    Zur Kogge

    At this Rostock institution, cosy wooden booths are lined with stained-glass Hanseatic coats of armour and monster fish threatening sailing ships, while life preservers hang from the walls, and ships lanterns are suspended from the ceiling. Local fish dishes (rollmops and so on) dominate the menu, or you can stop by for coffee and cake between meal times. There's an above-average kids' menu, too.

  2. Fischerklause

    Fischerklause is one of the atmospheric old fishermen's cottages lining the western bank of Alter Strom, and attracts plenty of tourists (but then so does all of Warnemünde). Still, its ship's cabin decor and its succulent seafood make it worth seeking out. Afterwards pop in for a drink at the adjoining bar fronted by thatched umbrellas.

  3. B

    Amberg 13

    This relaxed, unassuming restaurant is locally renowned for its ambitious and creative cuisine, with dishes such as Kalbshaxe (knuckle of veal) accompanied by polenta and capsicum, onion, rosemary and sherry ragout, or rabbit with chanterelle mushrooms, garlic gnocchi and green beans. It's accessed via an archway and courtyard.

  4. Fischerhaus

    In one of the newer developments along the eastern bank of Alter Strom (where the food is at least as good as the traditional western bank), this relaxed canteen-style place serves simple but delicious dishes: salmon in beer batter, fried Baltic eel, and - for a change from fish - fried liver with apples, onions and mash.

    Ratskeller

    Descending the steps to Rostock's circa-eight-century-old Ratskeller (town hall restaurant) brings you into a vast, low-lit series of cross-vaulted rooms that provide an atmospheric backdrop for dining on its hearty German fare (lots of pork, lots of sauerkraut).

    La Villa

    Fish dishes have a modern Mediterranean accent at this designer cafe/restaurant, where meals are served in a stripped interior of bare boards, banquettes and high-backed wicker chairs. Its extensive tapas menu is best sampled over a glass of freshly made strawberry punch.

    Albert & Emile

    Rostock's most romantic place to dine is this French jewel. Behind the ivy-covered facade it's a haven of black-and-white marble tiles and dark timber, chansonniers crooning from the speakers and accomplished haute cuisine on the handwritten menu.

    Waldemar & Margarete

    This popular café cum restaurant and pub has a friendly atmosphere, with its range of TV sports and film evenings. It serves huge portions of hearty meals, which you can enjoy in the beer garden in summer.

    Green's

    Paninis, smoothies and delicious Thai-influenced curries attract a hip, discerning crowd here. For those in a hurry, there's a weekday 'quick lunch', which has to be on your table in 15 minutes or it's free.
