Restaurant Fischtopf in Bad Saarow

On a drizzly Friday afternoon, perhaps even a little outside of peak season, we were given a parking space, a table, courteous service, and delicious food.

Plaice simply brilliant👍👍, top location with a view of the water and the service very friendly 👋👋👋special highlights the tiger prawns 👍👍

The food was very good. The hamburger schnitzel, zander fillet, and black tiger prawns for two (though if you're a fan, you can manage the portion on your own 😜) were excellent. The waiter seemed a bit annoyed or lackluster at first. Nevertheless, he was very friendly, prompt, and professional 😊👍 The cappuccino was a delight, textbook.

Very, price performance is absolutely right

A beautifully located restaurant with very friendly service. The food was delicious and plentiful. The view from the terrace is unbeatable. Naturally, when the weather is nice, the comfortably furnished interior is hardly used. The outdoor area could use some sprucing up.

Tip top. Great food, friendly service, good prices. If anything's missing here, it's the typical Brandenburg rudeness in the service when you don't know the menu by heart and have questions. Instead, we received friendly and welcoming service here and were delighted. The dessert (fish-shaped panna cotta with yuzu cream) was a highlight in every respect.

Very tasty fish food and if the weather is good a beautiful terrace with a lake view

It's better to reserve a table in advance. The food was plentiful and delicious 😋

The food was very good and the staff friendly and accommodating! All in all, a successful evening!

Very good fish restaurant. Friendly and attentive service. The dining area was immaculately maintained, both inside and out. The sea bream and salmon we ordered were perfectly cooked!

I can't understand why a good restaurant (according to other people) is closed on the weekend. So we couldn't go there.

5 stars are definitely not enough. It was a dream stay with you. Service (Nicole 😍) was fantastic 🏆 The food was delicious 🤤 🐟. Everything is just right here from A to Z. Many thanks to the whole team. Two thumbs up 👍🏻🥰. We give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!

Hello, I had an incredibly relaxed and tasteful evening with my girlfriend. This is a place where you are completely taken care of in terms of both cuisine and service.

We were passing through and stopped here based on the good reviews. The location is perfect—directly overlooking Lake Scharmützelsee. The food was excellent. The four types of fish on the "Fine Fish Platter for Two" were all perfectly cooked; none of the fish was dry. The vegetables were also very tasty. The portion was generous; even the hungriest person should be satisfied. The service was prompt and friendly. Cashless payment is accepted. We were lucky and got one of the few parking spaces right next to the restaurant. But we saw more parking spaces a short distance away. The only thing that bothered us was that the opening hours on the website were listed as Mon-Fri from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., but there was a sign on site stating that they weren't opening until 5:00 p.m. today. Such ad hoc changes to opening hours should be communicated better. Therefore, I deducted one star.

Very tasty, good, fast, friendly service.

Good fish food, but simple and quite high prices

Yes very, nice place, delicious food

It's always nice to eat there. A lovely atmosphere with friendly service and incredibly delicious and plentiful food.👍🥳🥳

Very attentive service, freshly prepared and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Where can you get really good fish in Bad Saarow? I mean, at the Fischtopf! Simply SUPERB! We were here twice 5 years ago, and now again 2 days in a row! Four absolutely fantastic meals. The fish solyanka as a starter (simply a fantastically delicious fish soup) is an absolute MUST for me! Attractive interior, and outside (sometimes inside too) a beautiful view of the lake. Down-to-earth, nothing fancy!

A delicious fish sandwich with a very large, fresh piece of fish, a lettuce leaf, crispy pickle slices, and onion rings. A real treat! The atmosphere is cozy and clean, and the service was very friendly, quick, and accommodating to customer requests. Of course, other fish dishes are also available.

Pleasant location, beautiful view of the lake, spacious outdoor seating, and a lovely dining room. Lovingly and modernly presented plates, with genuinely honest dishes. Highly recommended for 🐟 eaters. For meat lovers, there's a wonderful steak.

Beautiful restaurant with very good food. The prices are reasonable and perfectly acceptable. Attentive and friendly staff. Thank you.

We ate here twice this week and we weren't disappointed both times! Food very good!!!!

Great location, right on Scharmützelsee. Limited number of parking spaces directly at the restaurant. The food comes quickly, is very tasty and the service is attentive, friendly and very accommodating. All in all, a nice place for a cozy meal.

Very good menu and as the name suggests a lot of different fish. Well prepared. Nice service and good location by the lake. Recommended

It was a very tasty meal with a great view

Beautiful location by the lake, and the dishes were both visually and tastefully excellent. We chose wild garlic ravioli with asparagus and fried herring with fried potatoes. The staff is very friendly and accommodating.

