Krug in Hamburg

Nice local food in a cosy atmosphere. List is short, so the choosing the food is easy also for us tourists.

The food is varied but unfortunately the range of dishes on offer is very poor. There was also a lack of a certain warm-up culture such as small appetizers. The duck wasn't really well done and the other dishes were pretty average. I may have been misled by the atmosphere and the rooms. It was ok but a bit too dark and narrow.

I've been to the Krug several times and have always been satisfied. However, my last visit was disappointing. We were served rather condescendingly by the staff and we had to wait a long time for our food. Our main course was probably forgotten. With a time slot of 2 hours, this shouldn't happen because we had to leave very abruptly afterwards. Drinks weren't refilled either, we were left stranded for an hour. There was no apology and we felt unwelcome. (Mind you, we were a group of girls who just wanted to have a nice evening, neither loud nor unpleasant). The food was really tasty but not outstanding either.

We've been there for the third time and were just as excited as the first time. This time we enjoyed it more spontaneously, but that's okay too. We'll definitely be back😀 see you soon ✌️

First of all - chapeau for the great kitchen performance in the smallest of spaces. We had a pleasant evening, with good service and a great atmosphere. The concept is fun and we will definitely come back.

We came spontaneously without a reservation and were warmly welcomed and given a table that was later reserved. This was clearly communicated and the time frame was ok for us. The staff was very nice and relaxed and made you feel welcome and seen. Small room, dim lighting, lots of tables close together, very quaint and cozy. The food was very, very good. A small, fine card. Everything is of the best quality and wonderfully freshly prepared. Best wines and a delicious deer kiss to say goodbye - thank you very much for a lovely evening with you 🫶

Food and wine very good, unfortunately not really hospitable

Nice little restaurant in St.Pauli. Atmosphere and service is nice, the quality of the food still has room for improvement. Goulash, for example, still has a lot of untapped potential.

Tasty, fast, friendly service, just a little expensive

A real insider tip for incredibly delicious food! The concept is great!

Really nice restaurant with high level food. They also have a small but good wine list. It was good surprise!

Great food but bad service. We had almost all the dishes and were very happy with the dishes. Unfortunately, the service was not commensurate with the great food and delicious wines. The service was listless and sometimes unfriendly and annoyed.

Really my favorite restaurant in Hamburg. Super cozy, family atmosphere, great service, excellent food (a small but fine menu) and great wines. And at really fair prices. I love it.

A wonderful evening with great food and excellent service.

I've often eaten at the Krug, but today was really sensational. Small, fine shop, sophisticated and original starters (we all shared), main course was sooooo good, especially the sauce. Can't be done better and still relaxed and comfortable.

Cool recommendation in Hamburg. You don't expect the quality of food in the area. Small menu & excellent quality.

we came here to celebrate my girlfriend’s birthday and we totally loved it at krug! the staff was incredible kind and the menu was for us as veggies perfect to handle. our dishes were extra delicious as was our rosé. everything was cooked to perfection. we also liked the robust style of the interior. prices are fine for the quality of the food - we will come back for sure ☺️

Tagliatelle with cream sauce and fruit was really to die for! Wine list very good. We also really liked the service and ambience! Not a cheap restaurant, but affordable and the price is more than reasonable for what you get!

Excelente! Todo era perfecto, la comida el servicio, el lugar! Fuimos allí sin salir niño de diez años y sin duda recomiendo😊

Kleine Auswahl – aber die hat es in sich. Als Vorspeise ein hervorragendes Rindertartar, dann wunderbar zartes Maishähnchen und als Nachspeise ein herrlich leichtes Passionsfrucht-Mousse. Dazu einen Vinho-Verde-Rosé. Das in einer Äußerst angenehmen Umgebung mit einer sehr freundlichen und aufmerksamen Bedienung. Es war ein toller Abend dort. Danke!

We had an incredibly lovely evening in the Krug! Great ambience, nice & attentive service and delicious food. Only the pasta would have been much tastier with a handful of fewer berries. I think the concept of the small card is great and I also liked the “living room” atmosphere. If I lived in Hamburg, I would probably do honor to the “Stammtisch”. I felt very comfortable here & it was definitely not my last visit.

Super delicious food and great service. We had a very nice evening there.

We had a very nice evening with delicious food and a great ambience. Thanks.

