Oswald Alte Liebe GmbH in Timmendorfer Strand

The pizzas are highly recommended. 😀 Whether inside or outside, the atmosphere is very pleasant! The staff is very friendly, personally! I highly recommend this restaurant :-)

We felt very comfortable. The food was sensational. The best seat near the bar. The staff was friendly and very humorous. Especially the thing with the Coke, Fanta, and Sprite machine. Very amusing.

Very friendly staff, very nice atmosphere, unfortunately I had a rubber ring in my pizza and the only apology I got was a friendly smile.

Very decent Italian food. The rump steak wasn't cooked medium, and after complaining to the kitchen, they changed it, and we ended up getting a new plate. That's simply great service.

€25 for a main course salad that, in terms of size, could easily pass for a starter. Hardly any shrimp, and even the dressing wasn't generous. Typical tourist rip-off place with more show than substance!

It was incredibly good. The staff was very attentive and friendly. The food tasted great. A good, varied menu.

Good restaurant. The Oswald isn't an upscale restaurant, but it stands out for its excellent, honestly prepared dishes. Service was friendly and prompt. Dog-friendly. Reasonable value for money.

Salmon was burnt. Fried potatoes were burnt. The two new receptionists were unfriendly and even arrogant. Sorry...but unfortunately, that's how it was. We still gave a good tip, as always...but we won't be coming back... What a shame.

I'm rarely speechless, but what happened to me in this restaurant left me absolutely stunned, as if I were in a Neo-Loriot sketch. As a solo traveler, I wanted to treat myself to a quiet meal... just enjoy, relax, and breathe deeply. Instead, the waiter at the door informed me that they "don't really like" single guests—sorry? I was then summarily seated, against my will, at a table with a complete stranger who was just as unwilling to be in this situation as I was. We complied, perhaps because we were a little taken aback. The waiter even laughed at us occasionally, saying that we seemed to be getting along well. Apparently, being alone here is a crime, punishable by forced socialization. But things got even more absurd: A third single person was also almost "matched"—the waiter acted like an intrusive entertainer on a bad cruise ship. This wasn't a restaurant visit—this was a bad sketch. I've rarely experienced such ignorance and aggression towards guests. Anyone who doesn't want single guests should communicate this clearly – ideally with a sign saying, "Warning: No one is welcome to be alone." Absolutely disrespectful, embarrassing, and for me: never again.

Suuuuuper delicious restaurant! Great atmosphere, still cozy late at night thanks to the heat lamps. The pasta arrabiata and tagliatelle with salmon are a dream! We went back the very next day because we enjoyed it so much :)

We visited the Oswald Restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand and were very disappointed. The bruschetta was a real disappointment: carelessly presented, the bread soft instead of crispy, and the tomatoes watery and bland. Even the small shrimp pan couldn't save it; the shrimp were barely seasoned, rather rubbery, and swimming in a meaningless sauce. For the price, we expected considerably more. The service was okay. The lady was friendly, the gentleman was very serious, and intimidating. Overall, the quality of the food didn't match the price. Definitely not a restaurant we would recommend.

Three of us visited the restaurant in the afternoon for coffee and cake and chose a table outside. The ambiance was quiet, as only two other tables were occupied – an overall relaxed atmosphere. The espressos were decent, but we felt the value for money was not adequate. The cakes on offer – Zupfkuchen (pulled cake) and Bienenstich (bee sting) – were very reminiscent of cheap frozen goods and were not very tasty. We also ordered bruschetta, which consisted of only four small pieces. Here, too, the portion was rather disappointing, and we would have expected more – both in terms of size and quality. Overall, our visit was unfortunately not entirely satisfactory. While the quiet location and outdoor area are pleasant, the quality of the food and the value for money left much to be desired.

Visited for dinner on a summer Sunday evening. Friendly service, the kitchen accommodated a special request (despite being very busy). Delicious dishes. Overall, contrary to our fears, not a "tourist rip-off." Highly recommended!

