Zum Klabautermann in Zingst

We asked about a reservation for the next evening and were rudely dismissed, saying that they didn't take reservations and that we should just show up, there would be a spot, and if not, we'd just have to wait. The fact that reservations aren't possible during peak season isn't even the problem here, but rather the way we were instructed.

A beautiful restaurant with friendly and pleasant service, and you can sit outside and enjoy your food or drinks.

One star is still too many!!!! A waitress who, when I asked her: You're fed up with your job, said 'NO' and rolled her eyes, and then said...then find another restaurant.... What else can I say??? The boss was arrogant and only had his eye on the dollar signs. I left with that, had a delicious meal, and was served very politely. Not everyone should be allowed to roam the earth. This shouldn't happen in the restaurant industry. Truly sad. Anyone who can't handle the stress of this job should stay home!

The service was friendly, but the food was a disaster. The sauces were cold, the fish was overcooked, and the appetizers were clearly convenience foods. Absolutely not recommended for the price; there are much better options nearby!

Best food in Zingst, prices are right and absolutely delicious, staff are friendly, I can only recommend it.

The service and chef were horrible. Completely unsuitable for the restaurant industry. We went here twice, once, and never again. Jörg

"Klabautermann" – Visit on August 11, 2025 We spontaneously got a table inside, which we very much appreciated as we wanted to avoid mosquitoes. Unfortunately, one waitress tarnished our positive first impression: When a guest wanted to close an open window, a waitress approached us very forcefully and in an unfriendly manner, insisting that it remain open. This waitress's demeanor was a negative throughout our entire stay – fortunately, she wasn't serving our table. For the meal: Salmon with kohlrabi and potatoes (my wife): solid, tasted okay – grade 3. Pork loin steak with mushrooms and fried potatoes (my choice): also a grade 3 in terms of appearance and taste, but unfortunately, it was only served warm, not hot. The restaurant is reasonably priced, but based on our experience, we wouldn't return.

Some of the food was lukewarm, as was the wine. When we asked for an ice cube, we were told they didn't have any.

The food is delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. All requests are fulfilled promptly and carefully. Highly recommended!

You can not book a table in advance. And standing in a queue in front of a restaurant is unpleasant. But by side that, definitely worth to eat fish there

The food was okay. The fish was unfortunately too dry, and the schnitzel was too thick. The taste was satisfactory. The atmosphere is pleasant, and the waitresses don't seem to be bothered with tourists.

I didn't eat anything, but the beer was good 😊🙃 The food still looked delicious, though.

A great restaurant for the whole family. The selection and quality of the food is excellent, and the staff is friendly and accommodating, whether inside or outside – the ambiance is inviting and cozy. A must-visit when in Zingst.

Nice, affordable, friendly staff. I'd love to come back!

I've eaten there twice, and it was delicious. The service team is always friendly and up for a joke, despite the wait times due to availability. I'd be happy to go back...

As a family with a toddler and a small four-legged friend, we were practically thrown out of the restaurant in the most unfriendly manner by a server, who then did not want to give her name so that she could pass on appropriate information to management, even though there were enough free tables.

A true treat with a feel-good factor! At Zum Klabautermann, you feel completely at home. The food was truly delicious – freshly prepared, beautifully presented, and perfectly flavored. I'd especially like to highlight the super-friendly service: attentive, warm, and always with a smile. You can tell that hospitality is a top priority here. A restaurant you'll happily recommend – and will definitely visit again!

We came here for dinner. The food was okay (fish, fried potatoes, fries, steak). The fish and potatoes could have been seasoned a bit better. We liked the seating in the beach chairs. We didn't like the fact that you can't reserve a table (unfortunately, like in many restaurants in Zingst).

I've never experienced anything so rude. We were practically thrown out because there was supposedly no room for a stroller. There were several tables available, but apparently there's no room for small children. Fortunately, Zingst has other very pleasant restaurants.

We ate here as a family. Everything was perfect. The service was very friendly, the food delicious, the portions nice and large, and the price was reasonable.✌️

It was delicious. Friendly staff, affordable prices, and we highly recommend it. Absolutely top-notch! 👌

We finally got lucky on the last day and got a spot for dinner without having to wait in line. Very good food.