There were two of us and we got a window seat. I had reserved the table online several days in advance. It was very easy and I received an official reservation confirmation by email within a few hours and even a reminder on the day of the reservation. We arrived there 10 minutes early, but we were still warmly welcomed and our table was already ready. Both operators worked with a smile on their faces and had a lot of fun at work. The interior of the restaurant is rather small, but very cozy. The menu includes three starters, three main courses and a dessert or cheese plate. You can always choose between vegetarian, fish and meat courses, but special requests are also taken into account here. Portions are rather small, but incredibly tasty. The only disadvantage: Our plates from the main course were cleared away and we wanted something to drink and a dessert, but the waitress avoided eye contact and didn't respond to hand signals, so we had to wait almost 20 minutes before we could order something again. We personally didn't mind it, but we might still pay attention to the guests more often. Definitely worth a visit, but reservations are essential.

AWESOME, actually I would give it 6 stars. I can fully agree with the positive reviews. The food was perfectly cooked and seasoned optimally for our taste. Actually, I usually add more salt, but it wasn't necessary. Which doesn't mean it was oversalted; My wife never adds salt, and it was perfect for her too. So very seasoned. The service was also very competent, pleasant, friendly and attentive without being intrusive. We were well advised when choosing wine and found something delicious. Price performance absolutely appropriate. Unfortunately, we couldn't enjoy the beautiful ambience as we were given a seat in front of the neighboring café, which was very convenient for us as it was a bit quieter. And the service didn't suffer in any way. All in all, we had a very nice evening and we will definitely visit the Krug more often.

Mini restaurant. Very cozy. If you like it tight, this is the place for you. So that was the only thing that was a BIT uncomfortable. Fantastic food, great taste, incredibly fine. Only 3 dishes to choose from but there is definitely something for everyone. Interesting compositions that define a wonderful taste. Friendly service except for the lady behind the bar. Price performance high but still fair.

Fantastic cozy place, lovely atmosphere and nice staff who helped us translate the German menu. The food was great, good flavor combinations and filling portions. Definitely worth a visit!!

Superb diner experience at Krug. You can tell the team is really passionate about their restaurant, and the chef is incredibly talented. Excellent flavours and top quality seasonal food. The team makes great efforts to speak English and help with our very basic German. Very happy with our dinner and would 100% come again.

The food, the wine, the service - everything was great. We received very friendly and warm service throughout the evening. Special requests regarding the food were also no problem. We will definitely come back!

Very nice service, great food and cozy shop.

Really nice restaurant!! I always like to come back👌

Cena ottima! Salmone su letto di crema di patate dolci,delizioso. Dessert di mousse di cioccolato bianco e frutta,sapori speciali. Location raccolta e curata nei dettagli.

Unfortunately I can't rate the food yet.

Just wow. Great food, a friendly host who gave us good advice, a small and cozy restaurant, good drinks and an all-round lovely evening. I particularly liked the concept of the menu: five starters, three main courses (fish, meat, vegetarian), two desserts. That's it. All exquisite. We had all three dishes at our table and couldn't decide which was the best. People don't need anything more! Thank you for the wonderful evening! Thumbs up and keep it up! 👍

Our visit at Krug was the perfect ending to what felt like the first day of Spring. The food is simple and yet elegant with the clear feeling that the small details matter. The atmosphere is very friendly and we felt well taken care of and appreciated as customers 😊

Everything was great, great food and great service! Only recommended

Thank you for the great service and the delicious food!!🙂 very reduced menu, which I always love. We had a lovely evening and will definitely come back!

Visited the Krug on a recommendation on a Tuesday. An unforgettable evening! A very cozy atmosphere, with dimmed lights and very romantic. The service in particular must be praised! Rarely have I received such good and friendly service. Time was taken, there was a small wine tasting and we were warmly welcomed even without a reservation (which I would recommend is only possible online) and everything was pulled out to accommodate us. The drink selection was very good, especially the aperitif. The starter (whipped butter and Duroc pork loin) was incredibly good! Perfectly seasoned. The main courses (wild garlic gnocchi and saltimbocca variation) were well thought out, but failed somewhat due to the implementation. Unfortunately, the side dish for the saltimbocca was only lukewarm, but the meat was still on point and well seasoned. Unfortunately, the gnocchi were too oily and lacked the complexity to stand out. As a meat eater, I was rather disappointed when comparing it with the Saltimbocca. The price for two starters, two main courses and four drinks was around €115, which I was happy to pay. All in all, I would warmly recommend the jug!

