Samoa Restaurant Timmendorf in Timmendorfer Strand

We have been to Samoa several times. The food was always of excellent quality, the service was courteous, attentive and friendly and the furnishings were cozy and high-quality. We always enjoy coming here.

Super delicious food in a great atmosphere. The service is super friendly. We would love to come back 👍

The very last!!! We have tel. ordered a table, provided the telephone number and looked forward to a lovely evening... The person on the phone didn't really understand me and spoke very broken German... When we arrived at the restaurant we were informed that there was no reservation... The young receptionist asked a colleague (branch manager?, greasy to no end...) if he could help us - the defiant answer was no, only at the counter, or not at all... Friends, keep your eyes open when choosing a career!!! We have been regular customers at Aalkate on Fehmarn for years and were so happy last year that Timmendorf finally got such a nice and good restaurant, the food was great... After just one year you have already shown such arrogance that I will hate ever visiting the other restaurants again... Too bad...

Great service and very good food and it was really tasty and warm, we'll be happy to come back

Great place, good prices, excellent service, incredibly tasty and beautifully served 💞💞💞best place on the entire beach line

Delicious food, ambitiously priced.

Simply incredible! It was so good that we had to go a second time on our short vacation. Keep it up!

Very nice restaurant with great food! The culinary highlight of our stay! Everything was incredibly tasty, prepared to perfection and highly recommended. Wine at a perfect temperature, cocktails delicious! We'll be back!!!

Great food, fast and nice service.

Congratulations to the owner! Service and food couldn't be better.

A chic restaurant with a view of the kitchen and very tasty food. We received very friendly and courteous service and ate there comfortably

Great food, great drinks, nice ambience, very attentive service and for me some of the tastiest sushi I've ever eaten. Top! We'll be back!!

Were there at lunchtime, everything was super good, the food was fantastic

We went to Samoa for lunch. The service was very attentive and friendly. The food (redfish fillet & duck breast) were very tasty. We would love to come back.

I can't say anything about the food, because after initially making a reservation there, our group decided to go back because the offer didn't exactly suit us. That was a bit 'kindergarten' on our part - admittedly. We were very impressed by the female service. Hence the review for her! Absolutely professional reaction: She tried to please us regarding special requests and presented various suggestions. When it was clear that we wanted to leave, she was able to wish us a nice evening without any undertone. I was very impressed by the handling and advise the owners to keep this colleague at all costs!!!

The food was super tasty, sushi was simply delicious. Definitely worth 5 out of 5 stars. I would love to go there every day on vacation. The service was quick, competent and very friendly. There's really nothing wrong with it. For me it was perfect. The sanitary facilities are worth a visit-:) Rarely have we seen such clean and well-maintained toilets in the restaurants in Timmendorf.

We had dinner there yesterday with 4 people and it was a very nice experience. From the greeting to the farewell, it was a very successful evening. Ordered various starters and main courses and everything was really successful. The Samoa is an enrichment for the gastronomy in Tdf.Strand and we will definitely come back. Thank you again for a great evening and see you soon....

That was just super delicious! We had a great seat....great service....the food was simply great....all in all a great start to the day in Timmendorfer Strand

The restaurant was more than convincing in all areas. Great quality and special dishes in a nice atmosphere. When we're in the area we'll definitely only eat here. Keep it up!

In my opinion one of the best on Timmendorfer Strand. The quality is at a very high level!

An excellent, modern restaurant at the end of the tourist mile. Great crossover interpretation of cod with passion fruit saffron sauce and wakame. A poem of flavors. Service good, but a bit cold. Gladly again.

Simply wow! Anyone visiting Timmendorf must stop at Samoa at least once. You immediately feel comfortable. The service is super friendly. The food is super fresh and delicious. We were there spontaneously on Wednesday and we liked it so much that we visited again on Thursday. Thank you for a great time and a great meal 🫶🏻

We spent a wonderful evening as a foursome. All the dishes were delicious and well prepared. We tried sushi beforehand ❤️ that is highly recommended. Great courteous and polite staff. We would love to come back and are looking forward to it

We enjoyed a wonderful lunch at Samoa today, it was super good food, a great team, our waiter Ron was very attentive. Price-performance ratio fits. Would love to come back. Ilona Fuhrhop

The Samoa Restaurant is in a top central location. The atmosphere is very modern and furnished with attention to detail. The outdoor terrace invites you to enjoy and linger with its comfortable seating. The dishes are visually beautifully presented and always of the highest quality. The staff is always attentive and very friendly and deserves a 1 with a star***** from me. The online table reservation tool is user-friendly. I also think it's great that lunch is served every day 4 p.m. there. Keep it up!!