The plaice was raw and unseasoned. The schnitzel was served cold! The schnitzel was also completely unseasoned. Overall, it wasn't convincing. The server, Susi, was super nice and helpful. We were there during opening hours. When we asked if we could sit down (three minutes before opening), we were told no. We had a baby with us and wanted to breastfeed. This, too, totally deducted stars!

Locals recommended the Klabautermann (a German folk costume) to us. Of course, restaurants everywhere in Zingst are packed in the evenings, but two people usually manage to get a seat. They immediately stopped us with our bikes and seated us. We loved that. Unfortunately, the waiter had forgotten the tables outside, so we had a long wait before we could order and then get something to drink. The food was excellent, plentiful, and light.

After a short wait due to the busy restaurant, we were able to enjoy delicious fish. The price and quality were absolutely fine.

I ate Labskaus (18,90€) here and it was very tasty 😋

We ate here today. Simply fantastic. From the moment we arrived and were seated to the moment we left, it was simply superb. The service even deserves 5 stars plus 🌟 Friendly, courteous, and proactive—very good. 👍🏻 Food fresh and delicious, just as you would expect. We'll definitely be back. 🙋🏼‍♂️

Very delicious food; we've been there several times, especially the pike-perch and schnitzel. The service was attentive and friendly. The only thing was that we had to wait a bit because so many people go there and you can't make reservations. I can definitely recommend it.

It tastes very good; the plaice is definitely recommended. We had a short wait because it was very busy. The service was very friendly and attentive.

The portions are very, very large. We had a starter and couldn't finish the entire main course. The staff were very friendly and even commented to us afterwards that the portions were very large. However, the food was very tasty and tasted great. I highly recommend it. The tables for two people were a bit annoying, as they were right next to the public restrooms, and cyclists kept passing us at a distance of 20 cm. However, I would come back here again and try the fish.

We visited this restaurant with six people. We were almost ready to leave until Cem warmly welcomed us. The food was fantastic, and Cem's server made our evening completely and completely special. We'd love to go back! Greetings from Berlin.

Our favorite restaurant in Zingst. Delicious food, not overpriced, short wait times, and filling. Thank you very much, and keep up the good work!

Highly recommended. Great waiter.

Very centrally located and highly recommended for fish lovers. Friendly, attentive service. Delicious fish dishes.

The food was very tasty. Thank you

Very good food and drinks. Good location, yet quiet. We were very satisfied. We'll be back again soon.

I highly recommend this place! During the season, there's a wait, and reservations aren't possible! The food is very good! Friendly service.

A truly great restaurant where you get large portions at fair prices. I would go back. Easily accessible, right in the heart of Zingst's pedestrian zone. We had no problem getting a seat at lunchtime.

Reservations aren't possible, but even if all the tables are occupied, it doesn't take long to be invited in. Usually, the wait is short. Good and fast service. Delicious and plentiful food.

Thank you, very friendly staff, very good food *****... I'd be happy to come back, see you next time...

Delicious food at reasonable prices. We'd love to come back.

Very fast and friendly service. The food is delicious, all freshly prepared, so if you're in Zingst, you should definitely eat there. The prices are great for such a large portion.

I can only recommend it; the food is always top-notch and the service is always friendly....

The daily special was very tasty and reasonably priced, recommended by the waitress. Friendly staff.

I highly recommend this restaurant. We were there in the early afternoon and had no trouble getting a seat. The service was very quick and friendly.

No, the food was greasy, the plaice tasted stale, the bacon was only warmed but not brown, the fried potatoes were yellow but not brown. The cola was lukewarm.

The food was okay. Not exactly a flavor explosion. Unfortunately, it lacked some seasoning, and the salmon was a bit dark on one side.

We sat outside. The staff was attentive and friendly. The food was delicious and the prices were reasonable.

I recommend it, I'd go back anytime 👍

A very pleasant restaurant with a good selection of fish dishes. The staff is very friendly and attentive.

Very tasty food, super friendly staff, very nice cozy atmosphere both inside and outside and the prices are okay too. Will definitely come again 🤗

We stood in line to be assigned a table, and the staff clearly noticed, but we were consistently ignored. Our "Hello" to start a conversation and ask for a table was considered a polite excuse, and the staff walked past us faster than we could speak. Perhaps the staff should be trained to have an eye for their work and the customers, rather than just staring around aimlessly. Absolutely not recommended, what a shame.

