Restaurant „Strandkate“ in Zingst

We went there for dinner because of the good reviews and ended up leaving with mixed feelings. The staff was super friendly, the atmosphere was great, the food was so-so, or good (depending on what you order!). The salad🥗 with the fish fillet was delicious and surprisingly topped with a decent amount of fish👍🏻. There were supposed to be two portions left of the daily special "Chicken Gyro," but when the plate arrived, it felt like only half a portion😕 and wasn't really a hit, as was the currywurst. The sandwich, on the other hand, was decent and tasted good. So depending on what you order, you can be lucky or unlucky. Drink prices are pretty steep.

We've been coming to Zingst for over ten years. We happened upon the Strandkate on our first visit, and we've been coming back at least once per stay ever since. A cozy atmosphere, very friendly, attentive staff, and excellent food. The fried potatoes and the Strandkate Remo are especially delicious; you should definitely try them!

The Strandkate is absolutely worth a visit! The portions are large and truly delicious—you'll definitely leave feeling full and satisfied. It's no wonder the place is so popular and busy—if you want a seat, you'll have to be quick or expect to wait a bit. But the wait is definitely worth it! Friendly service and a relaxed atmosphere.

Highly recommended Excellent food, service, and ambiance

Very friendly staff with good, home-style food 👍 I can only recommend it.

The food there is average. I had tagliatelle with garlic and chili, which was overcooked and really only got its flavor from the chilies. Nothing special.

Delicious food and nice atmosphere

We visited the Strandkate again on May 31, 2025. We tried almost all the tables there, even the small one by the entrance on the left or outside. Last time, we got the table in front of the bar. Despite two minor accidents, the Strandkate team managed to get out of trouble; special thanks go to the manager behind the bar. The food was excellent, the service friendly and prompt; this wasn't the last time we'll be there for dinner. My conclusion: if you haven't been there yet, you've missed out.

We ate here twice in the last few days, once with a reservation and once spontaneously. With a party of eight, we weren't turned away, and even though almost every table was taken, we were seated very courteously with a short wait. The food was delicious, the service very friendly, and the seating in the beach hut is comfortable. Many thanks to the entire team!

A must on every vacation. Always delicious, lovingly prepared, friendly staff, and absolutely reasonable prices.

Very friendly service and the food is delicious.

At the beginning of May, sitting outside in the beautiful sunshine in a beach chair, enjoying a delicious plate of herring and a cold pilsner – wonderful. Plus, very attentive service and clean restrooms. Thank you, and we'll be back :-)

We visited the restaurant on Easter Sunday, and despite being fully booked, the staff was extremely attentive and friendly. The food was excellent – ​​both in terms of taste and portion size. We were completely satisfied and would love to return!

Great menu – really friendly staff – cozy and lovely. Centrally located

We weren't disappointed, there's nothing to add to the reviews, really great food.

Strandkate Zingst – Reliable quality and a sweet highlight The Strandkate has stood for consistently good quality of its dishes for years. Guests can choose to sit in the two outdoor areas or in the spacious interior - this time we secured a comfortable spot in the beach chair. The menu offers the typical Baltic Sea mix of fish and meat dishes, but the taste is more refined than in many other restaurants in the area. There is also a regularly changing daily menu with additional offers. A special highlight in the afternoon is the Sturmsack – an impressive cream puff filled with two scoops of ice cream and cream, accompanied by hot fruit. So generous that it's easily enough for two. What completes the experience is the friendly and attentive service. You really feel welcome here as a guest. Conclusion: The Strandkate remains a permanent address for us - for years and in the future!

There is heart and soul involved here. Best restaurant in all of Zingst in my opinion. Mega delicious food, very friendly service and the food really can't be beat. It's fun to get full here. Been here several times after discovery :). Thank you very much for the great experience.

Wir hatten reserviert. Leider haben wir uns verspätet; den Fußweg haben wir falsch eingeschätzt. Dennoch, den Tisch haben wir bekommen. Sofort fiel uns die umfangreiche Fischkarte auf. Der Fisch war frisch. Großartig und das Bier schmeckte dazu. Beim nächsten Mal gerne wieder. Hier sind tolle Menschen für uns beschäftigt.

If you are looking for a restaurant with a high standard, you have come to the right place! The staff is very nice and friendly. You can sit comfortably outside and inside. When it gets cold, the outside area is heated. There is a great selection of food here. Everyone will find what they are looking for. The taste more than convinced us!!!! Wow, just a fantastic meal!!!! From the tartar sauce to the salad dressing, everything is homemade here and impresses with its taste, freshness and great portions!! Thanks to the kitchen and all the hard-working helpers who made our last evening such an experience.