We celebrated a birthday at Samoa and were absolutely thrilled! The food was excellent. The service was friendly, attentive and made the evening special. It was noticeable that everyone in the team made a great effort to ensure that the guests had a pleasant stay. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. We will definitely come back – absolute recommendation!

To be honest, I find it difficult to understand how so many positive reviews came about. Zoodels with chicken: The zucchini noodles seemed bland, the chicken was dry. Price: just under 30 euros. Bouillabaisse: Hardly any fish, plus a sticky baguette. Price: also just under 30 euros. The prices are disproportionate to the quality and taste of the dishes. In addition, the service was disappointing: the waiter was unfriendly and seemed annoyed. We definitely won't be coming back.

Ambience great, my food was delicious, Unfortunately, my friend's birthday dinner was a failure, her food was inedible! She is a vegetarian and ordered zuchinni spaghetti €21, which was inedible due to too much garlic. She then ordered something else, a vegetable pan. Still we had to pay for the food that was returned! €21 for the cook's mistake. Impossible! Mistakes can happen, we were also friendly when complaining. But that!!! No go. Better to eat somewhere else than be a vegetarian!

I ordered zoodles (zucchini spaghetti) (€21). The dish looked really good, but was inedible! , because of an incredible amount of garlic which was so dominant that all other flavors were masked. I just tried it and had to return it, almost untouched, as it was definitely not edible. Unfortunately, you also heard the loud and negative comments from the waitress and kitchen staff when the dish was returned (there wasn't much going on). This was very unpleasant. I wanted to have something else instead (I was really nice when I complained about the dish). I then ordered a vegetable pan. (€23) There isn't much choice for vegetarians. 😕 I still had to pay for the zoodles, which I wasn't told when I ordered the new dish. I come from the catering industry myself. Something like that is an absolute no go!!!!! Everyone can make mistakes, it's only human. But that was just cheeky and outrageous. A total of €43 for some warm vegetables. Take your hard earned money somewhere else!! Shame on you, Samoa team!!!

Stylish restaurant with good surf & turf offerings. However, we ordered pasta. Salmon and Gorgonzola are not recommended. A very large portion of pasta, both sauces were very watery and not flavorful. The Aglio & Olio, on the other hand, tasted very good. Service was ok, but we found it very artificial.

We visited the Samoa on a weekend in January. The reservation was made online on the same day, but you probably have to plan longer in the high season because the restaurant is a highlight in Timmendorf. The service was very friendly and extremely attentive; questions and recommendations could be answered quickly and with charm. The quality of the food was incredibly good, we ordered the Surf&Turf with king prawns and tagliatelle aglio e olio. The taste and portion are excellent, the only drawback is the price, which is definitely in the higher category. The ambience has a maritime feel, high quality with beautiful pictures and subtle background music. All in all a great experience, fantastic food, incredibly good service, we would love to come back!

We are often there and in our opinion it is by far the best restaurant in Timmendorf! Food, service, ambience at its best. Thank you for the great evening.

Full marks! The restaurant is beautiful as soon as you enter. The whole thing is rounded off by a really great, friendly and courteous service. And if you think it can't get any better, you haven't tried his food yet. We had the cod fillet and the beef fillet. Both were absolutely on point! We were both absolutely thrilled! For dessert there was a chocolate cake and crème brûlèe. Best cream we have ever tasted! It was an absolutely fantastic dinner. We'll see each other again on the last day of vacation because there's no better way to end the vacation!

As a starter we ordered a small selection of sushi. These were fresh and very tasty prepared. For the main course we each ordered half a duck and a cheeseburger for our child. The duck was very juicy and cooked perfectly, the side dishes just as good. Our son's cheeseburger also looked very tasty and was very large for a children's burger. The service was always very attentive and helped us a lot, especially with the sushi selection.