Highly recommended. Daily recommendation was a poem. I haven't had such a good tuna steak in a long time. A really well-rounded meal. Service was very attentive and nice. Very pleasant atmosphere. Gladly again. Unfortunately you can't give 6 stars.

Sehr gute Fischgerichte, passender Weißwein, sehr flotte und umsichtige Bedienung, angenehmes Ambiente, sehr gerne wieder!!!

Hello everyone. We have known the fish pot in Bad Saarow for many years. We have had a variety of experiences here with regards to the quality of the food. The last experiences weren't the best. Now, after a long break (on a tip), we dared to do it again, what can we say, total enthusiasm. Creative cuisine, lovingly prepared, great quality of the products, a real treat in terms of taste. As a starter, the fish solyanke is a must for us. Opinions certainly differ when you see the price of €9. But given the products used in Soljanka, we think the price is absolutely justified. The range of food on offer is manageable, but rather small and tasty. On my first new attempt I tried the veal schnitzel. I didn't know yet. But a very good choice. The potato and cucumber salad served with it took some getting used to but tasted good. Tastes are just different. On the second visit we both decided on the tuna in a sesame coating, it was a dream, absolute gourmet cuisine for us. So conclusion: We are really very pleasantly impressed by the positive development in the fish pot. Keep it up and we'll be happy to come back

On a Monday in holiday-empty Bad Saarow, we still got decent food 50 minutes before closing time. And it tasted good. To explain: It's still hibernating here and everything around is closed or closes at 8 p.m. or earlier. Many thanks to the operators!

Very friendly, nice seats, good food.

Too expensive. A normal fish sandwich is missing. Instead, getichte for 16 to 28 euros. Too bad. Sales would be higher by lowering prices....

Don't always just give bad reviews. We were guests there again at the beginning of 2025. After a 4 year break. Because we were no longer satisfied at all at that time. But the new reviews and also the new chef convinced us to give this restaurant another chance. We - 2 people. We decided on the venison with dumplings and red cabbage. Direct hit. Super tender game. Homemade red cabbage (was confirmed to us later). And a sauce to put in it. For dessert, a chocolate crème brulee. As I said. Wild, super tender. Homemade red cabbage and 100% homemade sauce. Simply a great dish from start to finish. My wife and I left with smiles. This was due, among other things, to the always wide-awake, friendly but not intrusive service. It's nice to see people who still do this job and with passion and conviction. We were basically the last guests and when we left the restaurant we got to meet the chef. A really likeable person who you can tell that he fully supports what he does there. Please stay exactly like that. It's just fun to eat there. P.S. We both got really full!!!

Small but very good. Young, highly motivated team.

stopped here on a gray late autumn day after a hike on the riverside circular path; A delicious pumpkin cream soup and a fine fish solyanka with fresh bread eaten with a view of the lake - wonderful

Small, cozy... delicious. A soup was just the thing after an autumnal walk around Scharmützelsee.

Kleine aber feine Karte. Der Fisch ( Steinbutt und Seeteufel) war auf den Punkt gebraten. Dazu gab es hervorragende Beilagen, weit weg von 0815 Bratkartoffeln. Das alles zu einem angemessenen Preis. Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

Simply delicious, healthy and fresh!

Ich habe mein lebtag noch nie so abweisend es und unfreundliches Personal erlebt. Bei der Bestellung wurde nicht ausreichend nachgefragt, welcher Zander gewünscht wurde und einfach der teurere gebracht und abgerechnet. Gut, wir haben allerdings beim Essen nicht darauf geachtet, dass der Salat gar nicht angerichtet war. Unser Fehler. Das Essen allerdings verdient mehr als die volle Punktzahl, es war hervorragend von der Zubereitung und geschmacklichen Abstimmung. Schade, dass das Personal so unhöflich war, sonst würde ich wieder hingehen. Liebe Grüße und danke an den Koch, er ist spitze.

Recommended! Offer and atmosphere very good. Small but nice !!!!!

Anyone who visits Bad Saarow can eat delicious fish in the Fischtopf. Owners all very nice. And the view from the terrace on the lake, a dream.

We were lucky and got a table without a reservation. The service staff was very friendly and attentive, the food was very tasty, the fish was tender and well fried. Simply great! 👍

Amazing food and lake view! We had the perfect meal and time.

We liked it, unfortunately no parking spaces available.

good fish Magnificent monkfish. Devil fish in German. All the fish we ordered were very good. The zander, the salmon etc. .

Very good restaurant, the food is very good. You should reserve a table!