Reservations are unfortunately not possible. If you want to have lunch here, you should arrive on time, otherwise all the tables will be taken quickly. The restaurant opened at 11:45 a.m. sharp. Unfortunately, they greeted us with an unfriendly "Sooo..." instead of a "Welcome!" Then we asked for a table for six and were immediately escorted outside without asking. However, we wanted to sit inside with a person with mobility issues! Then they surly pushed three smaller tables together inside. The service we received from then on was very friendly and attentive! The food came quickly, was delicious, plentiful, and the prices reasonable. Apart from the greeting from the shorter, more robust lady, everything was great.

Very tasty food, daily recommendation was very tasty.

Great restaurant; friendly service; delicious food; fair prices; would gladly return anytime

The Klaubautermann offers the usual Baltic Sea mix on the menu, enriched with some GDR classics. The portions are huge, and our roast was unfortunately extremely salty. The decor is rustic but clean.

Top recommendation of the daily menu.

We received a warm welcome and were served with a delicious schnitzel and fish. People queued for a table, and despite that, we were asked what we wanted to drink. That's how I imagine a restaurant: top-notch service from start to finish, with light food right up to the end. PLEASE KEEP IT UP.

The food here is delicious, plentiful, and reasonably priced. The staff is friendly. The decor is simple but cozy and clean.

Very nice, the food was good. The food arrived in 20 minutes for five people at the same time. Child and dog friendly. Nice atmosphere. Very good value for money. We'll go again.

Everything was excellent. From the service and food to the value for money. Very busy, even in the off-season. Tip: An early dinner at 5:30 p.m. was no problem.

Great service and food was also very good you didn't have to wait long

Excellent food!!! Whether meat, fish, or vegetables, it's always cooked to perfection. The vegetables aren't boiled until mushy, but served perfectly al dente. The vegetables here still retain their vitamins! The green beans are also delicious with tasty bacon. Large portions. Good value for money. Friendly service. We consider this the cleanest restaurant in the area, including the restrooms, even though the restaurant is very busy. While everything is clean and well-maintained in Zingst, it's a bit more hygienic here.

Unfortunately, the green beans were only half-cooked and inedible. Otherwise, the service was very nice and friendly. The ambiance was fine.

Very good food, short wait times, and excellent value for money! We actually wanted to go to a different restaurant, but ultimately decided to go there and we haven't regretted it! The fish platter is highly recommended!

We had dinner here on December 29, 2024. The food was, as always, good and plentiful. Nothing to complain about. Drink prices, like almost everywhere in Zingst, were unfortunately very high. We'll definitely be back; the Klabautermann is definitely worth a visit.

This is a great place to sit and have lunch. The service is friendly. I'd be happy to come back again. Highly recommended: cod fillet topped with egg, including fried potatoes. Plenty of food and delicious.

We ate at Klabautermann today and were pleasantly surprised. My husband had a fish platter and I had the solyanka. There was nothing wrong with the food. The fish was juicy and the fried potatoes were crispy and well-seasoned. The side salad was more than adequate... We can recommend the restaurant with a clear conscience.

Highly recommended. Perfectly cooked, super fresh fish. Friendly service. Simply excellent, worth a visit.

We came here for dinner with two families and were thrilled! The food was consistently delicious and the plates generously filled. A thoroughly enjoyable evening – we'd definitely be back!

We arrived with appetites, were served quickly, and the food was really good and the portions generous. Since we were there in beautiful weather, we were seated on the terrace despite the crowds. The waitress quickly brought a straightforward menu, but there was something for everyone, even for little ones or for seniors. Since we were very satisfied, we returned and were very satisfied again. If we're back in Zingst, we'll be happy to return! See you soon and keep up the good work!!!

Good restaurant with friendly staff

Great service and delicious food, potato salad 😋

Great service, large portions, good value for money and, above all, the food tastes excellent.

Top conditions, very friendly and careful, top food and overall a very decent restaurant where you get great and plentiful food for a normal price. Absolutely recommended!