Great service, super tasty food 😊 I recommend the cheeseburger, it’s delicious.

Very nice ambiance and extremely friendly service. I had grilled chicken breast with baked potatoes and creamed mushrooms. A highly recommended dish! We had a very short wait for our food, and the portions were generous. Highly recommended restaurant in Timmendorf.

Unfortunately, we can't rate the food because we weren't served. Even though the staff saw us, no one seemed to feel responsible. We waited 20 minutes without anyone coming to our table. For this reason, we left the restaurant. It was very irritating that no one responded even as we left, even though we were noticed.

More show than substance The salad was missing crispy bread; it only arrived upon request and was far from crispy. The spaghetti with garlic and chili had no garlic at all and very little chili oil. After repeated requests, they added a little chili oil. There's still plenty of room for improvement; a disappointing restaurant visit.

Everything was great. We'd love to come back.

Real vacation vibes! Friendly staff. The food was also delicious and fresh. I like the ambiance best. Great value for money! I'm looking forward to my next visit.

We went to Restaurant Oswald, and unfortunately, the overall experience was rather disappointing. A table for two wasn't available...they almost refused us a table for six. It took a discussion with two waiters/waitresses to get us seated. So, better not to be a guest? We finally took a seat there, and a family joined us. The service seemed very unprofessional, lacking in quality, or poorly coordinated. The Oswald Trio was an outrage for a restaurant. The three types of meat were mass-produced and tasted as if they were all cooked in the same fat. We also had lukewarm fries and a handful of salad. On top of that, we had two Thomy bags of mustard and ketchup. Okay for a big-city snack bar. For a restaurant with these prices, it's outrageous. My wife sent back her half-full plate of truffle pasta... The food on offer at other tables also looked unappealing. The dishes, too, looked more like a cafeteria, considering the price category. Overall, the visit felt more like a visit to a fast food restaurant than a feeling of dining in a restaurant – prices aside. The noise and the hectic behavior of the staff played a large part in the experience. Conclusion Service/customer contact/commitment to hospitality was nonexistent. You just don't have to worry about it in a place like this. It just works. At another location, this wouldn't last long. That's the essence of it.

A beautiful restaurant with a fantastic selection of dishes, including vegetarian options. The food is delicious and the service is very friendly.

Very tasty food in a nice atmosphere

A wonderful experience at Restaurant Oswald. The food was very good. The service was excellent. You feel at home and enjoy going there.

The fried potatoes and vegetables were very greasy. The rump steak hadn't been properly cooked yet, but it tasted good. The service was very friendly.

We paid and didn't receive a receipt. When we asked for it (because the price seemed a bit high to us), they gave it to me in an unfriendly manner. In fact, alcoholic drinks had been added to the bill (by the way: there were only three tables occupied). When I asked for it and asked for a correction, they didn't respond at all and pretended they didn't hear me. They unfriendly handed me the difference. I have nothing against foreigners, I'm one myself, but these rip-off people in Timmendorf are simply not nice. I'm just assuming that it happens frequently there or is some kind of scam. Anyone can make mistakes, but a proper apology would be nice.

We shared a starter and each had a main course – everything was delicious. The portions might be a bit small for a hungry man, but I had the veal liver, which was very good and plentiful. The pasta dishes look delicious. We'll definitely be back!

Very friendly service, and we haven't had such a delicious meal in a long time. We'll be back. We can recommend it with a clear conscience.

Highly recommended! Thank you very much!

Very tasty and mega large pizzas

Highly recommended. Friendly staff, great food...

Soooo friends... We stumbled upon this place by chance today... We immediately got a seat for four... The entire staff was very friendly and accommodating from start to finish... The food was absolutely fantastic. Freshly prepared and served deliciously... I finally got to eat a pizza in Timmendorf that actually tasted good👌 The cheeseburger was also delicious.