The food was ok, but given the prices you could expect a little more. I ordered a mixed plate. Bakam I have two shrimps and two small pieces of fish with some vegetables. It was a little greasy and a little too much salt.

Very nice atmosphere with a lake in the background. Friendly and courteous service. Tried different dishes and absolutely loved the taste and appearance. Deserved 5 stars.

Fish sandwiches to go are very tasty!

Very tasty food including a view of the lake. Very friendly staff. It's a pleasure to be a guest here!

Hello, now for all those who are complaining here that there is not enough choice of fish... do you only read one page of the menu and ignore the offers on the boards that are not on the menu? I think there is more than enough choice of fish in the restaurant and you should not forget that it is only a small fish restaurant and not a large kitchen, which means smaller storage capacities. And with 11 types of fish there is enough available. It's better to be small and clear and that the quality is right. One must not forget that the more food there is, the more chance there is that the quality will suffer if there is too much on offer. I can only recommend the fish pot to anyone visiting Saarow. 5 stars + from me.

Delicious food. The personnel is very friendly and courteous.

Everything tasted delicious, only for a fish 🐟 Restaurant not enough choice. View is great

The fish restaurant is located on Scharmützelsee in the north, directly on the lake. Unfortunately, the restaurant doesn't live up to its name, as the selection of fish is very limited. People are friendly and make an effort, but everything can be improved given the price level.

We ate there for the first time after many recommendations from friends. Anyone who likes pulpo or a delicious fish solyanka will be very satisfied. If you prefer fish fillet because you don't want bones, you might be a little disappointed with the selection. In a fish restaurant there should be more types of fish than just zander or salmon. You can also eat matjes, bismarck and fried herring at home. The dishes tasted good. The pike perch was fried crispy but unfortunately too dry. Nothing special for me personally.

Very nice restaurant. The food was very tasty. Great view of the lake.

Mega tasty and top service. We will be back definitely.

It is now our favorite fish restaurant, always very tasty and absolutely nice and friendly service…

Thank you. It was very delicious.

The service was great, the food was delicious, the price-performance ratio was good.

Well, unfortunately there is no “competition” nearby…. So unfortunately you are forced to eat there if you like fish. The food is nothing special and the atmosphere is reminiscent of a bistro. You don't need to say much about the opening times... You don't have to have it!

Pretty restaurant with a lake view. Very tasty food... staff very very nice!☺️

Very nice staff. Food very tasty.

We were here for the first time today. The restaurant itself looked very inviting. We ate outside with a view of the lake. The service was very friendly. While one dish hit the mark in terms of appearance and taste, another was not so appealing. The fish solyanka was really tasty. The prices are high, but it's still worth it to eat delicious fish there.

Very nice and the fish solyanka was really good. We would love to come back. Thanks to the nice team

Recommended, small restaurant with a view of the lake, closes early. Seems to be well attended, we made reservations in advance. Lots of fish dishes but also good prices, mostly over 25 euros, but there are also fish rolls... Must remember!!👍👍

Unfriendly waiter. Food tasted very tasty.

Very welcome, but unfortunately they are no longer open on Sundays

Because it was so good yesterday, we made another reservation for tonight! The food was absolutely top class, the service was friendly and quick, the restaurant was modern and comfortably furnished. The fish sandwiches “to go” are also absolutely delicious. If you're in the area, give it a try! We would love to come back!

Small and cozy. But when there's a lot going on, it quickly fills up. 😉

Fisch in Top Qualität, einfach, schmackhaft und bodenständig. Sehr netter und aufmerksamer Service. Uns hat es hier sehr gut gefallen und wir kommen gerne wieder !

Excellent cuisine and beautiful views of the water

Restaurant right by the water. Very nice and smiling staff. Salad with zander excellent.

Spontaneous visit, parking right next to the house - super friendly staff, the food was perfect, nice terrace with a view of the lake 👌🏻 Highly recommended !

Good small selection of food. Focus, of course, on fish. Great quality and very attentive service.

Reservations are recommended. The food is really great and the staff is very friendly. Always my pleasure

We only got 2 fish rolls “to go” here. One with Bismarck herring and one with herring. But they were fantastic! 😋👌 The best Bismarck roll I've ever eaten. Everything is totally fresh and the bread is crispy. It couldn't be better! Clear recommendation! 👍👍👍

Super lecker essen und das Personal war super freundlich. Extrawünsche waren überhaupt kein Problem. Alles in allem super nett und super lecker.

Great restaurant with a nice menu and very high quality food. The fish was terrific and the side dishes were really tasty. A great restaurant that is definitely worth a visit!