We were at the "Klabautermann" on a Friday. When we entered the restaurant, we didn't even bother to ask for a table for two - we were immediately shown and "seated" to a nice, freshly wiped spot. The waitress immediately brought the menus and after a short time we had already ordered our food - it was supposed to be the "Hamburger Schnitzel". After a reasonable wait (the schnitzels and fried potatoes were finally freshly prepared), our plates arrived - what was on them was very impressive. A very nice, breaded and, above all, not "fried" schnitzel with a fried egg on top and delicious fried potatoes. The portions were plentiful and very, very tasty! And all of this at a really affordable price these days. Our waitress was also on the ball; nice, courteous and competent. So all in all, a very successful visit to the restaurant, which we will definitely repeat when we are in Zingst again!

We've been there several times now and everything we've ordered has been really tasty. As long as we are still in Zingst, we will eat there. Oh, very friendly staff and the prices are okay too.

Zum Klabautermann – Solid fish cuisine with small weaknesses The Klabautermann is always well attended and does not accept reservations in May. Patient guests still usually find a free table - including us, after we waited briefly for a seat inside. The service could be a little friendlier towards waiting guests. The menu offers the typical Baltic Sea mix of fish and meat dishes. Our choice fell on the Klabautermann salad plate and the Klabautermann fish platter. The fish were excellently fried and juicy, the salad and the side salad were solid. The fried potatoes could have been a little crispier, but were well seasoned. Unfortunately, the baguette that was served with it was a failure - it was dry and not fresh. Since I didn't want to eat bread anyway, this wasn't a big drawback for me. A small downer was our seat right by the patio door. Since both guests and service staff were constantly coming in and out, the door was often left open, which led to unpleasant drafts. Ultimately, we and a neighboring table had to help ourselves several times to close the door. Despite these small points of criticism, Klabautermann remains a good restaurant with solid cuisine - we'll be back!

Worth a stop! Good fish menu, attentive friendly service, heating elements outside essential, central location

Very tasty fish dishes. Friendly service despite the restaurant being full. Prices are reasonable. The Klabautermann is worth recommending.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff

It was very busy on a beautiful May Day. The food would still be delivered quickly and warm. The food was super delicious. Homemade coleslaw, schnitzel and fried potatoes. Portions are very large and the beer tastes good too. Thank you for that and we will definitely be back

Friendly, fast service. Delicious food, large portions

On the day of arrival we were spontaneously looking for a nice restaurant for dinner. It was packed at Klabautermann. Then a table became available. Thanks to the waiter Cem. The fish was delicious and it was really cozy here. Gladly again.

Very nice restaurant with extremely friendly staff! The dishes were very good including the price-performance ratio! Absolute recommendation! 👍

Very tasty food!!!!!! Friendly high 10.

Rather simple restaurant...but with friendly, fast service and a good price/performance ratio

Spontaneously got a table under the heater! Food came quickly and was good! Any time

We were there for dinner yesterday, luckily we had a reservation, the food was absolutely delicious, the young waitress was friendly, funny and accommodating. If we were on the island longer, we would eat there more often. But definitely again next time.

Very tasty food, very friendly staff. Clear recommendation.

Wir wollten mit unseren Kindern lecker essen..leider gab es nur 4 Plätze und wir dürften kein Stuhl dazu stellen. Wir sollten stattdessen bei nieselwetter und 9 grad draußen sitzen. Wir waren mega enttäuscht.

Really delicious and very good food and a very nice and cheerful service!

Although we asked spontaneously and everything was initially occupied, the staff still found a solution for us and our two lab ladies. The food was super good and plentiful, the staff was very friendly and helpful. Ambience great. We'd love to come back...🌺

The food was great! Very large portions and the fish was simply delicious. Can be recommended 100%.

We were very happy with everyone. The service was very nice, friendly and attentive. We had a nice space outside. The interior was also very inviting. The food was very good. Everything freshly prepared and very tasty 😋. Would definitely stop there again if I visit Zingst again.

Very nice service, had “recommendation of the day” and were enthusiastic, very tasty, generously portioned, recommended

Nice place. Small beer garden. Food very tasty. Price and performance are good. Very friendly staff. Reserve a table.

It was our first time eating here and it was very tasty... we had pike perch and cod... and delicious spicy meat as a starter... the staff was very friendly... make sure you make a reservation in advance...

Very nice service and very good food. A fish-free special request was also prepared for our companion. Top! Gladly again!

Ate at Klabautermann today. Are there spontaneously. Even though everything was actually reserved, we still managed to get a table. The food was very tasty, the schnitzel was tender and the portions were huge. Any special requests will be taken into account. Service very nice.