One of my favorite restaurants in Hamburg. Small but fine menu, delicious wines and a super cozy and inviting atmosphere!

The restaurant was recommended to us several times and we went there today. And will come back here. Simply outstanding in all respects. Thank you for your hospitality 🤗

An insider tip (or not). A reservation is advisable. The menu is very short and simple - 4 starters, 3 main courses and 2 desserts. When we were there there was roast beef with red cabbage, fried stone cabbage fillet (wild caught) and a vegan roast chestnut. The food was prepared in the open kitchen and was of the very best quality. Everything without any frills.

Exceptionally good cuisine, very cozy, very nice service, so 5 stars

Ausgezeichnetes Essen, Atmosphäre und Service. Sowohl das Fleisch- als auch das Fischgericht waren fantastisch. Ich werde auf jeden Fall wiederkommen.

Einfach ein genialer Laden mit super freundlichen Mitarbeiterinnen und super leckerem Essen! 5 Sterne ist ein Stern zu wenig. Danke

Sehr gutes Essen in einer sehr entspannten und gemütlichen Atmosphäre. Dazu war der Service freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein Stern Abzug für das Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis. Die Qualität der Gerichte ist mit Sicherheit sehr gut, trotzdem erscheinen die Preise etwas überteuert.

Habe sehr viel gutes über den Laden gehört, daher war die Messlatte für mich wahrscheinlich zu hoch. Wir kamen rein und haben uns nicht abgeholt gefühlt. Ein Herr fragte ob wir reserviert hätten und hat nicht mal Hallo oder Willkommen gesagt, was leider einen negativen Beigeschmack bei mir gegeben hat (natürlich hatte ich reserviert). Es gibt sehr wenig Gerichte, was für mich Charme hat, aber es wäre schön wenn sich die Kellner Zeit nehmen würden die wenigen Speisen den Gästen zu erklären, anstatt zu sagen dass man sich ein Foto von der Speisekarte an der Bar machen soll. Die Dame als zweite Bedienung war dann aber sehr freundlich. Essen war eine 7/10. Getränke und Weinkarte gut. Insgesamt overrated.

Sehr sehr gutes Restaurant. Fantastischer Service und sehr leckere Karte. Es gibt jeweils 1 Vegetarische 1 Fleisch 1 Fisch Gericht. Wir kommen defintiv wieder

Really nice food! We went last week for a family dinner and really enjoyed. The waitress was new but she was amazing, made the effort to translate the menu for us into English and she was really attentive through the whole dinner. Something I found really nice is that we order a wine and it was sold out, and the wine we got recommended was good and also cheaper, nice to receive an honest rec. Menu changes - it is not always the same. Update November 2023: came back a few months later and still great 👍🏼

Gemütliches Restaurant, mit kleiner, wechselnder Karte ☺️ für einen besonderen und schönen Abend kommen wir gerne wieder.

Die Vorspeise und Nachspeise waren excellent, aber der Lachs sehr dürftig

Wunderbarer Abend mit wahnsinnig leckerem (vegetarischen) essen!

***** muss man(n) noch mehr sagen?

Schönes kleines Restaurant auf St. Pauli mit kleiner Karte, sehr gutem Essen und freundlichem Service.

Ochsenbäckchen waren super lecker, die anderen Speisen eher mittelmäßig Langsamer Service bzw zu wenig Personal Tolles Ambiente

Unser Lieblingsrestaurant, weil hier einfach alles stimmt und wir uns stets so willkommen fühlen. Leckerstes Essen, liebevolles Ambiente in spannender Gegend. Danke liebes Team vom Krug!

A Traum! Gemütlich, nett und sehr gut!

A great restaurant! A real treat! One of the best! Shame it's so noisy

Hervorragendes Essen zu fairen Preisen und freundliches Personal. Vielen Dank für den tollen Abend :)

Tolle Atmosphäre, leckeres Essen: traditionsbewusst, deliziös Wirklich nette Bedienung

Awesome place with the menu on the wall so I guess it changes regularly. Super nice staff and awesome food with a great selection of wine.

