Seventies rock plays low while a seven-course tasting menu lands on tables decorated with cosy modern touches, which sets the mood at this Michelin-starred creative restaurant on the Baltic coast. Chef Tom Wickboldt builds menus that feel coherent rather than showy, and the sourdough comes with a small surcharge that nobody seems to resent. Heringsdorf is a beach resort, so the room skews relaxed in a way that feels intentional.

Regional German

Rank 7. Restaurant Kurt im Gutshaus
Modern New American
A cobblestone drive through a restored manor estate sets the tone before you've even opened a menu. This is a set-menu restaurant, two options running four to six courses, one built around regional producers and one vegetarian, though you can order à la carte if commitment feels like too much. The room pairs classical bones with contemporary touches, and the terrace in summer makes the whole thing feel slightly unreal.

A Michelin-starred fine dining room in a Baltic Sea resort town, freustil has the Nordic-spare interior you'd expect and none of the stiffness. The chef came from the Black Forest and stayed, building multi-course menus around regional ingredients kept close to their natural form. The sea is three minutes away on foot, which feels right for a kitchen this quietly focused on where things come from.