Unfortunately, the egg in the carbonara was set, and the sauce in the other pasta was too salty. The spoon was already stuck in the food, something I've never seen before. However, the service responded to our criticism of the taste, which was "good," and offered us a free coffee. Since we were dissatisfied with the food, we declined the coffee and decided to move on. The prices per dish were quite high at around €20-25. We would have preferred a discount due to the poor quality. The atmosphere was okay if you enjoy watching people pass by.

Located alongside the other restaurants on the promenade, Restaurant Oswald offers delicious food and a friendly atmosphere. The service is prompt and manages even the evening rush well.

After my first two visits, I went back to Oswald with friends last week. Unfortunately, the quality has declined significantly. We had the cheeseburger again. The burger was cold, the fries were so-so. The bruschetta for the appetizer was the simplest white bread and very bland in taste. The Caesar salad wasn't well seasoned. They also used iceberg lettuce. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer good. It's a shame, because the ambiance is very nice. The pizzas on the neighboring tables still looked good. After the first visit: Amazing. Very good Italian. Great ambiance, friendly service, and delicious food.

There are many dining options along the promenade. But Oswald impressed us so much that we returned the following day. We experienced very attentive service, so we can recommend Oswald's at any time and would return again.

The price-performance ratio isn't right. Main meals costing around €25 don't even include a salad. The taste isn't anything special either. Only the pizzas are quite good.

We were treated very kindly and had a delicious meal 👌

Very good service and the food was delicious!

Very tasty 😋 and very nice people here. Complaint? Taken care of in a flash. Always happy to come back, but unfortunately I have to say it's not the same anymore. Of course, you have to give new things a chance. This was the second time we've been here with the new owner. On average, most of the food is half-cold. If you order a starter and a main course, the main course arrives while you're still eating the starter. It was the same at the other tables. Unfortunately, it's like a fast-food restaurant, which has nothing to do with quality. A real shame.

Delicious pasta with lots of salmon! And pizza diabolo. We had a great time!

Congratulations to all those who have already complained about not being allowed to push tables together. When we (two people) ordered the perennial favorite, the Holsteiner Schnitzel, we couldn't have guessed what was lurking in the salad! It's a shame, as the schnitzel itself is very tasty, and the potatoes are also perfectly edible. The salad contained small, halved tomatoes, some of which had mold on the stems. We politely pointed this out, and the waitress returned with a new salad and the words: "We always get our delivery in the morning and have now thrown away all the tomatoes." After the initial shock, the next one: there was a light fur on the stem again. We also found a few hairs in the salad. Apparently, the criticism of the first tomato hadn't reached the kitchen. As an apology, we were given a free coffee, amazing! When the plates were cleared, there was neither an apology nor a further explanation of what had happened. It's a shame that in all the excitement, the thought of taking some cute furry photos didn't occur to us. We won't eat here again. We won't push a table together either, it's not possible anyway...

The food was very good, as was the service and ambience.

The ambiance outside is really nice, overlooking the pedestrian street, and there's always something going on there. The roof over the entire area makes it great even in the rain. It was truly inviting and well-attended. The service was rather off-putting. You felt like you were a nuisance; no advice was offered, and there was neither a smile nor anything else. My husband didn't tip because of the food and the service. The waiter left without so much as a "goodbye," shaking his head in fury. The burger was cold and tasteless. The pizza was okay but not amazing; my daughter's pasta was the best.

I had the burger and it came pretty quickly

Top restaurant! There's something for everyone on the menu. The food comes quickly, and the service is very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Simply top-notch and super friendly service! The food was outstanding – fresh, flavorful, and lovingly prepared. The drinks were truly delicious and creative. The service deserves special mention: super friendly, attentive, and warm. You feel completely at home.

Super friendly staff. The atmosphere in the summer with the fire columns is lovely and pleasant. I recommend the pasta; it was delicious.

