hæbel in Hamburg

Just a really great evening with really great hosts. The food was incredibly good - the wine was great. Thanks to the whole team.

Flora or Fauna, that‘s the only question for you…and if you’d like to add the wine journey to your Michelin star experience. We had both and were served with in total (I guess) 11-12 courses of little specialities, delicious and interesting spoons (spoon refers to the tv show the taste). Although we had a nice evening and enjoyed good food with very polite and attentive service. But it was not exceptional and we were still hungry when we left the Hæbel. In general, it was an experience.

Wonderful, artfully crafted food. The taste is outstanding, the service is at its best. We had a great evening.

Super pleasant, great food. Thanks for a great evening!

Overall, a wonderful evening - creative cuisine, good wines, perfect service. We missed a menu and there was no espresso - as they said when we asked: “The boss’s decision”.

Warm service, great wines, perfect food

Great restaurant with its own style. Definitely try it out, it stands out from other star restaurants.

First star experience and we regret nothing

Absolute top class from front to back. The atmosphere was very pleasant and not stuffy, the service was always great, funny and relaxed. Every course was extremely well thought out, with the combination of warm/cold, sour/sweet and different consistencies and flavors being an absolute feast for the palate. The wine accompaniment was very well chosen, but what should be highlighted is the non-alcoholic accompaniment; the approach was open and experimental and the standard Geiger non-alcoholic wine was not served, but a tasty alternative to alcohol was offered with each course. One star is not enough here, my palate rates at least two! I will always be happy to come back.

The first time fine dining for me and really a great experience. Great service, crazy good creations. Gladly again!

Sensational food! Top service! Casual, but never careless.

If I had had another star in my pocket, I would have gladly given it to the kitchen and staff. Thank you for the great evening. Always happy again. Merry Christmas.

Food, service and atmosphere at a level that explains and justifies the high award. Even my desire for a beer was made possible with a trip to the kiosk. No joke and proof that the guest and his wishes are really the focus. I just don't understand why people are talking about a "shabby chic" restaurant in a recession?

Great time ! All was great the food, the wine & the service !

The Haeble in Hamburg is simply a cozy place where you immediately feel at home. It's small and charming, without the rush - you can enjoy it in peace without feeling like you're going to be thrown out again. The atmosphere is very personal and the service does everything to make your stay pleasant. Absolutely recommended for a relaxing evening!

Absolutely recommended, value for money is right. Exciting, beautifully presented compositions that taste very delicious. Despite the small restaurant, you don't have the feeling of being cramped.

A beautiful and unusual restaurant for a special evening. The vegetarian menu was sophisticated and very tasty. The variety of the many courses is a short journey. Highly recommended!

There were two of us and we each chose the Fauna menu with wine accompaniment. Everything was excellent. We really liked the open kitchen because it meant we were always looking forward to the next course and it allowed us a look behind the scenes. Each course and optimally matched wine were explained with great attention to detail and questions about the unusual ingredients were answered. Thank you for the lovely evening!

A magical, delicious evening. Thanks

As always, excellent cuisine and staff. Please definitely try it.

Great menu with harmonious drink accompaniment. The small but fine restaurant has a special charm thanks to the clear view of the chefs' work. You can see how much attention to detail the individual courses are prepared with. We also had the "cat table" which of course allowed us to see the work of the chefs but also allowed us to have a chat or two with the very friendly staff. As I said, the staff is very friendly, the chefs also take care of the service and are happy to answer any questions. We particularly liked the sommelier. Just listening to his description of the excellent wines sensitized the taste buds. This also applies to the non-alcoholic accompaniment to the menu. All in all a recommended restaurant.

As expected, food was outstanding. The non-alcoholic drink pairing made us discover new flavours. Service was incredible. The only (small) criticism is that the music playlist that was playing the whole night was quite random and distracting.

We had a fabulous evening at Haebel. Family atmosphere, loving service and a culinary explosion of courses. Our favorites: Kohlrabi wontons with onion jam, quail, fake hare style, hazelnut cloud with caviar. And there was also a little revelation on the side: the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment doesn't have to hide next to the classic wine accompaniment. Absolute favorite here: parsley juice with lovage oil for an intensive mushroom course. Wow!

