Restaurant und Café Prinzeninsel in Plön

In short: the food was very good, the service was super friendly, cheerful, and accommodating. Celiac disease was no problem, and dogs were welcome. Due to the widespread staff shortage, there were only two employees serving, so you can't be in a hurry. Our server was so friendly and cheerful that it was a real pleasure. Dogs are also welcome. My daughter has celiac disease, and that wasn't a problem either. The staff were aware of the risk of contamination, and the dish served delicious herring with fried potatoes.

Very tasty, service very friendly. We walked there and took the boat back to Plön. It was a very nice experience.

A great place for a stroll. Very attentive and friendly service. I had the sauerfleisch (pork sauerfleisch): probably the best sauerfleisch I've ever eaten. Homemade remoulade sauce, excellent fried potatoes, and perfect sauerfleisch. My wife had the fried fish, which was perfect: homemade potato salad just like Grandma used to make, the aforementioned remoulade, and a fantastic breading around the fish. I'd gladly go back anytime!

Very friendly staff, great food. A bit more expensive than other restaurants, but you get good value for money. Highly recommended, we'd love to come back if we're ever in the area again. The hike to the restaurant is also great.

Really, really good food, a nice, quiet location, and quite busy... but the wait is worth it! Due to staff shortages, only one server and one chef were there today, but even that worked out. Friendly, agile, always nice, made recommendations, and provided really good service! Thanks to... just a minute, I have to wait for him and ask for his name... Bernhard :D

Truly amazing food. I haven't had such delicious food in a long time. It was top-notch, with a star rating.

We were strolling around Princes' Island again and wanted to have another Aperol in the café. Since the weather was wonderful, all the handful of tables were occupied, so we sat down in the restaurant. A visibly overwhelmed waitress was milling back and forth in a stressed manner. A young man at the counter was polishing glasses in a bored manner, and even though he had seen us, there was no menu and no order had been taken. Two other guests sat down with us, but they didn't get anything either. After 30 minutes, we left. And unfortunately, this wasn't the first time.

Good location, outside in good weather. Coffee and cake were great. I

Beautiful and as cozy as in the days of the Kaiser. Friendly staff and incredibly delicious, beautifully presented food, very fresh and high-quality. They even serve cakes at coffee time. 😋🤤🥰🍰🍨🫖☕🥗

Friendly and competent service, even though there was only one waiter on site. The venue is beautifully decorated, and the seating is comfortable. There were also a few cozy outdoor spots, but unfortunately, they were occupied. Right next door is a small playground where the children can have fun. There were also sheep and cows grazing nearby. We had a lovely time.

Everything was top-notch. The location, the service, the food. A Michelin-starred chef would be delighted to have someone like him in the kitchen. Try the salmon trout.

The food is divine! Mr. Ruhberg, the chef, has a background in fine dining, and you can taste it right away. The quality is top-notch, and all ingredients are sourced locally. The staff is so friendly and relaxed; it's simply a pleasure to be there. It quickly became clear that we wanted to get married here, and our 20 guests were superbly looked after. We are thrilled with this magical place and thank you so much.👍🏼💐🩵🧡💚🍀☀️

If visitors to Princes' Island were informed about the private party right at the parking lot, there wouldn't be any need to thank them for their understanding... Three trips with two people each on the bus to put up the signs, hmmmm

We were on the ship and were able to get off there to see Princes Island. As it was lunchtime we went to this small restaurant. Unfortunately there were only four tables outside and they were all occupied and we weren't served inside either. After a short time and a bit of a wait we were able to sit down with some of the other guests which was fine with the waiter. Friendly service and our order was taken quickly. Unfortunately we had to wait a long time for the food and as our ship wanted to pick us up on time we had to finish the food in 10 minutes. The food was quite good but unfortunately we couldn't enjoy it. Nevertheless I can recommend the small restaurant but you have to bring your time.

The reception and service were very friendly, the food was delicious, and the price was reasonable. The view of the lake was fantastic, too.

Friendly service, delicious food, local ingredients and dishes

Top food, top beer, very friendly service

The food was very tasty. I like it when restaurants have a smaller menu, but the food is of good quality and well prepared, as was the case here. The server was very attentive and friendly. All in all, highly recommended.

Super delicious food, Homemade cakes were also great. The service was super friendly and attentive. The tortellini were delicious, as was the farmer's breakfast. The seasonal pike dish was also delicious.

Great service team and great food

Cozy restaurant with delicious, home-baked cakes – always a pleasure.

It would be nice if there was a menu in the parking lot or in front of the restaurant!

