Restaurant Filou in Timmendorfer Strand

Amazingly delicious food! Top-notch service. Always happy to come back.

This restaurant is always our first stop when we're in town. Great, delicious food at fair prices. Add to that the competent and excellent service. There's nothing to complain about, but simply a thank you for the hospitality.

So far so good, although the service staff could be a bit friendlier.

Delicious food and very friendly staff.

This was our first time at Filou—but definitely not our last. The house-cured salmon as a starter was fantastic. For the main course, the cod in panko breading and the homemade pickled beef were simply delicious. We highly recommend the Merlot Rose from our own experience 😉 The team is very friendly and professional. We'd be happy to come back.

The service is super friendly and attentive. The food is truly delicious and the prices are truly fair.

Delicious food and very friendly and attentive service.

Three of us (2 adults, 1 child) came here for lunch. There were daily specials at very reasonable prices and very friendly service. The food arrived quickly and tasted very good. The value for money was very good; we highly recommend it. We had sauerfleisch (pork meatballs), Königsberger Klopse (a kind of meatball), and

Unfortunately, the fish was overcooked. Nothing else could have helped it get above 3 stars. What a pity...

We ate there for the first time on Wednesday, just the two of us. We didn't reserve a table, but we still had no problems. We enjoyed the food, and the service was absolutely fantastic! As soon as our drinks ran out, they brought us refills. We had a seat outside, so we can only comment on the seating inside. The ambiance was okay, but that's a matter of taste! Others would rate it highly. Overall, 5 stars!

Three of us came here for lunch and sat outside, which is beautifully decorated. Friendly and clean. The service was very good. We were offered the daily specials, and changes to our orders, such as more vegetables/salad than potatoes, were accommodated. The food was very tasty and arrived quickly; three servers served us simultaneously. The taste was very good. We had rump steak, Königsberger Klopse (a kind of meatball), and sauerfleisch (a kind of pork sausage). The service during the meal was also excellent. While clearing the table, a delicious dessert was pointed out, and one or two were recommended, so we treated ourselves to fresh strawberries. All in all, a very good stop. We can highly recommend it.

A very nice restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand. There's plenty of space both inside and outside. The beach isn't far away. The service is very attentive and friendly. The menu is very good and offers a wide selection. They even offer a lunch menu on weekends. We opted for the Pannfisch (pan-fried fish) for €26.50 and the Königsberger Klopse (fried meatballs) for €21.50. Both were very tasty and filling. The 0.5-liter Büble Hefeweizen on tap and the 0.4-liter Alster beer each cost €5.90. Highly recommended.

A restaurant you simply must visit when you're in Timmendorf. Truly delicious food and great, friendly, and very funny service! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Good cuisine at moderate prices.

Very tasty and a nice selection of different dishes, including for children. It's not exactly cheap, but as we discovered, nowhere else in Timmendorfer Strand is that cheap.

Delicious food, very friendly service, and an overall great experience. Very tasty deluxe fried fish.

Four of us went there for dinner. The children each received a notebook and pens, a wonderful touch! Blankets are provided, perfect for a rainy German summer. The service was also very friendly and attentive. Wait times were absolutely fine. We really enjoyed the food; we had the Timmendorfer pannfisch (pan-fish). Perhaps they should point out outside that there's a separate children's menu. We only read something about a discount for young people's portions, which would have been too much for our toddlers, and we almost moved on. Maybe we just didn't find the information. We would love to come back.

We were here for lunch. The small salmon salad was too small in my opinion. Otherwise, everything was fine. Fast service and good food. The portion size and value for money are debatable when it comes to the salad. They have a very good children's menu with coloring books and crayons. A beautiful location with a view of the beach promenade.

My absolute favorite restaurant! The kids really enjoyed it too. TOP-notch service. TOP-notch food. Very good value for money.

In the evening, eleven of us had dinner on the covered and now beautifully modernized terrace. As always, the service was excellent and extremely attentive, the food was delicious and served almost simultaneously, and all at absolutely fair prices. Filou has been a consistently good choice for decades, without the quality outliers that you often find in other restaurants in the summer.

The food was delicious. Large portions. Perfect service.

Timmendorf's "big players" are located right next to the spa gardens. There's always something going on at Filou. The busiest hours are around 6 p.m. The service is friendly and the food is delicious. Prices are typical for a tourist hotspot.

We spontaneously wanted to hold a family celebration for about 30 guests. We received excellent advice during the organization (over the phone), and everyone was happy at the celebration itself! The service and food were excellent!

The food was good. The dishes could have used more mayo. Personally, I always find it annoying when there's not enough mayo with my schnitzel and fries. I also think the price (€23.90; as of July 2025) for a schnitzel is too high.

