Zingst Seaside Barbecue at the Strandhotel Zingst

Barbecue by the Baltic Sea every Saturday


It’s Saturday again, 5:30 p.m., and time for the coastal barbecue. The walk there couldn’t be more pleasant: just a few steps from the sea, right into the Strandhotel Zingst, and practically straight into the garden. Ahead of us are the pool, the beach chairs, shady spots, and sun loungers for relaxing. The aroma is already enticing: Chef Maik Gültzow and his team are in our barbecue area, below the terrace of the Nautica Restaurant. Whether at the asado, in front of the fire pits, or at the buffet, they take plenty of time to do what makes us happy.


Every Saturday, the garden at the Strandhotel Zingst becomes a gathering place for everyone who

Take the time to enjoy. Where craftsmanship and indulgence come together.

To the beat of the waves. To the rhythm of the crackling fire.


Guests are sitting on the patio, looking out at the green, mostly calm garden.

Listen to some mellow beats. The dress code? Relaxed.


Some people come to Zingst specifically for the beach barbecue. Others discover it while

during their stay at the Strandhotel Zingst. Sometimes it’s barbecue experts who take a closer look. Sometimes it’s guests from Rostock or Stralsund who just want to enjoy a good meal. Some come for a birthday celebration; others are looking for a special restaurant for a romantic evening.

No matter what our guests are looking for, they'll find a relaxing evening full of enjoyment.

What's going on the grill?

The Coastal Barbecue is all about variety and quality. Meat, fish, and vegan dishes are prepared simultaneously on different grills.


The menu features, among other items, Pommern Prime Beef Brisket, U.S. Beef Ribs, pulled beef, and Prime Marbled Tomahawk steaks. Organic entrecôte from the Asado Grill and whole roast beef are also staples on the menu.


The fish comes from active fishermen in the Fischland-Darß-Zingst region and is cooked over an open fire or on planks.


The menu is rounded out with homemade BBQ sauces, sweet potatoes, king oyster mushrooms, garlic bread, and seasonal sides. Vegan options are also an integral part of the concept.

Professional-Level Grilling: Equipment and Techniques

A key feature of the coastal barbecue is the use of high-end grills. Instead of a single grill, about a dozen grills are used simultaneously.


These include fire pits from OFYR and Masuria Living, the Moesta Bandit FirePlace, Asado grills, and appliances from Broil King. The setup is rounded out by ceramic grills, the Traeger Timberline XL, the Moesta Sheriff Pellet Smoker , and an 800-degree Beefer.


Various techniques, such as "low and slow," direct grilling, and high-temperature cooking

run at the same time.


Partners and Quality

The Coastal Barbecue is sponsored by partners such as the Grillwerft and Pistole Prime BBQ . The collaboration covers equipment, product quality, and professional exchange.
