3.5 stars The Restaurant im Sprinkenhof is a charming,…read moreold-fashioned restaurant offering traditional Hamburg food. 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.

I am going to go ahead and give this place five stars. I'd be tempted to dock them one star due to…read morethe exorbitant pricing but to be honest, it's almost worth it. Yes, they are expensive and even more importantly, yes you knew this coming here. If you really think you are going to see this menu and not find it expensive then you shouldn't be here in the first place. Now, on to the food. Great, great steaks. Presented as steaks should be.....raw and on a platter for you to choose your cut. I had the ribeye (400g) which had a perfect blend of fat and meat and ordered it medium rare as quality meat should be cooked. Perfect.....not one complaint and I finished almost every last scrap of this cut, which very smartly came out on a hot plate......dislike when they don't do this with larger cuts as it cools off too quickly before you can finish it. The sides were just as good. We had the spinach, the beans with bacon and the steamed vegetables. Perfect.....everything just as I like it. Service is also top notch. We did seem to constantly have different people coming to the table...one for orders of starters, one for the order of drinks (bottles of wine in our case), one who brought the first course and so forth. Yet, everyone was super nice. Really liked this. One side note......and this is not meant negatively. I ordered some barbecue sauce to try it with the meat. This barbecue sauce was horrendous. I absolutely hated it. Yet, it doesn't mean it was bad. It just wasn't my style and I talked with the guy who seems to run this place about this. I very clearly told him I hated it but it didn't interfere with my meal at all. I was lucky I didn't pour it over my steak. One tip: simply keep the sauces on the side and try them before drenching your steak in them. You may love them. I didn't. Finally, if someone isn't going to eat steaks don't come here with them. My g/f for example doesn't eat steaks. Hence she won't be seeing the inside of Butchers. Don't get me wrong....I'd love to take her here but it's a waste. If someone isn't into meat, leave them at home and come here with your buddies......or preferably invited by someone with an expense account (as was my case!)

One of the best steakhouses I've been to and certainly the best I've been to in Hamburg…read more I had a Carpaccio with pumpkin pesto, rucola and parmesan as a starter, a 200g (ladies cut) filet as the main course with a side of green beans and bacon. For dessert, a plate of chocolate mousse and brownies, garnished with red fruits. A two-person meal dealt damage of about 150 euros. Considering how much I enjoyed my food, not a large price to pay. Certainly not a cheap restaurant (the starters alone are close to 20 euros a plate, the 200g filet was 35 euros, the dessert 12) but well suited for a once-in-a-while indulgence. Recommended for those who like meat and aren't afraid to get creative with their eating.

This restaurant was on the list of recommendations from the hotel I was staying at, which was the Renaissance Hamburg Hotel.

I had asparagus and ricotta ravioli and it was absolutely delicious. I'm not a huge fan of asparagus but it's asparagus season right now so it was fresh and delicious. In addition the ravioli was hand made earlier and was extremely fresh and just melted in your mouth. Without a doubt some of, if not, the best ravioli I've ever had. Would highly recommend visiting here if in Hamburg (just make sure you go to the right one) and I plan to come back. Also as a note they had an English menu which was extremely helpful!

The schnitzel and the fish were something both of us really wanted to try seeing schnitzel is a traditional German dish that's a must have and everyone here recommended we try fish while in Hamburg. We tried eating schnitzel at another place but it was way too over seasoned so we couldn't even eat half of it. Let's just say we at every single crumb off of that schnitzel and every bit of the fish as well. Let's just say, though we walked out of there after paying a hefty bill, our tummies were very happy.

We were particulary suprised by the food itself which was well prepared, seasoned and arranged on the plate. All flavours came in nicel together once you bit into the juicy burger. Despite being on the main street within the hearth of hamburg it unfortunatelly still misses english version of menu. Menu itself could also be more intuitive with better description of the food, and allergens in containts. Lastly, just brief visit of toilets should be left for the very end, unless you want to continue eating your food after what you have seen.

I walked the streets for over an hour finding this place and working up my appetite. Upon entering,…read moreI saw a bustling, too busy for words or greetings staff doing what needed to be done to satisfy the already packed house. But then... appeared in the doorway between the bar and the first small dining room, a middle aged man with herring bone rimmed glasses and a chef's stature, looking like he belonged. Our eyes met and I moved slowly closer to him to question if they were still serving. (fear set in that it was after nine on a Saturday night with a packed house they would tell me they are out of food). The gentleman introduced himself as Sven, the owner and chef and pointed to a small table they obviously squeezed in for single diners like myself. A woman server quickly set the table, seated me and handed me tonight's menu. Hand written (by Sven himself) in German, I struggled to grasp just one dish to be recognizable. NOT! When the server returned, I asked her what alphabet this menu was written in? She said the chef writes the menu every night in his own handwriting, and she proceeded to read and translate in English the offerings of the night. All sounded incredibly creative and amazing, so my reply was, "what is everyone raving about tonight?" She suggested the Pepper Steak on a bed of Navy, Lima and Green beans. And the Swordfish Carpaccio. I asked her to wine pair the best of what was 'by the glass' and that she did. An Italian Rosé with the Carpaccio and a Portuguese Cabernet Sauvignon with the Steak. A whole lot more action and another glass of wine occurred and wow, oh wow what an amazing culinary and night on the town with Sven unfolded. I could go on and on here... it was my last night in Hamburg which is why I opted to dine in the best I could find. Well it turned out to be Sven's last night as he was 'moving on' (not retiring) but just done with this chapter of his life. Upon finishing my main course, Sven politely joined me at my table and told me his story of how he started the restaurant 33 year's ago. He pulled a delightful older man close to him and began kissing his bald head and telling me how much he loved this man. The man had been with the restaurant for 28 years as the kitchen coordinator/dishwasher/busboy and all 'round go-to man behind the scenes. It was obviously an emotional moment for both these guys. Sven gestured to the bartender to pour me another glass of wine (on the house) and continued his story about how the German government offers a €100,000 tax deduction if you've started a business and sell it at age 55. Sven proceeded to invite me out on the town with him for a few more drinks in the St. George district where he knew all the local pubs and lots and lots of people. He even walked me to the train station to make sure I got on the right train back to my hotel. Anyway... so much more to this story... Bottom line... I'm sure the quality of food coming out of this kitchen will sustain because the staff obviously loved Sven and were sad to see him go. The understudies in the kitchen are apparently who bought the restaurant and planned on changing nothing. I hope I run into Sven again someday... maybe in Portugal or the Azores!

Best. Schnitzel. Ever…read more This was my birthday dinner, and it was perfect. The restaurant is a bar and a room for roughly 24 people. No reservations. Waiting is standing room only. But it was worth it. Very much worth it. We both ordered the Schnitzel - since we did not want to share. Their wine selection is small but very good as well. I tried a few of their whites by the glass. Portions were perfect and the room was cheery and warm. Next time I will save room for dessert.