Great staff, atmosphere too (except for the long toilet). We had pasta once, which was really good. And chicken breast fillet with fries. The fries were cooked too long, the meat was dry, and didn't really have much flavor. The other dishes all looked good, too. But looks aren't everything. It's a shame.

We just popped in as we were passing by. Super friendly staff and delicious food. You could definitely tell they use fresh ingredients. We'll definitely be back.

We love coming here. The ambiance has become truly beautiful after the renovation. The staff 👍 is incredibly warm, attentive, and personable—you immediately feel welcome. (Thanks for that.) The food is delicious, of course, they could always go a step further—but overall, the quality, taste, and atmosphere are just right. Oswald—a clear recommendation!

We visited Oswald on a Friday evening around 7:30 p.m. and had no trouble getting a table on the terrace. Reservations are not accepted. The starter arrived very quickly, as did the main courses. Requesting changes to the side dishes was no problem at all. The food was delicious (I'll order it again next time) and the service was friendly. We'll definitely be back.

The snacks are quite good and the service is good

Delicious food, very good service. And a coffee after dinner is a must.

I had the salmon with roasted potatoes and cucumber salad. I couldn’t express the feeling I had with that piece of salmon, cooked perfectly, juicy, the roasted crust was overwhelming. Service was excellent and food was served fast. Drinks are also very tasty. Highly recommended. Thank you very much.

Delicious, quickly served food, excellent cakes, and the service is qualified and friendly. The prices are reasonable for Timmendorfer standards. We'd gladly return.

Das Restaurant heißt mittlerweile Oswalds Restaurant. Waren heute zum Mittagessen dort. Die Geräuschkulisse war heftig. Pizza war gut. Das Nudelgericht schmackhaft. Leider wurde meine Frage bei der Bestellung, ob ich eine etwas kleinere Nudelportion erhalten kann, verneint. Fazit: Habe die Portion nicht geschafft und Lebensmittel werden verschwendet. Leider wurde ich auch nicht gefragt, ob ich die restlichen Nudeln mitnehmen möchte. Alles sehr unverständlich. Passt doch wohl nicht mehr in die heutige Zeit! Preise für Nachtisch deutlich zu hoch. Kein Eis im Angebot. Kellner wirkte eher genervt als motiviert!

The food was excellent, the staff was very attentive, the best restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand!

First-class. Very friendly service and the food was delicious.

Very delicious food. The pizza dough was light and well-topped. The salmon pasta was perfectly seasoned. Excellent value for money. Very friendly service. The atmosphere was pleasant and modern, with heaters and blankets.

The Oswald Restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand impressed us with its solid overall package. The location is excellent – ​​central yet quiet, ideal for a relaxed meal. The food was good: fresh, well-prepared, and absolutely delicious. Those expecting fine Michelin-starred cuisine might not be in the right place – but that's not what Oswald aims to be. Rather, the restaurant impresses with its excellent value for money, which is certainly a positive aspect in a place like Timmendorf. The service was also friendly and attentive. Overall, a pleasant, no-nonsense experience – down-to-earth, honest, and recommended for anyone who wants to eat well without breaking the bank.

Nice and pleasant ambiance. The food was okay, but a bit pricey. Unfortunately, the value for money here isn't quite right.

Waren mit 6 Personen da, allen hat es gut geschmeckt außer der Pfannfisch war nicht genießbar! Fisch war trocken 😫 Dann mussten wir durch die offene Küchentür sehen! Dass das Personal in der Küche geraucht haben! Sorry dass geht ja gar nicht!

Very nice ambience and friendly waiters, I always enjoy coming back to Oswald.

My boyfriend and I were on a short trip to Timmendorfer Strand. We ate here two days in a row because we enjoyed the food so much yesterday. A large selection of dishes, excellent value for money, good service, and a lovely atmosphere. The food was delicious, and they even have blankets and heaters. We'd be happy to go back anytime :)

Very tasty, highly recommended. Despite the thunderstorm, we were in great hands.

