Labskaus Kombuese

A mood like a ship's galley

The Labskaus Kombuese styles itself entirely after an old ship's galley: dark wood, nautical decor, rigging and maritime keepsakes on the walls. The atmosphere is warm, rustic and cosy, ideal for a sociable evening in a Nordic mood. Here you quickly feel as if aboard an old freighter. If you are looking for northern German tradition not only on the plate but in the ambience too, you will find a coherent, characterful address in the old town.

Real Labskaus and matjes

At the heart of it is the maritime home cooking of the north: real Labskaus with a fried egg, rollmops and beetroot, alongside homemade matjes herring and hearty stews. These robust classics are honest, filling and deeply rooted in sailors' cuisine. If you have never tried Labskaus, this is your chance for an authentic taste. The portions are generous, so you set off again well fortified and with a piece of northern German food culture in your luggage.

Right in the old town

The Labskaus Kombuese lies in Kiel's old town, making it central and easy to reach on foot, for instance after a stroll through town or a visit to the Alter Markt. The location makes the restaurant a practical destination for guests who want a hearty meal after sightseeing. Bus and train stop nearby, and you do not need a car here. The cosy house is well attended, especially in the evenings and at weekends, so a reservation is recommended.
