Kartoffelkeller und Historischer Weinkeller in Lübeck

It was absolutely delicious. The service was very friendly, attentive, and prompt. The ambiance was absolutely magical. We felt very comfortable and left full and satisfied. Thank you :-)

Quaint, chic ambience with delicious potato dishes 🥔😁👌🏼Definitely worth a recommendation 😁

We travel to Lübeck from America every year and the end of our trip is always capped off with a visit to the Kartoffelkeller. The food and atmosphere is always top notch but our most recent visit today was the best by far. It's our understanding that the restaurant is now under new management and we had the most excellent service from Mandy & Miri today. They were so gracious and attentive and we are already looking forward to next year's visit. Cheers from Ohio!

My favorite place to eat in all of Lübeck. The new staff is amazing and the atmosphere is super cool. Menu changes seasonally but is never a disappointment.

We could tell that the team had changed as soon as we entered - what a nice new atmosphere. We were served by Mandy, Miri and J., who with new enthusiasm, the right sayings on their lips and their courteous and loving, respectful manner conveyed a completely new positive experience of the potato cellar. As usual, the food is excellent and plentiful. We will now be coming more often than before because the service is so much better! Thanks for the great evening!

This restaurant is quite quaint and unique! Anyone visiting Lübeck should definitely take a look here. The service, especially from Johanna - spelled correctly? - is simply great. It's a pleasure to watch her work! The chef - and the food - = excellent! Thanks!

Super good schnitzel and very nice service. Lovely atmosphere and decor. Dogs welcome indoors

Unexpectedly very nice atmosphere. The service was friendly and helpful and the food was very tasty, also because the quality of the ingredients was high. The fish dishes are highly recommended, as is the potato muffin for dessert. We'll definitely come back.

Very nice quiet sunny place. The food and service was top! Special thanks to Miri and Mandy who took great care of us. We would love to come back 💕

Absolutely fantastic place. Really good food, the dogs were allowed to join. Strongly recommend.

Very nice atmosphere, friendly service, we both had herring with fried potatoes, the herring was very mushy, not like we are used to in the north, "al dente" so to speak. Too bad...

Great service and great food! The Swiss Rösti is highly recommended

Delicious food, Ms. Hemsing very nice service

Very good food. The service is good, they are helpful.

Beautiful historical ambience, great service from Miri and a really varied menu with delicious food at absolutely fair prices. We had a very nice evening and felt completely comfortable. We particularly liked the creative selection of vegetarian dishes and the friendly, caring service. Thanks :)

We had a very nice evening with good food and a medieval, rustic atmosphere. Thank you for the very friendly service from the two M&Ms this evening.

Always as good. Good food good service and friendly staff

Very nice service, thank you Miri for the lovely evening

Super nice service, especially with the M&Ms, absolutely delicious food, portions ok, atmosphere great. Any time!

Great restaurant, very tasty food. The fish was so fresh and damn tasty. The service “Greta” was simply great and super friendly.

Everything fine. Tastes, services and reasonable prices

We had the potato cellar's fillet pan and the 5 fresh potato pancakes. The food was really delicious and we haven't had such good service for a long time!!

We were there with our family and friends from America. The food was very tasty. The portions are very rich. Our daughters didn't manage to do everything; everything was packed up without any problems. The service from the M+M employees was excellent 😃.

We had dinner today and are very satisfied with both the food and the service. Especially with M&M very special!! Thank you for everything!

Hello dear people, Authentic German food in a cozy atmosphere! The potato cellar impresses with hearty dishes, great service and a great ambience. Absolutely recommended! The staff M&M were great and incredibly friendly, they made you feel right at home :)

Very tasty food. Great beer garden. The staff exceptionally friendly. We'd love to come back.

We celebrated our wedding in the potato cellar on Friday, we can't thank you enough. The employees made a significant contribution to ensuring that we had a great time. The service, the rooms and the amazing food, everything was so perfect. Thanks alot. Everyone stay as you are. Antje & Michael Ruser

We were just thrilled from the ambience and the friendly staff. But the food was also absolutely delicious. Thanks for the successful evening, we'll come back on our next vacation.

