Restaurants, cafés and bakeries in Santa Ponsa

Kartoffelspeicher builds its menu around baked potatoes at An der Obertrave 6 in Lübeck. The restaurant is run by Jan Stobbe and Muhammad Fahad, and its cooking brings together German, European and international influences. Rather than treating the potato simply as a side dish, the menu gives it the central role and offers several distinct groups of preparations. Vegetarian baked potatoes form an especially broad section. Named choices include Toscana, Popeye, Aphrodite, La Patata, Ali Baba and Geisser Herdöpfel. The meat section takes a different direction with Tandoori Chicken, Obelix, Tropicana and Turkish Delight. Fish appears in another section, with Tonno and Surf'n Turf among the named options. The range allows diners to compare vegetable, meat and fish preparations within the restaurant's focused potato theme. Vegan and gluten free options are also part of the offer, alongside vegetarian dishes. The restaurant presents itself as a place for lunch, dinner or drinks, and describes a selection extending from starters through to dessert. Its international approach is reflected in the variety of dish names and the separate menu sections, giving the same main ingredient several different culinary directions. Tables are reserved by telephone, with the restaurant handling booking requests directly. This straightforward arrangement suits guests who want to contact the people at the venue before their visit. For a meal centred on baked potatoes, Kartoffelspeicher provides a clearly defined alternative to a broad, conventional restaurant menu, with plant based choices as well as meat and fish.

Brauberger zu Lübeck

Lübeck · German home cooking · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

Alfstraße 36, 23552 Lübeck

+49 451 71444

Brauberger zu Lübeck brings a working brewery and a traditional restaurant together on Alfstraße in the old town. Copper brewing equipment occupies the dining room, while the protected Gambrinus cellar preserves a much older layer of the building. The house dates its Romanesque cellar to 1225. Guests can sit on the brewing deck, on the gallery, downstairs in the cellar or outside in the beer garden. These different spaces give the restaurant several distinct settings within the same address. The brewery makes an unfiltered Zwickel beer alongside Oceanflower, a dry hopped pilsner, Revenge India Pale Ale and Baltic Dutchman, a wheat beer flavored with coriander seed and dried orange peel. The kitchen follows the substantial tradition of German brewery food. Its Brauerschmaus combines roast pork, smoked pork loin and sausage with fried Holstein potatoes and sauerkraut. Schnitzels come in several preparations, including a version breaded with brewing malt. Other dishes include grilled pork knuckle and veal meatballs with caper sauce, mashed potatoes and beetroot salad. Fish choices include pollock with mustard sauce, a mixed fish platter and herring with fried potatoes. There are also explicitly vegetarian and vegan dishes, including vegetable lasagna and chili without meat. Smaller appetites can choose soup, salads or gratinated goat cheese with beetroot, rocket and pine nuts. A separate children's section offers schnitzel, pollock and chicken with vegetables and mashed potatoes. Desserts include red berry compote, apple strudel and Kaiserschmarrn. For parties of six or more, the team offers meal arrangements discussed directly with the restaurant.

Restaurant Wullenwever

Lübeck · Mediterranean · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

Beckergrube 71, 23552 Lübeck

+49 451 704333

Wullenwever is Roy Petermann's restaurant in a merchant's house dating from 1585 on Beckergrube. The interior and sheltered courtyard provide two different settings for the same approach to cooking: light, modern dishes with regional roots and Mediterranean and maritime influences. Canvas covers the courtyard, which the restaurant describes as available for much of the year. Menus change every three weeks, allowing the kitchen to shift its emphasis with the season. The selection combines fish, shellfish, meat and vegetables rather than following a single ingredient throughout. One published menu pairs warm smoked pepper salmon with pumpkin, langoustine with carrot, orange and tarragon, and a lighter interpretation of borscht. Main courses include halibut with spinach and mustard Champagne beurre blanc or grilled onglet with autumn vegetables and a red wine and shallot jus. An apple dessert or a selection of matured cheeses completes that sequence. Guests can choose a three course selection or the full five course menu. A seven course surprise menu is available for the whole table by advance order, and a vegetarian menu can also be ordered ahead. Wine receives similarly close attention. The cellar includes German Riesling, Chardonnay and red wines from Europe and overseas, with a substantial selection in half bottles. Roy and Manuela Petermann advise on a complete pairing or an individual glass according to the meal and personal taste. Direct reservations allow guests to discuss their plans with the restaurant, including arrangements for a larger group.

