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





We serve roasted pumpkin wedges with baby potatoes, sweet roots, and chestnuts – gently braised and richly seasoned. Fresh champignons and dried porcini add depth, while cherry tomatoes bring brightness and a hint of sweetness.
Topped with walnuts and plenty of fresh herbs, served with cold-stirred lingonberries and a generous drizzle of pumpkin seed oil – a true taste of Northern autumn.
And the best part: our fluffy potato dumplings2,12 are tossed in coarsely chopped pumpkin seeds. A perfect match!
Warm, savory, wonderful.
Tender ragout of regional game, slow-cooked with root vegetables, juniper, bay leaf, and red wine – a deep, aromatic classic full of forest flavor.
Finely marbled wild boar loin, pounded thin, breaded, and pan-fried in clarified butter – crispy outside, juicy inside.
Goat cheese medallions with a crisp, sweet crust of brown sugar.
Autumn brings it back to the table: our creamy soup made from local pumpkin, root vegetables, potatoes, and a hint of apple – gently sautéed, simmered in vegetable broth, puréed smooth, and seasoned to perfection.
Topped with toasted pumpkin seeds and a drizzle of Styrian pumpkin seed oil – autumnal, savory, and well-rounded.
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.
A rustic rye flatbread with sour cream, onions and leek – topped with smoky cured ham2,12 and tangy Deichkäse. We add roasted pumpkin and fresh lamb’s lettuce for good measure.
Vegetarian option? Of course – simply without the ham!
Hearty. Cozy. Northern style.
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 off the fishing boat and straight into the hot pan:
Delicate plaice fillets, lightly dusted in rye flour and pan-fried in butter until golden brown – finished with a squeeze of lemon pepper and lovage. Served with roasted baby potatoes in honey-mustard dressing and a refreshing cucumber salad with dill, onions and sour cream.
Northern, clear & honest – that’s the taste of the sea.
Our lentil patties are made with red lentils, sweet potato and plenty of vegetables – seasoned with herbs and spices like paprika, cumin and fenugreek. Served with a hearty ragout of potatoes, sweet potatoes, tomatoes and chickpeas, rounded off with smoky paprika. On top: fresh rocket and tangy marinated beetroot.
Colorful, filling & truly tasty.
A baked potato generously filled with our herby “Green Sauce”2,9 of parsley, chives, dill, sorrel, lemon, sour cream and egg. Served with two tender matjes herring fillets, lamb’s lettuce and red onions.
Rustic. Regional. Really good.
The North on a plate: potato–pumpkin salad with beans, pears and herbs. On top – a piece of crispy fried fish with dill remoulade. A true favorite on our menu – Traditional, but with that certain something.
Beef strips with green pepper12, mushrooms, zucchini & mashed potato–turnip
Tender beef, seared pink, in a savory sauce with mushrooms, zucchini, onions and green peppercorns. Served with a hearty mashed potato–turnip mix.
Northern. Honest. Juicy.
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.
A sweet finish just as it should be: skyr baked with pumpkin and warming spices like cinnamon, cardamom, clove and coriander – served warm in a jar. Topped with baked apple compote, golden butter caramel and crunchy oat crumble.
A spoonful of pure coziness.
