The name is unusual, referring to swimming lessons, and there is a bowling alley in the basement. It's this quirky personality that makes the Freischwimmer charming. The decor is a sort of simple chic that reflects Hanseatic understatement. The food is interesting and well executed - a combination of German and Mediterranean. The wine list short but quality. And the service is knowledgeable, attentive and friendly.

The restaurant comes with a sleek and dark design inside and a cozy beer garden outside. Plus, there is a fun two-lane bowling alley (ninepins) in the basement that you can rent before or after dinner! During my last visit with friends we had the 'calamaretti' (filled calamari), the EURO2016 Burger with cranberries, artichoke, brie and rucola, the steak fritte and the Roast beef. Everything tasted great, and I would order it again, especially the calamaretti! However, the burger's toppings (cranberries, artichoke, brie and rucola) could have been more. Besides a great menu, the drinks are great, as is the beer on tap and their craft beer selection as well. A nice finish for a fun evening with friends is the bowling alley! We had so much fun that we will be back for sure! + tasteful diversified menu (changes monthly!) + good drinks, wine and beer menu + prompt service and fun hosts + not very noisy for a restaurant + cozy beer garden + fun bowling alley in the basement + metro train right next door Average entrée: EUR 18 Credit cards accepted.
