Restaurant Waldhäuschen in Karlshagen

It is a rustic interior design that had to be adopted. A lot has already been improved outside. For me, the most important thing when going out to eat is service and of course, first and foremost, the food. And I think the young chef doesn't have to hide from any star chef. Plus the super friendly host. He is truly a host. You feel comfortable there. And I prefer not to write about the price/performance ratio. This can only turn out negatively for me. Either I have to pay more or it's almost impossible to get a table. Until now it was an insider tip.

Unfortunately we only went to this wonderful little restaurant twice for dinner. The landlord was super friendly. I ate a large baked trout there twice and was thrilled with the taste. The portions were far too big for us, so I left out the potatoes and just had them with a salad. My wife had eaten a huge schnitzel, but unfortunately couldn't finish it. The prices were the toughest. Where else can you get such tasty food today for so little money? We can warmly recommend the restaurant. It's better to reserve.

Update 2024: Still very tasty food and friendly staff. The innkeeper always has a casual saying. :-) We visited the restaurant on our Baltic Sea trip based on the previous good reviews. With a reservation it worked the next day, as it is always very fully booked and is a small restaurant. The service is very friendly, open-minded and the food is top and really homemade. That's why we came here a second time. A real ***** insider tip!

Today we were in the forest cottage for the first time. It was great. Very nice, good food, good value for money. We would love to come back. We wish you a nice company holiday and a great vacation. Thank you 👍

We were here at the beginning of October and had reserved a table. But since we were already curious beforehand, we managed to get a table outside twice beforehand. The food was great and actually deserves 6 stars. 😜 The boss is funny and charming and we felt very comfortable there. The portions were really big and we will definitely be back. But be sure to reserve in advance, as the price/performance ratio is unbeatable... 🥰🤪✌️ You guys are great...

What can you say, I haven't eaten so well in a long time. The schnitzel and the fish were to die for and the service was simply brilliant. And the size of the food was great. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for everything.

Small, quaint, tasty and very accommodating! We'd love to come back!

We decided to go to Essen at the end of our vacation in Karlshagen and came across the Waldhäuschen restaurant because of the many positive reviews. It's a nice, cozy and small restaurant. Reservation is absolutely necessary, especially if you want your four-legged friend to come with you. Yesterday we ordered a table for 4 people and a dog in the first round. The Kellern always had a nice saying at hand, which created a good atmosphere in the restaurant. 😉 The food was super delicious 😋 and the plates were prepared with a lot of love. Kudos to the chef. The price-performance ratio is also right. I can highly recommend this restaurant. We will definitely visit the Waldhäuschen again if we end up in Karlshagen again.

The restaurant is very small and there are only a few tables. It was good that we made reservations beforehand. Some guests asked during the evening and were told off for another day. The food came quickly and was very tasty. The fries were terrific. The service was friendly. However, the humor seemed a bit forced.

Went to this restaurant on a recommendation, unfortunately only on the last day of our vacation. The food was absolutely great, very, very tasty, large portions and special requests were also fulfilled. We felt like welcome guests. Thank you for the lovely evening. Keep it up!!!!

Staff very friendly, small menu, food very rich.

We were in Karlshagen for the third time. After we didn't make a reservation last time and unfortunately didn't get a place, we made a reservation this time and were so excited that we made a reservation for this holiday a second time. It's been a long time since I've had such a good meal outside, very nice boss, great food and very cozy. We will definitely come back on our next Usedom vacation. Unfortunately, 5 stars is the end of it, otherwise I would give more. Many greetings to the team at the Waldhäuschen!!!Keep it up

Very nice little restaurant. Delicious food at a good price/performance ratio.

Absolutely recommended... Everything just fits together... friendly conversation, great food, everything was great! Thanks...

Really great little owner-run restaurant. Super nice boss with a very friendly, uncomplicated approach. Food tasted fantastic. It's great that restaurants like this still exist!

Went there today with the family, it was very, very tasty. Definitely highly recommended but definitely order in advance and take cash with you (no card payment possible). The service was also great. Gladly again

Beautiful, tasty and good value for money!

Full marks for each category. Keep it up 👍

The food was very tasty. The employee was super friendly and always had a quick saying. We were lucky to get a spot on the terrace. In this restaurant, advance reservation is highly advisable. Definitely coming back.

