My husband and I absolutely enjoyed our dinning experience at HYGGE. Everything from the service to…read morethe food to the atmosphere was satisfying. I had the venison with celery root purée. It was perfectly cooked. Our server was charming and sweet. We were pleasantly surprised with our first dinning experience in Germany.

I was dying for carpaccio, which is hard to come by in the Midwest, U.S. so after being turned away…read moreat Edmundo across the street (we didn't have a reservation), we stumbled onto this gem. Owner was helpful, highlighting the substantial list of specials from an already good-sized menu and one in our party did have the lasagne from the list. But I was a woman on a mission. The carpaccio, was sliced fresh (I saw him through the window as we sat at a table outside) and was everything I remember from my last trip to central EU. Blanketed with arugula, drizzled with a nice olive oil and balsamic reduction, and lightly sprinkled with pepper, it was the delicious treat I hoped for. Beer selection is small (a local Pilsner and a German Hefeweizen), and I had the latter that paired well. The third in our party had a delicious looking salad with prosciutto on top with the Pilsner and enjoyed it. We also tried the gluwein, which I haven't enjoyed in the States as it's too sweet for me, but this wasn't. It had more of a cinnamon-forward hot winter sangria vibe (LOL) and was quite yummy. Seating is limited to 3-4 tables outside, a few more inside but there is a larger upstairs dining area. We closed the place down at ~6:00 not knowing it was primarily a lunch place. To those lucky folks who work in downtown Hamburg- "Prost" and "Salute"!

I had eaten here several years ago and really liked the food, the atmosphere, and I also felt…read moreprices wer good for what they served back then. Returned this year, and felt the experience was really a mixed bag now. If you go, a couple of tips: First of all, get them to seat you in the cozy inner part. We had a 'view' of carelessly placed plastic crates and spare outdoor chairs in the narrow aisle with a window front. Secondly, ask them what the dishes are that you are ordering. We e.g. ordered sardines, expecting something they would cook themselves, and they then actually served an openend tin of sardines in oil with a few onions. For 22€. Some other dishes were delicious, others 'good', but prices were high throughout. Service wasn't very attentive. To sum it up - I am happy to pay the prices, but then I want an experience to go along with it. It has gotten a lot easier to make reservations than it used to here, and the place wasn't full on a Saturday night, so it might be others have noticed too that there's a mismatch.