The tables outside were all occupied and all the tables inside were free. The staff told all guests that there would be no service inside because there were too few staff. Unfortunately also in a very rude tone. So people had to leave again, even though there were free tables available. Pretty bad service.

We celebrated our wedding reception here. The preliminary conversation with the super nice young chef and the restaurant manager was great and uncomplicated. Everything was discussed and sounded wonderful. On the day of the celebration we were confronted with reality. On the way to Plön we should call so that the shuttle can set off to pick up the guests. Unfortunately, no one answered for 15 minutes. Unfortunately, when we got there there were no drinks for the guests for an hour, despite having ordered a reception. For the barbecue buffet, the barbecue was spontaneously rumbled by the guests, with the doors of the barbecue frame opening and dead flies falling out. Unfortunately, the food wasn't grilled well and the employees (it felt like they were just temporary workers for the day) were in a bad mood because of stress in the morning, as they explained. The service was bad. For drinks you had to line up at the counter and wait because the employee there was only there every now and then. Luckily our guests were in a great mood and saved the day. If it was just about the location, it would have been a huge failure.

Apparently, this restaurant doesn't feel the need to greet guests, nor does the staff even offer a friendly "hello" despite eye contact. It's a shame for such a beautiful setting that there's no nice place to enjoy this view.

We asked for 2 places via email because we wanted to have lunch there. Quick response came back.. we can come over until 6 p.m. Kitchen until 5 p.m. We then drove 30 km. And then everything on site was full and they had no more space. And then they were turned away. It's a shame. Then you don't have to ask by email.

I have known this place for about 50 years and have seen many changes. I have to say that Prinzeninsel is, without exaggeration, one of the most beautiful spots in Germany and the farmhouse is a beautifully maintained building. Coffee and cake were very good, the service was attentive. If you don't even take the walk through the beautiful lake landscape, it's your own fault. In summer you can also easily get here by ferry.

Very warm, friendly service and atmosphere in a restored farmhouse with a view of the beautiful landscape. The food is more than plentiful with large portions, very tasty, well seasoned and above all fresh and original, but with the touch of the region

We just wanted to stop in for a hot drink. It was well attended, but not full. After a few minutes of waiting, we ordered our drinks at the counter. A completely overwhelmed service person came by and apparently knew that we had already ordered at the counter, but nothing was brought to us. After 25 minutes we left.

We always come here to pick up a piece or two of chocolate cake😄. Rustic atmosphere, one young man is super friendly, thank you for that. Keep it up, you're great 👍🙂. This warmth and humanity is the most important thing these days.

The food (including "cabbage stew" according to the menu) turned out to be a thin soup with little cabbage. Drinks shown on the menu were not available afterwards. Since the young, friendly man in service had more than enough work to iron out the errors for his two older assistants, we were spared the direct complaint. The way it was presented, the café is not worth recommending, what a shame!

Wir haben hier unsere Hochzeit gefeiert und wurden schwer enttäuscht. Das Vorgespräch mit dem Geschäftsführer und dem Koch war sehr professionell und versprach uns einen wunderbaren Tag. Am Tag der Hochzeit hat uns die Realität die Hand geschüttelt und wir wurden vom Essen sowie vom Service schwer enttäuscht. Auf Nachfrage wie es zu diesem unorganisierten Service kam, haben wir von Frau Muhmann und der Geschäftsführung bis heute keine Antwort erhalten. Die stolze Rechnung haben Sie aber prompt verschickt...Nicht zu empfehlen.

Such a beautiful place......but unfortunately run carelessly......ready-made cake, long waiting time.....nothing more needs to be said.....a shame with so much potential

Cafe had blocked tables to provide good service to the guests present.

Very nice place to relax. Very friendly and nice service. The hot chocolate was to die for. Thank you.

War ganz nett nach einer Wanderung dorthin,für 2 Stück Kuchen und 2 Kaffee aber gleich 20,-€,passiert uns nicht wieder.

Very nice, service was very friendly. Again and again

Very friendly, polite service. Selected excellent menu. Adequate prices. High quality, tasteful menus. Thank you very much

No waiting time, the card was handed out quickly. The service staff was very friendly and the food and drinks were perfect.

We stopped here spontaneously on our hike. It is very comfortably furnished inside and there is plenty of space outside. We ordered something to drink and two desserts. The “Colorful Children’s Cup” for me and the “Piña Colada with a difference” for my wife. Both were excellent and special requests were implemented without any problems. Due to company, we had to wait longer (>30 minutes) for our ice cream, but we were offered two free drinks in conjunction with an apology. Very accommodating. Thanks again for that. You shouldn't attach any importance to the chaotic sounding noises from the kitchen (which rather amused us), as all the dishes that were carried past us looked very appealing. The team also makes a very friendly impression. If we end up in this corner again, we would be happy to come by again.

