Menu-Restaurant Heimatliebe in the Alt Lohbrügger Hof hotel in Hamburg

Spars, Brood & Krüder

The royal vegetable served the classic way – as a delicate soup refined with cream and butter. Tender pieces of asparagus, fresh spring herbs, and a slice of house-baked sourdough bread with chives complete the dish. So simple. So good. So spring.

Homemade beef consommé, simmered for 8 hours from ribs, marrow bones, and root vegetables – rich in flavor and warming to the soul. Served with fine vegetable pieces, tender meat, and strips of pancake – just like in the old days, only better. It warms. It nourishes. It simply tastes really, really good.

Simple? Yes. But packed with bold, unforgettable flavor!
Holsteiner “Friesisch Blu” served on a fragrant strawberry-rhubarb compote, seasoned with lemon pepper and a touch of coffee oil3.
Topped with walnuts marinated in heathland honey and a pinch of blue fenugreek – for that special twist.
Unusual? Maybe. Unforgettable? Absolutely.

“Bowl” some say — “Schötel” in Hamburg

Not all salads are the same … Even our salad plate varies depending on what’s on offer. But what always remains the same is the large, colourful selection of dressed and undressed garden vegetables as well as various pulses and cereals. It’s really tasty as it is, but on top of that there are plucked leaf salads in a dressing made from herb vinegar, rapeseed oil and honey from the Lüneburg Heath. Served with roasted sunflower seeds and homemade garlic bread.

Our tender steak from the heifer is first seared and then slowly cooked to perfection. On top, crushed black pepper and fine sea salt flakes add the finishing touches to the meat. The steak rests on aromatic, browned onion rings – ready to be sliced! We serve it with a North German sweet and sour colourful bean salad and a crispy jacket potato with creamy chive curd.
When it comes to the sauce, you’ll be spoilt for choice: spicy, tangy steak sauce or the melt-in-the-mouth, aromatic herb butter!

The largest schnitzel here on the farm – it’s a real treat! 250 grams of tender pork loin are thinly plated by hand and breaded in home-grated breadcrumbs. It is then pan-fried in the traditional way in a large pan with clarified butter and fried until crispy and fluffy12. We serve it with our homemade, flavoursome remoulade sauce2,9,12 and a freshly prepared jacket potato salad in a light mustard dressing – refined with cucumber, crisp radishes and fresh herbs.

For us, one of the culinary highlights of the year! Our asparagus is freshly harvested from nearby fields – straight from the ground to our kitchen, with no detours. Then it’s simple: peel, cook, enjoy. Whether served traditionally with melted butter, with our hand-whisked hollandaise, or with our green sauce – refreshing, savory, and homemade with parsley, rapeseed oil, lemon, capers, and a hint of pickled gherkin. Fresh. Local. Pure asparagus season.