Very nice location and friendly service. Unfortunately, the lunch menu cannot keep up here. We had three different dishes, all of which were convenience food of the worse kind. It's a shame, we had hoped for more here.

The truffle pasta almost made me cry, it was so delicious

Everything was very harmonious, starting with the nice reception, the very friendly service and the really appealing ambience. You immediately feel comfortable. We were completely impressed by the food, both in terms of taste and presentation of the dishes. We ate from the lunch menu, which was valid until 4 p.m., and the price-performance ratio was very good.

Great, delicious food, nice, cozy restaurant, nice service, just great

Very nice restaurant with good food and very good staff

The Samoa restaurant is almost at the end of the business mile. Modern furnishings and a cozy atmosphere. The reception at the entrance was friendly and welcoming. Very nice and friendly staff. Menu with great sushi and large fish selection. There are also dishes on the menu for vegetarians. The dishes are delicious and beautifully presented. Price/line is reasonable. There is a large outdoor seating area for the summer season. From some seats you have a good view of the open kitchen and can watch the food being prepared. A table reservation is definitely recommended, as the restaurant is always busy, even in the off-season.

Visually and organoleptically an example of very good cuisine. The very pleasant service was the icing on the cake.

Restaurant opened about a year ago, menu was very appealing, the restaurant is cozy and warm. The service was polite and courteous, special requests were implemented, even without major extra costs. We would be happy to come back and recommend the restaurant to others.

Great restaurant with very friendly and North German service. Large portions, just without a starter. Currently no sushi on Mondays and Tuesdays (low season). Otherwise it's better to reserve a table. We had a very nice evening there.

Super tasty, in a great atmosphere

Starter sugary, main course ok, wine unbearable (we didn't order wine either).

Very, very chic restaurant with friendly staff. The possible view through a large pane of glass into the beautiful kitchen is absolutely extravagant and great. There you can enjoy watching the friendly kitchen staff conjure up a delicious meal. The food looks and tastes simply great.

Very tasty sushi, a great service person who looked after us so kindly and competently, and a nice atmosphere - what more could you want?!

A relatively new location in Timmendorfer Strand. Very well done. We ate very good sushi.

We were here for lunch. The fish curry and rockfish were delicious. We received great service and will definitely be back.

Yesterday I went out to dinner with my wife for my birthday. The ambience was great, the service was very friendly and attentive, but the food was simply a dream! I ordered a surf and turf dish and it was great. The beef fillet mignon was cooked perfectly medium, the king prawn was really huge and tasty. The combination of the sauces was also to die for. We will definitely be visiting again soon – 1000 percent! A big thank you to the entire team – great chefs, great staff, a top location. Absolutely recommended! 🫶

The restaurant impressed with very good, tasty cuisine, which made every visit a pleasure. The ambience is excellently coordinated and rounds off the experience perfectly. Highly recommended...

We were there with three people and reserved a table for 8 p.m. When we arrived there was no table available. We were seated at the bar and because we had to wait a little longer, we were given a Prosecco - which we thought was very nice. Once at the table we placed our orders. Among other things, two sushi rolls with the request that they be given without cucumbers. One came without cucumber, the other with cucumber. We complained about one roll and the waiter said he would replace it, it would take about 5-10 minutes (the mood in his face clearly visible). It took longer. My husband and I had meanwhile finished eating when our daughter received her sushi roll. My husband ordered another roll (without cucumber) for himself and our daughter to share. (When we placed our order, we asked if we could reorder Suhsi as needed - of course, no problem! - the waiter said (that's 8:30 p.m.)). The sushi roll was served, but again with (!) cucumber. We complained about the role again. Then they said that the roll would be taken off the bill, but there would be nothing left to eat. The kitchen closes at 9 p.m.! We then wished the kitchen a nice evening, ordered the bill, drank our bottle of wine and left the restaurant, partly hungry, and we refused the hot drink as compensation. We have never experienced anything like this before! If reservations are accepted at 8pm, I think the kitchen should be open later. By the way, our table next door received their food shortly after the waiter said that the kitchen was closed. When serving at the neighboring table, the waiter placed the empty water bottles, dip bowls, etc. from the neighboring table on our table, in front of our daughter's seat. Not so nice when the table is used as a storage area.

