Wiker Stuben
The Wiker Stuben is a traditional neighbourhood spot in the maritime district of Wik near the navy base. Northern German home cooking, a changing weekly menu with fresh fish and hearty classics, and a cosy dining room. Reliable, down-to-earth and full of Kiel charm.
North German home cooking
The Wiker Stuben rely on what many regard as comfort food: North German home cooking, honestly prepared and without frills. A changing weekly menu brings fresh fish and hearty classics to the table, depending on what the season offers. The dining room is cosy and familiar, with the kind of furnishing that makes you feel at home quickly. It is not a place for culinary experiments, but for reliable, filling cooking of the sort known from the region. Anyone seeking down-to-earth food with Kiel charm is in exactly the right place here.
Maritime Wik
The Wik district lies in the north of Kiel on the western shore of the fjord and has long had a maritime character, not least through its closeness to the navy and the naval harbour. The Wiker Stuben are a neighbourhood local in the best sense, a meeting point for residents, regulars and anyone who appreciates the quieter, original Kiel beyond the city centre. The atmosphere is warm and unpretentious; people know one another and the tone is friendly. Anyone wanting to get to know Wik and its own down-to-earth character finds in the Stuben an authentic starting point for a relaxed evening in the quarter.
Worth reserving
Open Tuesday to Sunday in the evening, the Wiker Stuben are geared to a cosy dinner, not a quick lunch. As reservations are possible and advisable at weekends, it is best to secure a table in advance, especially as a larger group. The weekly menu changes, so a quick look or asking after the current recommendations always pays off. Tip: ask for the fish dish of the week, which often makes the most of the seasonal menu. That turns the evening in Wik into a down-to-earth, hearty pleasure with North German character.