Beautiful restaurant with a great atmosphere, heaters, and friendly staff. We generally expected more; the food was okay but nothing special. The price/performance ratio wasn't quite right.

The food was very good. The service was very good. But when I order a small side salad and end up paying almost 10 euros just for the salad, I find that outrageous.

We were on vacation one week and ate there twice. It was very good, friendly, fast, and attentive. Our dog was even offered water. The burger was probably the BEST I've ever eaten. When the weather got a bit bad, they heated the outside area. Great! Once for dessert, a piece of homemade cake – delicious.

We ate here with the family. They kindly moved us to a table close together, which was great. We ordered a children's salami pizza, among other things, and received a baked pizza for over €6, which was incredibly greasy. Furthermore, the chicken was very tough, which may have been due to the meat being cut incorrectly. Overall, we found it simply inadequate for the price.

Really good food and very friendly service. I can only recommend it.

The pizza is definitely highly recommended. The service was very good and friendly. We'll be back.

We were there spontaneously and by chance. The staff was super friendly and accommodating! The food didn't take long to arrive and was incredibly delicious. Fresh, perfectly cooked, and the portion sizes were just right. Highly recommended. We'd be back!

We ate there yesterday and it was a very nice evening all around. I can only recommend the goat cheese and liver. My wife had the bruchetta and the filled ravioli which were also a very good choice.

***Especially the waitress Dilan was great***

We went to the Oswald restaurant today and unfortunately the overall visit was rather disappointing. A table reservation (up to 6 people) is generally not possible, which is impractical - especially in a busy place like Timmendorfer Strand. The service didn't seem very professional: the waiters talked loudly among themselves, often using expressions like "Digga" or "Dude", which spoiled the overall impression. One of the waiters also smelled strongly of a very strong deodorant. We also noticed a few negative things in the kitchen: the chefs wore jeans and sneakers and listened to loud music that didn't fit with the ambience of the dining room. Unfortunately, it doesn't help if you constantly open and close the kitchen door. The taste of the pizza was okay - the edge was nice and crispy, but the tomato sauce was watery, which meant the base was completely soggy and the salami was unfortunately quite tasteless. Some of the dishes were also chipped and looked unkempt. Overall, the visit had more of the character of a leisure activity than a professionally run catering business. I'll also add a menu since it isn't available anywhere online. By the way, you can also pay with a credit card, but there is no information about this anywhere.

Modern decor, delicious food and good portions

Delicious pizza. But somehow the final visual icing on the cake was missing. Overall quite expensive, especially the drinks.

The four of us ate outside for coffee and cake. The restaurant was not particularly busy at the time, 2 other tables were occupied. The restaurant is centrally located in the pedestrian zone of Timmendorf. The outdoor area was separated and covered with glass panes, and it was also heated with radiant heaters - which was almost too warm during our visit with the high outside temperatures. Smoking is allowed in the restaurant's outdoor area, but unfortunately the smell of smoke accumulated through the glass panes and the roof and didn't seem to go away. The service seemed listless, but completed its tasks reliably. The cappuccino and latte macchiato served were okay, but not appropriate for the price. The cakes (pump cake and apple crumble cake) tasted like they came from the Rewe freezer shelf. The small Caesar salad consisted of 5 lettuce leaves, 2 small tomatoes, grated parmesan, dressing and a slice of bread, which was also a bit disappointing. We ended up paying almost €40 for 4 coffees, 2 pieces of cake and a very small Caesar salad. It's inexplicable to me where all the good reviews here come from, perhaps from earlier, better times. In its current state, in which it probably serves frozen products, this place is more reminiscent of a listlessly run tourist trap.

The food was okay and there is nothing to complain about. Otherwise you feel like a foreign body in this restaurant. What would you like to drink, what would you like to eat and how would you like to pay? Otherwise the customer service/customer contact is nil in this place. No need to repeat.

Very tasty, very friendly staff.