Our first time in Samoa. Very friendly service, attentive and very pleasant. The food was prepared table by table with fresh ingredients, even with a direct view of the kitchen. Great, clean work. A little more expensive, but still totally worth it. We leave here today with very good impressions and will definitely come back. Absolutely recommended. A varied menu that creates very tasty food with committed and experimental people. Big praise and see you soon...

Really great new restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand. The food was great and the staff was friendly 👍

A stay in Timmendorf and the inspection of the new pier whetted our appetite for more. Since my wife and I already knew Samoa on Fehmarn, we wanted to convince ourselves of the Timmendorfer version. The Samoa Timmendorf completely convinced us. The beautiful building with a very attractive exterior and interior invites you to linger. We were warmly welcomed by a service employee. The seating is very comfortable. The interior is modern and warm/comfortable. We ordered a 200g beef fillet with fried potatoes, sauce and green asparagus. Also ox cheeks with sauce and roots on mashed potatoes. The food was prepared absolutely perfectly. The ox cheeks melted in the mouth and the fillet was exactly as desired. Overall, both dishes were very attractively prepared. The size of both portions were just right for us. Full of enjoyment. A big compliment to the chefs who know their craft and to the lovely service staff. The stay was really nice and we will 100% come back. I would happily recommend this restaurant. It is one of the best addresses in Timmendorf because the quality and quantity are right. Thank you very much and see you soon. Christian and Michaela

Food is of poor quality. I had a chicken teriyaki bowl, the salad was wilted, the pineapple and avocado were already brown and overripe. My husband had the plaice. This was extremely greasy. The service was ok. Others who came after us got their food before us. We would not visit this restaurant again and certainly not recommend it. The good reviews are incomprehensible to us.

We were totally thrilled, the young service was extremely friendly and unobtrusively attentive. The kitchen was completely convincing. Price/performance more than reasonable. We have reserved again and are already looking forward to it. Keep it up. Absolute recommendation and an asset to Timmendorfer Strand.

Very tasty food, nice service. 🤩

We had lunch there twice as a family while on vacation and both times were very good.

We ate very well and received excellent service. Gladly again.

Very nice restaurant.. A great selection of dishes.. the staff was very friendly and attentive.. the atmosphere was great.. A highlight was the open/large window pane to the kitchen.. the kitchen waved to my son from afar

We had dinner there on Friday, 3 adults and 2 small children. So we had a little bit of everything from the menu and I have to say that the food was really good. The service was very, very good, rarely experienced anything like that. We'll be back ! :-)

We enjoyed a great dinner. Food, drinks and service were great. We'd love to come back.

A recommendation for anyone who is at Timmendorfer Strand.

Great restaurant. Highly priced but worth the price. Nice, uncomplicated but attentive service. Wines were offered to try, the dog was allowed to lie under the table and was treated kindly, even if he nagged briefly or sat in the way in a somewhat awkward manner. Goat cheese starter, sushi and duck, everything was well prepared and very attractively presented. Drinks at the perfect temperature.

Very good service, really tasty food. Everything fine.

That was really nice. The service staff was excellent. The food was good. Great atmosphere outside.

We ate at Samoa twice. Both the classic fish dishes and the sushi platters were excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We felt very comfortable all around and would love to come back.

Very delicious food, beautifully presented on the plate! Friendly service and advice on food and drinks are of course also offered. There are also very delicious cocktails and a beautiful terrace that allows you to dine outside with small flames in the glass, even in October.

Great service, interesting menu, great atmosphere! Highly recommended!

We were served very kindly by Grille, my raw broccoli was immediately exchanged. The food was very tasty and I really like the menu. I know the restaurant great even before the renovation that has now been done here. Turned out very nice. We'll be back.

Insanely delicious food, you want to try everything on the menu. 100% recommended.

Delicious. We had the sushi platter and the salmon steak. Plus dessert, which we would definitely recommend to everyone.

The food was delicious and the service was excellent!

Great food 😃 great ambience and very good service

Great decor, very large portions for lunch. The service was super attentive, humorous and I had the feeling that she did her job with a lot of joy. I would eat here again at any time.