Great food, nice waiter. Little insider tip.

Had a spontaneous meal there today, October 2nd, 2024. Service was very friendly and funny :) The atmosphere was very inviting and the food was simply delicious! :D

The cod was great, as was the wine. Prices like everywhere else here. The waiter is a source of inexhaustible happiness 😊. During the season you won't be able to go here without pre-ordering as everything is quite small. We sat outside, it was ok.

So inconspicuous from the outside - but so stunning from the inside!!! 🤩👌🏻🧡 An absolute insider tip! The food was fantastic - the service even more so! Tip: Reserve your space in good time, you rarely get a spot here spontaneously - no surprise there! 😉 👍🏻 Thanks to the super relaxed, funny and quick-witted boss, who - by the way - serves himself and spreads a great atmosphere! Thanks! 🫶🏼

Highly recommended. The taste is excellent and the friendliness with which you are greeted is simply great. We'll be back. Thanks so much.

A real insider tip! We had the pleasure of enjoying fish that was cooked to perfection. The quality of the food was outstanding and it tasted fantastic. The innkeeper was extremely friendly and attentive - a really great guy who made us feel welcome. The restaurant is definitely an insider tip that you have to recommend. We were particularly impressed by the excellent price-performance ratio, which is rarely found in this form. We'll definitely be back!

We were on vacation in Karlshagen and spent our last evening eating in the Waldhäuschen. Too bad it was the last evening. The food was very good, the service was very good. If we had known this sooner, we would have stopped there more often. Maybe on your next vacation. For the future, keep it up and stay healthy!

It couldn't be better - here the guests are pampered with joy and happiness!

The Waldhäuschen is one of our favorite restaurants. We are always welcomed very friendly and accommodating, and the food is always very tasty! We can absolutely recommend a visit, but it's best to reserve in advance!

We were lucky and got a seat, it was a bit windy but you can dress against it. The food was really great. We haven't eaten it so well for a long time. We would be happy to come back and recommend this steak au four

Very good cuisine, very friendly, great price/performance. We'll be back.

We have been to this small but nice restaurant several times. At the end of our vacation we were there again today. As always, it was a culinary experience, not to mention the always friendly and courteous staff. It's very hard to find anything like this these days. Every visit is worth it, but advance booking is recommended. Please continue at this level, you are great. We'll come back next year. Kind regards. The Renner family from Dresden

We noticed the forest house by chance and were able to pre-order a table relatively quickly. We received a very friendly welcome at the agreed time and from then on it was a great evening: great ambience, delicious food and an attentive boss who did the service at the front with fun and charm as well as a relaxed saying 😂. In short, a meal that you would like to have in this combination, but unfortunately only rarely experienced. Thank you for this lovely evening ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 👍! If you would like to enjoy this meal there, you should definitely book a table in advance! Best regards Thomas and Heike

It was an experience, the host was absolutely nice and the food was a dream... definitely visit and feast... five out of five stars

Completely satisfied again on the second visit. The food was delicious, the service was quick and there was always a charming saying on your lips, a small but nice restaurant. Recommendation!!!

The Waldschenke - small, on the edge of the forest, space for only a few guests. That's why you should reserve in good time! The fact that the store is so fully booked is not just because there are few spaces. But also the quality of the food. Here we cook with love and the aim of giving the guest a feeling of appreciation. The food is really, really good! The schnitzel is phenomenal, as are the fried potatoes. The salad is not a run-of-the-mill salad but is prepared with care and love. There is also a delicious vainigrette! The service is warm, extremely friendly and in a good mood. The man who brings the schnitzels to the table is just super nice and funny! Anyone who hasn't been to Waldhäuschen has clearly missed something in Karlshagen. Namely something extremely nice and delicious!!! Be sure to stop by. It's definitely worth it!

A very nice old / rustic restaurant, service was very good, small selection of the menu, but something for everyone. Fresh fish, freshly prepared food. Definitely worth imagining, very good price/performance ratio. Will be a highlight of every holiday. I had the trout, very crispy, great as a fish dinner, I left some left over for the waiter🤣 he thought it was funny. Ang. Had steak and fried fish, everyone was very satisfied. The journey from the Ore Mountains was worth it. Service very relaxed and funny. Every wish will be fulfilled.