Johanna Berger – Das Restaurant

Lübeck · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian · Seating indoors

Dr.-Julius-Leber-Str. 69, 23552 Lübeck

+49 451 58696890

Johanna Berger's restaurant occupies an old town address on Dr.-Julius-Leber-Straße, with dining rooms inside the historic building and seating in a quiet courtyard. Berger is both the owner and a chef, and her cooking draws on experience gained in southern France, London, the North Sea region and Lübeck. She has been serving food in her namesake restaurant since 2015. Jamel Jerome Poerschke joined the kitchen in May 2024, bringing a particular interest in reinterpreting familiar regional cooking. Their shared approach gives guests a choice between an à la carte meal and a surprise menu shaped by the two cooks' different backgrounds. Seasonal ingredients and preparations made in the kitchen guide the selection. The à la carte offering includes tomatoes with burrata and olive oil, beef carpaccio with truffle mayonnaise and caviar, and ceviche with pickled onion and sesame. Vegetarian main courses include saffron risotto with fennel and roasted pepper, alongside a vegetable dish called Waldspaziergang, served with mushroom jus. Fish appears both as a changing catch and as pikeperch accompanied by saffron risotto and fennel. Meat choices include a changing cut and beef tenderloin with popcorn and jus. Dessert can be followed or replaced by a trio of cheeses with jelly and dark bread. The menu varies with what suppliers can provide, so individual dishes may change. Wine pairings accompany the surprise menus, while the drinks selection also includes a house cocktail. Tables can be reserved online, by phone or by email. The team also welcomes enquiries about private events, rooms and specially arranged menus.

Schiffergesellschaft

Lübeck · German home cooking · Seating indoors · Seating outdoors

Breite Straße 2, 23552 Lübeck

+49 451 76776

Schiffergesellschaft brings Lübeck's seafaring past into a restaurant on Breite Straße. Its former guildhall was a meeting place for captains and merchants, and the historic hall still gives the meal its distinctive setting. Long communal benches and suspended ship models make the maritime connection tangible. Alongside the main hall are smaller rooms, including the Hanse-Lübeck-Zimmer, Kapitäns-Zimmer and Kapitäns-Salon, offering different settings within the same historic house. The kitchen combines northern German classics with international dishes and contemporary creations. Seasonal ingredients and local purchasing are central to its approach, so the cooking looks beyond the building's history while retaining a regional foundation. Wines and spirits form part of the drinks selection. The restaurant welcomes business diners, couples, local families and larger parties, continuing the building's longstanding role as a place to gather. Outdoors, the planted courtyard garden provides another place to sit. Known as the Sonnendeck, it offers a quieter setting away from the large hall. Company celebrations, family occasions and business meals are also part of the restaurant's offer, with reservations available by telephone or email. The society behind the house began as the Saint Nicholas Brotherhood in 1401. It acquired and expanded the premises during the sixteenth century, and the hall emerged from those building works. After compulsory guild membership ended in 1866, parts of the house were opened to the public as a restaurant. That transition explains the unusual combination visitors encounter today: a working dining room inside a building whose identity remains closely bound to Lübeck's sailors.

Gasthof Zur Linde

Alt Duvenstedt · German home cooking · Steak and grill · Burgers

Dorfstraße 9, 24791 Alt Duvenstedt

+49 4338 238

Gasthof Zur Linde stands on Dorfstraße in Alt Duvenstedt and presents the cooking and hospitality of a Schleswig-Holstein country inn. The Krug family and their team combine regional meat and fish dishes with a substantial grill selection. One of the house specialties is the Duvenstedter Galgenspieß, a hanging skewer that brings together rump steak, pork fillet and turkey wrapped in bacon, with peppers, onions and chilies. Herb butter, coleslaw and two dips accompany it. The steak plate pairs beef with pork medallions, mushrooms and onions. Another option is the Lindenburger, made with regional beef, Holtsee cheddar, grilled onions and sauces; a vegetable patty is offered as an alternative. The kitchen's northern German side appears in homemade jellied pork with fried potatoes and a Holstein schnitzel topped with an egg. Fish dishes include fried plaice fillets with an herb and sour cream sauce, while North Sea shrimp appear in the soup selection. Salads and baked cheese provide further choices alongside the main meat dishes. Beyond a restaurant meal, the inn is equipped for social occasions. Its function room hosts weddings, birthdays, anniversaries and company gatherings, with arrangements developed around each party's wishes. A double skittle alley offers another way to spend an evening with friends or a club, and can also be booked for children's birthdays. Reservations are handled by telephone or email; an email request becomes binding only after the inn confirms it. Catering and family functions can be discussed separately.