Since the Sea Lord was converted into a Samoa, we always wanted to stop by. Now we regret that this only happened today. We both had the duck breast and a dessert and are just thrilled. We eat out regularly but have never eaten such good duck outside. The food was fantastic and the staff were attentive and service-oriented. The prices are high, but absolutely justified for this quality and the exceptional taste. We reserved another table straight away and will certainly be regular guests now.

The food was really sooooo delicious. The waiter was also very nice ☝️😋

After failing once when reserving a table shortly after the opening, we have now tried it several times and it worked brilliantly. Those were definitely initial difficulties at the beginning. The food is very tasty and good, the service is very attentive and friendly. We will definitely come back.

The fish we ordered did not meet expectations. The second dish was poorly seasoned. No recommendation from us.

The food was excellent – ​​perfectly prepared and served with great attention to detail. The ambience is incredibly inviting and stylish, you immediately feel at home. Particularly noteworthy is the friendly staff, who made the day perfect with their attentive and courteous manner. We'll definitely be back!"

This is our 12th time in Timmendorf and we never ate in the old restaurant. Today we were drawn there and we are totally thrilled. Great service, great food and a great atmosphere. Everything done right!!!!

Great food, nice service. Ate fish and were very satisfied. But the menu is very varied. There are sushi, fish and meat dishes and also vegetarian dishes (in addition to salad).

Very high quality cuisine, the food was first class and worth every €. Service very good, we would like to come back 👍

Although sushi is offered on the menu, you cannot order it at lunchtime. The veal liver specified in the menu is not available on Mondays. The wine ordered will only be served after warning. The espresso ordered after the admittedly decent bowl doesn't come at all. Conclusion: Disappointed couple leaves the restaurant.

Ambience very modern and chic and beautifully located, with a large outdoor area. Service attentive, quick and quite friendly. Unfortunately, the food wasn't entirely convincing: the portions were a bit small (for lunch), fish dishes were okay, but the children's burger was unfortunately not recommended according to several opinions. It can happen, but you can still eat well there and there is still a recommendation.

Delicious food, professional service and modern ambience. Gladly again.

Super great atmosphere with a great and friendly staff, thank you Grille for your recommendations and great hospitality. Anja, thanks for the eggnog tip. Bülent and Grille you are a great team. Eating out is really fun. LG Klausi with group

Unfortunately, the food fell short of expectations. The Büsumer style plaice tasted very strongly of chip fat. The rest was carelessly prepared Too bad

Full marks for an all-round successful meal. Attentive and friendly staff, delicious food in sufficient portion sizes - appetizingly prepared. Beef fillet / Surf'n Turf to the point and of good quality.

Nice service, food was great, but a bit expensive for our taste (compared to other restaurants in the price range, e.g. in other equally high-priced places - Hamburg, for example)

Nice ambience, cuisine and service really on point! Dishes wonderful! Enrichment for Timmendorf! Only the wine list is quite simple.

Simply top, food and service 6 stars

What can I say? Best sushi I've ever eaten! The waitresses were super friendly, the blonde lady on site was also super friendly and all in all it was a success. Less than full marks wouldn't be fair. Even in the 10-point segment you would be full to the roof! Would thoroughly recommend it to any sushi fan. But there are also other dishes without fish for non-fish fans.

Great cuisine (fish from... Finest), very nice and polite service. Inside, art by Udo and Otto. Nice and cozy outside. We'll be back.

Our new absolute favorite restaurant in Timmendorfer Strand. The atmosphere inside and now also on the outside terrace is extremely stylish, the staff is warm - you always feel welcome - and very professional. The food, whether sushi, pasta, fish or steak, is super delicious. See you soon again!

My wife and I were there for dinner last night. It looked chic and the service was very nice and friendly. The food also tasted great.

Great restaurant with a difference. Food was delicious and plentiful. The service was very attentive and super nice. We felt very well looked after with her! The tuna fillet was cooked perfectly as requested and the surf and turf roll was delicious. The chocolate cake was nice and runny and one of the best I've ever tasted. We are happy to recommend Samoa.

I spontaneously went to the restaurant. No reservation and still got a spot. The service was friendly. The food came quickly and was very tasty. I really liked the atmosphere. The toilets very clean and modern.

Thank you very much, dear colleagues. Hold your passion. That's certainly not easy sometimes. Top service (very child-friendly) top cuisine. The best combination there can be. Together 100%