Absolutely recommended, an insider tip in town. Although inconspicuous, but great value for money. The service is very good and the staff is very personable and always has a quick saying on their lips. Highly recommended!

The service and food were very good. We'd love to come back! The beetroot carpaccio is highly recommended! 😍

Absolutely nothing to complain about! Friendly service, large portions and really tasty food. Be sure to reserve in advance. We'll definitely be back👍

Authentic and high quality restaurant After we were frustrated with overpriced and poor quality in the surrounding restaurant, we were more than compensated at the Waldhäuschen. I don't even know where to start... The restaurant is run by a young couple. He in the service, she in the kitchen. Super authentic, funny, relaxed and just likeable. The meal was a pure culinary delight. We enjoyed talking to Danilo, the owner, about the food offered and used. Everything is fresh, regional and of first class quality - and you can TASTE it. Price-performance ratio is tip-top. Clear recommendation - be sure to make your reservation in good time 😉. Be sure to keep it up!!!

We ate in the forest cottage during our vacation. The owner was very nice and relaxed, the food was on the table quickly and very tasty! Absolutely recommended. In terms of price it was also completely okay. But it's better to have a reservation, otherwise it's a matter of luck whether you get space.

Very good and rich food (the schnitzel was "forbidden big" with friendly service and a quiet atmosphere. Thank you

Very tasty cuisine and nice service. Always happy again. Really highly recommended

Top food, top staff always happy. Best restaurant in Karlshagen. So book a seat and enjoy

We went there on August 6th, 2024 and can only confirm the good opinions of other visitors. Choosing the dishes probably took longer than preparing them 😂 the menu is small but very clear and still has something for every taste. And the price is actually almost too cheap for the quality and size of the portions. In short, very tasty, highly recommended 👍👍👍 and be sure to reserve in advance. Would love to come back. Kind regards from Berlin

We ate here several times at the end of July/beginning of August. The food is very, very tasty. Highly recommended is the wild mushroom soup with pierogies and, if they are available on the menu, the beef ribs and wild boar brawn. You have to enjoy something so delicate. The innkeeper always has a funny saying up his sleeve. The dining room is small, but very comfortable. The outdoor terrace also invites you to linger. That's why you have to make a reservation.

As good as their reputation!!! Be sure to reserve!

The food was delicious, the staff were very accommodating, friendly and available for a little chat. Always my pleasure! 👍🏻

The food is very good and the portions are generous. But it's worth a visit with a reservation.

We are thrilled and will definitely come back. The food is really very tasty.

Very nice welcome.Very tasty food.Nice ambience we will be back.As always, world class

Very tasty freshly cooked food. We had schnitzel and the vegetarian pierogi are also highly recommended. Nice and friendly service, you'll be happy to come back here.

We were there for dinner. Important, be sure to reserve in good time. During the holiday season it is difficult to spontaneously find a place for several people. Two of us were lucky, but we were there right away when it opened. There is no card payment, which is well signposted so you won't be surprised. If necessary, there is a savings bank around the corner. We got there on foot, otherwise there are parking spaces on the main street and two in front of the door. You sit outside on the street, but it was very quiet. The service is super friendly and always has a nice saying to say. Our meal took a total of an hour with starter and main course, which was great time as there were several guests there. Food was very tasty and inexpensive, I would have paid a euro more ;) We can only recommend it and will definitely come back :)

The three of us had dinner in the Waldhäuschen today. Super nice service and delicious food. Can only be recommended, gladly again. You should reserve in good time!

For the second time on this holiday here for dinner and for the second time excellent. Great hosts, great restaurant and highly recommend the starter of beetroot carpaccio Thank you for the two lovely evenings and see you next year!

I can only confirm the positive reviews. The food is very tasty, plentiful and the service is top. We went to the restaurant spontaneously and were just lucky that something was available.

Nice host, very tasty food, definitely make a reservation, we felt very comfortable. We had steak au four and cod fillet with fried potatoes and salad. Highly recommended 😋

Proper people and solid food. Everything relaxed and not overpriced. You can do that. And when a small restaurant like this grows and grows, there must be something good about it. And even if you have to reserve at least a week in advance, then there must be something good about it. Keep it up!

The food is very tasty 😋, we can only recommend it. Call ahead and reserve as it is always full.