We were in this establishment an hour ago. The atmosphere is wonderful. But the waitress poured a glass of dark beer on the table, and at the same time, on me. There was a surprise when an extra glass, poured by the waitress, appeared in the check. As a compensation, we did not include the service charge (7 euros). Additionally, we requested that we be refunded for the 5th glass (for a company of 4 guests) poured by the waitress. Returned In cash. We will never go here again!

Had lunch in the potato cellar yesterday. The dishes are highly recommended, the service person (Miri) was super friendly and the atmosphere is inviting.

Had lunch yesterday. The food and ambience were magical. Our service person Miri gave us very good advice about the food. Very tasty and recommended.

Very tasty potato dishes in a beautiful vaulted cellar.

Things look bleak inside. We had a hearty meal there and felt welcome until we were served. We were wondering why the goose leg was served UNSEASONED and with pale, moist skin. There was only 1 dumpling and poor red cabbage. That was very sobering, but when a retired couple next to us received perfect drumsticks, 3 dumplings and more red cabbage, we actually wanted to get up and leave. I have never experienced such a subtle rejection of craftsmen. (and I emphasize again that we behaved decently and politely!) I cannot advise any guild holder or craftsman to support this restaurant and there is a boycott in our area.

We went there spontaneously for lunch today. Were served super friendly and courteously by Miri. The food was also great. As soon as we are back, we will come back.

Went to lunch with you today based on your recommendation. The food was very tasty, Miri our waitress gave us good tips which were delicious and recommended. We would be happy to come back to you.

Highly recommended in all respects 👍

Had a very, very fun evening with a large group. Waitresses very humorous and professional. Food really tasty.

Today we went to the potato cellar with a larger group. The waitresses were top notch and had fun for everyone 😉 The food was delicious and the drinks came quickly. We sat at a table with 8 people and got the drinks and food at the same time, just great. Even if I repeat myself, great staff 😁 It was a lovely, unforgettable evening with you 😊

We came here spontaneously and were lucky to get a table for four people without a reservation. We were immediately impressed by the atmosphere and ambiance. We were shown to our seats with a friendly welcome, and the excellent service continued until we left. The food was incredibly delicious, and the portions were generous for the price. We were all full and had no complaints. The "Kartoffelkeller" is 100 percent recommended. We will definitely be back.

The food was ok...the service was friendly

The food was very good, the service was very nice and friendly, and the atmosphere was reminiscent of a cellar.

We were greeted warmly and served exactly the same way. The food was freshly prepared and tasted first class. We'd love to come back.

The food was incredibly good and the portions were very good. The staff was also very nice.

The potato cellar is very good. You get delicious German food and sit under old vaults from the Hanseatic era. The service is good and the prices are home-style. I can recommend the potato cellar. A visit is worth it.

Very satisfied, got a table spontaneously, nice service, delicious food and a very nice atmosphere. Have nothing to complain about 👍🏻

It was super tasty! Unfortunately, the time it took to eat and pay the bill was uncomfortably long.

You should definitely have been to the potato cellar :)

Toller Service und sehr gute Qualität der Zutaten. Rösti mit Schinken und Gratin Hochseefischer sind beide zu empfehlen.

A very nice atmosphere in the vaulted cellar. Service was very nice and the food was exactly as presented. We would love to come back 👍🏼

Delicious food and nice employees. I can only recommend it

We were there for lunch a week ago on Saturday. Our child was immediately given paper and crayons, which are always great to keep busy. The kale was tasty, not too fatty. But above all, the service was great. Attentive but not intrusive, quick and very friendly. This combination is becoming increasingly rare these days. Thank you for that!

Nice vault. All kinds of dishes with potatoes are offered. I had a baked potato with herring and a delicious garnish. The restaurant has my full recommendation.

Very rustic restaurant, great food, but the staff was a bit overwhelmed on Boxing Day.

My opinion: Waited 1 hour for food Some food was lukewarm The knuckle was ok, but there was far too little sauce Everything addressed. The main argument was that mainly tourists come every day and you'll never see them again anyway. Man, what an appreciation

Ate very well. Courteous but not intrusive staff. The ambience is magnificent, a medieval cellar, as the name suggests. We had a great time! Highly recommended!