Here you can eat really good and tasty fish. The portions are very well sized. Very friendly staff. We recommend visiting during the week as tables fill up quickly on weekends. The fish solyanka is highly recommended, super tasty

Very nice restaurant. We were able to sit outside. Plaice and fish platter very tasty and also hot. Service is simply great, friendly advice. We also had “demanding” guests at the next table. They were also more than patiently advised and served. Highly recommended. A plus star

The garlic soup with salmon is brilliant, the corn plaice is a poem, the fried potatoes are just as they should be. The employees are motivated and nice, but something must have gone wrong with the pan or some device, as I did have a strong allergic reaction (gluten). Sometimes the devil is in the details... 😐

This restaurant is highly recommended. Friendly and quick service. The food was excellent and deliciously prepared. We had fried potatoes with fried herring and herring.

We stopped here spontaneously for a coffee break. Delicious coffee with milk and a crispy waffle on the terrace. Great service. So we immediately reserved a table for the evening. Very tasty fish dishes and a rustic atmosphere. Gladly again and again.

The food was very, very tasty, the asparagus was perfect. We were immediately offered a chair for our baby. I was in the dining room, everything was so clean and tidy, you almost never see that in other restaurants. The edges and corners under the tables, everything was really clean, it still fascinates me. For many people it is only about quick processing and no longer about quality. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. I was greeted warmly and shown to the toilet, which was great. Small but nice. I'll be back!

Our visit after a long day of hiking and adventure in Zingst was rounded off with a wonderful evening in the Strandkate. The food here is simply wonderful, and it comes to the table incredibly quickly despite being at full capacity. The staff is very careful, friendly and really very accommodating. Nobody seemed stressed in any way and that surprised me a lot because there were always new guests at the door looking for a table or picking up their orders. I have never experienced children in a restaurant being given a few pencils and a small coloring book to pass the already short waiting time. Unfortunately, at some point I had to give in to the fish platter and have the rest packed up; it was so rich that I just couldn't manage it and far too tasty to leave it there. ;) Many thanks to the service and kitchen at Strandkate, we were able to end our last evening in Zingst tasty and very comfortably cared for. <3

Frisch And Burg are super delicious. I feel so lucky that I found the restaurant.

First there was a commitment to the table, then not. Unfriendly moved into the entrance with 2 children. Went straight back out, very unfriendly staff. Too bad, won't come back.

Großartiges Essen, freundliche Bedienung. Definitiv zu Empfehlen. Wir haben sogar recht kurzfristig für 6 Personen einen Tisch bekommen.

The service was very friendly, it was the best fish restaurant here so far. I can recommend it to everyone, the fish and the portions are worth the price.

The food was delicious and the girls were very friendly. Any time.

Beautiful cane-roofed house, interior ambience to feel good. Excellent food, very friendly waitresses.

Very good food. Cozy restaurant, very nice beer garden. Service very courteous and friendly. We'll definitely come back.

We spontaneously went to eat with you and were able to sit outside in the sun. We were served friendly and quickly and, above all, we had delicious food. Pike with pasta and tomato sauce and cod in breading with mashed potatoes. Both simply incredibly delicious. Absolute recommendation.

Great service, friendly. Delicious dishes.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Always happy 😊

What was that? A superb team, fast service, and absolutely unbeatable food 😍 and the atmosphere is fantastic...cozy and maritime, which is perfect for a place like Zingst. Thank goodness we only live 40 minutes away, so we'll definitely be stopping by more often 🥰

We made a last-minute reservation at the Strandkate by phone for two people and a dog. It worked out perfectly. When we arrived, we were greeted by a very friendly waitress and shown to our table. We ordered two Rostocker and two Baltic herring plates (fried herring, matjes, Bismarck herring, and fried potatoes). The food arrived super quickly and was absolutely delicious. The restaurant is decorated with great care; we felt very comfortable and will definitely be back.

Here you can enjoy wonderful fish in a rustic setting. And the staff are super friendly. Thank you so much.

