Forsthaus Hessenstein in Panker

Our absolute favorite restaurant! From the atmosphere / ambience to the food, everything was simply fantastic.

Just wonderful. Top cuisine and an idyllic ambience

Today we went for a walk on the Hessenstein in bad weather in northern Germany and had to find out that it is unfortunately company holidays. The restaurant owner invited us to linger on the terrace for a coffee. As an absolute coffee lover, I have to say that I haven't had such a good cappuccino in a long time. The innkeeper was so warm and courteous as you rarely experience it these days. We will definitely be back!

I only visited the observation tower. Costs 1 euro, to be paid at the machine in the tower. The view is terrific. The parking lot is a little small for the rush that prevailed that Sunday lunchtime. The restaurant is located in a beautiful old house.

Highly recommended! A treat for the palate!

The food and service are excellent. We always like to come back.

Very tasty food and very friendly and good service. All in all a wonderful evening.

A very nice evening with delicious food. We'll be back for sure. The service was also incredibly nice and professional. We say "thank you" for our special evening!

Super quality thanks to Werner. Great service team. Always a pleasure and that for many years!

Gorgeous views over the land from the top of the tower! Very nice stained glass window.

Thanks to the boss for the free, cooling refreshment, we were very happy about it. Dinner is definitely planned here for the next day. UPDATE: Visited today and weren't disappointed. Careful service, perfect food. Thank you so much! We'll be back next year. Best regards to the whole team.

Whether fish or meat, both excellently prepared and very tasty

First class! Relaxed atmosphere, wonderful food, also vegetarian options, child-friendly .... We absolutely enjoyed it and would love to come back.

Very nice location, a great atmosphere in the restaurant. The food was also very good and reasonably priced.

We were here at the end of May 2020 with friends. The first time and not the last time. The food and the service were first class. Everything great. We would love to come back.

A wonderful place to walk, eat and enjoy the view to the Baltic Sea from the tower.

A beautiful place with a great view over the near and far surroundings. The food in the very cozy associated restaurant is just great.

We celebrated our wedding here in 2005. Since then, we've been visitors to this hidden gem restaurant. Somethings have not changed in all these years and some (as they should), have. Under a new owner with strong connections to the restaurants past, the menu has taken an evolution in the right direction underpinned by classics of the house. An excellent wines provide for a full rounded experience along with outstanding staff. If you are in this part of Germany, do yourself a favour and visit this we'll know institution. Booking is advisable weekends and for sure during high season.

Fantastic service!! Delicious and traditional food with a lovely outdoor area! Had to rush home before the storm however will definitely come back!! 😍

looked good at least from the outside, but unfortunately closed. Next door is a very nice lookout tower. You should sacrifice one euro and climb the spiral staircase.

The restaurant is very idyllic. The wine delivery was very sublime and came from our area, so ever recommendable.

Everything was fine, service and food were excellent. You can give 5 stars for that. My wife had the Wiener Schnitzel and I had a 3-course menu, all of the finest and at reasonable prices. Even the plates are very well preheated so that the food stays warm for a long time. A reservation was still possible for the same day and the restaurant is also very child-friendly. The atmosphere is great and the toilets are very clean. No wonder that the restaurant is listed in the Michelin Guide. A little tip: If you want to visit the observation tower (open 24/7), you should insert a 1 euro coin per person or change it accordingly in the restaurant. The view is great!