We actually went there twice today. At lunchtime for a piece of cake and coffee, and in the evening for a delicious meal. Both times were really great! The atmosphere is really great, the service is excellent!!! They deserve 10 stars for that. The cake and food were really delicious! I highly recommend the chicken soup. ♡ Delicious! We're already looking forward to next year and will visit the cafe more often!

The food was delicious, especially the salad, but I felt the 200g rump steak was too small for the price, even with the side dishes. The service was very good. I highly recommend eating here.

Dear friends from North Rhine-Westphalia, I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was simply delicious and prepared with loving attention to detail. 👍👍👍

It was relatively cool, and the heaters could have been turned on. The service staff were a little overwhelmed. At least, that's how it seemed. The food was very tasty. However, I ordered a Coca-Cola and got a Pepsi without any prior explanation. It just doesn't make sense. Otherwise, it was pretty good.

Delicious food at reasonable prices and very friendly service. I'd be happy to go again.

Very nice place! Good food, fast service and friendly staff. Highly recommended!

Nice restaurant. You can apparently eat well any time of day. We had coffee, ice cream, and cake. The price/performance ratio is decent here :)

The food is very tasty, the restaurant is clean and the staff is respectful and friendly.

An excellent evening today at Restaurant Filou. The service was super fast and extremely friendly. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes and was absolutely delicious. To finish off, we had a yeast dumpling filled with cherries! Top-notch. We'd love to come back!

Great service and great food! Tim stood out! And the tall, handsome man!

Delicious home-cooked food, beautifully presented on the plate, very tasty, and excellent service. We'd be happy to come back!

The service was friendly and tart, with a Frisian touch. Delicious food: jacket potatoes with turkey strips and herring. Large, tasty potatoes, good cream, and tender, tasty herring. We were well-fed. The good news: A complaint about a potato being only lukewarm was handled professionally. The plate came back perfect.

Good food, fast service and quick serving of the food.

Good price-performance ratio Friendly service

Large portions... who wouldn't get full here??... We had pan-fried fish and salmon... served as expected. The beer wasn't cold enough, which was a shame for a hot day. Service was quick and uncomplicated. Value for money OK.

Shortly after 8 p.m.…kitchen already closed That's what the service said What a shame!

I visited the Filou restaurant with high expectations, but was unfortunately disappointed in several respects. While the location is beautiful and the atmosphere generally pleasant, that alone couldn't salvage the overall impression. The food was neither particularly fresh nor well-seasoned for my taste. What was particularly disappointing was that I had significant stomach upset afterward – something that shouldn't really happen in a restaurant in this price range. The drinks were okay, nothing more and nothing less. The staff was friendly and attentive in some areas, which I would like to emphasize – but service alone is, of course, not enough if the food isn't impressive. Overall, the value for money wasn't right for me. Given the number of good restaurants in the region, I would definitely choose a different place next time.

Unfortunately, they don't welcome seniors here, which is strange for Timmendorfer Strand. For my mother, who is unfortunately visibly seriously ill with cancer, there wasn't even a children's telker. With three full-paying guests, I would have preferred better service. That's a shame. Throwing away an entire meal just because you're not willing to provide a smaller portion for seniors is, in my opinion, short-sighted.

Super delicious food, which was delivered quickly. There were coloring books and pencils for the kids, and a few high chairs available. Highly recommended.

Modern restaurant, got a table on the spur of the moment. Very friendly waiter and delicious food. Plates could be a bit larger to make eating easier, but otherwise everything was excellent and very fresh!

Friendly staff. Seated even without a reservation. Delicious food and drinks, special requests accommodated without any problems. Keep it up...!

We had eight different main courses, several salads, and desserts. Everything was delicious, the portions were generous, and the waiter was extremely friendly and quick-witted! So, everything was top-notch!

We had dinner here four times during our nine nights in Timmendorfer Strand, and we were always completely satisfied. Our waitress, Katharina, knew exactly what we were looking for after just the second visit. We'll be back on our next visit.

We absolutely loved the Filou restaurant! The ambience is cozy and stylish, the service warm, professional and attentive. The food was excellent - fresh, creative, quick and prepared with a lot of love. We will definitely come back and can recommend Filou to anyone who wants to enjoy good food in a pleasant atmosphere. We have already been here for dinner five times during our 10-day vacation 😀

Service and food were very good. Since we were actually there at "coffee and cake time" and there were hardly any guests there, we thought we had done something wrong, mistake, everything was fine. Thumbs up!

