Gasthaus Zur Post in Hamburg

Cute old building in HH Cranz with a terrace at the back on the Este. We were there for a delicious meal. Fresh and crispy, plus a friendly and very nice team. That only rarely happens anymore. We are looking forward to the warmer days and the garden.

Fabulous from the first moment. We had a wonderful stay with wonderful hosts. Eating in the in-house restaurant was the icing on the cake for us. Thank you!

Definitely recommended and an excellent place to eat.

Great service, friendly staff, very tasty cuisine in a rustic atmosphere. It's always worth a visit, it makes sense to make a reservation as it tends to be very crowded

Here you'll find the best stint in Hamburg and the nicest service. Great restaurant

Unfortunately you can only give 5 stars. The food is outstanding! I have rarely eaten fried potatoes as good as here. The fish is fresh and prepared to perfection. But the staff is almost even better. Attentive and always with a quick saying on his lips. We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the lovely evening

We'll be back! Great restaurant with a lot of heart and delicious food

Food top in taste and appearance! Very nice specialist staff! Again and again! Thanks for the nice day!

The food was excellent – ​​fresh, prepared with a lot of love and tasted to the point. The quality of the ingredients was clearly noticeable and the dishes were perfectly balanced. In addition, the service was extremely friendly and attentive. An all-round successful experience that I can recommend without reservation. I'll definitely be back!

We had a very tasty meal here. It was my wife's first stint ever and she was thrilled. The smelts are very well prepared and are served twice. The staff was also very friendly and helpful. We will definitely come back here. E.g. to eat plaice in May. We are happy to recommend the post office in Cranz.

only 5 stars? The stint with fried potatoes was extremely tasty and definitely a reason to come back at least once again this season! But the service was also so outstanding, courteous, friendly and warm that we didn't really want to say goodbye when we went home today. Thank you for the wonderful afternoon

Super nice staff! Great food, all homemade! We'd love to come back🫶🏻

Great - the food, the service, the location - especially the garden in summer!

We are enthusiastic, what a super nice staff, thank you for the great evening

We were greeted at the entrance by the friendly senior manager, who could tell we were hungry. The stint was excellent including the side dishes. We were served very friendly and attentively. This wasn't our last visit to this beautiful place in the "last corner of Hamburg"!

A very nice atmosphere, we have known Die Post for 25 years and have never been disappointed. This year's stint was super tasty. Congratulations to the Kramer family for finding a great team. We wish you all the best for the next 300 years 🍀 and are already looking forward to your next visit.

A stint there once a year is a must for us. Always delicious and always great service.

Great restaurant in Hamburg Cranz, Great friendly service and great food will come back.

In any case. The fish meal was very tasty and everyone was really nice

Delicious smelt food, oh my 7 smallest smelts, then again and the third time a whole 5... the whole thing for 29.50. Matje plate, housewife style, delicious, but the sauce is pure mayonnaise...with a few tiny diced red pepper pieces. OK, thank you very much, not here again

An inn that you could only wish for. Very friendly owner family, very friendly staff. Attentive. Leaves nothing to be desired. Very cozy and great location. And the food is exceptionally good too. I eat smelt annually. I've already been to Wendland, Jork or Winsen. That was good too. Nevertheless: Here in Cranz it is even better. Class, instead of quantity. For example, instead of serving a bunch of smelt like the competitors, you are served small portions. Time-consuming, but it's always crispy. Thank you very much! Oh yes: they are also child-friendly, which is not a given.

Very good restaurant, friendly service

We have been to the post office several times and we have never been disappointed. In my opinion, highly recommended.

Top service, delicious food, there is no better way to recommend it

We went for smelt and duck today and were very satisfied

Super delicious food and really exceptional family atmosphere. You can see the bosses and philosophy, but you can also see that everyone else is passionate about it and having fun.

A beautiful building, a rustic, cozy interior with a high feel-good factor, very attentive and courteous staff - the food is a poem: freshly, deliciously prepared - I had Kramer's fish plate with 3 different fillets and fried potatoes... my companion had a stint. If you like fresh fish, you will love it there. The 125 km journey was really worth it 😊.

Never eaten such a delicious stint. Thank you. A very attentive service - always with a Northern German touch - ensured an absolute feel-good atmosphere. We'll be back soon!!!

