Laufauf in Hamburg

I see good quality, even at lunch.

We reserved online for lunch (which is really recommended), absolutely easy and got a good seat. Very friendly service, despite the many guests, quick service with drinks and food. Everything was delicious, good portions from the lunch menu and many other delicacies to choose from. Fish and meat consistently good. We would love to come back!

Great gastropub, superb lunch specials, quick and friendly service, what a find. Thanks a lot!

It's a restaurant that reflects Hamburg's old atmosphere very well, with a very polite Turkish waiter. The food is great, the portions are a bit big, it's better to ask for caution, some dishes can be shared by two people, the beers were also very good.

A bit loud and narrow! Food normal average 😊

We ate there twice during our stay in Hamburg. Once for lunch and once for dinner. We weren't disappointed both times. The service was always attentive, the food was always hot and tasty. The prices are definitely reasonable.

Schnitzel was good. If you’re looking for a local place and beer, would be nice choice.

Everything was good but the dish came with an extra surprise sausage cut in half. I don't know if it's part of the dish or if it was a reused dish. Strange.

Quaint restaurant with very tasty food and drinks. Service very good. Come again.

Great old dining room. A bit tight. Food with decent portions and very tasty. Good selection.

A small, quaint restaurant with very friendly, fast and always attentive service. The food arrived within a very short time and tasted very good. The portions are large and the house liqueur is recommended👍🏻 Dass Laufauf will definitely always be an address when we are in Hamburg.

I really enjoyed the food, the portion size was just right for me, and the service was quick and friendly. The prices for lunch are reasonable.

The price-performance ratio is great, with very good cuisine and great service. No matter whether there is little or a lot going on. Everything is so quaint and cozy. We were there for the first time yesterday and again today before heading back home. We will come here again on every future visit to Hamburg.

Everything was very good with this place. It was coincidentally visiting and eating but they helped us to find a place and really fast. It was just extremely hot inside.

We really liked it...the panfish with fried potatoes was a poem and the goose leg with dumplings was also delicious...All in all, there's nothing to complain about 😁

It was crowded and loud and we had to wait a long time for food. Anyone who likes kale was sure to be happy. My mushroom casserole was rather bland and the mushrooms were probably not fresh. To pay you had to go to the checkout, where there was a queue like in a supermarket.

Traditional and authentic food, it comes in huge portions. We had the pan fish and the herring in cream sauce. The fried potatoes that come with the fish are the highlight of the dishes, absolutely delicious.

A wonderful location to get together and eat delicious food. Certainly a little noisy but that can't ruin a good evening.

Super tasty, kale with fried potatoes etc. was really good, roast beef too 😁

The service was very good. Unfortunately we didn't really like the food. The meat was very tough and some of the potatoes were undercooked. After pointing this out, we didn't have to pay for the meal, very accommodating and nice.

After we unfortunately arrived late the evening before and the kitchen had already closed (our mistake), we came back the following lunchtime and were warmly welcomed with a “nice that you want to try it again today”. The waiters were super friendly and sweet. The atmosphere is like in a good old German pub or a good old tavern. That was one of the reasons we really wanted to try it. There were some delicious dishes and once again I couldn't decide. The house recommended the roast beef to me, which I also shortlisted and ultimately took. The potatoes were perfect, not too limp, not too hard, the roast beef itself was very tasty and just right, the salad went perfectly with it too. It tasted very good. After the meal we obviously had one or two beers - as is usual in a good old pub. Nice climate and a great atmosphere. We got into conversation with the waitress and other guests - I found it very nice. I liked it overall. I can recommend it with a clear conscience. Keep it up! :)

Nice, quaint restaurant with German cuisine. Very tasty goose leg eaten with dumplings and red cabbage. Service great. The only negative point is the poor ventilation.

An excellent establishment, everything is very polite, tasty and there are dishes that cannot be found in other German cities. Ukrainians also work in the institution, so 5 stars)

Awesome! Go taste some very traditional dishes at very good quality👍🏻

Extremely tasty, home-style restaurant with decent portions and very friendly hosts who are happy to take the time for a small talk. You feel comfortable here. We can highly recommend the kale dishes. We would be happy to come back the next time we visit Hamburg.

Authentic, super tasty and great staff

So nice people and I love here Wiener Schnitzel. If my fam or friends visit me to HH, then I will come here definitely.

Very good food, very tasty fried potatoes. But be sure to reserve in advance, otherwise you won't get a table.

