A foggy November night in a cozy Spanish-German atmosphere with delicious food, wine, and company.
Hüxstraße 42, 23552 Lübeck
I had the following that I can recommend:
1️⃣ Starter: leafy salads | Three kinds of pumpkin
2️⃣ Main course: rump steak tagliata | Chimichurri | Brussels sprout leaves | Pointed peppers | Small potatoes
3️⃣ Desert: port wine
The wine list and the selected wines were also a real delight:
1️⃣ Pinot Meunier Brut “Zero Dosage” from Schädler-Steffen Mugler, Pfalz, 2022
2️⃣ Chardonnay “La Combe Desroches” from Bret Brothers/ La Soufrandière, Burgundy, 2015
3️⃣ Port Wine “Six Grapes”, Reserve Ruby from Graham’s, Portugal
The owner was amazingly friendly.
I can recommend the restaurant VAI without reservation, because everything was very delicious!
Thank you!

Delicious food – really perfect service and great balance on price-performance! If you’re looking for an amazing Italian experience, just book and have a great evening! Strongly suggest to come over. But don‘t forget: you need to reserve a table! Ciao!

We had dinner at Vai in Lübeck yesterday. My wife ordered the seabass with prawns, but the prawns were raw. We informed the waiter, who took the plate away and did apologize.
However, the same plate was returned within two minutes, with the prawns still raw and clearly unchanged. After pointing this out again, a new plate was served with properly cooked prawns.
By then, I had almost finished my meal, which took away from the experience of dining together. No further gesture or compensation was offered.
In addition, the restaurant was very loud, making it difficult to have a normal conversation. While the apology was appreciated, the handling of the situation fell short of what we would expect.

Around lunchtime and this place is full, an hour later guests starts to go away. If you haven’t booked a table this is your chance for a fantastic meal!

When we decided to have dinner at Restaurant Vai we had checked their homepage and was interested in the 3 course menu at the price of 50 euros. We were surprised when we sat at the table and looked through the menu once again. It said 69 euros for the 3 course menu. A bit of a difference. Anyway we took the 3 course menu and hoped for something nice.
We had at first a sallad (Blattsalate mit kohlrabbicarpaccio und ziegenkäsecreme) which really wasn´t anything special. Then the doradenfilet & scampi. Didn´t taste much and seemed quite ordinary. The dessert was crème brûlée which was super disappointing. We´ve had crème brûlée many, many times before in other restaurants. It seemed as it had been prepared by an amateur. First of all it was ice cold including the crème under the surface. No traces of vanilla what so ever. Totally tasteless. The chef should really be ashamed to serve a crème brülée like this. We had four glasses of wine to go with the menu and when we got the tab we noticed that an extra 17,50 euro had been added as “trinkgeld”. We have visited several restaurants in Germany during the weeks before our visit in Lübeck and not once been charged “trinkgeld”. We felt that we were regarded as idiots here. We know very well that it´s customary to add “trinkgeld” if you are satisfied, but it is of course up to us as guests to decide the amount. In this case 10% was added by the restaurant. In my world 10% is the amount if you are very content with service and food. That was not the case for us. Adding “trinkgeld” like this is nothing else than cheating the guests. I can easily compare with a neighbour restaurant to Restaurant Vai on the opposite side of Hüxstrasse, Restaurant Miera. We had dinner there the night before. Really nice food and no adding on the tab. We did the adding ourselves by tipping the waiter directly. I think everyone should think twice about visiting this place with overpriced food and wines. There are other options nearby.

This place is an absolute delight of fine dining. Wonderful atmosphere and even better food in this small cosy restaurant. The set menu was amazing on all accounts, presentation, taste and quality of ingredients. The wine menu is extensive and offers high quality choices.
There is an option for a la carte and they have a good deal for lunch. In summer they have a lovely garden in the back.
An absolute recommendation for a fancy meal.

Nice little restaurant with a very friendly staff. A little disappointed with our dishes considering earlier reviews. For some reason this restaurant requires a tip.