We had a really pleasant experience in this restaurant. The food was nothing outstanding, above average but not a culinary highlight (made for the masses). But that's nothing bad and for that reason it shouldn't be judged as bad. But what is really OUTSTANDING is the service. When you enter the restaurant you are greeted in a friendly manner and smiled at, and the cards are quickly brought to you. When ordering and serving, always have a smile on your face and a friendly saying. The colleagues themselves also joke with each other and seem to get along well. This atmosphere is very pleasant for them. Speaking of atmosphere, the restaurant itself is very cozy and looks a bit like an old fisherman's house. The ceilings are low, with open beams. The light is pleasantly warm, the temperature is perfect. All in all, this restaurant convinced us and since we are in Zingst more often, this will not be our last visit. The service in this restaurant is what particularly impressed us and we can only recommend it: 5/5 stars

Price performance is right, staff very friendly and accommodating and the food was very tasty. Our dog was also allowed to come with us without any problems. We will definitely come back again.

Mega!!! Deserved 5 stars very, very tasty, totally friendly and super organized We are already looking forward to the next time 😉

Not hype, but really very good. Everything in the kitchen is fresh and delicious. Service prompt and friendly. This is how gastronomy works!

Totally friendly service. Food is very good home cooking at really good prices. What. Do you want more?

One of the best restaurants in Zingst. Very nice interior design. Very polite staff. I hope that I can get a place with my family again in the summer.

Always great to come here. The food and service are simply great.

This was the second time. The food was again really tasty. The fish 🐟 here is the juiciest in all of Zingst. We'll be back!!! Service and ambience are great.

We love the Baltic Sea and regional fish dishes. Here you can get your culinary fix in a cozy atmosphere and friendly service. We were 2 adults with a 10 year old child. As a starter we had a pot of shrimp. Then the tagliatelle with salmon for the child and the fish platter for my husband and I. To finish, we shared the crème brûlèe with cinnamon plums and vanilla ice cream. It was all a culinary delight. The shrimp were super tasty. The fish was perfectly fried, the fried potatoes were crispy and well seasoned. The dressing for the salad was very fresh and light. Unfortunately we didn't manage to finish everything as the portions were very generous. The waiting time was very short. The price for everything, including various drinks, is of course not that low, but it's worth it if you value quality. Making a reservation wasn't a problem and we got a very comfortable table in the back for our large dog (giant schnauzer).

Wir hatten aufgrund der positiven Bewertungen hier reserviert. Der Service und das Ambiente haben überzeugt- das Essen leider nicht. Die Bedienung war ausgesprochen freundlich und zügig, auch bereits bei der Reservierung am Telefon, das muss unbedingt erwähnt werden. Der Umfang der Karte ist nicht besonders groß, deswegen waren unsere Erwartungen an die Küche hoch. Der Seehecht mit Risotto war fad, hier wurde wie auch an allen anderen Gerichten mit Gewürzen und Kräutern sparsam gearbeitet. Das Risotto leider „pampig und pappig“, entweder zu lange gegart oder aufgewärmt. Der Kabeljau mit Bratkartoffeln und Gurkensalat ebenso geschmacklos - was wirklich schade war, denn angerichtet war alles sehr schön und mit frischen Kräutern garniert. Als Vorspeise gab es Bruschetta, die war geschmacklich gut, aber es sollte unbedingt anderes Brot verwendet werden- die Brötchen passen nicht, sind auch nicht authentisch und waren zu weich. Das ofenfrische Ciabatta wäre perfekt dafür! Dieses wurde mit „hausgemachter Aioli“ serviert. Die Aioli schmeckte eher säuerlich und die Konsistenz war nicht homogen - genau wie eine industriell hergestellte. Die Kindergerichte waren gut. Die Preise in Ordnung. Insgesamt hat die Strandkate Charme.

The Strandkate is a very quaint, cozy restaurant, with nice and friendly staff. I can only recommend the very tasty food. There is a selection of dishes with fish and also without fish. So there is something for everyone. The portions are large, so that “man” gets full.

From the starter to the dessert, everything is delicious. Fish lovers get perfectly cooked fish and the plates are more than adequately filled. Salads, soups, schnitzels... everything is always perfect and consistent. The service staff is top... the girls see everything and react to everything, they always keep an eye on the guests and provide great service. We are big fans of the location :)

Sehr angenehme Atmosphäre. Nette etwas unterkühlte Bedienung und wirklich gutes Essen. Alles sehr gut gemacht und schmackhaft. Die Preise sind für die Qualität absolut in Ordnung. Wir können das Restaurant guten Gewissens weiterempfehlen. Wer nach Zingst reist, sollte mal in der Strandkate vorbeischauen.

