Kaminstube in Hamburg

It was fantastic. We had a problem with our online table reservation four weeks ago (tip: always call is much better). The way Mr. Pfeiffer and the Pfeiffers team handled it was fantastic. Thank you so much for this wonderful evening. The food was also very, very good again. The atmosphere, sitting on the terrace at 25 degrees Celsius and looking out into the beautiful garden, was wonderful. Thank you for this wonderful evening... I'm afraid we'll be back.

It was wonderful! I had mentioned my husband's milestone birthday when making the reservation, and the staff very appreciatively surprised him several times. The food was fantastic and the portions were really generous. The evening exceeded our expectations, and we will definitely be back!

The restaurant may have changed its name, but little else has — the interior, menu, and general feel remain the same. Housed in a charming thatched building, it offers a few parking spaces directly outside, with more available on the street nearby. Inside, the layout features a bar tucked in the far left corner, black tables paired with industrial-style clustered light fixtures, and exposed wooden ceiling beams that add rustic character. Gold waist-height dividers with wooden trim attempt to segment the space but don’t add much warmth. While the service has slightly improved compared to the Stocks days — when we sometimes had to flag down staff ourselves — it still falls short of being genuinely welcoming. It’s functional at best: inconsistent, occasionally cold, and not especially attentive. The food arrives in large portions, though unfortunately quantity doesn’t make up for quality. The black miso cod, served lukewarm, was a dry and overcooked fillet on a bed of bland mashed potatoes. It came with stale purple potato chips that lacked crunch and clearly hadn’t been freshly made. The schnitzel was generous in size but similarly uninspired — bordering on bland. However, the accompanying potato discs were nicely done and stood out as the best part of the dish. Lighting remains a notable issue — harsh and poorly placed wall fixtures cause glare, particularly problematic at the table adjacent to one of the wall mounts. In summary, despite a name change and minor improvements in service, the experience remains middling. The setting has charm, but execution in both hospitality and cuisine still leaves much to be desired.

We celebrated with 30 people at Piso Uno on Friday. It was simply world-class. The rooms, including the rooftop terrace, are stylish and cozy, the food is excellent, and the service was fantastic. Everything was just perfect, so even the most critical guests had nothing to complain about. Thank you for the wonderful evening.

As always, the food was top-class in a great atmosphere.

The food is mediocre to good, depending on the dish. I was very bothered by the dead flies all over the windowsill. Expensive restaurant in a good location.

We were invited to a 50th wedding anniversary party. A friendly young man took our order. The appetizer arrived far too quickly. Unfortunately, one dish was incorrect; carpaccio was served instead of sushi. With an apology, a replacement arrived very quickly?! The main course, which also arrived very quickly, was a disappointment: only two types of fish instead of three. The wolffish was inedible. The mustard sauce was thin and lacked mustard flavor. The ends of the beef roulade were dry and tough. As compensation, they offered schnapps?! Without asking, a waiter came before we paid and poured us more wine from a different bottle! The long-planned ride home in the Maybach didn't work out either. Not a good experience.

Very relaxed, and I had roast with red cabbage, potatoes, a nice salad, and a beer that was fantastic. There was also a small dessert, the service was very attentive, and the ambiance was very nice.

Beautiful restaurant. Delicious food. Friendly staff...

Since I plan to visit Hamburg soon, you are on my list for a delicious meal in a stylish way. Hamburg, I'm looking forward to the rich selection 🤗

The three-course lunch menu was very well-balanced, beautifully presented, portions were generous, and the value for money was excellent. Friendly service and a pleasant, elegant ambiance were also excellent. Highly recommended!

We were at the new Pfeiffers for the first time today. The food was truly exceptional. I had a rack of lamb with beans and rosemary potatoes. It couldn't have been better. Cooked absolutely perfectly. Absolutely superb meat, beautifully presented. Simply first-class. And then the service was fantastic. What more could you want? If I had one complaint, it would be the menu on the clipboard. Very unwieldy. Could perhaps be improved.