Great location, worth cycling. Recommended cake (raspberry cheesecake) very tasty. The service was very attentive and friendly. Would love to come back.

Ja, die Prinzeninsel - nicht weit, einmal quer durch den Park, vom Plöner Schloss entfernt. Letzteres ist jetzt übrigens die Fielmann Akademie. Aber egal - auf zur Insel. Letztere ist erst durch das absenken des Wasserspeigels entstanden. Zuvor handelte es sich um eine Halbinsel. Auch heute noch ist die Insel recht langgezogen, neben einer Badestelle mit DLRG Posten findet sich noch ein Anleger der Weißen Flotte und ein Wirtschaftsgut mit Gastronomie auf der Insel. Insgesamt lohnt ein Spaziergang, z.B. zum Lieblingsplatz der Kaiserin und zurück. Viel mehr hat die Insel dann aber leider auch nicht wirklich zu bieten... ist halt so!

Short drinks break on Princes' Island. Great ambience, wonderful landscape and very nice service round off our good impression.

Great as always. Very nice walk there. Maybe beforehand a visit to the castle gardening center

I was a guest at a wedding with around 110 guests, the atmosphere was very nice. The service is more than capable of improvement, too few staff that evening, not trained, no glasses were cleared later in the evening, the counter was poorly staffed, so you sometimes had to wait longer for your drink. The champagne reception discussed was not available and not all the dishes were there, even though the menu was discussed with the bride and groom. The food available was very tasty but unfortunately there was too little. After a short time the potatoes, among other things, were empty and could not be refilled. The times for meals could not be adhered to because the kitchen couldn't make it. The tent is already standing a bit, so it's already partly green from outside. An attempt was made to repair the sunshade with a bit of tap, but it was unsuccessful. The toilets were full of spiders and the trash can was already full when we arrived. I absolutely cannot recommend it for a wedding.

My daughter's wedding took place here and I can highly recommend not only the restaurant but also the entire atmosphere. The food and the staff were simply great. The celebration took place in the marquee, which was located directly on the lake. This is highly recommended for a celebration. The support from the crew has been excellent.

Really very nice with a view of the lake. Small but nice menu

The prices are high, there is no change, so you have to tip. For example, a small cola costs just under 4 EUR

Great, relaxed service staff. Food was very good. We had Caesar's salad and as adults (!) children's portions (chicken schnitzel, grilled sausages), which were more than plentiful and really good. We would love to come back here.

The food was royal, very well prepared, sufficient and absolutely delicious. 5 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Service, super nice, fast, a pleasant smile, even our dog was greeted very warmly and friendly. 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Ambiance, top 5🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

A very idyllic and lovingly furnished guesthouse. It was very cozy on the terrace in the late afternoon. The new menu reads excellently, unfortunately I was only hungry enough for a dessert but the semolina flammeri with tonka beans deserves at least 10 stars! The entire service team was friendly, quick and attentive. We'll definitely come back more hungry ;)

We sat in the garden and ate a little something. Afterwards coffee and cake. The waitresses were very friendly, competent and didn't get upset even by the large group with children. The location is very nice, and it's definitely worth taking a look at the restaurant.

I have to say yes, I haven't seen such a dirty lady in a long time!!! Everything is dirty.. from the dishes, napkins and I don't think the location has been cleaned for years! The lamps in the aißenbwrwich are so dirty and the beach chairs are full of spiders and cobwebs... baaaahhh... if I have a location like that and spend a lot of money for weddings, then I have to regularly clean the white roof of the tents... and then the broken parasols with them Tape was attempted to repair!! sad and I'll never go there again!!

Unfortunately I have to agree with the bad reviews. My attempts to place an order were consistently ignored this afternoon. My third attempt to order ended with the waitress replying that he was about to cough. My intervention to take the order first was reluctantly followed. My comment that I had shown enough patience by waiting half an hour was answered with the comment that you could tell. As a last resort, I decided not to place an order. A nice restaurant with an ignorant team. A pity !

Very nice restaurant/cafe, friendly service, very good cake.

Nice staff and great food. Many thanks to the chef 👍

After a 40-minute walk, we reached the restaurant at 6 p.m. Although their website states that they are open until 7 p.m., when we asked to order something to eat, we were told that they were just closing. Our request if we could at least get something to drink was rejected, even though there were still a few guests on the terrace champagne sat. Customer friendliness definitely looks different. This way you won't get any recommendations. 👎

The cake was obviously frozen and still cold. Not acceptable for a restaurant that calls itself, among other things, a “café”.