We were warmly welcomed. The heaters made sitting cozy and pleasant. Our food (beef steak, chicken and salami pizza) was super tasty. We'd love to come back!! The 3 with the HALFBIKE

Food very good 👍 Service really great! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Super delicious food and fast, friendly service. I definitely recommend it. Dorade and Garnelen were delicious. I would especially like to thank Ms. Nagihan for her help and friendly service.

Delicious food and very good service. A special thank you to Nagihan for their positive welcome and good hospitality.

Great atmosphere, very fast food and drinks, friendly service.

It was very tasty and the service was super nice... I can recommend the liver, it was great.

Highly recommended!!! We were in Timmendorfer Strand for three days and were here every day :-) The food is delicious and the service is very friendly. We felt very comfortable.

The three of us were there for lunch – and we absolutely loved it! The restaurant impresses with a modern, inviting atmosphere in which you immediately feel welcome. The service was very friendly, attentive and at the same time pleasantly unobtrusive. My personal highlight was the herring fillet “Hausfrauenstyle” – wonderfully tender, with a wonderfully seasoned sauce, simply delicious! My husband loved his juicy burger, and our son still raves about the freshly baked pizza bread. A great place for a relaxed family meal with really good food. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty, Italian to perfection. The buffalo mozzarella pizza was perfect and tasted amazing. The salmon was on point and the rosemary potatoes were perfect. For dessert we had homemade panna cotta and tiramisu! Indescribably delicious and more than reasonably priced. Happy again and recommended to everyone. Price performance absolutely right!

Nice ambience, super delicious food and very friendly and attentive staff. Both young and old are served with a relaxed charm. :-) We can definitely recommend it.

Finally a restaurant where you pay for both the view and the first-class food! We were there with a large group and it was simply breathtaking. I liked the steak best! Highly recommended!!

I was in the house for the first time today. It's unbelievable what the chef conjures up in the kitchen... pure magic, it was so delicious. A restaurant that everyone who likes perfectly prepared food should go to. The service was great, not intrusive, but always at the table without being asked when needed. Gladly again at any time 👍🏼

I was there today with my girlfriend and what can I say, just WOW! As soon as we entered we were warmly welcomed by the employees, really friendly and attentive. But the absolute highlight was the food, simply delicious and made with love. We felt comfortable and will definitely come back. Absolute recommendation!!!🥰🥰🥰

My wife and I had a lovely evening with you. Greetings to the kitchen and the nice waiters who do their job really well. We were both very happy with the food

Absolute recommendation from me! We come here on every Timmendorf trip. Even when it was still called Oswald's Alte Liebe, it was a must to eat here on the first day. Even after the change of ownership and the renovation, everything is great. As always, the staff is on the ball and the menu is very appealing.

"Oswald's old love" is really a little insider tip in Timmendorfer Strand! The food was delicious, you can simply taste that it was cooked with fresh ingredients and heart. The tarte flambée was particularly amazing! The atmosphere is really cozy and the staff is super friendly and attentive, you immediately feel at home. Whether you just want to drink something or eat properly, everything fits here. I'll definitely come back!

Very friendly, good location, nice terrace, comfortable seats, lots of heaters, good wind protection, lots of choice, very tasty food and drinks, lunch is worth the price

We ate there a few times on vacation. It really is incredibly delicious. The rump steak was spot on and my tagliatelle with salmon was simply divine. Guests' wishes are taken into account and the staff is very friendly. The outdoor area is beautifully designed. We will definitely come back

The Oswald Restaurant is a very special place for me! As soon as you enter, you can feel the warmth of the team - hospitality really comes to life here. The staff are not only attentive, but also radiate a warmth that makes the evening even better. And then the food - wow... Especially the pizza and the pasta are a real masterpiece, fresh ingredients and prepared with so much love that you can taste it in every bite. I always feel welcome and comfortable here. Thanks to the wonderful team for this warmth! I always enjoy coming back. ❤️

Super delicious food. Very friendly staff.