After the change of management, I can wholeheartedly recommend the restaurant. The food was consistently very good – creative, delicious, and varied. I was particularly impressed by the new, bright decor, which gives the space a modern and friendly ambiance. One small drawback is the acoustics: Due to the open layout and the large number of guests, it can get quite loud. The service, on the other hand, impresses with its professionalism and unobtrusive presence – always there when you need them. Overall, a successful development that is definitely worth a visit.

I was there for a young man's birthday party and I really enjoyed the restaurant. The food was excellent, the atmosphere was very pleasant, and the staff were very friendly. Highly recommended!

Pleasant ambience, attentive service and the lunch menu super delicious

Stocks is now called Pfeiffers, but nothing else has changed. Except for a new coat of paint on the wood in the restaurant.

The high standards have been maintained since the change of management! Great! We'd love to come back!

Wife and I both ate 'Surf & Turf' (beef fillet with prawns). We also drank an excellent red wine from South Tyrol. The fillet was cooked perfectly medium rare. The side dishes like gratin or spinach were very tasty. In our opinion, the price of €45 per meal and €60 for the bottle of wine is reasonable. The service was nice and friendly. The parking situation is simply annoying. You won't find anything in the surrounding area; I just found a 'ticket' from the not so friendly Hamburg police. 🙄

A really nice restaurant with a varied menu, where everything still tastes great! The team is really nice and cares about all the needs of the customers. I can recommend a visit to everyone!

Great shop with a very nice terrace and very good food

Five of us were at Pfeiffer's and had a great evening! Four of us had the schnitzel – perfectly breaded, super tender and tasted great. The fillet steak was also cooked to perfection and was a real highlight. The service was attentive and very friendly, the atmosphere was stylish and cozy. You can tell that the cooking here is done with a lot of love. We'll definitely be back!

Very friendly service, food great quality. 100% repeat

Our expectations were high - and the Wiener Schnitzel actually met them from a culinary point of view: perfectly fried, wonderful in taste. The service also impressed with its friendliness and attentiveness, for which the team deserves honest praise. Unfortunately, the positive experience ended exactly at the point where you actually want to sit back and enjoy. The background noise was simply overwhelming – not in a good way. It was hard to think of a relaxed conversation; Rather, you felt as if you had accidentally booked a major event. The arrangement of the table also contributed: Our seat was so close to the neighboring table that we could have easily eaten from their plates - a very unusual concept of “intimate atmosphere”. When we packed up the rest of our food, the cranberries and salad were also missing - a small thing perhaps, but emblematic of an organization that unfortunately falls far short of the kitchen's standards. Conclusion: If you are looking for excellent food and are prepared to sacrifice any privacy, peace and a minimum of relaxation, you will find it here. However, if you combine pleasure with atmosphere, you should look for an alternative.

We like to come to Stokks now Pfeiffers to eat. The dishes are expensive but the food and service are of a very high standard. Everyone is very friendly, attentive, but never intrusive. They were also super nice and friendly to our 2-year-old daughter and didn't mind her running around a bit. There is even an extra children's menu and painting supplies. The food is always excellent! The lobster soup is the best in Hamburg, simply delicious! Whether you choose truffle fries, fish or the beef roulade, we have never been disappointed with the food. Even a scoop of ice cream is decorated with attention to detail and presented to the guest. We always feel very comfortable here and will be back soon.

In any case, Pfeffers is a very good address

absolutely lovely staff and the food was fantastic

Excellent service with a very nice atmosphere. The food was also excellent.

Top food, great service and very nice rooms 😍

We had reserved a table for 12 a la carte for our 60th birthday. Very attentive service coupled with perfect kitchen performance made this evening more than satisfactory. Many thanks to the entire team.

As always, top food and good wine recommendations. We had carpacchio, tartar and burrata in advance. Then wok and Steinbeisser. All highly recommended

As always, a great evening. Very tasty food and our waiter was super good, very accommodating, super attentive and then super nice and funny. We'd love to come back. A small point of criticism: the menu on a tab is very complicated and difficult to read.