LammButtRind

Alt Duvenstedt · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian · Vegan

Am See 1, 24791 Alt Duvenstedt

+49 4338 99710

LammButtRind is the restaurant at Seehotel Töpferhaus, beside the Bistensee in Alt Duvenstedt. Its Nordic cooking takes its starting point from the surrounding fields, woods, hedgerows and coast. The kitchen bakes its own bread, makes stocks, pickles and ferments ingredients, and changes the main menu with the seasons. Lamb, flatfish and beef provide the restaurant's name and remain recurring themes, with their accompaniments changing through the year. On the autumn menu, lamb comes with lentils, pumpkin and labneh, plaice with beans, pear and bacon, and braised ox cheek with potato and celery mash. Vegetables receive equally detailed treatment: semolina dumplings with chanterelles and a savoy cabbage roll filled with spelt, apple and pumpkin are among the meatless main courses. Desserts draw on familiar northern ingredients, including a layered apple and dark bread pudding. Inside, two dining wings use wood, natural colors and candlelit tables, with some seats looking toward the water. Six small heated glass houses on the lake terrace offer a separate setting for up to four guests each. A fireplace in the lobby provides another place for a drink before or after eating. Sous chef Marta selects the wines, including bottles from the Douro vineyard she owns with her sisters. Children have a small menu and high chairs. Vegan meals and allergies can be discussed when reserving. Larger parties can arrange a private room, and guests bringing a dog should mention it when booking.

Huk's Restaurant

Ascheffel · Steak and grill · Burgers · Fish and seafood

Aschberg 3, 24358 Ascheffel

+49 4353 99800010

Huk's Restaurant occupies the Panorama Hotel Aschberg in Ascheffel, with views across the Hüttener Berge landscape. The dining room uses natural woods, warm colors and generous light to bring the surrounding countryside into the building. Its interior is intended to suggest sitting beneath a canopy of trees, while the panorama remains part of the meal. Chef and managing director Michal Huk leads a kitchen centered on fresh, seasonal cooking and familiar dishes given new combinations and accompaniments. Fish and meat come from producers known to the house in the surrounding region. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are also part of the restaurant's offer, so the cooking extends beyond its meat and fish specialties. The published menu illustrates the range with a beef cheeseburger, a combination of calf's liver and braised veal cheeks, steak pans with several cuts of meat, and a veal schnitzel. These are examples from a seasonal menu rather than a promise that every dish remains available throughout the year. Drinks include selected house wines and seasonal cocktail creations, and the kitchen also offers sweet and savory snacks. The restaurant serves breakfast as well as its main meals. The adjoining hotel makes the Aschberg a place for family celebrations, weddings and business gatherings too. Its event team discusses the choice of room, menus or buffets, drinks and table decorations with organizers. Visitors arriving by car can park directly at the house. Table reservations and arrangements for a celebration can be made through the hotel's contact details.

Rendsburger Straße 2, 24361 Groß Wittensee

+49 4356 170

Restaurant Wittensee Schützenhof belongs to the family owned Hotel Wittensee in Groß Wittensee. The house has been in family ownership for more than a century, and its restaurant combines Holstein specialties with a broad selection of familiar regional dishes. Guests eat in the traditional dining room or the bright conservatory, while a summer terrace provides an outdoor setting. The menu gives fish a substantial place. Choices include matjes with apple and onion cream sauce, whole fried plaice with bacon and cucumber salad, and pannfisch served over fried potatoes with mustard sauce. Homemade labskaus arrives with eggs, beetroot, pickled cucumber and matjes. A mixed plate brings together herring, jellied pork and roast beef, offering several northern German flavors in one meal.

For celebrations, the hotel has several separate rooms as well as the conservatory and terrace. Its team arranges birthdays, weddings, reunions and company events, with menus and room arrangements discussed individually. Restaurant enquiries can be made using the hotel's telephone number.