Highly recommended. Cozy restaurant, very courteous service and delicious, homemade tartar sauce. ... and the dessert... delicious!!!

Yes, definitely, if you missed that, you missed Zingst. We are already looking forward to the next summer holiday on Fischland - Darß and a visit to the Strandkate.

Everything perfect...gladly again

Very tasty, this time we got a place outside in the heated tent. The service was very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Repeat offender because the food and service are simply super good

Highly recommended restaurant. Extensive menu with super tasty dishes. Everything freshly prepared. The service staff friendly and nice.

Our highlight restaurant in Zingst. Everything is right there. Ambiance, service and great fish at reasonable prices. Three couples of us went to a different restaurant every evening for a week. Strandkate was the best of them for the fish eaters. But our two meat lovers were also very, very satisfied. Reservation essential.

Nice little cute restaurant Food was super tasty (big compliments to the chef) Service very friendly We can only recommend this restaurant

Very, very tasty, would love to come back 👍

We had dinner in the “Strandkate”. Due to high demand, we were only able to reserve a table in the tent. Despite the fan heater it was very uncomfortable. Our food did not live up to the very good stars already awarded here. In comparison and ratio (price/performance and ambience inside) to other restaurants in Zingst, you can only give 3 stars here. The food tasted good. But it wasn't that way to particularly emphasize it. My salad with 3 fried goat cheese balls as a main course was simply not priced appropriately at €17. 3 stars 🌟 🌟 🌟

There were 10 of us and everyone was absolutely thrilled. Very friendly service despite being extremely stressful. High quality and very nicely prepared food. Top time management. It doesn't get any better. We were happy to give a good tip here. We'd love to come back.

Super nice staff served us very tasty food. Generous portions. Always friendly despite stress and a full house. We were very satisfied - absolute recommendation! Reservation necessary.

Wow, price/performance and service perfect! The food is beautifully presented and tastes simply great. Reservation essential! We'll be back!

There were five of us (3 adults, 2 small children) eating. The service was very attentive and there was a little activity for the children. There are four dishes on the children's menu and there is something for both sweet and savory tastes. The food came to the table quite quickly - as there wasn't much going on at that early point in the evening. The empty plates spoke for themselves - it was very, very tasty.

It couldn't be more perfect! Super friendly staff, incredibly fast service and a real taste. An ambience that is hard to beat. Every possible variation and change in the dish or side dishes is served without any problem! Simply fantastic!!! Thanks for the culinary delight

Super nice and beautifully decorated restaurant with very attentive service and great food! We had the schnitzel! Thank you very much and see you soon!

Super cozy restaurant in the heart of Zingst. Everything tasted excellent, great service at a very good price-performance ratio. We'd love to come back.

We've been eating there for years when we're in Zingst. Service and food is always perfect. It couldn't be better. The price-performance ratio is also great! Unfortunately, there are always guests who have bad behavior and take their bad mood out on the staff. Sad. I'm glad that you exist and I look forward to seeing you and your good food every time I'm in Zingst.

Very cozy. The food was super tasty. We had half duck with red cabbage and potato dumplings. It was a very successful evening. A big thank you to the team.

What can you say, top food, top service, top facilities We'd love to come back! Top address for someone who wants to eat good and tasty!,,

A highly recommended restaurant. All of the dishes at our table were delicious and the service was very friendly. All around a great restaurant.

Nice restaurant. The staff was a bit overwhelmed because the restaurant was full, but the rest was really good. Delicious!

Best fish solyanka, great ambience, very nice staff..... always recommended

Sind in jedem Urlaub hier und wurden noch nie enttäuscht. Sehr lecker und kompetentes, freundliches Personal. Preis -Leistung ist sehr gut. Immer wieder gerne

Ich war mit meiner Begleitung an einem Sonntagabend in dieser gemütlich eingerichteten Kneipe. Die Speiseauswahl ist begrenzt - aber besser so und frisch zubereitet, als würde das Essen aus der Mikrowelle kommen. Die Ente war knusprig, das Rotkohl würzig. Meine Begleitung hatte eine ebenfalls schmackhafte Hähnchenbrust mit aromatischem Ziegenkäse. Ein gelungener Abend!

Once again we were pampered by the Strandkate staff at a family celebration and it was once again very tasty and very plentiful, thank you very much.

