The El Paso is particularly popular with its young visitors. This is the place to to for a bite before diving into Kiel's nightlife on weekends. During the happy hour from 10.30p to midnight two cocktails are offered at the price of one. An inexpensive daily changing lunch special is also available. The El Paso has got a non-smoking section and a terrace. A Catering service also belongs to the business and delivers all meals straight to your private party. The interior bears modern Mexican and American elements. The decoration is just as young as the many guests here. It can quickly get rather packed, especially during happy hours. The neo-mexican cuisine offers a choice of fajitas, burritos, baked potatos and burgers along with American beer and Cai piranhas.
The Eisparadies in Knooper Weg might have the biggest and most delicious portions of ice cream in Kiel. The long queues in front of the shop which regularly build up when the weather is fine are proof of how popular this place really is. Waiting in this line has almost reached a cult status, and the sidewalk in front of the ice-cream parlour is transformed into a meeting point for bon viveurs and people with a sweet tooth. While you are waiting for the culinary delights in the anticipating crowd, it is easy to start a conversation and sometimes even make a date. The doors of the Eisparadies stay shut in winter (English: Ice Cream Paradise) and big plush toys guard the salesroom.
The Mangos is located directly on the old market square and offers a large choice of American snacks and main courses like burgers, steaks, ribs and fresh salads - to name just a few. During the daily happy hour from 5-7.30pm, the bar offers half-price cocktails. You should take advantage of this opportunity, as the original Cuban bar does not only offer the usual longdrinks, but also some very appetising and exotic variations. In good weather, you can sit outside on the terrace and enjoy the charming Old Town atmosphere.
The restaurant at the Strandhotel is very nicely situated by the water and offers an exquisite choice of fish dishes. Typical seasonal Schleswig-Holstein meals like green cabbage and asparagus can also be enjoyed in a sophisticated ambience at the Strandhotel. Exclusive wines complete the menu. The spacious dining-rooms can also be booked for private festive occasions with up to 120 people. It is recommended to book a year in advance if you are planning a festivity. Meetings and conferences should also be announced well in advance. The restaurant has a fire-place and a wintergarden, and the guests can sit at tables with a view of the Strander marina. Strander halibut and freshly caught herring provide an impression of Schleswig-Holstein's cuisine, and the wine of the month goes very nicely with the meals on offer.
The spacious Cabana Rodizio offers a rich choice of specialities from Brazil. The moderately priced all-you-can-eat meal is very popular and gives you an impression of the variety of Southern American cuisine. A typical cocktail with the meal is recommended. There also is a daily brunch at a fixed price. Due to its location near the harbour, the Cabana is particularly popular with Scandinavian guests, so it is advisable to book a table on weekends.
