Where to eat in Bad Segeberg
As promised, here is our top picks for dining in Bad Segerberg. Initially Claire wrote this, then I, Declan, edited it and made my additions. I will be talking in italics to make clear who's saying what, but we agreed on the top 5, including the order.
1. Mones,
If you ever find yourself in Bad Segeberg, Mones is the best place to eat. There are numerous reasons:
First and foremost, the food. Mones caters for both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike. The menu is American-style: think veggie or vegan patty on crisp burger bread. Add the “Butch and Sundance” - which is their take on parsnip and carrot fries - as a side with some guacamole, and you have a perfect meal. Grandma Rose, their hazelnut cake, is served warm and with vegan ice cream. Tasty! Our meat-eating friends confirmed that the meat dishes were fantastic too.
Furthermore, the vibes are good. Mones Lime Mountain Saloon’s interior is comfortable. There are wooden benches on its covered terrace and dark-wooden tables on the inside. The decoration is distinctly wild west, including a buffalo skull on the wall and a gallow hanging at the bar. The owners, a funky couple, know how to host: very friendly, attentive and laid-back.
Mones is wheelchair accessible; however, the bathroom can only be accessed by foot (and cane). Special mention of one particular evening we spent there with some visitors: One of the many costs to me of the accident is an uncontrollable bladder. We had almost finished when I suddenly received a call of nature (number 1). I managed to discretely alert Claire who wheeled me to (just outside) the bathroom. Some delay or another meant I had less time to prepare myself than I'd thought and, one thing lead to another, I was standing inside the main bathroom door with Claire; boxers and jeans (already wet) at my ankles, going for it. Claire managed to manoeuvre us to the cubicle where I finished, but most of what was in me, was all over the unsuspecting floor, which a staff member, who walked in while Claire was busy cleaning up my mess, sorted with minimal fuss. The discretion was such that I doubt if our guests were any the wiser, and worthy, alone, of the number 1 (pardon the expression) slot, but it's genuinely everything Claire said with a nice selection of beers.
2. Mora Mora
High above the city, at the Kalkberg, is Mora Mora. If it wasn’t for the view, you’d almost think you were in Dublin or Hamburg. This place is urban (see picture).
The menu includes a few tasty-sounding vegetarian dishes. Yet, both of us settled for the vegan Thai curry. Declan had bruschetta with Pfifferlinge as starter. Yum, and how does Bailey’s Bowl for dessert sound?
This restaurant is only accessible to those that can take 5 steps (there are handrails). The entrance was nothing to me. Just to add, booking this place is more difficult for the wheelchair bound. This is because there are some spots around the bar, which I haven't had the pleasure of trying. Those include a bar-stool, which I would need some help to get to, but, for those without the use of a pair of legs, they are simply unavailable.
3. The Restaurant at the Vitalia Hotel
That view: in summer! The Vitalia Hotel is located at Bad Segeberg’s big lake and the restaurant’s terrace overlooks the lake. The food isn’t too shabby either. The last time, we had food at their Restaurant, called Seeblick, I had vegetable quiche, which came out piping hot, obviously freshly prepared.
Their seasonal fruit tarts are something else: so buttery. In contrast to all other restaurants mentioned in this article, the restaurant at the Vitalia is a little bit more expensive (e17 – e20 for a vegetarian main dish, e9 for dessert) but worth it.
This is a great place to go to for a wheelchair sitter. There are no steps to get in. Nor is there any steps to negotiate, while you navigate to the bathroom, which is perfectly laid out for the likes of me.
4. Cafe Spindel
It took us some weeks to get a table at Cafe Spindel, and when we did, we weren't disappointed.
Cafe Spindel has a relatively small menu. There are basically two veggie dishes. The day we visited they didn’t have the spinach quiche, but they had rolled Flammkuchen with goat’s cheese (to those not familiar with Flammkuchen: it’s similar to a pizza but without the tomato sauce and made from bread dough.)
The desserts were pretty good (our fellow diners had the blueberry pancakes, which looked incredible but would have fed a small child for a week; next time, we’ll leave room). The staff is very friendly, natural, helpful.
We went again last night! They had some spinach quiche, which we both went for. I started with the Bruchetta and it was as nice as you might expect. The spinach quiche, served with side-salad is tip top. We also both had the apple (must not have been any blueberries left) pancakes with vanilla ice-cream. I was stuffed after that.
The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. Didn’t test the bathroom on either occasion
5. Fedula
If you fancy pizza, Fedula’s your place. This is a traditional Italian restaurant in Bad Segeberg that serves – arguably – the town’s best pizza. The dough is nice and soft, yet crisp. There’s no shortage of tomato sauce and the pizzas aren’t overloaded with cheese. We can also recommend the gnocchi in gorgonzola sauce.
The “free” starter of a slice of bruschetta is a nice touch. They must be mad not wanting to cash in on

The “free” starter of a slice of bruschetta is a nice touch. They must be mad not wanting to cash in on
bigger starters.
Not having one is wise though, for the tiramisu (their sole dessert next to ice cream) is near perfect.
We finish this top 5 list with a limoncello and a cheers!
It would be a mistake not to mention the dessert, I just realised that Claire did not forget, but I'll repeat anyway. There doesn't appear to be much of a dessert selection but the tiramisu is thee most delicious that I've ever tasted. Just to finish, the outside, covered seating is a winner, especially suitable for a wheelchair.
*Restaurant am Ihlsee deserves a mention. We enjoy going to the restaurant not just because of its close proximity to the clinic, but because of the great atmosphere, tasty food and super nice staff. It just doesn’t cater that well for vegetarians.
