Sansibar is one of the best known locations on the northern island, named Sylt. It can be heaven or hell ... depending on the season you are going to visit. My personal recommendation - don´t visit in peak season. The place is just too crowded, too many proms, too many bystanders. Heaven awaits you, if you visit between October and... More

My friend was taking me there and I kind of expected a Holy Grail of a restaurant.Instead I found a rather ordinary looking wooden building with large crowds waiting to eat lunch. The servers were extremely friendly and helpful and the food was good. I heard that a lot of "Promis" stop by there and maybe that explains the attraction.... More

Maybe because it was off off season ... I booked this restaurant because pretty much everyone I told I am going to Sylt told me that this is the place to go ... ok. The location is very nice and I can imagine how much this place must rock in summer. The service was overall top notch, very friendly. The... More

I have been to Sansibar before and it always amazes me again how well this place is managed. It is always crowded and there is always a line for people who want a table. But still, it is handled with great charm. This time we have been a party of 6 including 2 small children. As soon as we were... More

Zanzibar is a great restaurant on the German island of Sylt of Iceland , near Denmark. In summer they have a large outdoor seating area and huge playground for kids. Menu is great and wine list is very extensive. May want to skip starters if you order a main dish at dinner because you will get free side dishes which... More

There are just a hand full of beach bars/restaurants on Sylt, and this one is surely something special. Great place to watch people with LV bags and matching outfits. Super friendly personel, amazing wine list and good food, but I would say the whole place is a bit over-rated. More