Today we spontaneously got a place for the two of us with a dog. The service was very friendly and had a pleasant sense of humor. We followed the recommendation of the day when eating. The fish soup and the wild boar brawn were really worth it, and the well-known dishes are also highly recommended. Would love to come back.

Great food, we were a group of eleven people, everything was absolutely delicious, and especially the Thuringian Rostbrätel was great. Very funny and nice service. This will immediately become a must-visit on holiday every year. For and the best we have eaten in years.

On our last day of vacation in Karlshagen we wanted to go out for a nice meal with our son. We noticed the small restaurant the day before, but it's not immediately visible. So we decided that we would go out for dinner there at the end. When we arrived, the owner greeted us in a friendly manner, unfortunately everything was reserved but he told us that we should come back in half an hour. When we arrived back at the restaurant after a half-hour walk through the city, we were warmly welcomed a second time and there was a table available for us. So it's better to reserve!!! The food was simply delicious, I ate one of my best schnitzels, you can tell straight away that the food is freshly prepared. You can only guarantee something like this if you don't start piling up the guests, then you can maintain this quality. All the Greek or Italian restaurants don't do that, there is always space there but you can tell by the quality of the food and the quick, impersonal processing. In the forest cottage you are a guest, holidaymaker and friend. If we could we would give ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️! CLEAR RECOMMENDATION!!! ‼️ We'll be back‼️ ⚓️WE SAY THANK YOU

Can be described in a few words. Simply delicious. Very friendly service

Here again, delicious food and friendly innkeeper

I got the best fried potatoes there and a very large, delicious schnitzel. The landlord is very friendly and attentive and we look forward to our next visit.

Beautiful restaurant, the food is sensational, a dream so to speak, everyone would be completely satisfied. Thank you very much for that, the next table has already been reserved

Incredibly delicious, the fried potatoes are crispy and the schnitzel is a dream. Service is refreshing. You should reserve in advance. We will be back. Thanks! 🙏

First you have to highlight the service and the ambience. The owner himself is a great guy. Super friendly, knowledgeable in his field and always up for a laugh. The service works smoothly and promptly. Now the negative part: Unfortunately I decided on the Tühringer Rostbrätel. The taste of the meat was slightly strange. I didn't think anything of it and ate it with my sister. The rude awakening came during the night. The entire meal came back out with the side dish. The next day didn't get any better. Since we could barely stand, we immediately went to a doctor with the help of a friend. He diagnosed us with food poisoning. It's a shame because we always enjoyed visiting the store. Unfortunately, after we telephoned the owner, there were no suggestions for compensation. We don't expect anything big but an apology should have come. Unfortunately, a few regulars missed him. Too bad.

We found this great restaurant on the day we arrived in Karlshagen via Google Maps because we were spontaneously hungry in the evening. A quick call, which was a good thing, because they were actually reserved, but the really nice host said, just come by, we'll squeeze you in somewhere. The food tastes really good, the service is first class and the prices are really fair. The seasoned meat is particularly recommended. My husband and I like to eat a lot and we eat out very often, but nowhere has the spiced meat been better than here 🙂 (and we have eaten it in many restaurants 🤣🙈). A reservation ideally 1 to 2 days in advance is strongly recommended, especially during the high season. We crowned our holiday again today with another visit here and can say that it wasn't a coincidence recently, everything seems to be delicious here, and as already mentioned, the funny and relaxed, nice innkeeper rounds off the overall picture well and takes care of everything for well-being across the board 🙂👍. Needless to say, we will definitely come back (next year 🥺), we love Usedom, Karlshagen and have found our favorite restaurant here 👍🥳 Update 2024: We were here again today, and this time again it was an absolute dream!

A great restaurant with an excellent range of food. Can only be recommended. And the influx of guests is large, you should book seats in advance.

Delicious food, authentic innkeeper. We had a variety of dishes, all of which are recommended. Baked fish, trout, game goulash, herring and roast meat. Fried potatoes are also very tasty. Note, be sure to pre-order!

It's always surprising how committed and positive the host is and how convincing he is. Today it was sensational again for the palate and soul. Thanks for that.

Great restaurant, the photos that other guests have posted are not glossed over, the portions are really like that. There's nothing to complain about. Quite delicious. The only thing that makes sense is to reserve a table in advance.