Haebel is characterized by its own style, which extends to the service, food and ambience. In keeping with the neighborhood, the Haebel is a mixture of calmness and maximum creativity. Every dish was a new experience, as was the wine with it. Unusual wines from a wide variety of regions that offer new taste experiences. Another advantage of the wine accompaniment was the possibility of only getting half a glass at a time. The only thing you could complain about if you wanted to is the portion size. As a star restaurant goer, the portion size was smaller compared to other star restaurants. You definitely don't leave the store too full :)

The food and service was very good. It was a bit too loud in the restaurant due to its size. Music selection in the toilet was pretty one-sided.

As always, an unforgettable culinary experience at the highest level without becoming aloof or stuffy. Great, casual service, fantastic food and special wines combine to create a magnificent experience.

Very cool atmosphere - nice Michelin figure in the kitchen. Funny metaphor

Great food! The local and seasonal focus of the cuisine stimulated exactly our interests The wine paring was awesome! Wines that were perhaps a little flat or unspectacular at first sip came into their own with the food. It was almost perfect and complemented the food again. Hats off to the sommelier!

Fantastic taste experiences! Unfortunately the music is too loud - we would have preferred no music at all.

Insanely great menu. We were recently at Tantris, which wasn't nearly as fun as at Haebel.

Great restaurant, present and professional - and at the same time pleasantly discreet - service, and above all, incredibly delicious food, where everything was perfect. Unfortunately (probably due to the smooth walls) it was a bit noisy for a conversation at times, hence 4 instead of 5 stars for the ambience. But that didn't hurt our very nice evening.

Over in the vibrant St. Pauli district, Hæbel is a modern bistro-style restaurant led by Chef Fabio, blending German classics with modernized Nordic and French touches. Sustainability and modern takes center stage here, earning it a MICHELIN Green Star. With two multi-course options—Fauna for omnivores and Flora for vegetarians—the dishes were a revelation. From the rich, complex goose and chicken liver to the Japanese egg foam, every bite excited the palate and the eyes. However, the cozy, cramped seating made the ambiance feel a bit too intimate. While it’s not the most refined setting, the warmth of the staff and the creative cuisine more than made up for it. 9 out of 10

As always a great experience from start till end - highly recommended to people appreciating fine dining in a leisure nordic atmosphere.

A really fantastic evening with great company, great and cheerful service and fantastic food.

The food and service are great. The restaurant is small, which I think is nice, but unfortunately a bit noisy when it's full. I will definitely visit Haebel again next time I'm in Hamburg.

Great taste experience, wonderfully relaxed service and an all-round successful evening.

We perceived everything, everything, as a special moment. Such a treat for the palate and the artistic representation of the individual dishes, simply wonderful. The wines were also an absolute delight. Thank you for the valuable evening. Kind regards Martina and Axel

10/10, I'm just thrilled. I just felt good and the food…WOW. Convince yourself! Dear.

It was a very nice evening with a menu that was really worthy of Michelin stars (we would have given 3 Michelins) which we were able to enjoy over four hours. Perfect and very friendly service with expertise. Great wines and a perfectly harmonious menu. It was served neither too quickly nor too slowly and no wish went unfulfilled. Gladly again and all the best for this great team - keep it up.

It was fantastic! Absolutely courteous and friendly staff who even stayed at the table for a quick chat. The food was a poem - everything was extremely artfully and delicately prepared; A personal highlight for me were the many unusual plates and bowls. Both the wine and non-alcoholic beverage accompaniments were tasty and appropriate; Many European wines and cleverly mixed drinks complemented the menu perfectly. The atmosphere is completely casual and pleasant, which is underlined by the varied and cheeky playlist. Absolute recommendation.

Culinary genius. Extremely pleasant on a human level. As a winemaker, I regret the imbalance between German and international wines, as food is also regional. Nonetheless, thank you for a very nice evening.

We were very impressed with the current menu and it's worth a visit. It's the combination of flavors that really gets us going.