One must say that the atmosphere is unique! This is truly unique and fascinating. The reputation of the restaurant is actually very positive among the local population. But when I was there yesterday I noticed a few deficiencies in the service and the food. I had the Bayernhaxe, which is only available on Friday and Saturday. Plus a potato dumpling, white cabbage and knuckle sauce. Personally, I think sauerkraut would have been better, but it's fine. The best thing about the dish was the potato dumpling. Getting it perfectly on point is underestimated, this one was fresh and homemade and really great. The second best thing on the plate is actually the knuckle itself. And she wasn't really good. In any case, it was very large, had a pleasant roasting and was definitely better than in the grill snack. Nevertheless, although it had good spots, it also had a lot of very dry spots in the meat. And we were there an hour after opening time. This just proves that they shop well, but nothing more. I would have hoped for a little more with this special dish, which takes up an entire page on the menu. And well, the fails were really the white cabbage salad and the knuckle sauce. Don't get me wrong, both were edible and fresh and tasted good considering the circumstances. But well, the white cabbage was like it came out of a packet at Aldi, and the sauce was clearly just a powder sauce, like the one from Maggi. Additionally, the portion size of the white cabbage and sauce was so ridiculously small that it seemed like a bad joke. According to her, my friend's food also didn't live up to her visual expectations. And all of this in conjunction with the prices quoted results in a rather poor price/performance ratio. Seems to be resting a bit on tourism. The service was very nice and friendly, but some statements were very intrusive. When it came to paying, everything was a complete surprise because there was a voucher included with the payment method. The good lady then left us alone for 10 minutes to deduct €25 from the total bill... Well, some people just have their problems. But even so, the service seemed a bit unprofessional and strange. Nevertheless, we had a nice day there and we were full, it was tasty and the atmosphere was impressive. But for culinary lovers or people who want a really fancy meal with appropriate service, they might be disappointed here.

Teníamos una recomendación para un restaurante cercano, pero decidimos que los precios allí eran demasiado altos para una cena casual, y por lo que terminamos aquí en su lugar. Fue una gran elección. La comida era deliciosa (aunque un poco pesado - el restaurante, después de todo, se llama la bodega de patatas) , el ambiente era genial, el servicio era bueno, y los precios eran razonables. Los tamaños de las porciones para las entradas son grandes, lo que significa que no había espacio para el postre al final, aunque las selecciones parecían tentadoras. Es un poco difícil de encontrar, pero está en el sótano del Hospital Heiligen - Geist, junto a un callejón que corre a lo largo del lado sur del antiguo edificio del hospital. Hay señales para ello en el lado sureste de la plaza principal. Definitivamente volvería, pero solo cuando tenga hambre, debido a los tamaños de las porciones.

Der Kartoffelkeller ist ein uriger, toll eingerichtetes Gewölbe. Wir wurden freundlich empfangen und zuvorkommend bedient.

Friendly and very accommodating service. I give the 4 stars for my pan fish and the dessert. What I have to say, however, is that the kale dish I was able to try was more than disappointing. Completely sugary and bland. No smokey taste as we know and are used to in the region. Even the Kasseler neck wasn't properly cooked through. Everything you could do wrong, you managed to do wrong. Russet potatoes also look different. Jacket potatoes with skin without bacon and taste... a shame for the cellar... you know it differently.

We ate there for the first time today. Really great. I would happily recommend you to others. Service gets a 10 as does the kitchen.

The restaurant is in the basement (as the name suggests) very rustic vaulted cellar, chic ambience and the food is super tasty, good and sufficient portion and the kale is a pleasure just as I know it and also love the Rösti pan a real pleasure for all the locals and the If you don't know it yet, go there and enjoy it. We come from southern Germany and have to say that if it suits you, we'd be happy to come back here. Simply a dream and recommended.

Potato gratin with hard potatoes, not much better on the second try. Potato pancakes either burnt or not cooked through. It was embarrassing for the serving staff, unfortunately they can't do anything for the cooks.

