I arrived in Hamburg and wanted to stay close to my hotel for dinner. I came across Opitz, a very…read morenice and what appears to be traditional German restaurant and gave it a try. The atmosphere is cozy traditional. It's down a few steps from the street level and you enter a somewhat dark, candle lit dining area. The tables and seating seem to be an eclectic collection that work well together. My server was prompt and I ordered a "Jever" pilsner beer to start. She brought over an English menu and made some suggestions. I took her suggestion for "Pork medallions with button mushrooms ala creme and fried potatoes". This was three thick slices of pork tenderloin. This and the potatoes were delicious and a very generous portion. Enough for two meals, but I ate it all anyway. :) I wanted a somewhat traditional German-style meal and I believe that I got it. :) Cheers.

The bowl portion came with an entire smoked sausage and was a large portion. The rump steak was as good as it can be. The beef remoulade was not rolled but thin sliced cold beef served with some onions and a mild horse radish sauce. My companion enjoyed the herring plate. Four types of herring. All served with fried potatoes family style.

You can see this place has the dark, wooden decor and is rather small inside. However, the schnitzel was served hot and the taste was authentic "German." The fried potatoes were loaded with bacon and onions and were also served hot. Of course, I had a nice German Pils to top it all off with.

Seafood plays a big role in the cuisine of this North German city, and the Hamburger Tapas came with three toasted baguette slices, each with a different topping: smoked salmon with horseradish, pickled herring, and my favorite, North Sea crab salad in a creamy dressing. Another classic (and unique) dish of the region is known as Labskaus, made with salted beef puréed with beets, topped with a fried egg with a runny yolk, and served with sliced beets and a pickle. The puréed meat was served warm and had a distinct pink color from the beets, but was otherwise not a particularly outstanding culinary creation. The service here, while warm and friendly, was inexplicably slow, and our simple dishes took quite a long time to be prepared.

The star of this hidden gem must be its lush terrace surrounded by park ... an absolute dream on a warm summer evening, and deservedly popular. The menu changes roughly monthly, it reads unassumingly almost, prices not too ambitious, but the execution of every single course was refined, flavorful, and spot on. Even the home-made bread they serve deserves special mention. Good list of open wines to accompany the food. Combine that with the friendly, personable team, and you immediately have to consider this one of the very top Elbvororte addresses. Will be back. Definitely.
