01 The story, in three paragraphs

Why everyone keeps coming back.

Nestled charmingly along the waterfront at Strandstraße 2 in Waren (Müritz), Restaurant & Cafe Am Yachthafen Waren offers an exquisite culinary experience that marries the serene atmosphere of the yacht harbor with an impressive menu of refined European dishes. Specializing in a delightful blend of restaurant and coffee shop offerings, this venue effortlessly balances elegant dining with relaxed lakeside charm.

The cuisine here shines through a thoughtfully curated menu that invites both seafood aficionados and lovers of hearty classics to indulge. Among the standout dishes is the Safranrisotto mit Garnelen, a creamy saffron-infused risotto enhanced by succulent shrimp, white wine, and a delicate dusting of Parmesan cheese, creating a perfectly balanced richness that dances on the palate.

Seafood takes center stage across several pasta selections, such as the Spaghetti mit Garnelen, where the garlic-laden shrimp mingle with juicy cherry tomatoes, olives, and fresh parsley, all enveloped in a vibrant tomato sauce. For those seeking a creamier delight, the Tagliatelle mit Lachs features fresh ribbons of pasta paired with tender salmon cubes, cherry tomatoes, and a gentle garlic cream sauce—each bite bursting with texture and subtle flavor.

Complementing these savory delights are thoughtfully crafted aperitifs that perfectly match the relaxed, lakeside setting. The classic Aperol Spritz—bright, bubbly, and slightly bitter with fresh orange—invites guests to sip and soak in the picturesque marina views, while non-alcoholic versions and fruity concoctions like the Lillet Berry and Hugo offer refreshing alternatives with fragrant elderflower, wild berries, and cooling mint.

Beyond the enticing menu, the ambiance at Am Yachthafen Waren is noteworthy: large terraces provide panoramic vistas of tranquil waters dotted with elegant boats, setting the perfect scene for both casual lunches and romantic dinners. The blend of stylish, comfortable decor with attentive, friendly service creates a welcoming environment where every guest feels valued.

Real customer experiences affirm the restaurant’s exceptional standards. Daniel Buchta praises the generous portions and superb flavors of their Schnitzel and beef filet dishes, describing the lakeside location as “super” and giving the establishment a well-deserved five-star rating. Manfred Kroll and JKO highlight not only the enticing drinks—especially the Aperol Spritz—but also commend the fast, friendly service and the notable variety beyond typical pizza and pasta offerings. Anke Boldt’s enthusiastic recommendation applauds the stylish ambiance paired with fair prices, while Flying Fish appreciates the elegant decor and swift service.

Whether you’re drawn by the lure of fresh seafood, the joy of a perfectly prepared risotto, or simply the need to unwind with a drink overlooking the harbor, Restaurant & Cafe Am Yachthafen Waren offers a memorable experience where taste, setting, and service harmonize beautifully. It is truly a culinary gem by the water’s edge, inviting you to savor every moment and every bite.

We had the Schnitzel and beef filet, each with mushrooms and potatoes. Both were super delicious. While the price wasn't cheap, it was clearly worth it and the portions were very big. Location and atmosphere directly at the lake also super. This well-deserved 5*.

Auf einen Drink. Zum Abend sind wir hier eingekehrt, weil uns die Lage am Hafen und der Ausblick ansprach. Wir haben einen Aperol Spritz auf der großen Terrasse getrunken. Sehr lecker und preislich fair. Der Service war schnell und freundlich.

Friendly and helpful staff, perfect location directly at the yacht harbour with view onto the water and the boats. We didn't have a starter and chose the main from special offers. Schnitzel as well a the Zander were great. Quantity of the food was also plenty. One of the few location which are not Pizza, Pasta & Co. Need to really point out the waiters, which were fast and very friendly. Thanks for a great experience in Waren.