Super nice service. Very accommodating and quick.

We weren't served. 1. Question to the waiter: whether we were allowed to put a table in the shade (there were 4 people over the age of 60 and 2 dogs), he shrugged his shoulders and wanted to inquire whether we were allowed to do this, unfortunately we got it no answer, even though he walked past us several times. So we sat down at table 101 in the blazing sun after a long walk. We weren't noticed there either. We then got a menu ourselves. After waiting again: I went into the main building and asked this waiter again if he could take our order, he said someone would come. After 20 minutes, no waiter had come to our table, so the next guest in the main building asked and got the same answer. We continued to be ignored. So now another waiter at the next table was cashing in, we asked again if we could place an order. His answer: We are not being served because we complained!!!! We were stunned by such behavior, arrogance, service. I can't express this in words because, at 63 years old, I've never experienced anything like it. We went and will not recommend this restaurant.

The service is overwhelmed, there were only problems from the start, things also went wrong at the next tables, we will never visit this restaurant again 🤷‍♂️

Very nice hospitality and great food. Had the salad with chicken. Banger!

Very friendly service, asparagus to the point (with bite), gladly again

Beautifully located restaurant at the tip of Princes' Island. The food was good, the staff friendly. Only, it was quite full and the staff was completely understaffed for a sunny Pentecost Sunday. This resulted in longer waiting times.

You pay for the location. If you love cake and coffee, you shouldn't go here. No milk alternatives available.

Nice service. You can sit outside very nicely. Food is delicious, points are deducted for the small selection.

We had reserved and it wasn't full at all, despite the nice weather. We then sat inside and waited 20 minutes for a card, which only came when requested, even though we were sitting in the passage and staff were constantly walking past us and looking. Later the card was not cleared. We were told minutes later that there is no double aquavit. Not double grain either. No alternative was suggested. There were no beer mats with the drinks. We joked with the couple at the next table about the bad service, because they ordered their pot of coffee as they walked in, but only got it after 30 minutes. Of the six main courses, one was not complete, but we were only told that later... So three pasta without prawns, one tartare. Then ten minutes later someone came and asked whether we, four people, had really only ordered three dishes. So the order was repeated again. The spaghetti arrabiata wasn't spicy but OK. We had to request the parmesan cheese that came with it twice. Paying went quite quickly. As I was leaving, I spent several minutes wondering why I had to watch two guys in the restaurant garden with their bare chests... I still understand why they're sitting there like that, but why doesn't the staff say anything about it? So an average of 25 euros per person is too much for this level of chip shop.

The restaurant was highly recommended to us because 2 people recently attended a wedding there. Ate dishes with asparagus, potatoes and fish as well as asparagus cream soup. The potatoes and fried potatoes were only lukewarm. The soup with the dumplings had a too thick consistency and 6 people had the feeling that the soup had been warmed up in the microwave. And at 2 p.m. no Hollandaise sauce with the asparagus, that's not so nice either. My husband himself is a chef: OT: we still have to work on it. The staff was very nice and friendly. The view is very nice, but as far as the food is concerned we were very disappointed. Sorry, but I don't have to drive 1 hour to you and spend so much money. This can be done better.

Simply bad, we had to wait three quarters of an hour for our food, it didn't taste good either I only give one star because you can't give zero

I came over spontaneously and alone Since I wasn't planning on stopping anywhere, my outfit looked accordingly, I showed up in a tracksuit and sneakers. Nevertheless, I was greeted and served extremely friendly and respectfully by the service staff. The ambience is nicely decorated, “quaint” but not old. There are historical pictures and some decorations hanging on the wall. The flowers and the flower water were fresh, the glasses were polished and the Pinot Gris that I ordered was very good. The music playing in the restaurant consisted mostly of pop classics, which stayed pleasantly in the background. The menu reads very well, although I think it is a bit large and you could easily delete at least two main courses and starters. The food doesn't have to hide, the "two kinds of fish" that I ordered was good, could use a pinch more salt, but there are cruets on the tables for that. The fish was well cooked and not dry, the consistency of the sweet potato puree and sauce was as it should be and the peas had a pleasant bite and were nice and green, only a little butter would have made them better. However, the criticism of the food is complaining at a high level. I paid €46 for a main course, a dessert, a small bottle of water, 0.25l of wine and an espresso, which is a good price-performance ratio these days. You can't expect star-studded gastronomy here, but you don't want that here either. The picture is very consistent and I got exactly what I hoped for. If it's the same during the season (I came over in mid-April), Definitely recommended

Very nice restaurant, with an outdoor terrace. Good card. Price-performance ratio okay.

