€€€€Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine
Housed in Strandhotel Dünenmeer, Ostseelounge has much to offer. In the clean-lined, chic restaurant, floor-to-ceiling windows afford wonderful views of the dunes and the sea – romantic sunsets included! Chef Christopher Huhnstock-Kerber presents a modern, seasonal set menu, showcasing predominantly regional ingredients with his own creative touch. Clearly structured and with refined contrasts, harmonious dishes such as "Alpine pasture-raised lamb, onion, apple" or "fermented whey, fennel pollen, dill" stand out. A three-, five- or seven-course menu is available, also in a vegetarian version.

Ostseelounge offers modern seasonal cuisine, praised for creative plating and fresh ingredients. Service is generally attentive, though some reviews note issues with queuing, uneven seating distribution, and occasional lapses at the new location. The ambiance features an open kitchen and glass wine cellars, creating a contemporary feel, but lacks the former sea views. The restaurant enforces a strict 16+ age policy and offers limited menu flexibility. While food quality remains high, the experience varies significantly due to the relocation and service inconsistencies. It suits adults seeking refined dining who prioritize culinary execution over scenic views.
Suitable for adults prioritizing culinary creativity and quality; confirm seating preferences and age restrictions in advance.
€€Country cooking
This restaurant's striking red façade draws the eye. The smart interior is modern and stylish, and the atmosphere is welcoming – the wooden tables are a nice touch. In the open kitchen, regional dishes are prepared, occasionally incorporating influences from around the globe. Diners can choose between the two set menus or order à la carte. The soups, for example, are delicious, but so is the fresh fish! The proprietress ensures cordial and attentive service. They also offer pretty guestrooms and holiday flats.

Located in Ostseebad Wustrow, Schimmel's offers modern country cuisine with a focus on high-quality ingredients and innovative flavors. Reviews frequently praise the excellent food, generous portions, and warm, professional service. The atmosphere is described as stylish, cozy, and relaxed, featuring an open kitchen that adds to the sophisticated yet unpretentious vibe. While the average rating is 4.5/5, some negative feedback highlights issues with arrogant service, poor reception, or perceived low value. A few guests mentioned a domineering owner. Despite isolated complaints, the restaurant is generally regarded as a top-tier dining destination on the Darß peninsula.
Ideal for travelers seeking high-quality modern country cuisine in an elegant setting; reservations are recommended.
