Cafe Foerdeblick

Coffee with a fjord view

The Cafe Foerdeblick owes its name to its position right on the Kiellinie, where the view stretches across the water to the opposite shore. On the terrace you sit with a coffee speciality in hand, watching sailing boats, ferries and strollers pass by. Inside, bright windows and cosy corners keep the mood warm even in rough weather. The offering ranges from morning breakfast through homemade cakes to an afternoon coffee. Anyone wanting to experience Kiel from its maritime, relaxed side will find the right spot here, with the water always in view and the city at their back.

A break on the Kiellinie

The Kiellinie is Kiel's popular waterfront promenade, running from the city centre along the fjord through Duesternbrook. The Cafe Foerdeblick lies right in the middle and makes a natural stop, whether after a walk, a jog or a visit to the nearby attractions by the water. Because of its open setting, the terrace fills quickly on sunny days, while inside you sit comfortably even in a breeze. The atmosphere is uncomplicated and inviting: not a place for grand staging, but for an honest, restful break with a view and fresh sea air.

Tips for your visit

The cafe is open daily from late morning into the early evening, ideal for a late breakfast, a coffee break or a slice of cake in the afternoon. Anyone wanting a terrace seat with the best view should come early on sunny weekends, as there are no reservations here. Families and dog owners are out and about on the Kiellinie anyway, so the mood stays casual. Tip: combine your visit with a walk towards the Reventlou bridge or the aquarium and stop in on the way back for a cappuccino.