I saw the Laufauf restaurant as I was driving past and made a note of it for my next visit to Hamburg. The good impression was not deceptive. Traditional German cuisine, very good service and a rustic atmosphere. Great lunch menu. I'll definitely come back.

very friendly, competent service. rustic, cozy atmosphere. Rustic dishes, very tasty and generous portions. gladly again. Seats should be reserved in advance in the evening due to high demand

And another store for the Hamburg list. Traditional dishes in a rustic atmosphere with top service. BEST kale with cooked sausage so far.

Sorry, this is what the review should look like. It was a great evening, the food was very 👍 good. Always happy.

We were there for lunch and found a cozy restaurant. The waitress/waiter were very nice. Our son ordered pumpkin soup, which he didn't like and in exchange he got pasta with tomato sauce - great. My pumpkin casserole was simply replaced with feta cheese instead of goat cheese - really great. The warm round piece from my husband was so sufficient that we had it packed up. Thank you for the great service, when we are back in Hamburg - we will stop by again.

Nice restaurant with hearty dishes, deliciously prepared and served to the point. Special requests are also taken into account. Attention: If you reserve online, you “only” have the table for 90 minutes.

A wide selection of lovely hearty German food. Very helpful stuff. Quick service. Great for a quick but substantial bite or a longer pause

A wonderful restaurant in the original 1960s style - delicious food, generous portions, fair prices! And - with "Rundstück warm" there is even a very, very rare rarity in the "Laufauf"!

If you’re in Hamburg, if you want to try German food… this place you must go! Excellent service, delicious food. An in the end dessert was surprisingly tasty too!

Very good restaurant with exquisite traditional food, a cozy atmosphere and a lovely family smell..🫠

We both had kale. So delicious! And the schnapps afterwards was on the house. Where else can you find something like that? Thanks!

Had kale with salmon steak - hot, tasty, super nice staff. A must for kale fans! :-))

Good to explore the German food, if you like it. But also some other options besides pork.

Sehr nettes,uriges Lokal. Leckere deutsche Küche. Alles frisch. Man hörte wie Schnitzel geklopft werden in der Küche 🙂Nette Bedienung. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Super delicious wiener schnitzel, formidable and very attentive service! Cozy and authentic surroundings!

Great food, excellent beer and very friendly staff.

Nice old-fashioned / cozy restaurant, friendly and attentive service, delicious food. All thumbs up for this owner-run restaurant

A really lovely place to enjoy a meal and drinks with friendly helpful staff.

Very nice and very tasty. Reservation is required. Waiting times are a bit long, but the food is very good. A visit is definitely recommended.

My favourite restaurant during my week in Hamburg. Try their special liqueur too... 😋

Good restaurant..good quality of German food and reasonable price.

The atmosphere was great. Food 8 out of 10 Staff friendly!

A successful evening with delicious food and great hospitality. Thanks to a great team 🙂

It was very DELICIOUS. We had Labskaus as a starter. Our children were like vultures... If we hadn't stopped them, the parents would have nothing get it. BUT BETTER RESERVE!!! We were lucky.

a typical crowded and cozy German restaurant. we ate schnitzel which was large and tasted good.

Beautiful location in the heart of Hamburg. Great food, good portions, good value for money.

Cozy, delicious food, typical Hamburg cuisine,

It's a small and quiet shop, with dim lights and a relaxing atmosphere. It's easy to find because it's centrally located, but if you come by car, parking may be a problem during peak hours. First of all, the service attendant was very friendly and polite. We were very pleased with the service. Having English menus for foreigners is a smart move. We ordered schnitzel and roast beef. Roast beef is served cold. Along with very delicious steak slices with well-adjusted cooking temperature, roasted potatoes with onion and bacon in gratin form are delicious. I cannot say that the Schnitzel was very good, it was a little dry and the taste did not appeal to our taste. As someone who loves dark beer, I loved the Hövels beer I found here. If you like dark, be sure to try it. When paying the bill, they ask how much tip you want to leave. A shop that is obviously successful in local dishes won our appreciation even though it was not to our taste.

Very comfortable, very down to earth, self-confident. Rightly so. Delicious, friendly, uncomplicated, spontaneous, funny, quick and cozy. International. 👍

You should definitely eat here if you are in Hamburg!

