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






Sometimes less truly is more: fresh trout from Schleswig-Holstein, marinated only with salt, herbs, and garlic, then gently cooked in baking paper. Served with a refreshing potato–cucumber salad featuring dill and mustard, plus a horseradish12–herb cream with chopped egg. Fresh, delicate, northern.
Melted goat cheese on hearty bread, with honey and walnuts adding the perfect lift. On the side: beetroot, cranberries, and lamb’s lettuce for freshness.
Modern, relaxed, delicious.
A rich cream soup made from roasted shellfish, sea fish, and vegetables. Refined with a dash of brandy and butter, served with pumpernickel dumplings filled with herb cream cheese and delicately pickled root vegetables.
Intense, savoury, full-bodied.
That’s what comfort food tastes like: a clear soup full of vegetables, chicken and duck, slowly simmered for deep, rich flavour. With noodles, tender pulled meat, and of course those golden “fat pearls” on top.
Honest, hearty, warming.
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!
Juicy Heifer Rump Steak 220gr.
Fresh and dried mushrooms sautéed with onions and root vegetables, then simmered slowly with tomato, red wine, and vegetable stock. Potatoes, fine-cut sauerkraut, peppers, and spices join in; black pepper and a hint of chili give the final kick. Served with a homemade sourdough yeast dumpling with toasted rye bread – the perfect match.
Rustic, warming, good.
The first culinary messenger of spring: tender, juicy lamb, marinated in yogurt for full aroma, infused with fine herbs and warm spices that add depth and gentle warmth. A subtle fruity sweetness lingers – thoughtfully interpreted in a Northern German style. Served with golden roasted baby potatoes and crisp vegetables with spicy beef sausage2,12,14, rosemary and garlic – savory and full of character.
Tender, aromatic, full of spring.
Delicate matjes fillets, mild and tender, served with a creamy housewife-style2,9 sauce, where apple, onion and dill come together in a fresh, lightly tangy harmony. Accompanied by a warm baked potato, crisp salad leaves
and fine onion rings.
Fresh, delicate, Nordic.
Crispy fried wild garlic bratwurst12, nicely browned on the outside and juicy on the inside, served on creamy mashed potatoes with a generous knob of butter slowly melting into it. Topped with sweet braised onions and accompanied by grandma’s cucumber salad with dill and sour cream.
Hearty, juicy, well-balanced.
Slow-braised pork goulash, tender and juicy, rich in depth and perfectly seasoned: paprika, a hint of mustard12, a delicate tang from pickled gherkins2,9, and the earthy aroma of porcini mushrooms. Served with a large potato dumpling, lightly crisped in herb crumbs on the outside and soft on the inside – just right for soaking up all that sauce.
Rich, hearty, comforting.
The classic dessert from Northern Germany – and everyone has their own twist
Ours features whole redcurrants, blackberries and raspberries nestled in a velvety strawberry sauce. On the side? A scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and freshly whipped cream.
That’s all you need – well, maybe a spoon.
Creamy quark-poppy cream with cardamom, baked in a Weck jar until silky smooth. Served with pear, cherry, and cranberries gently cooked in elderberry juice. Topped with crunchy cinnamon pastry, a spoon of reduced condensed milk, and icy mandarin sorbet. Warm & cold, sweet & fresh – instantly addictive. Sweet, cozy, wintery-good.
