Zur alten Foersterei
Zur alten Foersterei on the edge of the green Schrevenpark serves hearty northern German home cooking: kale with cabbage sausage in season, roasts, schnitzel and fish dishes. The shady beer garden under old trees is a popular meeting point in summer after a stroll through the park.
An inn by the Schrevenpark
Zur alten Foersterei lies on the green edge of the Schrevenpark, one of Kiel's most popular local recreation areas with a pond, old trees and playgrounds. The inn wears its name with pride: dark wood, cosy parlours and a rustic charm spread a traditional tavern atmosphere. The beer garden under the leafy canopy is a magnet in summer. Anyone strolling through the park or out with the family will find an obvious and inviting place to stop here, pleasantly combining city proximity with greenery.
Northern German home cooking
The kitchen stands for what fills and pleases the north: kale with cabbage sausage and smoked pork in the cold season, crispy roasts, schnitzel in several variations and fresh fish dishes. Sides such as fried potatoes, red cabbage and dumplings round out the plates. The portions are generous, the prices fair. A regional beer from the glass or a schnapps to aid digestion goes well with it. Here you eat down-to-earth and without frills, just as it should be in a genuine inn.
For which occasions?
The place suits many occasions: a casual family meal at the weekend, a regulars' table among friends or a hearty meal after a long walk in the park. It is open from Tuesday to Sunday from midday until late evening. For larger groups and during the kale season a reservation is recommended, as the beer garden and parlours fill up well then. Anyone seeking the genuine northern German experience without heading into the city centre is in good hands here.