Exquisite and delicious menu that changes every week. Cozy interior w fantastic ambiance. Ole was an incredible host. My biggest regret is forgetting to ask the name of a chef who’s creations for that evening were absolute masterpieces.

amazing little spot: delicious vermouth, tasty dishes and fantastic service.

Super sympathisch und tolles Essen zu einem mehr als fairen Preis.

Selten so gut gegessen 👍🏼 Ich kann Krug Wärmsteins empfehlen und ich werde definitiv nochmal wieder vorbei schauen.

Toller Laden. Das Ambiente ist kuschelig, das Essen lecker und der Service super. Für ein Erstes Date - Top!

Great place where locals eat. Always changing menues. Ask the boss for wine recommendations. Your die wir haben will get 10 min free lecture 😊in

God och vällagad mat till rimliga priser. Väldigt trevlig och hjälpsam personal som förklarade på engelska vad rätterna innehöll. Liten men mysig lokal.

Wir sind spontan beim Krug vorbeigegangen und waren direkt begeistert vom Ambiente. Draußen sind kleine Mini Tische an denen Wein getrunken werden kann, die Karte ist klein, saisonal aber jedes Gericht liest sich extrem gut und das Essen war wirklich ausgezeichnet lecker. Auch der Anspruch viel auf Nachhaltigkeit und Demeter Qualität zu setzen fand ich extrem toll. Wir kommen bestimmt ganz bald wieder. Danke für den spontanen Tisch und den schönen Abend.

Super Qualität der kleinen Karte und guter Service. Restaurant etwas eng und laut aber die Stimmung ist trotzdem sehr entspannt.

Bombastisch - ab sofort mein Lieblingsrestaurant - einfach ausprobieren, wenn auch nicht ganz preiswert.

Very high quality food but and lovely staff but it just took so long for the food to arrive!

Vom herzlichen Hallo, über eine tolle Atmosphäre und super Speis & Trank bis hin zur unfassbaren Freundlichkeit des Personals, einfach WOW! Wir kommen beim nächsten HH Besuch gerne wieder!

Sehr gutes Essen und freundlichen Bedienung. Preis, Leistung stimmt. Tolles Ambiente. Tischen stehen etwas eng aneinander so das man nicht viel privacy hat.

Wir waren mit Freunden in diesem urigen Lokal. Die Bedienung war freundlich und das Essen schmackhaft. Leider war ich der Fahrer und konnte daher das Weinangebot nicht näher testen. Auf jeden Fall sollten wir da noch mal hinfahren....

Vi bokade bord tilll 20.15 och kom till restaurangen 20.20 men inget bord var klart så vi fick vänta en stund. Blev anvisade ett bord vid det öppna fönstret (inget bra då folk som gick ut för att röka stod direkt utanför och de kunde lika gärna stå inne då röken ändå kom in ). Vi fick vänta en tjugo minuter för att beställa vin och dryck, och sedan ytterligare för att beställa mat. Maten kom efter 2 timmar!!! Vi var beredda att lämna restaurangen efter den långa väntan men då till sist lovade de att det skull endast dröja 2 minuter och det tog 5 minuter så kom maten. Maten var bra men organisationen absolut under all kritik. Kocken var ensam i köket och eftersom restaurangen var full, så var det en omöjlighet att han skulle klara av så många beställningar i tid. Personalen bestod av ägaren som inte gav oss någon direkt uppmärksamhet och en flicka som absolut inte jobbade för att gästerna skulle hållas glada under den otroligt långa väntetiden, utan stod mest bakom baren och stirrade. När vi skulle betala upptäckte vi att de tog 3€ för kranvatten och de skyllde dessutom den långa väntetiden på att vi hade kommit en halvtimme sent...ingen trevlig upplevelse för oss och vi lämnade stället alldeles för sent och besvikna. Om ni har gott om tid och uppskattar eller står ut med en stökig och oordnad miljö, så har de god mat i alla fall. Vi kan inte rekommendera restaurangen och välj hellre att mer ordnat ställe för en god kväll i Hamburg.

With no reservation we were welcomed and offered seats outside at the next door restaurant- which worked out perfectly. Our waiter was charming and took time to explain the German menu to us in English. There was a veg, fish and meat option for both starters and main course - all fresh local ingredients. We had a great meal and enjoyed the local atmosphere.

