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





from the Altes Land region, roasted in the oven until perfectly crisp. Served with spiced red cabbage12 marinated for five days with winter herbs and lingonberries, a fruity-tart roast gravy, and a baked apple filled with Lübeck marzipan and raisins.
On the side: a large potato dumpling2,12, tossed in browned butter and breadcrumbs.
Festive, crispy, gloriously rich.
Thinly sliced duck breast, smoky and tender, meets fresh lamb’s lettuce and sweet-tart lingonberries. Served with a sweet-and-sour pumpkin–quince compote, spiced vegetables, and just a touch of chili.
Refined, Nordic, delicious.
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 – Wintry, savory, and well-rounded.
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.
Our salmon fillet is first seared hot in the pan, then glazed with pepper, pumpkin seeds and a hint of apricot jam. Served with creamy mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts with nutmeg, crisp broccoli with cherry tomatoes and flaxseed, and a fine white wine–pumpkin sauce.
Northern, clear & honest – that’s the taste of the sea.
Spelt and porcini mushrooms slowly simmer together until rich in flavour yet pleasantly firm – risotto, northern style. Topped with oven-roasted pumpkin, plenty of herbs and thistle oil1, plus beetroot, cinnamon and pomegranate.
Wholesome, colourful and full of flavour.
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.
Baked potato with smoked salmon, cucumber–dill cream & lamb’s lettuce
Tender slices of cold-smoked salmon meet fresh cucumber–dill cream with a splash of lemon. Served with a large baked potato and crisp lamb’s lettuce – fresh, savoury, and truly Nordic.
Down-to-earth. Regional. Really good.
Königsberger meatballs with caper sauce, mashed potatoes & beetroot salad
Two hearty meatballs, gently simmered in broth, served on creamy mashed potatoes with a tangy caper sauce1 and a side of fresh beetroot salad.
Classic. Hearty. Properly Nordic.
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.
Our caramel cream sets gently in a jar, with a hint of bitter almond. On top: pears steeped in red wine and winter spices – pure Christmas flavour. Finished with crumbled coconut macaroons and a scoop of white chocolate ice cream.
Sweet, cozy, just right for the Christmas season.
