Walked all around Hamburg in moderately cold weather and by the time the end of the day rolled…read morearound, we were hangry, tired, and ready for some good comfort food. Wanting to really grasp the authenticity of our trip to Germany, we decided on German food. This restaurant is fairly close to Wunderland so if you're heading over there, definitely recommend stopping by! Typically you have to make a reservation but we were lucky and arrived at around 5:30 pm and scored a nice little table for 2 by the window. They were super sweet in giving us a simplified english menu, along with the normal german one. I desperately tried to understand the regular menu but it was tough for someone who literally only knows "danke" and can barely pronounce it correctly! I was really craving Schnitzel and Spaetzle but unfortunately they did not have any spaetzle so I went for Schnitzel or the breaded pork with a fried egg and fried potatoes. My friend got the Salmon with Taligatelle. I also ordered a lübzer pils (0.5L obviously) and my friend took a bottle of still water. the food was super quick to arrive and it was delicious! my pork was moist, juicy with the most perfectly cooked and fresh egg (very yummy compared to the ones you get in the US!) and the potatoes were unbelievably tasty! My friend's pasta was also very well seasoned and her salmon was buttery and fresh. The meal really blew us away and hit the spot. Service was a little slow since it packed up quickly and we were all the way in the corner but that's fine--I enjoy the leisure of getting to relax and enjoy dinner at our own pace! Don't forget, if you pay with a card, you should definitely tip some cash extra. 10% is customary for sit down restaurants and Das Kontor definitely deserved it! Danke!!

Super great food. Someone back there knows their way around the kitchen! Great service…read more Extremely friendly. Nice and reasonable lunch specials. Very nce atmophere; well decorated. Grab a bite when you are waiting for the Miniature Museum.

A typical corner bar. What differentiates them from many others is that it is now a "smoking club"…read more This means that to technically be here you have to become a "member". It's a Euro per year so if you want to smoke to your heart's content, well worth it. Nothing extraordinary here. A typical German "Kneipe". As a friend lives in the area and is a militant smoker, always the first stop for an evening of beers. You definately have a colorful mix of the "locals" here and although it's not an "in" place, you get your share of Ottensen's yuppies. It's a fun place though and tends to now be quite full as it is a smoker's hangout. If you enjoy your smoke first- or second-hand, worth checking out if in the area.

The Brückenstern is a lovely little bar/restaurant near the Astra-Stube, which is actually where I…read morewas intending to go but the concert was cancelled, so we popped in here instead. The first thing that stands out about this bar is the art that it's decorated with. It's all rather nice. Canvases everywhere, covered with thick bright paint. Also, there was an American guy playing the blues in one corner. The food looks like it would be good, but we just had drinks. At first we couldn't really tell what was on offer, so we just had Astra. Apparently they also have Duckstein though, so we moved onto that. The staff seemed pretty friendly, the only downside to the whole experience was that they were pretty inattentive. Both times we sat down it took them a good 5-10 minutes to notice us, and it's not like they were looking after anyone else

Lovely restaurant focused on Modern European cuisine.

The attention in the restaurant was top notch and the food was amazing. We had the tuna carpaccio and the beet with truffle carpaccio as the appetizers both of them were great and very fresh. As the main course I had the pappardelle with prawns and some curry, really good! And my fiancé had the goat cheese truffled gnocchi which was very tasty and beyond this world. For the dessert we shared the crème brûlée which not by surprise was amazing as well. Overall, I give it five stars because it deserves so, the only little thing I would change is that they only have menus in German. It would be nice if they add the English version even more so since they are in a very touristic attraction.
