Hafenwirtschaft - Kiel

Very disappointing, kitchen should serve until 9 a.m., but we could no longer order at 8.15 a.m., service totally ignored us.

We came to the canal to see the lighthouse and also looked for a place to eat. The sign didn't let us believe it was a restaurant, but it checked anyway. Sure. We were there early and was told that they are not open for dinner 5 but should make a reservation as they had reservations (it was Tuesday night). I'm glad. The staff was amazing and very helpful in our selection of food and explains everything, very good, in English. The atmosphere was beautiful and the food was delicious! The server was amazing and very attentive. The parking lot was plentiful and free (if we were there at all). In any case, you have to eat in Kiel.

I was thrilled by the delicious lunch kitchen of Hafenwirtschaft Gastronomie Event GmbH. The pig was cooked for perfection with generous serving of spinach and sides. We finished the course with a magnificent desert to make our day.

We stumbled across this restaurant because we were moored in a nearby marina. We had no expectation of finding a decent eating establishment in the vicinity and were really pleasantly surprised to find a restaurant that exceeded our expectations to such a degree.It was the beginning of the Asparagus season when we dined here, so many of the Specials included fresh local asparagus: I had the asparagus soup with smoked salmon as a starter and my friend had the Wiener schnitzel with asparagus hollandaise - both were excellent! In fact, the entire meal was excellent!The bread was excellent; my gin & tonic was excellent; our starters were great; our main courses were brilliant; my coffee was faultless. We had a nice bottle of Malbec at a reasonable price; our waitress was lovely - and because I can't speak German she very carefully explained all the items on the menu to me. All in all, a great meal in very pleasant surroundings with excellent service at a reasonable price. If you are in the area you should try it - I am sure you won't be disappointed. Strongly recommended!

We had dinner at the Hafenwirtschaft on our way back from our sailing trip to Denmark and stayed in the overnight harbour near the locks of the Kielerkanal in Holtenau (Kiel). The restaurant is only 300 meters form the harbour and though we had made no reservations we got a nice table.The food was very good and the service quick and kind.Price and qualty are in good balance. A bit peculiar was that the special recommended soup of the day (cauliflower and ???) turned out to be no longer available, after two of our company ordered it. But the alternatives were ok!
