The story
Sansibar, at Hörnumer Straße 80 in Rantum on Sylt, runs an international, seasonal kitchen in the dunes, a few steps from the beach. The Schlemmer Atlas awarded it 3.5 Kochlöffel for 2026.
The Schlemmer Atlas describes a menu that runs from caviar to Kaiserschmarrn. A daytime card is served from 12:00 to 17:30, and an evening card takes over until 23:00. The house also sells its own fig mustard and vinegars, and a Weinhalle in Rantum stocks bottles to take home.
The cellar holds around 2,000 wines, and the Michelin Guide lists Sansibar as Recommended for 2026. Several open pours are "Only Sansibar" bottlings, among them a Grauburgunder from Markus Schneider in the Pfalz and a Lugana from Tenuta Roveglia. At the serious end, the list reaches Bordeaux, including a 2018 Cos d'Estournel.
