The restaurant

In a rustic setting, Leopolds serves fish dishes, steaks and Spanish tapas, among others; the fish is sourced fresh from the harbour in close cooperation with Travemünde fishermen according to the restaurant. Changing weekly menus pick up seasonal dishes such as asparagus, chanterelles, cabbage, game and mussels. On Fridays there is a tapas evening. The TA.SH tourism data explicitly recommend the fresh plaice and the Friday tapas evening and describe the house as hearty regional cooking in a rustic setting in the heart of town. According to the same data it opens on Wednesdays and Thursdays only in the evening, from Friday to Sunday already at midday; on Mondays and Tuesdays the kitchen stays cold. Kurgartenstraße runs one street behind the Vorderreihe – so a stroll along the Trave does not automatically pass this address.
