"Every year, a friend and I visit a Christmas market in a city we don't know yet. The lockdown from November 2020, however, made us a proper line through the bill, so that we were only able to control the city of Lübeck last November. A few weeks before, I wrote to our GG-journey NoTeaForMe and asked him for advice and recommendations for visiting good restaurants and cafes in Lübeck. He did this very well and competently. Thank you very much at this point! Based on his recommendations, I booked 3 restaurants for the evening from home, among others the restaurant Schiffergesellschaft (primarily because of the ambience, because we wanted fish and/or traditional/natural. For all 3 we received very fast written promises, for the 4th and last night we wanted to explore spontaneously for a restaurant on site. The impressive brick building is very central in the middle of the Touri mile and now very close to the Giant Wheel during the Christmas market. Looks great! GG-Kollege First wrote in his review very nicely to the historical background of this house, so I can save it at this point. The “Schiffergesellschaft” is naturally unbeatable from the ambience, wrote NoTeaForMe. And that's so true! We have a faible for historic houses with original interior, even if the risk of landing in a tour hall is relatively high. But we wanted to get that. When we entered the restaurant at about 6.30 p.m., the mandatory checks were carried out conscientiously, the mouthguard of the employees did not slip under the nose, all Corona rules were observed. A service lady led us through the front room, the historic hall, decorated with wonderful relics of the past centuries, past long, massive tables and benches to our table on the left. If all places are occupied here, it may be quite loud. This was today corona-based God, thank you, not the case. About 50 of the tables were occupied when we left, it became a bit full. Our table The menu came quite fast and as we always order the same drinks for food, we were able to express our wishes immediately, 0.2 l mineral water for 2,90 € for my girlfriend and 0.5 l alcohol-free wheat for sporting 5,50 €. Also the food selection was done quickly. Tonight it should be fish: For me the Great Plalle, for my friend the Pannfisch. The drinks came to us quickly and appropriately tempered. During the waiting period we looked around a little. The atmosphere is welcoming with historical murals and hanging ship models, impressive nautical ambience with much dark wood. This makes it relatively dark inside, but this brings us closer to the seafarer atmosphere. After a reasonable waiting period, our food unfortunately did not come at the same time, I had to wait for more minutes while my friend began to dedicate panfish from trout and nautical salmon with joy to their pann fish. And after the first bites she expressed herself positively: well seasoned, self-taste present, inside still glazed, she was satisfied. The roast potatoes and the mixed supplement salad also told her. The very great enthusiasm and the very great praise (as in the following evening in the freshly caught, however. When my plaice finally stood before me, one could actually say: That's a big piece! First disappointment: the plate was cold! Second disappointment: The fish too! Only the part along the Grats was a bit warm. Probably someone in the kitchen or at the pass had no vision. I think the two foods were ready at the same time, only my plaice probably stood around in the stupid area and waited for a ride. I tried the salt potatoes and the salad that arrived before the plaice. Salt potatoes not special, keep potatoes cooked in salt water. The mixed salad of various ingredients, a slightly acidic yogurt dressing that lacked a bit of honey or other sweetness. Altogether too much in the small bowl and therefore not necessarily to eat tack-free. Back to the fish. The serviceman who accompanied us at first went from table to table and asked the guests about their satisfaction. Like us. I hadn't even eaten a quarter of the fish yet and I told her why not. She reacted completely customer-oriented and immediately gave me a new plaice. Despite my fears of having to wait for a long time, I agreed (I was of course not satisfied . Scholle then came quite fast, actually on a hot plate, with crispy panade, all a bit weakly spiced, a bit too long in the pan, the bacon still a bit soft. I forgot to photograph the 2nd plaice, because a hot fish was more important to me. Overall, food was certainly not bad, but do not stop revelation. And of course, tourists are here in this restaurant the main clientele, but tourist trap I would not necessarily say here, because the service has acted very customer-oriented. And I find the price for the food quite suitable, with my local favorite Greek, who always offers fresh fish on Wednesdays, I pay the same price. And if you're in Lübeck, you just have to go here as a tourist to enjoy the great ambience."