Had to cancel a table which we were really looking forward to as there is no vegan menu available to order. Statement: “We cannot even take lactose intolerance into account. No restaurant in the world can afford this kind of effort” - mind you: several days in advance (sic!) and not spontaneously in the evening. So, dear allergy sufferers, be careful with this store, unfortunately you are overtaxing the incompetent team. All I can really say is how ridiculous - offering vegan or lactose-free options is now, of course, the absolute standard of high-quality restaurants - in Hamburg alone, Wolfsjunge, Bianc, Zeik, Heimatjuwel can do it, which I know from personal experience alone, and certainly a few more … The great thing is: such arrogance will resolve itself, because there is no doubt that such an attitude has no future. The fact that I was rejected in a very condescending manner was, of course, the highlight of the situation. I even suggested that we just take bread so that the other guests could have the normal menu and we could spend the evening together, but they didn't want to serve me that either. Quote: “We don’t offer that!” Well, then we offer our money to other hard-working and guest-oriented restaurateurs. Dear interested parties, think carefully about whether you should do that too. Not that you have any special requests 😉 PS: In the meantime, I met a former chef at the restaurant by chance. Apparently many majos etc. are made vegan anyway (perishability) - the reaction seems even more incomprehensible... PPS: the condescending manner with which I was treated as a result of my inquiry, dear Mr. Haebel - my review is only the answer to that (not everyone can have a high school diploma). It seems to me that you're already "fucking" my insight with the "vegan mayos" - it's not about my gastronomic knowledge; You should have that and obviously you can't shine with it. And thank you: yes, I have already visited the alternatives and therefore know that they are capable of flexibility. And they do it great! You obviously haven't grasped it cognitively, it doesn't matter! :) PPPS: from the rejection email from Mr. Haebel: “Eating is fundamental to our concept, so olives and vegetables would not have the same importance for us as dinner” - so dinner with vegetables is not possible. Ugh, welcome to the 90s; as mentioned - this will resolve itself; happy failure for the future! 💪🏼

We had a wonderful evening: food, drinks and service were outstanding. We have never eaten something so delicious...everything was very special :)

Everything perfect, just the right place for a special occasion

Casual atmosphere with delicious food. The cozy room and friendly service really made the visit special.

A special restaurant, not just culinary. Despite the elaborate cuisine (you can watch the preparation), the atmosphere in the room was relaxed and friendly. The staff introduced each dish and drink. A place to feel good for multiple senses!

This was a fun experience beginning to end The chef and his small team prepare every dish right in front of you in this small 16-18 seat restaurant They bring dishes to your table along with the 2 person wait staff who have a fantastic passion for the wine pairings They stay true to place but with creative technique across 8 courses The cost is fair but appropriate for the Michelin gem

A visit to a star restaurant with a difference. There is life in the place and it feels like a great evening with friends with great food, music and loud conversations. Absolute tip: the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment. Absolutely amazing!! The two hosts are authentic and you can feel that they live their job as a passion. The smallest star restaurant in Hamburg is a really big one!!

Had a very nice evening. A big compliment to the sommelier, the wine paring was very exciting

Very creative and artfully presented. Simply delicious!

Excellent food and great wines in a relaxed atmosphere. The team looks after you lovingly and fulfills individual wishes. Always has time for a little snack. Wonderful evening.

Delighted with the menu, service & ambience. Not every star restaurant keeps what it promises - this one does.

What a great restaurant. Have spent an unforgettable evening. Delicious food, super nice, unpretentious service. That was worth every euro! We'll definitely come back.

Very special, very cool and yet like in the living room!

Great restaurant. Both the Fauna and Flora menus are extremely delicious. The non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment is just as exciting as the wine accompaniment. The service is attentive and courteous. One star deducted for the ambience because it is relatively loud in the restaurant... the music was turned down on request. Thank you for the lovely evening.

It was our second visit to a star kitchen. The service was really great and had a spectacular sense of the right level of presence at the table. Big praise for that. We had the wine pairing. I have to admit that this one blew me away a bit towards the end. At some point I had enough of the wine. However, this rarely tasted good to me at the beginning and I didn't really enjoy the corresponding courses either. The courses themselves were visually really nice, but in several cases one note was too stark. Too sour, too salty, too smoky. I probably could/should have said something when I was there. But somehow you're still shy about it. I missed playing with consistencies and didn't understand the idea of ​​the menu plan. In the end I was actually tempted to get something quick to eat somewhere. But maybe that's also due to the excess wine. I wouldn't have been sad about a bread truck either.

It was one of my most beautiful evenings. Thank you very much again.

Great food in a great atmosphere, clear recommendation! :)

Authentic hospitality in a casual atmosphere, relaxed interaction and outstanding food.

Excellent food and warm service. An all around great experience.

Exceptional food in a cozy atmosphere with great service. A recommendation for anyone who likes or wants to get to know fine dining.

Absolutely amazing food and service. The head chef was really forthcoming about the process of creating the menu and each dish. Really enjoyed the overall ambience, great music, peaceful decor. Highly recommend and more than worth the price for the fauna tasting menu.