We were at the Waldhäuschen for dinner on May 1st. Since we were with a dog (a very dog-friendly restaurant, by the way), I had reserved the table by phone before our vacation (you should definitely do that). Very nice little restaurant, very nice decor, perfect and friendly service (the boss), his very nice wife is the cook. We had pierogi as a starter and schnitzel and cod fillet as main courses, everything was very, very tasty and really nicely presented, big compliments to the cook! :-) Since we liked it so much, we made reservations again for May 6th, together with 2 friends and it was perfect again. Price/performance absolutely perfect! For us, the Waldhäuschen was by far the best restaurant in Karlshagen. Keep it up!

Super tasty. Very nice staff. We can only recommend it. We'd love to come back

Food super delicious made with a lot of love. Large portion where everyone gets enough. Service very friendly The atmosphere in the forest cottage is always inviting and cozy. A successful evening with family, perfect end to your birthday!

The reservation of the table was problem-free and charming. The welcome was very friendly, the service was great and the food was delicious. I think it's the best restaurant in town! I would like to come eat again, but only next year... I wish you a great season :)

Went there on a recommendation and haven't regretted it for a minute. Super nice boss, super delicious food, I can only agree with the other reviews, I was thrilled. Keep it up and wish Thomas and Kerstin (from Schwerin) and Sonja from (Karlshagen) all the best❤️

We are always happy to come to you. Food is unbeatably good.

Top taste and quality. Small restaurant with friendly service.

Rarely experienced such a great restaurant!!! Beautifully comfortably furnished, the food, there are no words for it, it's amazing, the service is just great and every wish is fulfilled. Simply perfect!!! I would eat there every day;) Please please just keep it up !!!!

Very cool…. Waiter funny and on the ball 😂 Food delicious and atmosphere very cozy 5 out of 5

Very small cozy restaurant (6 tables) Food is really, really good. We would love to come back. Reservations are highly recommended due to the number of tables.

It was really very very tasty. Super nice service and very child-friendly despite the stroller, we found space. We were really excited 😊

We ate in this beautiful small but very fine restaurant about 2 weeks ago! We were so excited about the whole thing, whether it was the food or the service or everything around it, just PERFECT! Thank you very much and we will definitely come back when we visit from Thuringia again Kind regards, Haase family

Very nice little restaurant with perfect, friendly service that makes you feel at home. We enjoyed the food very much. As a tip, call ahead to reserve, which is what we did. We'll definitely be back, thank you very much

Very good food. Price/performance and the ambience is right. We were guests over Easter, a reservation makes sense.

Quaint, friendly, nice, clear map.

We were lucky today and managed to get the last available spot without registering. The service is great and super friendly and the food was sensational. The price-performance ratio is great. We can highly recommend the Waldhäuschen and would be happy to come back.

Excellent! Rarely have I not eaten so well! Cod was super juicy, the roast meat was tender, the salad was very creamy, and the fried potatoes were perfect. Rice pudding also tasted like grandma's. Service top! Absolute recommendation! Thanks and see you next time!

Insider tip, small, fine restaurant, very good food, prices very moderate, recommended at any time

Really a great and delicious surprise!!! The reservation (recommended) by telephone was uncomplicated and we were even called back!!! The landlord was extremely friendly and customer-oriented, the food was really tasty and at a fair price! They make an effort here and are happy to come back as guests! Good to know: Dogs are allowed, subject to prior agreement when making the reservation :)

Very quaint restaurant. Friendly staff. Short waiting time from ordering to bringing the food.

Great little restaurant on a side street, very friendly owner, small, fine menu, the food was lovingly prepared and very tasty!! It's worth a visit, reservations recommended!

Simply great. very nice and highly recommended. Thanks, see you soon

We are thrilled every year and would love to come back! This time it was also extremely tasty and friendly👌! Always a pleasure !

Let me put it this way. Haven't eaten so well in a long time. The characters here are not enough to describe the taste experience and the hospitality. Looking forward to next week.

Beautiful little restaurant with a very nice landlord who always has a funny saying. Very good food that leaves nothing to be desired.

Were there again today. The food was great. We would love to come back. Star chef ?? Thanks for the great service

Everything was wonderful, highly recommended. 😘👍