Outstanding! Both food and service. Very relaxed atmosphere, food cooked with fresh ingredients, menu changing every other hour depending on what ingredients chef has in the kitchen. Waiter went above and beyond, but in the manned when you don't feel like someone is taking care of you. It is very rare to find this sort of place and you definitely need to try it.

great food - menu was small but oh my how good - all three courses were top draw - veggie meat and fish highly recommended for a lovely meal

Super Service, super Essen - tolle frische Küche, geringe Wartezeit, Preis-Leistung überzeugend - wir würden wiederkommen!

Great food and great service. The place exudes cosiness and good atmosphere. A little hidden extraordinary experience

Ce restaurant nous a été recommandé par la receptionniste de notre hébergement et nous sommes enchantés par cette découverte. Petit resto dans une rue éloignée des rues à touristes de St Pauli. Peu de choix sur la carte mais plats de qualité. Nous avons pris entrée, plat et desserts avec un verre de vin... 94 € Un peu cher mais sans regret !

Tolle Location, nettes Personal und leckeres, kreatives Essen. Für uns als Weintrinker war für jeden etwas dabei. Vollkommen unkompliziert durften wir aus mehreren Weinen probieren, welcher uns am besten schmeckt. Kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Das Restaurant, Ambiente und Personal ist sehr angenehm. Die Speisekarte klein und übersichtlich, die Küche offen! Alles gute Voraussetzungen, dass man meinen könnte, das wird super. Nur das Essen passte nicht. Die Wahl viel auf einen Bulgur-Salat mit warmem Ziegenkäse und Aprikosenmarmelade. (w) Die Bitte aus der Vorspeise ein Hauptgericht zu machen wurde quittiert mit 5€ Aufschlag ( dann also knapp 18€) und einem Löffel Bulgur-Salat mehr. Für den Preis erwarten wir aber nicht Konfitüre ausm Glas ;-). !!! Wir drei Männer versuchten uns an Kalbsgeschnetzeltem mit Nudeln und Pfifferlingen. Lecker, die Soße für unseren Geschmack zu flüssig, die 3-4 Fleischstücken für knapp 22€ zu dürftig bemessen. Geschmacklich eher auf dem Niveau meiner Oma, zu der Zeit als Gewürze unbekannt, teuer waren. Da kitzelt jeder Hobby-Koch mehr raus. Dafür gab es reichlich Pasta. Fazit: Guter Wein, schöne Lokalität, nur Essen sollten man vielleicht vorher woanders. Speziell: Für Liebhaber guter Musik gibt es jede Menge schwarzer Scheiben und einen Plattenspieler auf dem Tresen, man wird gut musikalisch unterhalten!

Die Lage des Ladens und dessen Interieur sind sehr nett, gemütlich und stilvoll. Wir waren an einem Samstagabend da, Reservierung ist ein Muss. Die Bedienung war irgendwas zwischen cool, latent aggressiv und unfreundlich. Das kann man hanseatisch oder daneben finden. Tendenz letzteres. Wir haben insgesamt bestimmt eine halbe Stunde vor leeren Gläsern gesessen. Der Wein war okay aber überteuert. Die Vorspeise war dann wirklich okay, aber ebenso überteuert. Es gab Vitello Tonato sowie Cevice vom Kabeljau. Beides nett, aber eben nicht so exzellent wie andere Bewertung es vermuten ließen. Der Hauptgang war dann eine absolute Enttäuschung. Tagiatelle a la Jamie mit Sahne und Dosenerbsen ertränkt. Unmutig und umkreativ gewürzt. Das dann für 20 €. Also: Wer schick irgendwo sitzen will um ein Glas Wein und eine Vorspeise zu konsumieren, dem kann man nicht regelrecht abraten, wenn einem garstiger Service egal ist und man nicht dazu neigt, sich über ein schlechtes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis zu ärgern. Alle die abseits von hippen Pseudoconnoisseuren wert auf wirklich gutes Essen, guten Wein und netten Service legen, sei abgeraten.

Habe mir hier den Tipp für den Krug geholt und wir waren wirklich begeistert. Kleines Restaurant in uriger und gemütlicher Atmosphäre , dazu leckeres Essen und gut gekühlten Grauburgunder. Die Karte ist sehr beschaulich, aber Fisch, Fleisch und ein vegetarisches Gericht. Noch ein paar Vorspeisen, Salate und 1 Dessert. Die Karte wechselt wöchentlich. Es lohnt sich. Guten Appetit 🍽
