We tried the menu on a Friday night paired with wines. I always try oysters when possible and these were great served with home made onion vinaigrette that had a bit of a kick. Biff was cooked to perfection.We sat on the lower floor where service was a little bit too relaxed but overall ok.

Incredibly inventive, delicious and satisfying dinner with work colleagues. Will definitely visit again. read more Incredibly inventive, delicious and satisfying dinner with work colleagues. Will definitely visit again.

Especially in this case. To prepare for city trips, I also always find suitable places. I was in the Slow Food Guide. So reserved by mail, then it was so far. First of all, to the location. It's really scenic in St. Pauli. We really realized that because we ran against the power. Everything was going to play, we to the Nile. We arrived here without prejudice, entered through the door shielded with a thick curtain and found us on the ground floor. There are three. Also the walk-in, here you can also find the treses, we sat on the first floor, practically in place with great view and there is still the basement, in the souterrain. Everything is kept in bistro style, nicely covered, simple tables, matching glasses and cutlery, fabric napkins, upscale gastronomy, simply styled. Feeling comfortable from the beginning. The card is small, but fine. It pays attention to regional and seasonal ingredients. And not just that. Together with the bread, oil and salt, my little cart will receive the payment of € 1.00 on the bill for the benefit of Hamburg's needy action Help Mahl. It's a great idea, especially since you can increase what we did at the end. So we were busy, looking with selection, wine, bread. And then the chosen appetizers came. As if there were: the small salad 6,50€ and the soothed hearts of the open-country hay 9,50€. While the salad was still frightened from the knife, as fresh as it was, the hearts represented a small sensation for me. Sharp seasoned, soft meat, extended by finely presented pieces of various still bite-resistant pieces of vegetables, it was an extremely successful entry. Everything framed by subtle, gorgeous Charleston? Music. We were looking forward to the main dishes, i.e. the lamb carree with ratatouille, shallots and ricotta 24,50€ and the entrecote with Coleslaw, sweet potato frits and homemade ketchup 24,00€. But that did not break the pleasure. A treat on the palate, pink meat, tender.... Very good! At Entrecote, my expectations were exceeded. Perfect meat, tasty ham, delicious roast flavor. The sweet potato fries a dream, crisp, fresh, sweet and also the homemade ketchup a pleasure. Easy, easy, fruity. Attention to the kitchen and thanks!

A culinary and gastronomic highlight. We like to come back. read more A culinary and gastronomic highlight. We like to come back.