We were there at Christmas, the food came quickly, the drinks too and we were all able to eat together, there were 15 of us, that was great, the service was very good

Deliciosa comida. Para ser honesto, resultó bastante difícil conseguir una mesa para cenar en Lubeck antes de Navidad. La mayoría de los lugares que preguntamos eran en realidad simplemente groseros. El personal sin embargo @ Kartoffel Keller era acogedor y fue un cambio agradable que no se amontonan en 1000 clientes. Las porciones de comida eran grandes pero deliciosas. El mejor Schnitzel del viaje y mi marido tenía mariscos que estaban deliciosos. La cerveza era genial también. Me alegro de que encontramos este restaurante. Nos alegró nuestro viaje ya que muchos otros restaurantes simplemente no estaban interesados.

Very good food! However, it can happen that you sit cramped.

Very tasty cuisine. Friendly service staff

La comida es excelente y el personal es amable y conocedor. Asegúrese de reservar con antelación, ya que es un lugar muy popular.

Our company Christmas party took place there. VERY nice atmosphere. The food was excellent and generous portions. Friendly staff that was very quick and always attentive. There are very deserving ones from us 5 stars

We were here on December 26th, 2024, reserved online 2 days in advance, confirmation came after 1 hour. Completely uncomplicated. Ambience, service and food top. Disappointment? In no way. Everything was good. Highly recommended.

Good German cuisine in a rustic atmosphere. Nice service staff.

Spontaneously got 9 spaces, very nice service, parking space in front of the door.

We didn't eat anything, the menu was manageable, there was a lot of Christmas dinner with a lot of creamed savoy cabbage, we imagined something different under the name potato cellar, lots of dishes that focused on potatoes. Unfortunately that wasn't the case, it's a shame

Very good, super friendly staff and the food was tasty and very sufficient. By the way, you will be hosted by trainees, 1a!!!

Here we were in a large group with business partners. The service was great, the food was delicious and the rooms were nice too. The only disadvantage: the seating arrangement on benches and the noise level made conversations difficult. Nevertheless, it was a nice evening!

Lots of good food and drink.. Well worth a visit

I was there with a large group. The food was pre-ordered and everything went great. The potato soup tasted very good and it warmed us up well. The vaulted cellar is rustic. I'd love to come back!

I can't say anything about the food, I didn't even get that far. Unfortunately they couldn't offer me a place (1 person and 1 dog) because everything was supposedly reserved. But the tables were only 1/3 full. One person is probably not worth it during the Christmas season. Very unfriendly staff! Never again…

Very pleasant surroundings. It takes a long time for the food to arrive. The food was delicious. The service could be improved.

Very nice atmosphere in the old vault. The food was very good, but you should take some time. Very friendly service.

Very impressive restaurant, with old walls and vaults. The food is also very tasty and recommended

the schnitzel was unfortunately cold and very plain

Stood and waited for 15 minutes on arrival without being greeted. The staff were grumpy and seemed unapproachable. We just wanted a table for four people as the place had not responded to our online request either. In the end we went and found another restaurant where the service was top notch.

On a short trip I was looking for a nice restaurant. And I found what I was looking for in the Lübeck potato cellar. I was impressed by the beautiful vaults and so lovingly designed. The staff was great ... you felt comfortable from the first second. Friendly, easy-going and humane. Small conversations and the recommendation of food and drink were great. To eat ... very tasty and lovingly prepared Recommendation: Make where the entrance is more visible. And in the colder seasons Feel free to put on a warmer sweater.

It's extremely rude. Before even asking for a tip, they presented the amount they expected for the tip. Even if the food is good, this kind of behavior leaves a bad taste.

Very attentive service. Fast service. The food was excellent. I came here on a recommendation and can pass on the recommendation.

Pleasant restaurant in an old vaulted cellar. Good selection of food and drinks at reasonable prices and yes, the portions will definitely fill you up. For vegetarians the selection is a bit thin. Dogs are also allowed in the restaurant. I can definitely recommend the potato cellar.

Great place. Good service. Great meals.

