NORTH GERMAN
KITCHEN
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.
Kale, hand-torn and washed, cooked down with onions, oats and a hearty smoked broth, finished with a touch of mustard – that’s it! Served with a proper Holstein smoked sausage and golden-brown fried potatoes dusted with a pinch of sugar.
Rustic, traditional, hearty.
As Hamburg as it gets: a homemade Rundstück filled with tender game ragout of venison, roe deer and root vegetables. Topped with red cabbage salad, lingonberries, mustard pickle, and mustard mayo.12 Juicy, hearty, perfectly rounded.
Fresh pasta tossed in a robust ragout of lentils, sun-ripened tomatoes, red wine, spices, and vegetables. Honest cooking, beautifully balanced – just right when you want uncomplicated goodness.
Satisfying, juicy, harmonious.
A yellow bell pepper generously filled with minced meat (half pork, half beef), onions, and bread – cooked until perfectly juicy. Served with savoury tomato rice and a mild, slightly tangy roasting jus that ties everything together. Hearty, rustic, 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.