It's always a lovely stopover for a relaxing walk across Princes' Island

We haven't been there for several years and are now very positively surprised: very nice, cozy restaurant with good food and friendly, attentive service. We'll be back soon!

Very attentive restaurant management, very good service and freshly cooked food. We will be back!

Very friendly reception. Wonderful food. Thank you

Beautifully located restaurant on Prinzeninsel at the end of the planetary path, which begins near the center of Plön and ends here with Neptune. Coffee and cake were very good, although the cake was a bit sparse. In summer it is certainly very nice outside by the lake or in the pavilion.

We came for lunch after a walk with four adults, strollers and two large and one small dogs. The staff was super friendly, very attentive and totally relaxed with the dogs. All dishes were very tasty and beautifully presented. Highly recommended and we will definitely come back from Hamburg to visit in the summer

Top cake, top service. The walk out to Princes' Island is always worth it.

Very nicely located. We used it on a bike ride for lunch. It was cold outside, nice and warm inside. Very good service and large, good tasting portions.

We had the apple punch with amaretto, an insider tip that is very worth it! Large and varied selection of cakes.

A very tastefully and comfortably furnished restaurant. The staff very friendly and relaxed. We'll definitely be back.

At first I was very excited because I found the place very cozy and nice. However, I got very disappointed by the burger I ordered. It was disgusting! Even now that I think about it I get disgusted!

One of the most beautifully located restaurants on the corner

We have been going to Plön several times a year for more than 40 years: a trip to Princes' Island is always part of it. We have seen many tenants come and go over the years. But since Preußens took over management itself, service, performance and offerings have improved greatly. The team is always helpful, committed and takes a lot of time for their guests. We look forward to your next visit!

Sehr schön gelegenes Lokal und sehr leckeres ansprechende Gerichte! Sehr gern wieder.

Alles in Allem leckeres Essen und sehr schönes Ambiente :-) Das bestellen und bezahlen hat leider sehr lange gedauert, obwohl es nicht voll war.

Eigentlich super gelegener Location… Essen war leider durchschnitt und das Personal nicht so aufmerksam! Trotzdem lohnt es sich dort eine Rast zu machen

Essen köstlich, Service super, Atmosphäre top 👌🏼😋

Gemütliches Restaurant mit wunderschönem Außenbereich . Gute Auswahl an Kuchen

Dir Lage auf der Prinzeninsel ist wirklich schön und auch das Gebäude macht durchaus etwas her. Wir waren zum Kaffeetrinken da, und der Kuchen hat uns absolut nicht überzeugt. Der Birnenstreusel war durchweicht und matschig, der Schoko-Kirschkuchen hat überhaupt nicht nach Schokolade geschmeckt. Der Service wirkte teils überfordert, wir mussten mehrmals auf uns aufmerksam machen, um zu bestellen und zu zahlen, obwohl alle um uns herum bereits bedient wurden, die nach uns gekommen waren.

Super leckere Torten! Wirklich zu empfehlen 5 Sterne. Und dazu noch eine tolle Umgebung.

Sehr empfehlenswert. Sehr tolles Personal und Angebot. Also alles bestens.

Es stapeln sich die Teller und Tassen auf den Tischen. Kein Service. Kuchen lecker.

Habe dort nur etwas getrunken, freundliches Personal, schöne Lokation.

Die Öffnungszeiten haben uns sehr enttäuscht.

Heute mal Sonne nach dem gestrigen Regen. Wir befürchteten schon keine Platz zu bekommen. Aber es gab ein schönen Tisch unter dem Sonnenschirm. Der freundliche Ober empfahl auch das Buffet. Das war perfekt, Suppe, Salate, Antipasti, warme leckere Speisen und noch Dessert zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Das können wir unbedingt empfehlen. Ein wirklich romantisches Lokal 😊

Sehr gemütlich und sehr nett, immer wieder sehr gerne!!

Hier ist es auch super, trotz Regen konnten wir draußen sitzen,etwas trinken und dasschöneAmbientegenießen. Ganz liebes freundliches Personal. Schöne Gebäude, große Kuchen-Auswahl.

Sehr schön dort, nettes Personal und Hammer Pommes. Der Kuchen sehr frisch und saftig. Sehr zu Empfehlen 🌞🌞🤗

Wir haben hier beim Paddeln einen kleinen Kuchenstopp eingelegt und fanden es sehr nett. Gemütliches Hof-Ambiente und lecker Kuchen.
