Cute little soup place in the middle of hip Schanze in Hamburg. A few tables outside but inside…read moreonly standing bars / tables with not enough bar stools. They have a selection of weekly and monthly soups that smell and taste good. Be it German Gulasch, coconut soup or afrikan lentil. It is well priced. The staff is friendly but all in all this was nothing mind blowing.

When I worked on Schulterblatt, this was our spot for lunch at least twice a week! Our diet plan…read morewas to eat more soup and salad so that we could avoid all those hearty carbs, such as the juicy hamburgers and thick cut pommes that can be found at the Bullerei. The only catch is that they have this extremely delicious bread that goes perfectly dunked into any which soup you choose but I adore the creamier options, so you end up eating more bread than soup that ruined our diet regimen, haha! If you are going to splurge on high calorie soup and endless dipping bread, please come here, it is delicious. The shop is a bit small, so if you plan to sit down during lunch rush you may find it a bit crowded as the inside has one bar to sit near the window and an outdoor bench style park table that seats comfortable 4 people. Its friendly, quick, uncomplicated and tasty. Typically more of a lunch type soup shop!

A little find on the search for hot food for lunch…read more Small establishment with eat in available and also takeaway. I opted for takeaway. My first venture I decided for to try the vegetarian peanut curry. This was served with rice and very tasty with not a piece of Tofu in sight (not that it said there was which is why I opted for it). My second visit (the very next day) I went for Thai soup with soup really being their focus (hence the name!!). Having remembered me from the previous day, they were ahead of me with my requirements. Notably, they do have a good range of soups available and even give calorie details for them! Only down side for this restaurant is that there is no English menu. I looked them up and translated what I wanted from their website and then went to order. Whilst their English was very good, I wouldn't want them to have to run through the menu for me. However, this is typical of Hamburg at the moment, I'm hoping one day for more English menus to be available in restaurants/cafes. I had assumed that I would have to warm the soup up when I got back to the office as I tend to find takeaway hot food is not really so hot! But no! The soup was piping hot still which was great. It did slow my eating somewhat, but in a good way! and they give a little bread roll to help soak up the last bits. Service was quick so queue does go down quickly if you encounter this. I'm very pleased with this discovery.

Have I not reviewed Souply?! Ahhh, I discovered Souply by trekking through the ginormous Hambuger…read moreMeile. Before I even begin my review I have to say that I love Souply so so much! I love Souply because they were there to comfort me during a time of California homesickness, when all I wanted was a big bowl of piping hot pho. Anyways, Souply is actually located in the mall. Yes, an awesome Vietnamese restaurant IN THE MALL. Hallelujah. They have everything here from pho, to bun, to spring rolls. My favorite thing here is the bun with beef. It's so good and they don't hold back on the peanuts either. The portions are big, but the prices are a bit higher than usual too. I think the pho could use a bit more beef but I'm just being picky. It's a completely decent casual restaurant and I plan on coming back a lot.

I've had Vietnamese dishes 10 times better than this one, but I've got to accept the value for money in this case is really good. FOOD: Not the best, but taste is good and quantity as well. I like the food enough to come back and I really like how healthy and clean it is. There is not much variety, but in this case it comes as an advantage considering the fact that if you are in the middle of a shopping day you are probably not looking for a proper restaurant with lots of dishes and long waiting times. They have enough to properly represent Vietnamese cuisine: pho, bun, summer rolls, I mean, what else do you need? Also, for all peanut lovers..... they are pretty generous with these (brownie points!!) SERVICE: They lost some points here. I haven't had a single occasion in which the service is good which is a pity. I mean it doesn't matter how good the food is, but a smile here and there could really improve the experience of eating here. LOCATION: I first discovered Souply during my first shopping day in Hamburger Meile. I was quite hungry as it was almost lunch time, and it was a no brainer to eat here, especially after comparing to all the other options available in the mall. So yes! You can enjoy a tasty and healthy meal and continue with all your shopping and all your errands, all in one place! Also, there's a Sparkasse right in front, which I find quite convenient as I never carry cash with me.

We stopped…read moreby on a cold, Sunday night to grab some takeout and at first I rued my decision because the shop was so empty, all its plastic furniture devoid of warm human bodies, tile reflecting back only the atrocious fluorescent lighting. However! The girl at FOH was incredibly nice and didn't bat an eye when we asked for no cilantro (lame right) in our soup. We got the spring rolls, the spicy veggie noodle soup, and my partner the coconut curry. Almost everything is veggie/vegan friendly, and my soup was SO good, exactly the mix of spicy and sour I wanted on a cold, gray night. The spring roll peanut sauce was also delicious and not too salty, and I was fairly full from the noodle soup that I saved a roll for the next day. The food was out in fifteen minutes, and it was nice to eat at home, although I'd probably brave the emptiness of the restaurant and dine in next time for the noodle soup - I think it would have been even better if I'd let them have a chance to actually stew all the ingredients together for a bit. All in all, great neighborhood find and very student friendly!

In a one week business trip to Hamburg, I ate green lovers four times: once with a coworker, once…read moreas catering for a team meeting, and twice on my own. So I guess you could say I'm a fan of this place! And I'm clearly not the only fan, as there was a lunch line every time I visited (various times between noon and 1:30). But not to worry, the line moves quite fast and you'll be eating lunch before you know it. There are various salad and soup options available, or you can create a custom salad by pointing at ingredients at the counter. I quickly learned how to say the various parts of my order in German (mixed salad, egg, beans, corn, mushrooms, tomato, parmesan cheese, balsamic dressing), though most of the staff is pretty fluent in English. Visiting from SF where a custom lunch salad can easily cost $14, the prices here (around 5-8 euros for a custom salad, depending on what you put in it) seem very reasonable. There's some indoor seating but it's pretty packed at lunch, so you may want to plan to take your meal elsewhere. Though if you do manage to get a seat and are dining alone, not to worry, they have free wi-fi! Healthy, fresh, fast, and reasonably priced, this is a great antidote to the heaviness and grease typically associated with German food.

I was surprised to see a concept like green lovers here in Hamburg. It reminded me of Mixt Greens…read morein San Francisco. The menu includes suggested salads, a make-your-own salad option, soups, and panini. All of the salads are made fresh when you order. I went with the falafel veggie salad special they had advertised on the counter with the green lovers dressing (herbs, lemon, olive oil). It had a great balance of ingredients and a nice hummus on top. Definitely a fan. Service was also surprisingly friendly despite the lunch rush. Again, other than that whole ordering in German part, I felt like I had just walked through a portal to Mixt Greens in downtown SF. The only downside is that the space is a little tight and is pretty much packed by 12:30pm. If you'd like a place to sit and don't mind getting bumped into every so often, I'd aim for right before noon and stick to parties of 2. The line always moves fast and they offer takeout, so that could be a good plan B if you happen to arrive after half of Hamburg's workforce has.
