I know why everyone recommends Frau Möller! Well deserved!…read more A bit gruff and very crowded at lunch, but for good reason. Ice cold delicious beer and hot authentic local German food. Our waitress was fluent in English and made us feel welcome in a "so you're not from around her, but that's okay, sit here" kind of way.... Very pleasant! The beer was plentiful and ice cold, and we had the Wienerschnitzel (I know... cliché, but oh so good!), and it came out fast, hot and delicious. Also, for French Fries fans... these were thin, hot and crispy! (Not a big fan of soft fries/chips). Right near the train station for a meal before you travel, or while you're waiting to check into your hotel. We'll be back!

I arrived in Hamburg and wanted to stay close to my hotel for dinner. I came across Opitz, a very…read morenice and what appears to be traditional German restaurant and gave it a try. The atmosphere is cozy traditional. It's down a few steps from the street level and you enter a somewhat dark, candle lit dining area. The tables and seating seem to be an eclectic collection that work well together. My server was prompt and I ordered a "Jever" pilsner beer to start. She brought over an English menu and made some suggestions. I took her suggestion for "Pork medallions with button mushrooms ala creme and fried potatoes". This was three thick slices of pork tenderloin. This and the potatoes were delicious and a very generous portion. Enough for two meals, but I ate it all anyway. :) I wanted a somewhat traditional German-style meal and I believe that I got it. :) Cheers.

High quality, delicious meat and sides. I ordered the rinderbraten oder (salted beef) with gravy,…read morered cabbage, and krout. Each plate (you can choose large or normal sized) come with two sides. The choices are side salad, mashed or diced potatoes, red cabbage, and krout. The red cabbage and krout were sweeter than most I've tried. I particularly enjoyed the krout and was told it's both "sour and sweet" krout. There are also three types of mustard: süß (meaning sweet, seemed like a honey mustard), and scharf (meaning sharp, very strong) and mittel-scharf (meaning medium-sharp, still very strong).

Yum! One of the better values since I've been in Hamburg…read more I got the Schweinebraten (roast pork. DAT SKIN DOE.), mashed potatoes, and sauerkraut. You can either get a small or large portion, though there wasn't too big of a difference between the two. The small seems to be good enough. They spoke English here. :) DAS GOOT.

This place is hard to review. The vibe and the atmosphere weree 4.5 *'s - as other reviewers have…read moresaid, it's a pleasantly unpretentious place. The food was about 2 *'s and it's definitely a case of quality over quantity. I got currywurst - the curry sauce tasted bottled, and the sausage wasn't well cooked. My kids got schnitzel and they said it was "mid". Honestly I think German food kind of caps out at 4 *'s - there's only so much you can do with boiled potatoes and kraut and sausages.

Another fantastic meal!…read more Third time here and as good as the first time. Switched it up and tried the roast beast. Did not disappoint. Downed it with a delicious Pils and tippier it off with an Apple Pancake. Laid back but friendly vibe. Looking forward to visit #4!

3.5 stars The Restaurant im Sprinkenhof is a charming,…read moreold-fashioned restaurant offering traditional Hamburg food. Seafood plays a big role in the cuisine of this North German city, and the Hamburger Tapas came with three toasted baguette slices, each with a different topping: smoked salmon with horseradish, pickled herring, and my favorite, North Sea crab salad in a creamy dressing. Another classic (and unique) dish of the region is known as Labskaus, made with salted beef puréed with beets, topped with a fried egg with a runny yolk, and served with sliced beets and a pickle. The puréed meat was served warm and had a distinct pink color from the beets, but was otherwise not a particularly outstanding culinary creation. The service here, while warm and friendly, was inexplicably slow, and our simple dishes took quite a long time to be prepared.

Everything was very good, but my favorite items were the potatoes with onions and bacon. I wish that I could find a source for that side dish in the New York area. There are a limited number of tables - but you never feel hurried to leave - we sat for quite some time. Like may restaurants in Hamburg, they do not accept credit cards.