The food was great, there was absolutely nothing I could criticize here, just perfect. Unfortunately the service decreased somewhat: Overall, the employees all seemed very informed about what was expected of them in such a restaurant, but unfortunately we encountered one waitress who always seemed to be in a hurry, talked to you quite casually and literally slammed the drinks on the table. It's actually a shame because all the other staff there were very friendly and professional. I can't say much about the ambience either. It is beautifully furnished and looks really magical, but, as expected, the volume in the comparatively small rooms with a lot of people is too loud for me personally. Overall, it's still a great restaurant, which I recommend to anyone who wants to eat really good food and treat themselves.

Very good lunch and friendly service. We'd love to come back.

We are very satisfied. The winter garden has a great view for the sunset. Unfortunately the acoustics are a bit loud when everyone is talking. It took a while between the starter and the main course, but there was a drink on the house. The food was perfect. Service very good.

Nice, stylish restaurant in the north of Hamburg. The reception was friendly and relaxed. Friends were picked up from home by a Maybach shuttle. Personally, I think it's good advertising. As a starter there was sushi and tempura prawns. Everything was very nicely prepared and extremely tasty. Then unfortunately there was a little low. Because too much time passed between the starter and the main course. However, when we asked about it, the service responded really well and we gave us a drink of our choice on the house. Then came the schnitzel. I was very surprised. For a high-priced restaurant like this, it was a really sufficient portion, plus perfect and zero-greasy fried potatoes, as well as a very successful cucumber salad. Overall, the food and that of our friends was very attractively presented and extremely tasty. The service was attentive. There was just one thing that bothered us all a little. The background noise in the winter garden was very loud. Listening to a conversation required a certain amount of concentration. Nonetheless, we thought it was great and will come back.

Very tasty and upscale restaurant. The sushi is excellent and the restaurant is really nicely decorated!

We ordered sushi. The quality was excellent. The service was great, and the champagne was delicious. Thank you very much, we'll be back!

In my opinion, the fairly high price was a bit excessive for the dishes (pan fish and Wiener schnitzel). Our table was looked after alternately by 4 waitresses and all of them were inattentive and didn't collect us for ages even after we brought the bill. We then had to go to the front (which is really not appropriate in a restaurant like this) and they didn't even apologize for forgetting us. All in all, a somewhat disappointing first visit to the Pfeiffer.

Were here today for the first time since the reopening. The food was excellent as always and the grilled surf and turf has never been better. Unfortunately the vegetarian selection is very, very small. However, the vegetarian dishes that come next are great. It would be great if the kitchen here offered more, as they seem to be able to.

Pfeiffer's is apparently the successor restaurant to "Stocks" - this is not entirely clear in bookings and on the Internet. The corresponding marketing should urgently be reconsidered and adapted. It is also surprising that there was/is nothing about the change in the local news. About quality: Our beloved warm sushi looked the same as before, but was cold and crumbled as soon as it was touched. Taste – YES! One wine was on the wine list without a price (rookie mistake?). Another wine we selected was out of stock. Food overall did not correspond to the price quoted. The spirit was also missing in the staff - everyone was nice and friendly, but nothing more than the bare minimum. The new owner/restaurant manager (???) was more concerned with his VIP drivers than with the guests - very unusual. We no longer experienced the atmosphere in the restaurant as cozy. It was much brighter than usual, which may be due to the paint and a change in lighting. By the way, it still smelled strongly of paint.

Still a great place for hospitality. The Pfeiffers remains set!

Starter was too salty. In the dessert there were two small iron crampons with two points. Despite a complaint, there was no response from the restaurant

I tried everything across the menu - from creamy burrata to fresh sushi to tender lamb. Everything was super tasty and well prepared! Finally there was a tiramisu which was just right. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was good too. I'll definitely be back!

Really delicious food, super friendly and attentive staff. Happy to come back!

As always, it was very good, newly renovated shop. Nothing has changed in terms of the quality and service we were used to. We always like to come back.

