Zum Fischerhof sits directly on the shore of the Grienericksee, the lake on which Rheinsberg Palace was built as Frederick the Great's youthful residence, and specializes in dishes built around the lake's own fish stocks. Fried pike-perch (Zander), smoked fish, and trout prepared Müllerin-style (pan-fried with butter and lemon) are the kitchen's strengths, sourced from the same network of local lake fisheries that also supply Rheinsberg's small fishmongers.

The restaurant has direct lake access and outdoor seating that looks across the water toward the palace grounds, making it a natural stop for visitors combining a Rheinsberg Palace tour with a lakeside meal. Hours are reduced in the winter off-season, when Rheinsberg sees far fewer visitors than in the summer lake season.