Altes Fährhaus Fahrdorf

Fahrdorf · German home cooking · Fish and seafood · Vegetarian

Dorfstraße 47, 24857 Fahrdorf

+49 4621 3929751

Altes Fährhaus Fahrdorf looks across the Schlei toward Schleswig, placing the water and the town's skyline at the center of the dining experience. The building has served as an inn since 1692 and was carefully renovated in 2013. Today the Hempfing family runs it as a restaurant with a regional kitchen, a sunny terrace and its own landing stage. Its cooking combines seasonal northern German classics with touches of Swabian food, reflecting the family's earlier years near Lake Constance. Chef Sven Hempfing trained in Berlin and later qualified in dietetic cooking before becoming a master chef. Tanja Hempfing, a trained hotel professional, oversees service and the running of the dining room. The menu gives a concrete picture of those northern and southern influences. Maultaschen come with bacon, onions and potato salad, while Swabian onion roast beef is accompanied by homemade spaetzle. Fish supplied by the Ross fishing family includes pike, perch and herring from the Schlei and Baltic Sea, with the selection depending on the catch. Vegetarian choices include cheese spaetzle, spelt and cheese patties, and pasta with pumpkin and ginger ragout. The waterfront setting also shapes how guests arrive: the inn can be reached from the B76 through the village, or by motorboat using its landing stage. Boat visitors should check the shallow water depth before approaching. The terrace adds an outdoor option, although service there depends on staffing and is not always available. Contact the family directly to discuss a visit.

Tobis Hüs

Westerland · Takes reservations

Gaadt 7, 25980 Westerland

+49 4651 23111

Tobis Hüs is Tobias and Corda Kusch’s restaurant on Gaadt in Westerland. Tobias opened it in February 2017 after spending years working in other restaurants, bringing his enthusiasm for food and wine back to his family’s home island. The result is a personal dining room whose hosts place conversation and contact with guests at the centre of the experience. Chef Cristina Munteanu has been part of the kitchen since the beginning, cooking with predominantly regional and seasonal ingredients. Alongside the regular menu, changing recommendations give the kitchen room to work with what the season brings. Several dishes make the table itself part of the meal. Beef tartare is prepared beside the guests and served with Tobi’s homemade beef and tartare sauce. Pasta is finished in a Parmesan wheel, giving another familiar dish a more theatrical presentation. Tiramisu also receives its finishing touches at the table, carrying that approach through to dessert. Wine is a particular interest of the hosts, though freshly drawn beer is another option with the food. The restaurant’s character comes from this combination of a familiar welcome, seasonal cooking and dishes assembled in front of the people eating them. It suits visitors who enjoy an interactive meal and a host with a clear personal connection to the restaurant. Table requests can be made through the reservation form or by email. Guests should specify their party size and preferred sitting, and contact the restaurant if their plans change.

Alte Friesenstube

Westerland · Fish and seafood · Takes reservations · Groups and functions

Gaadt 4, 25980 Westerland

+49 4651 1228

Alte Friesenstube occupies a thatched Frisian house on Gaadt in Westerland, with tiled dining rooms and a garden planted with roses. Built in 1648, the house was restored by the Schacht family and retains a strong connection to the island’s domestic architecture. The setting gives a meal here a distinctive sense of place before the first course arrives. The kitchen follows the same regional thread while adding more contemporary combinations. Its menu is written in Low German, so familiar northern dishes appear under their local names. Pannfisch brings together fish and potatoes from the pan with mustard sauce and salad. Roast duck comes with red cabbage and homemade potato dumplings, while braised ox cheeks are paired with root vegetables and chive mashed potatoes. Fish choices also include sea bass with pepper risotto, plaice with bacon, and cod with creamed pointed cabbage. Starters range from tuna carpaccio with wakame to beef tartare on sourdough bread. Truffle pasta and goat cheese cream with beetroot offer another direction between the larger meat and fish dishes. Desserts continue the northern theme with red berry compote and elderberry soup with apples and dumplings, alongside crème brûlée. The wine selection is another part of the meal, with staff offering pairings for dishes and menus. Beyond individual tables, the restaurant arranges weddings, birthdays, business meals and Christmas celebrations. Reservations are handled by telephone or in person, giving guests a direct way to discuss a table or a larger occasion.
