Restaurantschiff Capt'n Schillow

In Berlin's Charlottenburg Tiergarten, slightly hidden in the Landwehr Canal near the Charlottenburg Gate, a blue and white restaurant ship has been anchored since 1996. Capt'n Schillow combines classic Berlin cuisine with a maritime atmosphere, without appearing overly touristy.
Seaman’s Fare in the Heart of Charlottenburg
Just a few steps from the Straße des 17. Juni, the restaurant ship lies semi-hidden in the Landwehr Canal. Those who find it can dine in idyllic seclusion. The blue and white painted ship has its very own charm. Wooden planks lead down to the mooring, which is hidden under tall trees. Going aboard means leaving the city behind. The place is more reminiscent of Amsterdam or Hamburg than Berlin. Yet, it is almost in the heart of the capital. Between the Tiergarten S-Bahn station and the Ernst-Reuter-Platz U-Bahn station, just a few steps from the city center, the ship has been permanently anchored since 1996.
Capt’n Schillow: Cuisine with Conviction and Tradition
Freshly caught fish, delicious meat dishes, Berlin specialties, selected wines, and a varied menu make up the offering. The cuisine lives up to what the ambiance promises. The fish stew “Capt’n Schillow” is particularly recommended. Classics such as the traditional seaman’s meal with corned beef brisket, fried egg, gherkin, beetroot, pickled herring rolls, and boiled potatoes are also on the menu. For main courses, guests can choose between fish, meat, and vegetarian options. Additionally, brunch is also available on board on weekends: various breakfast offers for sailors* or landlubbers, on or below deck. In summer, the deck seats beckon, allowing one to enjoy the sun while eating. However, the ship restaurant does not close its doors in winter either. Below deck, it then becomes really cozy. Those who want to celebrate a special occasion can also book the ship for events and private parties. The evening cruises with the MS Pauline are particularly popular, with attentive staff, very good food, and great impressions on the water.