Great food and incredibly friendly service! Greetings to the whole team Constantine and family

Very tasty menu in a nice, relaxed atmosphere. Great and very nice service, top cuisine with original ideas. Bonus: the music selection is great and makes the evening a success

It was a feast for our taste buds, combined with great service in a pleasantly relaxed atmosphere. Gastronomy at a high level, relaxed and creative. That's fun!

The ambience in the haebl was really very appealing and created a pleasant atmosphere throughout the entire evening. The food was good overall, but unfortunately it didn't reach the level I would have expected from a restaurant of this class. While the lamb was well cooked, it lacked that certain something to really stand out. Some vegetable side dishes, such as the fennel, were unfortunately too salty, which spoiled the enjoyment. The menu as a whole was also not convincing in the long term - it lacked a culinary highlight that would have made the evening unforgettable. The service started excellently - the staff were attentive and the wine and champagne were excellent. Unfortunately, towards the end of the evening, this changed. The impression arose that they wanted to get rid of us quickly. No further requests for drinks were asked and the staff mostly stayed in front of the door. When the dessert was served, one had the feeling that the bill would now be due, which tarnished the previously positive impression of the evening. In summary, the evening was pleasant, but towards the end the culinary experience and service did not meet the expectations of a restaurant of this category. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio wasn't right for us.

A gem of a restaurant. Everything was just perfect - super food and service. Very quaint and relaxing setting. Just the right amount of food.

One of the best 1 star restaurants we have eaten in so far. Very personal, uncomplicated atmosphere. The view into the kitchen is nice. We particularly liked it. We'll be back.

Unfortunately, due to the traffic situation in Hamburg, we had to a little late that evening. A short phone call to the restaurant, which we were about 20 minutes late, was answered by the chef with the following announcement: "If you don't show up at the booked time, you have to go to the menu." We found this way of welcoming guests very strange for a star restaurant. We have no such information on the website. wanted. Luckily it was only 20 minutes late and the chef showed mercy. Our nice table neighbors probably had the same experience. The chefs and staff tried very hard and it was lacking not in happiness. Above all, the nice bearded guy with the expert wine advice was extremely accommodating. He deserves a special award at this point. The greeting from the kitchen was a taste highlight. For the most part, the menu was very small, visually appealing and unusual. The following dishes lacked a bit of spicy sophistication here and there. For example, the flatbread-like bread served in a pizza box, which was unfortunately only decorated with herbs and flowers and in the Fauna variant additionally with lard bacon. We would have more of each other here Flavor nuances expected, followed by something weak seasoned noodle variation. The restaurant impresses with its limited seating capacity of 16 Simplicity and at the same time coziness, which ensures direct contact with the Kitchen reinforced. Unfortunately, when we visited, the room temperature felt like it was 35 degrees, which the hand fans lying on the tables do not necessarily compensate for could. Such evenings should be experienced in a relaxed manner and not with constantly waving a fan. That was a bit of a shame! An air conditioner for the summer months wouldn't be a bad investment. In short, an unusual experience of a different kind!

We had a wonderful evening! A delicious menu full of surprises. In which star restaurant can you get pizza out of a box? The hammer!! With a perfectly coordinated wine accompaniment. For the first time I drank a wine from Hungary... Cooked, explained and served by cheerful, motivated chefs and staff. We chose the meat menu. But there would also have been a purely vegetarian version. Any intolerances could be clarified in advance. The place is small. But that's exactly the charm. This is the restaurant for a lovely evening for two or four. It was really fun and we'll be back.

From A to Z everything was very good. We were looked after and the quality of the food was incredible and surprising.

A menu compilation with flora and fauna in perfection! No criticism of the service or the food! Simply a phenomenal evening! See you soon… THANKS! Chapeau The acoustics and temperatures in the store were very unpleasant… It's best to come in swimming trunks!

Excellent restaurant - not awarded one star for nothing. We had a wonderful evening! Fantastic cuisine and great service!

A real firework of flavors! If it weren't so expensive (although the price is justified) I would come here every week. :)

Very nice, attentive and committed employees.

Magical ambience, great service and the food… heavenly! Perfect wine pairing! We left very relaxed and happy. A very harmonious evening… Thank you!