On Wednesday a table for 5 people was verifiably reserved with 2 witnesses to the conversation. Today [Friday] I was immediately turned away in an unfriendly manner and no reservation had been entered. No attempt to reach an agreement, just unfriendly answers that it's not her problem and there's nothing she can do now. It's a shame, especially because it was very difficult to find something to eat somewhere with 5 people

Service, food, quality can only be recommended, always happy. We look forward to our next visit with you. LG

Recommended restaurant in Zingst. Something that fits there and is appealing.

Reservierung unbedingt erforderlich, schon ein gutes Omen. Gemütliches Lokal, Spezialität heute: Ente 1/4 oder 1/2 erhältlich, Klöße, Rotkohl und leckere Soße. Bedienung kompetent und nett= wir sind sehr zufrieden.

Very nice, cozy restaurant with very good food. The price is also completely reasonable, despite the holiday resort and the Baltic Sea👌. Dogs are also allowed.

Very cozy, it's worth eating there, it's rare to find everything that fits there these days. Service was very nice and the food tasted good 👍

Very cozy and rustic furnishings. The waitresses are very friendly and care about the well-being of their guests, both young and old.

We had lunch in the “Strandkate” on the first day of our short vacation. Even though it was pretty busy, we got a table without waiting. The ambience is very nice and invites you to linger. The service was very friendly and to the point. No mistakes when ordering (7 people) and our daughter was very lovingly occupied with painting supplies. There is also nothing wrong with the food here. I had the fish platter myself, which was plentiful and very tasty. The other dishes were also very tasty and attractively prepared. All in all a very nice restaurant with excellent food which can only be recommended. We'll come back when we get the chance.

Wir waren heute in Zingst in der Strandkate, hatten allerdings vorbestellt (gute Entscheidung), da im November in Zingst noch viel los ist und das Restaurant relativ schnell gut besucht war, natürlich nicht ohne Grund! Wir hatten ein tolles Erlebnis! Das Essen war wirklich sehr gelungen und schön angerichtet , (Hochachtung an den Koch!) und der Service war auch super. Vielen lieben Dank dafür.

Very tasty food, friendly service

A wonderful restaurant with very good food and very friendly staff! It's always well attended! It's worth the wait because the food is worth it! Very friendly and quick service, which has become a rarity in many other dining establishments! Big praise for the kitchen and the service! We are always happy to be with you! Thank you!!!

Small but nice. Many restaurants in Zingst offer good regional food. There are also friendly and helpful staff here. Unfortunately, in Zingst it is almost an exception; all means of payment are accepted and dogs are welcome.

It was a wonderful evening. Starting with great service, excellent food and rounded off with even better value for money. We would love to come back and look forward to our next visit.

Nice service, delicious food, pleasant atmosphere.

The second time I've eaten here. Once again very tasty. Thank you very much

It was full, which was to be expected and not a problem for me as there was still free seating outside. There was a lot of space because it was raining. I like to sit outside as long as it's reasonably dry. I chose a place in the beach chair. Probably the cat table, but it was completely okay. It would have been nice if there had been a heater there too. But it was bearable. I ate the dish of the day. It was very, very good and completely okay in terms of price and size. I was already very often in Zingst, but never in the Strandkate. Now it will definitely be more often. Service was quick, friendly and attentive. See you next time in August.

I ordered the cheesecake ice cream. Super tasty. A scoop of vanilla ice cream, a scoop of cheesecake ice cream, apple compote, sprinkles and vanilla sauce. I would order again.

I was your guest this week. Unfortunately there was no free space available inside. A reservation for a later date in the following days was strictly rejected by your staff. Unfortunately, this is not appropriate customer service for me. Therefore I cannot give your house a better rating.

If I could, I would give 0 points. We ate at the restaurant on Monday. Because it was very crowded, we took a seat in the garden. The next day we wanted to book seats for the evening after next. We were denied that. Apparently everything is already booked and then the soup festival is coming up. Today we took a chance and wanted to have dinner in the restaurant. There were several tables available, but we were again turned away and were allowed to sit in the garden. I don't know what selection criteria the guests are allowed in. Two single women apparently bring in too little sales. I cannot recommend the restaurant under any circumstances. (although the food was tasty) That's not how you treat guests. But it doesn't seem necessary.

The food was very tasty, the atmosphere was great, there was always something to discover somewhere, the staff were very friendly

A must in Zingst The best duck dish is there. Were there with 6 people and everyone was thrilled.

A highly recommended restaurant that is unfortunately rarely found on the Baltic Sea coast. All the dishes at our table were very tasty and also inexpensive. Particularly noteworthy is the very friendly and attentive service. All in all, a type of restaurant that we would like to see more of.