Update: We were at Filou again yesterday. According to my review, the owner had already announced that the guest room would be modernized. In fact, the dining room now looks much nicer and the restaurant can switch to additional rooms in the evening if there is a lot of demand. For example, we sat in the beautifully decorated breakfast room of the hotel in the building. Now everything was perfect for us. The food was again excellent and the service was still top notch. An absolute recommendation for us. The Filou on the beach promenade particularly impresses with its incredibly friendly and attentive service. 6 stars would actually have been appropriate here. Our friendly service person, who is primarily responsible, always checked to see if there was anything left to be desired. When my mother wanted to make a seat cushion out of her jacket, she reacted immediately and brought us a seat cushion from outside. Your colleague brought a new knife immediately after we dropped a knife on the floor, and all the service staff were extremely polite. The food was also very good. Whether schnitzel or matjes, everything was very tasty. The prices are not cheap, however in the price level of the place. Only the ambience doesn't really match the quality of the food and this top service. It's quite cozy, but has something of a 90s pub feel to it. That's exactly why it's important to know. Don't be put off by the ambience, just stop by and enjoy.

Always delicious, lunch even on weekends, fair prices for Timmendorfer standards and very nice staff 👍🍀

Delicious food, very good service and a lovely evening

Please go there. Especially in the asparagus season. It's great

I can highly recommend the restaurant! We drink a cappuccino there every week before exercising and eat a scoop of ice cream with chocolate sauce. That means, unfortunately I can't rate the food yet.

Brand new: great breakfast with a sea view daily from 8:30 a.m. We were thrilled.

Nice service. The food was well seasoned and the fish was hot and cooked to perfection. Prices as usual at Timmendorfer Strand

The food was great and the service was great.

We were able to enjoy the friendly service, the excellent cuisine, and the new ambiance for several days. We spent two evenings outside with cozy blankets and the warmth of the heaters. We spent the third evening indoors, even without a reservation. Many thanks to everyone involved. The food was a delight. We had fish with baked potatoes and the world's best marinade several times.

Excellent service. Many thanks, especially to Michael. He knows how to use gestures and always has a quick quip ready. Fantastic. This completes the dinner. Excellent wine from the Meitzler winery. Thanks for the lovely end to the day. Oh, and I see. Better make a reservation in advance. Word has gotten around.

Highly recommended. The young lady in service was very friendly, attentive and accommodating. We felt very comfortable. Our food was very good. Price-performance fits.

Nice staff, good location, but rather bland schnitzel with potatoes and penne rigate with minced meat sauce. Expensive

We have been coming here again and again for many years and being pampered with delicious food and friendly service. Many thanks to Katharina, Michael and Tim, whom we call representative of the entire team. Keep it up. We are already looking forward to our next visit with you, where after the meal it will be again: 2 coffee crema without milk and without sugar 😄😘

Completely satisfied! The food came quickly and was very tasty. The service was also nice and friendly. Highly recommended!

Great restaurant, close to the beach, with a nice outdoor seating area. Thanks to the heaters, this can also be used in cooler temperatures. The service is very friendly and attentive, you don't have to wait long here. By the way, this also applies to food. The order came very quickly and it tasted really great. Fair prices, really recommended.

Very cozy, courteous staff and delicious food.

Super nice restaurant, with very nice service. (We were there twice) The food was very tasty and the beer was tasty.

Four of us happened to be here in Filou. Shortly before 8 p.m. and we were sitting at the back, hidden but large and comfortable. The food was great, and service? Simply top and we received a very friendly welcome right from the start. And very warm but also polite. Rarely have I experienced such a friendly waiter. We would love to come back 👌👌

Central location, nice atmosphere and very friendly service. We were there for the afternoon café. The café (filter café in a cup) was very good, the pieces of cake were unfortunately very small and the price was excessive. We'll keep trying!

Food was tasty, but nothing special.

Very friendly service staff. Nice atmosphere and very tasty food. Definitely coming back!

It's very nice there, staff friendly and cheerful, food super casual 🫶

Very good “bourgeois” food. Highly recommended.

Very friendly service, excellent food and above all everything tastes very good

The kale and the venison goulash were simply great. After the renovation it is even more beautiful here.

I was just in this beautiful modern restaurant with my girlfriend, beautifully decorated, traditional German and local cuisine, food very tasty, fresh. We had: Starter: garlic bread and baked salmon with potato pancakes and Dijon honey mustard souce. Main course: beef roulade (soft butter) with red cabbage (subtle note of cloves) and fried potatoes (my girlfriend wanted it), Timmendorf pan fish with mixed salad (yummy vinaigrette) and fried potatoes and last but not least, chocolate cakes with a liquid center, cherries and cream, apple strudel with vanilla ice cream and cream, all good portions and very tasty. The ladies in service were very friendly and helpful. We would definitely like to come back here,

Wie jedes Mal sehr gutes Essen, toller Service. Top. Sehr zu empfehlen.

Despite not having a reservation, we got a table at lunchtime and ate well and were served nicely.

Always happy...Good food...good staff..

Tourist trap. Everything was very nice, friendly service, but in the core business not above the level of a normal cafeteria.