The former Stocks is now under the management of the previous restaurant manager Thomas Pfeiffer.

I can fully recommend Stock's. We were warmly welcomed and escorted to our reserved table. Our order was taken in a very short time by the friendly service employee and the drinks were brought out very quickly. The food - we had a 3-course lunch menu - was excellent and a true taste experience. A restaurant that makes you feel good all around and enjoy - We'll definitely be back ;-)

The quality of the service staff can still be improved.

Very stylishly decorated restaurant with great service. When it comes to eating, the focus is on fish, but you can also find other things and always get the best quality. Highly recommended!

Very courteous service, excellent food. Cozy atmosphere, acoustics well dampened. Unreservedly recommended.

Perfect. Very good food and exemplary service. Every wish was catered for. Small portions are also possible. I found the wrapped lemon particularly nice. Bouillabaisse, espresso and Wiener Schnitzel are simply fantastic. Thank you.

The food was, as always, very good! However, I was surprised by the cheap and unsustainable disposable chopsticks for sushi. The service employee for our area was inattentive, I know it differently. We sat for a good 15 minutes with empty plates while the table next to us was being set for the next day.

Very expensive but also very tasty

It's always a pleasure to eat at Stock's. The welcome from the restaurant management and the service staff is very friendly. The ambience is valuable and stylish. The selection of food and drinks leaves little to be desired. The sushi variations are legendary, as is the bouillabaisse. During our visit yesterday I chose the stuffed cabbage and not for the last time: a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. The very attentive service ensured a successful evening. We'll definitely be back soon.

Completely satisfied! We were there as a group and had a truly wonderful evening. Both the entire menu and the quality of the food and drinks were beyond reproach. The staff, who were always friendly and extremely prompt, deserve special mention. Despite the restaurant being fully booked, there was virtually no waiting time. All orders and requests were placed and received promptly. The ambiance is incredibly cozy and invites every guest to linger. This is what you would expect from a slightly more upscale dining experience!

Stylish ambience decorated in warm tones. There was a lively atmosphere in the restaurant that evening The service was courteous and friendly, even though everyone was very busy.

Top, pleasantly dark ambience, super friendly staff and a successful overall picture.

We were looking for a place to have dinner on New Year's Eve. Despite being fully booked, we still managed to get a seat from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. It was really very good, very hospitable, and delicious, a great place – compliments and thank you very much!

We are regular guests and are always surprised

It was very nice again and we enjoyed it very much. The duck - carved at the table - was excellent. We'll be back!

The food there is always delicious

We recently had dinner there with 2 friends. The food was fabulous - a poem. The restaurant is very cozy and chicly furnished. Since there are only about 8 parking spaces on site (exaggerated:-)) there is a nice driving service. Then you park at the bakery 500 meters away and a very nice older gentleman takes you the 500 meters to the restaurant. Won't be our last visit.

We celebrated our Christmas party in the fireplace room. very nice cozy location. Very good food with several courses

Every time special🤗. The Stocks is something very special. Although known for fish, special sushi and sashimi, meat lovers will also get their money's worth here. The ambience, the service and the wines on offer are still unbeatable for me to this day 👍

Excellent burger. Great service. A medium-sized selection of very well-chosen dishes.

Great, delicious lunch at fair prices. Highly recommended.

As always, it was super tasty, great ambience, friendly service. Was there for lunch for the first time and the price-performance ratio is sensational

A wonderful lunch on St. Nicholas Day. Excellent crispy duck, followed by chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream. See you next time...

Nice ambience. We had a very nice attentive waiter. The food is high quality. The only thing I don't like so much is the high proportion of sushi. I would like more fish variations and possibly seasonal dishes.

Not suitable for vegetarians or vegans! There is simply no offer for this. “Choose something from the side dishes” - that’s not a meal!! The fish and meat eaters were satisfied, the others were not. Since the younger generation in particular likes to eat vegan or vegetarian food, we will certainly no longer come here with a larger family group. We also had the “feeling” that regular guests were preferred. We had to wait quite a long time even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. The service was ok, but certainly not warm towards us. The atmosphere is now a bit old-fashioned. Too bad.