A meal was split between two people without any problems as we can't eat that much. It was still plenty and very tasty. We will definitely come back there.

Great food….great service….fantastic view

Food very tasty, ambience great, great view of the lake, staff very friendly

The friendly staff chose a good seat for us so that our mother in the wheelchair had enough freedom of movement. Of course, they also provided assistance when entering and leaving the restaurant. WE FELT WELCOME...THANK YOU THE food was well prepared and tasty. WE'LL LOVE TO COME BACK.

Stopped in while the snow was blowing and enjoyed a delicious hot fish soup. Great view of the lake

Der Fischtopf liegt in Rufnähe zum Hafen Bad Saarow. Leicht erhöht, so sieht man auf den See. Wir waren zwischen den Jahren zweimal im Fischtopf essen. Auch ohne Reservierung hatten wir beide Male einen schönen ruhigen 2-er-Tisch. Auch beide Male konnten wir den reizenden und zugewandten Service der beiden jungen Damen genießen. Man sitzt sehr schön, die Tischbeleuchtung ist warm und hell genug. Zum Essen, bei den beiden Besuchen hatten wir Matjes mit Bratkartoffeln, Salat und hauseigener Sauce. Dann den Pulpo auf Salat. Den Zander. Auch mit Salat. Hier bestellten wir ein paar Stücke Zander extra, die einen moderaten Aufpreis hatten. Alles war absolut frisch, sehr fein, auf den Punkt perfekt. Der Zander saftig und fest. Der Pulpo butterzart, trotzdem mit Biss. Der Matjes zartrosa und mit den leckeren Bratkartoffeln und der hauseigenen Sauce, Pardon, saulecker. Preislich alles korrekt und preiswert! Die Portionsgrößen auch mehr als ausreichend. Hätten wir noch einen Tag mehr in Bad Saarow verbracht, sicher wären wir dort wieder gelandet. Absolut empfehlenswert!! Wir werden dort sicher wieder essen!!!!

The fish is recommended. Fish sandwiches also taste very tasty.

We were there today and everything was as we imagined... delicious food, nice ambience and friendly service. A lovely evening all around...rather inconspicuous on the outside...but don't be fooled ;-)

We drank two mulled wines there to warm up. Really tasty and service was good.

Sehr leckeres Essen und klasse Service

Wahren gestern bei Euch essen und waren sehr zufrieden mit EURER Küche! DANKE DAFÜR

Super freundlich, super lecker, top Lage, gerne wieder! Liebe Grüße

Das Essen war sehr gut, können wir nur weiter empfehlen.

Essen war super. Kleine aber feine Karte. Super Alternative für Fleischessser.

Super freundlich und herzlich. Gericht ist hervorragend

Es war alles zu unserer vollkommnen Zufriedenheit, sehr aufmerksames Personal, exzellentes Essen, sehr passendes Geschirr, einfach alles bestens!

Ein gemütlicher und genussvoller Abend am Scharmützel See. Wir wurden im Fischtopf freundlich begrüßt und gut verköstigt. Es hat sich gelohnt, da wir unter der Woche hier eingekehrt sind war eine Reservierung nicht von Nöten. Die Speisen war schnell zubereitet und ansehnlich zubereitet. Wir kommen gerne wieder und bedanken uns für den tollen Abend und den herzlichen Empfang!!

Nach einigen vergeblichen Anläufen aus den letzten Jahren, haben wir endlich wieder hier im Fischtopf zu Abend gegessen. Das Ambiente hat sich toll entwickelt, gerade Innen ist es viel gemütlicher als vor Jahren. Das Essen auf den Punkt um nicht zu sagen unerwartet gut. Der Salat mit Zanderstreifen , so auf der Karte beschrieben , war für uns etwas tief gestapelt, es waren zwei auf den Punkt gebratene gut gewürzte Filets, die es auch heiß auf dem Salat zu uns geschafft haben. Preis-Leistung mehr als fair. Die Heringstrilogie war ebenfalls perfekt. Kleiner knackiger Beilagensalat super Bratkartoffeln haben den tollen Fisch begleitet. Also haltet den Kurs bei, so wie es ist, so ist es mehr als gut. Gern beim nächsten Besuch in Bad Saarow wieder.

Das Restaurant mit Blick auf den Scharmützelsee sieht einladend aus. Das Essen ist sehr lecker. Der selbstgemachte Apfelkuchen mit Pistazieneis sehr zu empfehlen. Die Kellner sind sehr nett und flott unterwegs. Die Tische werden nach jedem Gast gesäubert. Alles in allem kann ich 5 Sterne vergeben.
