Best wine card I have ever seen, great seafood and fantastic US-Steak...so don't forget to have the sushi as starter and a prosecco. Great location in the dunes at the northsea and very smart merchandising concpt

it is no hidden secret. that is why you can hardly make a booking. 2 seatings 6 and 8pm. very friendly service. do not order a starter as your table will be loaded with little dishes of salad, ham etc.(on the house) to ease the waiiting. the food, especially the fish dishes are out of this world. if the weather...

I'll admit that I was skeptical about going to Sansibar. Could it really be worth the hype? Was it really that good that it warrented bumper stickers on cars, logos on handbags, even a display in a decidedly un-hip part of Hamburg? We went for lunch, and this was one of the best meals I have ever eaten--make that EXPERIENCED--in... More

Sansibar is one of the best known locations on the northern island, named Sylt. It can be heaven or hell ... depending on the season you are going to visit. My personal recommendation - don´t visit in peak season. The place is just too crowded, too many proms, too many bystanders. Heaven awaits you, if you visit between October and... More

I had already the impresion with Sansibar but I tried. the fact It was cmpeltely busy for the whole week gave me some hope that it was a special place. We decided to go lunch time. Very nice and...

My friend was taking me there and I kind of expected a Holy Grail of a restaurant.Instead I found a rather ordinary looking wooden building with large crowds waiting to eat lunch. The servers were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good. I heard that a lot of "Promis" stop by there and maybe that explains the attraction.... More

Maybe because it was off off season ... I booked this restaurant because pretty much everyone I told I am going to Sylt told me that this is the place to go ... ok. The location is very nice and I can imagine how much this place must rock in summer. The service was overall top notch, very friendly. The... More

I have been to Sansibar before and it always amazes me again how well this place is managed. It is always crowded and there is always a line for people who want a table. But still, it is handled with great charm. This time we have been a party of 6 including 2 small children. As soon as we were... More

Zanzibar is a great restaurant on the German island of Sylt of Iceland , near Denmark. In summer they have a large outdoor seating area and huge playground for kids. Menu is great and wine list is very extensive. May want to skip starters if you order a main dish at dinner because you will get free side dishes which... More