Outstanding in all dimensions... and for more than 20 years!!

A stylish restaurant with excellent food and relaxed service. The sushi selection was extensive and very tasty. The furniture is a bit old. We had a very nice evening there.

The food is high quality steaks, fish and Wienerschnitzel top. Unfortunately, cream of lobster bisque was not creamy and was quite strong. Red cabbage is a matter of taste. Desserts great.

very nice atmosphere, very attentive and nice staff and of course very fine and delicious food. After we were here for the first time at the opening on October 1st, 2001, we are still thrilled to have such a great restaurant here. Alstertal to have. The menu is very well tailored to different tastes and we rave about both the sushi variations and the seasonal dishes! Keep it up!!

A. Nonymos, Weiland, F.H.. are probably used to highway restaurants or trucker bars, but anyone who is used to recognizing and “tasting” hand-made dishes, so to speak, cooks fresh at home every day and doesn’t order from Lieferando knows what’s good. You can safely do without such customers. Because finding good staff is more difficult these days than finding guests. With that in mind, see you again.

Fine dining, top quality and service, a hidden gem, every time we are satisfied with the service and the food, very nice ambience. Small to medium-sized family celebrations or conferences are possible in the adjacent building.

A very appealing one clean restaurant.

The restaurant recommendation in the Alstertal in Hamburg. Consistently very good cuisine and great service. Simply a feel-good place for gourmet eaters.

A very good address for fish dishes!

Extremely delicious food!! Absolutely nice service, thank you for a lovely evening.

We were there for the first time for a family dinner and we liked it so much that we came back the next evening to enjoy the delicious sushi specialties!

Very pleasant welcome and attentive service. The food is beautifully prepared and tastes better than the eye would suggest. It wasn't our last evening in this lovely restaurant

We eat there regularly, about once a month. The lunch menu there is unbeatable!

To put it short and sweet: just perfect 👌

The restaurant was very busy. The service was very attentive, friendly and helpful. The food clearly exceeded our expectations. I can highly recommend STOCK's for a lovely evening and a great meal.

Were in Hamburg for a short trip and were looking for a restaurant for dinner and then came across this restaurant and were very impressed. Service totally attentive and friendly. Food fresh and excellent. We would definitely come back if we were in Hamburg again and recommend everyone to eat here.

It is always a pleasure to come here, 5 stars - well done to the Stocks Team for making this always so memorable!

Very good food and value for money

What can I say? One of the top restaurants in the north of Hamburg is a real classic when it comes to sushi and sashimi. But German cuisine is not neglected here either. There is absolutely nothing negative to complain about about STOCKS! Rarely have we experienced such motivated staff and perfect food. Absolutely recommended. Important: reserve a table!

Excellent good food. Service at the highest level. Very cozy atmosphere and enough privacy at the tables for confidential conversations.

There is absolutely no reason for criticism. Great atmosphere, super friendly service and the food was excellent. We Thuringians would love to come back.

An all-round perfect experience of hospitality and cuisine! Thanks

Very good restaurant that is well-known in Hamburg and doesn't really need any further explanation. If there is a drawback, it is the lack of parking spaces.

We ate there with our children and our parents and we all enjoyed it very much. The atmosphere is nice and the waiter who served us was just great! We'll definitely come back.

Unfortunately the service is getting worse and worse. Regular customers are given preferential treatment. Unfortunately the food has also deteriorated. It's actually a shame for the beautiful atmosphere.

It is always a great pleasure experience. Very good food, great service. Great lunch with absolutely good value for money

Great location, super friendly service, organization/process perfect... and then very good food at reasonable prices in relation to the quality and ambience!

Were with you for the first time yesterday - it was nice. Food tastes very good, service is top, prices are high but just about reasonable. Ambience not suitable for us; But that doesn't get in the way of the 5 star rating ;)

Delicious food on the Alsterschleife...