Very cozy, authentic atmosphere… friendly and competent staff… online table reservation system without personal contact, but very friendly owner; We love it when the first name is unobtrusive, open, warm and honest! We came specifically for a smelt meal and were not disappointed. We would love to come back

Very good food, but not cheap either. Staff is nice and attentive.

Very tasty stint. Great service. Nice ambience. Everything was great, gladly again.

Everything tasted really delicious. The fish soup, the stint and everything that went with it. Friendly and attentive service. We will definitely come back soon.

I have never eaten a better stint in the greater Hamburg area! Stint tastes simply fabulous with you. By the way, schnitzel too! Many thanks to the kitchen! The service area is also very nice, polite and accommodating. The ambience is very appropriate and cozy. A timely reservation is recommended. Thank you very much, we would love to come back. UPDATE 2024: And once again we came from Bergedorf to eat with you. And another 5 stars +++! UPDATE 2025: Been here for the third time now and had such a delicious meal! Thanks so much!

Everything is simply wonderful 😁 Delicious stint and warm service. We'll be back

Such a cozy inn. We were thrilled. Like every year, we wanted to eat a stint here and had reserved a comfortable seating area for 4 people. We received a very warm welcome here, everyone was happy, in a good mood and the staff were very committed, quick and attentive. Food, we all had fish, excellent, very appetizing to the eye. It was full, which made it a little louder, but when everyone is so happy, it's easy to deal with it. We look forward to next time.

A visit to the oldest restaurant in Hamburg is highly recommended. The Kramer family has been there with delicacies for 300 years. Always freshly prepared food. Large selection and portions. If you want to treat yourself to something really good, come here.

The first Elbstint 2025 was very tasty and with great service and a nice atmosphere!

Everything was very tasty and a dish also for vegetarians 👍

Such a quaint restaurant where you immediately feel warmly welcome. We ate smelt - a dream! We come every year and have to travel a long time to do so. And it's always worth it!!!

Thank you for allowing us to be guests. highly recommended. You can feel the passion in everyone. We'll definitely come here again.

Unfortunately our visit did not live up to our expectations. The stint was fresh, but unfortunately quite greasy. What was particularly disappointing was that the portions were counted precisely - 5 stints per round - and the first two portions were served cold or only lukewarm. Only the last portion was somewhat okay. The side dish, the fried potatoes, was also weighed, which seems quite petty given the price of 30.00 euros (without drinks). Although we were able to order more stints twice, unfortunately my father and I didn't get enough. Overall it wasn't bad, but nothing special either. We expected more for the price and unfortunately we won't be coming back. It's a shame because we were looking forward to a nice meal.

Quality products cooked to perfection in an idyllic setting.

Very, very good. 👏👍. Great food and great service. We were very satisfied

A nice inn that is family run. And you notice that. Everyone who was there was nice, attentive and friendly. The food, plaice (my wife) and I had smelt, was delicious. The preparation was still according to old traditions. There are also things that you shouldn't necessarily change. And Scholle Finkenwerder Art or Stint there is nothing you can do about it. Both dishes were very good and tasty. And rich too. During the stint there were 3x 5 pieces and also fried potatoes or another potato variant. And a cucumber salad like I remember from my childhood in the 1970s. 👌 My wife had a second plaice. And also together with a potato variant and cucumber salad. We will definitely come back.

Well-deserved 5 stars, super great food and really great service. We'd love to come back. Kind regards and happy holidays.

Super! The food is authentic, traditional and incredibly delicious. The employees are super friendly and attentive. Keep it up, I'll be happy to come back

A really good inn. Cozy in the summer outside on the terrace right by the water, as well as in the winter with a rustic ambience. Great food and nice operators.

Excelent food and great attention! Highly recommended.

The friendliest welcome ever. Service very nice. The food was good too. We'd love to come back.

Just gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo here! Food (for me sole) was absolutely delicious. Staff very competent and attentive.