So.....in my opinion the extremely nice and courteous service was crucial...the food was still delicious!

Two words that best describe our impression: 1. total enthusiasm or 2. absolutely recommendable or

We went to this beautiful restaurant without a reservation and still got a very nice seat, which was not a given given that the restaurant was full. We had the kale with fried potatoes and sausage from the winter menu, which was just perfect: the fried potatoes as they should be, the kale tasty and the sausage perfect with it. The meal was rounded off with a nice pilsner on tap that tasted really good. The Cehf was super sweet and nice, and always had a good eye for what was essential and important. In addition, it is an absolutely fair price for what is on offer! I can't understand the sometimes negative reviews, but be neutral and concentrate on the food and the service, you don't want to eat the table or chair! I can highly recommend Filou!

The schnitzel was ok, a little too dry, the fried potatoes were good. The turkey steak was soooo dry, the baked potato was completely white and tasteless and the garlic bread was hard and dry. That was really nothing! The service was very nice and attentive.

We went there for coffee in the afternoon. The coffee was delicious and the service was so nice that we were there for dinner two days later. A short-term reservation was no problem at all and the service was great. The food was great. My husband is from the north and says it was the best kale he's ever eaten, the fried potatoes were crispy, just as they should be. My venison goulash was super tender. When we're up here again, we'll be happy to come back. Highly recommended.

The chicken was really tough and you could hardly eat it... The portions to take away are really very small, which is really a bit outrageous. We definitely won't go here again.

Fast service. Had a pleasant lunch :). You can stop by.

The male waitress was nice and courteous. We had deer goulash and roast wild boar. Venison goulash very little. The taste was okay, but I've eaten better. The price is high, but unfortunately it doesn't do justice to the whole thing. In the evening we were there again, asked for mulled wine and they even had it. The name Filou does justice to the price €5.50 is a bit exaggerated, okay we should have asked for 0.2ml, that's exorbitant. Service was again very nice. This strange man with a red sweater attracted negative attention. Who asks me before going to the toilet whether he can help. Very uncomfortable to ask what your guests are doing. If you want to be premium, then act like it! I was very angry about this impudence. To your more than cheeky answer: I would like to answer your first question. I assume that if you charge premium prices, you will plan the portion better and pass it on to the customer appropriately. I converted the appreciation into euros by giving the employee an appropriate tip. Yes, we will gladly take advantage of the mulled wine in the center because, based on your comments, we don't want to visit them again and we won't recommend them to all our friends and relatives. The man in the red sweater asked a very indiscreet question and I can probably be chauffeured about it. How your guests can find each other in the kitchen is a mystery to me. Everything is very well described and you can also find the toilet. So I don't need help going to the toilet, I'm sorry for you. The problem is that you would like to be premium, but unfortunately you aren't and we'll be giving your restaurant a wide berth from now on. After these very bad answers and comments, I am not willing to return to this restaurant and would like to warn all guests about this owner. Due to the owner's lack of insight and snooty attitude, I'm only giving this one star because it wasn't worth more.

Very good venison goulash was served. Attentive and friendly service. Pleasant atmosphere.

Tourist rip-off. Everything overpriced

Great location with great outdoor seating and a very good menu with acceptable prices, service very nice and quick, gladly again Hi

- Furnishings: rustic, clean - Food: good home cooking - Service: friendly waiter 😊

Nice cozy restaurant. Everything was great, we would love to come back. 👌👍

Attentive friendly service. Very good meals. Cozy atmosphere. Thank you for that

The food was home-style and delicious. However, the tomato soup for my gluten intolerant grandson was a joke. Passata was served with a few herbs thrown in, which had nothing to do with soup, very disappointing. Or as my grandson said, it's more like pizza sauce than soup. Roulade, sliced ​​turkey and schnitzel were good.

Prima Restaurant.Nix zu meckern,Preise sind nat.tatsächlich bisserl hoch- wie es scheint aber Orts- üblich.🤔Etwas mehr Sauce zu den Matjes wäre ein Traum.😉😋😍

Great service, great food!!!everything was fresh and we were completely satisfied.

The service was nice. The portions are a bit too small for the price.

The apple pie with cream was really delicious. But we would like to highlight the incredibly polite and friendly service!

Despite not having a reservation, we got a table at lunchtime. It was very crowded. The service was tried hard, but slightly overwhelmed. The food was good, but we've eaten much better. The fried potatoes had the impression that they had just been warmed up because they were very mushy and hardly seasoned. The schnitzel tasted like it had been fried in fish fat.

Unfortunately my schnitzel was not very well seasoned at all, 2/3 of the fries were hard and inedible, unfortunately the waiter's reaction was not good, unfortunately no comparison to the surrounding restaurants in the neighborhood that I have visited before