A lovely authentic tea to come. It was so nice to sit down in the basement rooms under the large round arches under the Heiligen Geist Hospital. The food tasted fantastic and the service exceeded all expectations, even though it was very busy, there was always time for a smile and to ask about our well-being. A place will definitely come next year again.

Quaint restaurant with a real tavern atmosphere. The dishes we ordered, “pan fish” and “matjes with potato pancakes” were very tasty and lovingly prepared. Unfortunately we had to wait well over an hour for it. Even with a full house, this is still a long time. The service was very friendly, but also seemed a bit disorganized. Because of the great food, the potato cellar is definitely worth a visit!

We love the potato cellar. The atmosphere is unique, the food is absolutely delicious and the portions are really filling. We have also held family celebrations here several times. If you like potatoes, you should definitely stop by here. Attention, be sure to reserve, especially for evenings, even during the week! Although there are only a few vegetarian dishes, special requests are also catered for.

Historically beautiful place with lovely food

Can't understand the good reviews. Our food, pork medallions with fried potatoes and pollack with potato salad, was neither well prepared nor did it taste convincing. The pollock was completely tasteless and seemed like cheap frozen fish. Both meals were hardly seasoned at all. Portions are rather small and the service is rather unfriendly. No recommendation, there are so many better places in the area.

Two times turkey schnitzel with fries, meat very dry, carelessly prepared. Baked fish with bacon potato salad and side salad. The side dish was extremely sour. Did the chef drop the vinegar bottle? Waited 45 minutes and had drinks (only for two people, Alster water, cola) paid 77 euros. You can find better restaurants, especially in downtown Lübeck. Only the ambience is great.

Long wait for the food. The mashed potatoes with the panfish were definitely a ready-made meal from the bag. You don't expect a ready meal in the potato cellar.

Two people came in to have a beer, I said it when we entered and they sat us at a table, we asked the waiter for the beers and after a couple of minutes he came back and told us politely that he was sorry but that it is a restaurant and they don't serve just drink. I can understand it if the place is full, but it had half the tables empty. The two stars are due to the cosiness of the place and the correctness of the waiter.

Surprisingly mediocre for the price. 40 minutes passed until the first drink. The second drink took 20 minutes to arrive. Fried potatoes were quite bland despite fresh spring onions and russet onions. Schnitzel had a lot of gristle to it. Too bad.

Quaint restaurant in the vaulted cellar under the Holy Spirit Hospital. The service is friendly, the food comes quickly. Special requests (my husband only wanted fried potatoes with a fried egg) are also taken into account. We can only recommend the potato pancakes with apple compote and the fish soup. The price-performance ratio is definitely right here. The only thing I found annoying were the many cobwebs on the walls and lamps.

Very nice location, good food, service could be even better

Very nice environment to eat in. Good portions with very well prepared food.

Wir waren schon von der Location begeistert und sind spontan zum Abendessen erschienen, ohne Reservierung gäbe es vielleicht keine Möglichkeit überhaupt einen Tisch zu bekommen, so voll war es. Wir haben glücklicherweise einen schönen Platz gekriegt. Ein Kompliment an die Kellnerinnen, die scheinbar mühelos durch den Kartoffelkeller schwebten.👍👍👍 Das Gebäude ist wirklich sehr urig mit riesigen Wandgemälden und tollen Dekorationen, also sehr schön anzuschauen.⭐️⭐️⭐️ Wir haben einen wunderschönen Abend mit zur viert gehabt mit stimmungsvoller Atmosphäre und wirklich herausragendem Service. Bei uns auf dem Tisch gab es den Pannfisch, Fleischpfanne Hähnchenbrust und natürlich Kartoffelröstitaler mit Apfelmus. Beim Nachbarstisch gabs Eisbeinhaxen, die wirklich verdammt gut aussahen. Unser Essen war auch sehr schmackhaft und alle Gerichte kamen heiß an, sahen und rochen ausgezeichnet. Wir sind zur Städtereise in Lübeck, am liebsten würden wir täglich einkehren. Wir bedanken uns beim Koch und kommen bei nächster Gelegenheit wieder.