Excellent, incredible, simply perfect. The service was top notch, with great description and explanation. All our questions were happily answered. The wine-food pairing was exceptional, and of course the food was delicious from the amuse bouche until the dessert. A particular experience while being also very accessible to pretty much anyone and definitely quite laid back. 100% recommend

A wonderful evening with friends with friends

Music too loud. The meat course (saddle of lamb) was reduced to the minimum.

A very enjoyable evening. At first we were afraid that the taxi had taken us to the wrong area, but then it was there: the haebel. A bright and friendly room, small and stylishly furnished - and with an open kitchen. We received a very friendly welcome and then we started with small, creative starters. Each subsequent course was a real pleasure, sometimes surprisingly composed, sometimes funny, sometimes “old school”, but always innovative and enchanting. Wonderfully presented and explained by the kitchen team. The other highlight was the accompanying wine selection. We have never had wines so perfectly matched to the courses anywhere else, every drop is truly a hit. In short: a wonderful evening for which we would like to thank the whole team. Best regards

Great ambience! Small restaurant with a view of the kitchen (6 tables with a total of 13 guests 🤩👍). Very personal! Fine food on beautifully presented plates! Too bad the chefs didn't work quickly Say goodbye at the table at the end of the evening!🤔

Tutto perfetto when it comes to food and service. Unfortunately there was an annoyingly loud table for four next door. We'll definitely be back!

Very tasty food, attentive service, which also answered all questions about ingredients etc. An all around lovely evening!

The food is alright, the restaurant has this new concept of food. To me, it feels like a wannabe fine dine experience… Atmosphere is a little pretentious. The homemade breads are pretty good, that’s the highlight of the meal we had.

An all-round successful evening, very enjoyable and creative cooking with warm hospitality. We'd love to come back.

Super professional service, pleasant atmosphere, chefs introduce their courses themselves, mega tasty inspirations, perfectly matched wine accompaniment. We are extremely amazed!

Unfortunately we were disappointed. I would have expected more from a 1 star restaurant - none of the courses were really convincing in the long term. The service was good, but nothing more. The restaurant is nice, but small. In trendy restaurants they try to cover up the lack of service with “coolness” and the bill is way too high. I can't understand the star - it's a shame

Very nice communicative atmosphere; clear ambience with open kitchen; extremely tasty and creative dishes; excellent wine accompaniment including explanations; competent service; excellent music selection!!!

Magical evening! Many thanks to the entire Haebel team for a perfect evening! You are great!

A wonderful dining experience: exciting, creative food served by relaxed, attentive and friendly staff. The seating and the sound system alone reduce the quality of the ambience a little. Any time!

It was a pleasure 🥰 We had a fantastic evening, with great hosts, incredibly great food and perfectly matched wines. We love that familiar “kitchen party” feeling. If you want, you can talk to other guests. It's fine dining with a relaxed atmosphere. The fact that you can watch the chefs prepare the food is another highlight. It was a wonderful evening💕 We are already looking forward to our next visit 🫶🏻

We ate in the restaurant for the second time and both times we chose the vegetarian Flora menu, which we really enjoyed. It's amazing what you can get from combining vegetables with herbs. But the execution of the small pizza and the pasta dish was also sensationally good. The desserts are a dream! Unfortunately, the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment was presented very carelessly without specifically discussing the content. Sometimes we didn't even know what was mixed together. It's a shame because we liked the taste of the drinks. On the other hand, the sommelier was very informative about the alcoholic beverage accompaniment that our friends chose. It immediately whetted my appetite for the respective wine.

Very good and friendly service. Great wines and a very creative non-alcoholic accompaniment (own creations). The food is great anyway.

As always sensational! There is no comparable restaurant in Hamburg. Great food and a wonderful atmosphere!

Everything was just great - a lovely atmosphere and the food was incredibly delicious! Highly recommended!

We had an amazing exprerience in Haebel. Warm and friendly welcoming. Nice admosphere and amazing 12 dishes. Each dish was a new food orgasme. Defnetly a restaurant to go back!!

Small, fine, creative cuisine. We enjoyed the wonderful menu with a fine wine or Nson alcohol accompaniment, which also convinced me.

I was very satisfied with my visit to Haebel. The service was simply excellent - super friendly and always happy to answer any questions. You felt welcome from the start. The food was also excellent: creative dishes prepared with high-quality ingredients and tasted at the highest level. Particularly noteworthy are the artful presentation of the dishes and the perfectly coordinated flavors. Thank you for the great experience, I'll be happy to come back!

We had a wonderful evening and enjoyed it to the fullest.
