The O'ROOM in Świnoujście – Michelin-Starred Seasonal Dining on Germany's Baltic Coast

The O'ROOM, located on the Baltic Sea promenade in Heringsdorf (just across from Świnoujście, Poland), is a restaurant that has recently transformed. As of February 2026, the Michelin-starred kitchen has evolved into a pop-up concept, now run by chef Claudio Mazzucato. The restaurant is part of the Marc O'Polo Strandcasino, a concept store housed in a building with a history dating back to the original seaside casino of 1897.

The guiding philosophy remains unchanged: a cuisine that is accessible, centred on enjoyment and lightness. Head of Gastronomy André Kähler, who continues to lead the overall gastronomic direction, describes the shift as a natural evolution rather than a farewell. The new format, named The O'ROOM da Claudio, brings Mazzucato's Italian culinary style to the fore.

The menu is built around seasonal ingredients and classic Italian preparations. Starters include a beef fillet carpaccio with pine nuts and shaved Parmesan, a vitello tonnato of rosé veal with tuna sauce and caper berries, and a baked soft cheese in brick pastry with truffle honey and shaved black truffle. Pasta dishes are made in-house, featuring Claudio's gnocchi with porcini mushroom cream sauce, homemade ravioli with a changing seasonal filling, and spaghetti aglio olio e peperoncino. The wine list is carefully selected, with an emphasis on natural, organic, and biodynamic producers from Germany, France, Spain, and Italy.

The restaurant's Michelin star, awarded for high-quality cooking, underscores the precision and care behind this seasonal cuisine. The setting within the Strandcasino, a light-filled space on the promenade, provides a relaxed yet refined atmosphere. The O'ROOM is open Sunday through Tuesday from 5 pm, offering a focused, ingredient-driven dining experience on the Baltic coast.