Great food, warm service and above all authentic

It's always a pleasure and a pleasure to spend a lovely evening with the Kramer family. Very attentive service and the kitchen actually deserves more than five stars. Even the 400 km journey is worth it. Thank you again for the wonderful hours with Fiete, Herbert and Wiebke and their team. We would love to come back and will highly recommend you. Greetings from Bergneustadt

As always, fantastic... soooo delicious... soooo friendly... soooo cozy... just a little break in style

We ate duck and it was the tastiest food I've eaten in a long time! (So ​​delicious that I'm even writing an application :P) Really, I can only recommend it. I have the feeling that other restaurants have gone way down with their food quality and that's not the case here - it tastes like grandma's back then.

It's like "coming home". In November 2024 I was on a business trip in Hamburg for 10 days and was very lucky to have found a wonderful hostel with the best care from the Kramer family. As soon as I entered the restaurant for the first time, I had the feeling that I was in very good hands. I haven't experienced such a warm, friendly and, above all, authentic welcome in a long time. Living family tradition paired with a lot of passion can be felt in every corner. The food is simply delicious - the best duck and fish I have ever tasted. The apartment "Grandma's Stube" was very comfortably furnished - nothing was missing and the idea that grandma once lived here was a very nice one. Thank you very much, dear Herbert, dear Wiebke, dear Fiete and the entire team. It was my pleasure! Many greetings from Stuttgart to the beautiful old country Heidrun

Sehr lecker 🙋‍♀️ unbedingt bald wieder und sehr kinderfreundlich ❤️ Vielen Dank für den schönen Nachmittag

Wir waren das erste Mal in diesem Restaurant aber mit Sicherheit nicht das letzte Mal. Einfach spitze!

Cozy restaurant with super tasty fish. We'll be back!

We have been coming for duck dinners in December for 5 years. There is no better one. Crispy, not fatty, red cabbage and sauce as well as croquettes are also super tasty

Delicious food, very friendly service, a place to feel good 😀

Pure culinary delight! Fantastic family restaurant with a very courteous and competent team. We were warmly welcomed as house guests by the family and team and felt welcome from the start. The fish dishes (salmon, zander fillet and sole) were always fresh and excellently prepared - the duck was super tender and crispy - for dessert I couldn't get enough of the crème brûlée! Many greetings from the Electoral Palatinate to the Kramer family & the team - we'll be back! 🙂 Peter & Silke

First time there. We'll be back. Food was very good. Price performance ratio is great.

Es lohnt sich....sicher eines der besten Restaurants im Umkreis... Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder.

Das Ausprobieren der Location hat sich gelohnt. Toller, Service und leckeres Essen

Wir finden, dass es ein sehr schönes traditionelles Restaurant ist. Der service ist überragend und die Qualität der Küche umwerfend. Vielen Dank für die schönen Abende. Sven

We were visiting for a long weekend for a short vacation and booked the “Elbblick” guest room, which is more like a small, fully equipped apartment. This is very comfortably furnished and the view is really beautiful. We ate there twice because we were really impressed by the food. My father-in-law said he had never eaten such good duck. Unfortunately, the choice for vegetarians is very limited as there is mainly fish and meat, but you can easily order croquettes or fries for children. The prices on the menu are not entirely unreasonable, but they are worth every euro. The Kramers really gave us a very warm welcome. Here, hospitality is still a real thing, so that you are greeted personally at the table and have a little chat. Everyone puts their heart and soul into it. This also applies to employees. All in all, we can only recommend it and who knows, maybe we'll end up heading towards Hamburg again.

Vorzüglicher Entenbraten, leider zu wenig Beilage (Knödel zu klein)

Wie immer hat alles sehr gut geschmeckt. Der Service war perfekt und wie immer ist alles sehr familiär. Wir kommen gerne wieder

Eine hervorragende Küche und ein schöne Gaststube … und der Service klasse 👍

The restaurant is great, the food is so delicious and the staff is very accommodating.

We were there for the first time and we were very impressed. You rarely experience such friendliness. We immediately felt comfortable. The food was very tasty. We'll definitely be back. 🐠🥔

Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Abend! Wie jedes Jahr im Herbst machen wir Urlaub im alten Land. Und natürlich steht jedes Mal mindestens ein Besuch bei euch an! Euer Essen, die liebevolle Bewirtung und den norddeutschen Charme genießen wir sehr. Bis ganz bald! Eure Familie Sudowé aus dem schönen Rheinland

Norddeutsch durch und durch, gemütlich, lecker und bezahlbar.

