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







A small homemade meatballs (100 g), made half-and-half just like Mum used to make it, with soaked bread roll and finely diced onions, fried in clarified butter. Served with a mild potato and cucumber salad in a light mustard marinade.
Good food does not always need much. Finely sliced strips of German-style sausage6,12 with onions, vinegar, rapeseed oil, gherkins6,9,12, fresh parsley and a touch of mustard. Topped with colourful garden vegetables and served with hearty grey bread — simple and delicious.
Fruity beetroot strips with apple and chickpeas12, lightly dressed sweet and sour with a gentle hint of chilli. Topped with crumbled goat’s cheese and homemade sea buckthorn and apple compote2.
A slice of smoked salmon with sour cream and herbs, rolled in a thin pancake. Served with refreshing green sauce2,9, boiled egg and pickled green asparagus.
Perhaps the classic among German cakes: creamy cheesecake, baked until golden brown. Lemon, vanilla, quark and sour cream — what more could you need?
A refreshing summer soup with Northern German tradition, just like Grandma used to make. Made with sour cherries, a hint of clove and the secret star of the dish: little flour dumplings, known as Klüter. In the old days, they were counted very carefully — so nobody got too many.
Our HeimatLiebe in a jar is also available to enjoy at home. For the original Weck jar with lid, rubber ring and clips, we charge an additional €5.00 for take-away orders. The jar is then yours to keep and can be used again and again — for new favourite dishes, homemade treats or simply as a lovely piece of Heimat in your kitchen cupboard.
