Alte Mühle

Alte Mühle stands in Kiel beside the Schwentine River, with the Kiel Fjord visible from its sunny terraces. This historic restaurant serves regional dishes from Schleswig-Holstein. Two terraces give you places to sit outdoors beside the water, while the surrounding landscape opens towards the river valley.

Most ingredients come from local producers in Schleswig-Holstein, bringing the region onto plates such as crabs on black bread with a fried egg. Plaice comes with bacon in another local dish. Timber framing and an old millstone preserve reminders of the building’s former life as a watermill. Rooms accommodate private and business gatherings in different sizes, so the historic setting also suits shared occasions.

Around the restaurant, canoeing leads through the Schwentine Valley, and a nearby canoe rental offers access to the river. The setting brings together regional food, historic architecture and views across the water. One small detail captures its past especially well: the old millstone beside the timber framework.