Freundliche kompetente Bedienung, der Fisch war auf den Punkt richtig, gute Beilagen - unauffällig Spitze!

Very good, the food was also great

Ein sehr schöner Ort um lecker regional zu Essen. Freundlicher Service mit Zeit für einen netten Plausch. Sehr gerne wieder!

Super delicious food, especially the fresh fish, very friendly staff, family atmosphere

Seit langem das beste Essen, super Service und ein tolles Ambiente erlebt. Dort waren wir nicht das letzte Mal!

Mal wieder ein riesiges Kompliment an Familie Kramer und ihr Team. Als Freunde gekommen und wie immer hervorragend gespeist und vom Service verwöhnt worden. Die weite Anreise aus dem Rheinland lohnt sich immer. Gruß aus Bergneustadt und man freut sich schon auf den nächsten Besuch

Very nice inn with very good German cuisine. For me and my wife there was duck with boiled potatoes, red cabbage and roast jus. The duck was super tender and very tasty. The service was super friendly and left nothing to be desired. All in all, a very nice evening that I would recommend to everyone.

Great service and super delicious food! Absolutely recommended

Great restaurant with a very personal service. The pickled salmon, duck and deer medallions are particularly recommended

Everything was wonderful, good portions, fair prices and nice service. I'd love to come back

Wir waren nun zum dritten Mal dort Essen und es war wieder Hervorragend. Leckeres Essen, freundliches Personal und für das Essen angebrachte Preise.

Ausgezeichnetes familiengeführtes Restaurant. Sehr leckeres Essen und ein herzlicher Service.

The four of us spontaneously came to this fish restaurant. However, on the advice of the competent and humorous Dutch service staff, we decided not to eat fish in favor of autumnal duck and venison veal steak - an excellent choice in every respect, everything was prepared to perfection. Apple crumble with cinnamon ice cream went very well with this as a dessert. The service looked after us unobtrusively, and the boss also asked how we were. The ambience is stylishly maritime-inspired. All in all, an unconditional recommendation. Here we make sure that you are well. At the next announced traffic jam on the A7 heading north in front of the Elbe tunnel, we will turn off and take 20 minutes of travel time.

Very nice restaurant with very friendly service. We'd love to come back. Just because of “Coffee Grandma Gertrud”.

Fantastic cuisine!!! The owner family is very nice, attentive and incredibly friendly to children. We had duck and plaice and were completely thrilled.

Was für ein schöner Abend bei sehr gutem Essen und sympathisch und aufmerksamem Service!

Extremely delicious food, especially the duck. We were welcomed and served very friendly.

Zur Post ist noch besser geworden; freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, tolles Angebot und überzeugende Qualität!

Super beautiful! Still life, sitting at the Este, enjoying garden water and plaice! Again and again!!

völlig überzogene Preise!!! 2 winzige Schollen mit kaum was dran für 33€. Ein Witz! Das Preisleiatungsverhältnis stimmt überhaupt nicht in so einem Landgasthof. Riesen Tamtam auf der Hompage, mit Reservierung etc. Keine Preise auf der Karte im Internet.:-( Ich würde das Lokal nicht weiterempfehlen!

The food was very tasty and fine, especially the chutneys and lemon curd with the strudel. Service very friendly and entertaining. There is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to espresso (i.e. small, strong, black and, above all, hot). Then it would be great. For me, this is the end of a delicious meal.

Coffee in the beautiful garden...

Family atmosphere, VERY good food, lovingly prepared and excellent in taste

Very tasty food and super nice service, we would love to come back. The journey from Ottensen was worth it!

Das Essen war sehr ausgezeichnet…sehr höfliche und nette Personalleuten…man kann sich nicht beklagen 👍!

We were there for coffee and cake and sat in the garden with a view of the Este. Very nice, but the waitress was probably having a bad day. We were overlooked, would have liked to order drinks, but we didn't get a farewell either. It's a shame, it spoils the overall impression.

A very nice guesthouse, right on the Este. This is a destination that I can recommend to everyone. You can sit outside with good coffee and good regional food. only recommended....🤗👍👌
