I hope to try more food from this city along the Baltic Sea but for now it is a 4-star meal to me!…read more It was tougher to find English reviews and recommendations for Rostock than Berlin or Hamburg but I saw multiple recommendations online for Zur Kogge. I was worried that the tourist attraction would lack gastronomically. Thankfully, I was wrong. I arrived to find a large tour group dining and only one free table left. Throughout my meal, I witnessed many diners turned away because they were booked up (this was on a Monday night), so make sure to come early or make a reservation. If you want the best view of the nautical decor, reserve a table on the upper level. My drink and food orders were taken promptly even though they were BUSY. I ordered the Rostocker Export draught to start. It was a great pour and went perfectly with my food. I ordered the pumpkin ginger soup and I sat there for 10-15 minutes with my taste buds blown. It was served hot, with dark bread croutons and pumpkin oil. It was smooth but thick and warmed my entire body. I ordered the sauteed herring with potatoes and green beans (Frisch gebratene Ostseeheringe mit deftigen grünen Speckbohnen und Bratkartoffeln) as my entree. I hadn't had a fish with bone-in in a long time, so eating it was a bit of a challenge for me. The flavors were great but the dish overall was a tad heavy. Both the potatoes and green beans are sauteed in bacon grease. I left feeling content and fit in a nice 15-minute walk before getting on the bus back to Berlin. I will definitely bring friends along next time.

Love this place and that was why for my graduation dinner I took my parents (who came all the way…read morefrom Canada) to eat here! Wow were we happy with amount that was served!!! Don't let the name stop you from coming in -- here not only is fish served but also steak, vegetarian and basically typical North (Rostock) fisherman food. I ordered the Schollen -- it came with a nice fish plate and a generous amount of salad, sauce and either rice or french fries or croquettes (fried potatoes thingy) Try and get a table upstairs- cause there are plenty of old antiques hanging from the wall and nice huge blowfish also. The staff are friendly and perhaps you can also get the Platt-Deutsch menu and learn some words also! All in all, a nice restaurant, centrally located -- across from the harbour so you can also go for a walk after or before or what the heck go into the city for some shopping!

Great casual fish restaurant right at the beach! My dad was looking for halibut which was almost…read moreimpossible to find allover town. I guess they really did catch almost all of it? Too sad. This place still had it in the menu. Nice outdoor seating area friendly service and reasonable prices. Only rose wine they offer is California Zinfandel. oy! Why? If you don't like syrup don't order it. I had the split of cult like Rotkapchen sparkling wine which is local and if you order it in the " trocken" variety it's not sweet. No vegetarian or vegan options on the menu. I know it's a fish restaurant but I'm always surprised that no one offers a salad or veggi dish for those that accompany their meat eating friends.... still nice place

While we were walking the coast of Germany, we tried to find someplace to eat on a Sunday. This was…read morethe only restaurant that we found open. We decided to give it a try even though it was a seafood restaurant and we were in the mood for other type of food. I am really happy that this was the only place open because it was very good. Everything we ordered was great. I had the tiger shrimp with a good local beer. Our group had a variety of other dishes including fish and other seafood and all of it was cooked to perfection. If you get the opportunity treat yourself and come to this restaurant. The prices were very reasonable.