Wir haben in dem urigen Lokal sehr gut zu Abend gegessen. Zum Glück hatten wir eine Woche zuvor reserviert, sonst hätten wir keine Chance gehabt einen Tisch zu bekommen. Die Speisekarte ist gut bürgerlich und der Auflauf, den wir hatten war ausgesprochen lecker. Auch der Salat mit dem Knoblauchbrot hat sehr gut geschmeckt. Klare Empfehlung für dieses Lokal.

The waiter was very unpleasant and angry when we told him not to bother giving money change after paying. He wanted a tip (but it wasn't a tip at that time, just like you tell a cashier not to bother giving change for a €9.90 bill when you're giving €10 !). We were planning to give a substantial tip at reception but we saw the waiter laughing at us with his colleague in German, thinking that we wouldn't understand him.

For us, Laufauf is the address for honest and straightforward home cooking. This is not meant to be derogatory at all. The Laufauf impresses with great quality, friendly and attentive service and a feel-good atmosphere

Nice restaurant. We were there spontaneously in the early evening and managed to get a spot. However, it is better to make a reservation. My schnitzel was great and the blueberry dessert is super delicious!

Quiet, homely and beautiful place to enjoy typical food. The quantities are generous.

The food was super tasty and the portions were very large. Service was friendly and accommodating

Authentic German food and atmosfere. Book in advance or be there early!

Good restaurant with traditional German food

Traditional, typical food in an authentic atmosphere - simply great.

We didn't have a reservation but they still found a place for us. The atmosphere was quaint. Maybe a little too cramped but comfortable. The waiter was very friendly, personable, tried hard but not intrusive. The food came quickly, was plentiful and very tasty!

We sat there with the family in the evening. Authentic pub, very friendly service, the Labskaus were excellent, the pan fish and the Wienerschnitzel too. The atmosphere is cool, we felt very comfortable there and would go there again.

Quaint Hamburger restaurant, reservation recommended. We were there with friends from Hamburg and it is cozy and rustic. We didn't dare try Labskaus but Pannfisch etc. were very tasty 😋

A must visit restaurant in Hamburg. We tried the salad, schnitzel which was excellent and the kids enjoyed their pasta as well. The employees took care of us very well and took the time to explain the dishes. Highly recommend it.

Great choice at Hamburg to taste local food. We completely recommend this choice. I come for the same WindExibition each two years and we always attend this restaurant. See you in 2026.

Local craft beer quite good but Wiener Schnitzel was not crispy at all and full of cooking oil together with grilled potatoes.

Typical German cuisine, authentic feel setting and good value for money. The staff was very friendly and they had English menus available. They have a big menu including all the German staples - schnitzel, fish etc. Really good food, generous portions. You must have the garlic bread it’s incredible 😍

Great restaurant, great food, great service.

The food wasn't of any particular quality for the price. You can do it, but you don't have to. But the service was very nice!

The service is friendly, the place is cozy. The clip was a great size. The price level is typical for Hamburg.

A place I visit every time I go on a business trip!

Very nice, rustic restaurant. The service was very attentive and friendly and you immediately felt welcome. The food was just great. The casseroles are highly recommended, fresh and delicious . We had a very nice evening.

Very tasty food. The service is pleasantly relaxed and courteous. Price is definitely appropriate for the quality and quantity. I would be a regular here if I lived around the corner.

Place made up of small rooms, quite welcoming. The service was courteous, with menus also in English, even if the dishes arrived very slowly. I ate the soufflé with salmon and I liked it, the small portion is a fairly large dish. The large beer is the half-liter one. Average prices for the city.

Locale composto da piccole salette, abbastanza accoglienti. Il servizio è stato cortese, con menù anche in inglese, anche se i piatti sono arrivati molto lentamente. Ho mangiato il soufflé con salmone e mi è piaciuto, la porzione piccola è una pirofila abbastanza grande. La birra grande è quella da mezzo litro. Prezzi medi per la città.

The food was excellent, the service was very friendly and quick. Payment with Google Pay, so everything is fine.

Despite the full house, the gentlemen were very friendly. The longer waiting time for the food was communicated immediately upon arrival. As an apology we received coffee or schnapps on the house. But the wait for the food was worth it. That was very good

Great old restaurant, rustic food and no frills.

Offerta ampia di cibo tradizionale tedesco. Discreta qualità e buon servizio. Personale cortese, prezzi abbordabili. Consigliato.

Quaint restaurant. Stylishly furnished in a Hanseatic style. Friendly service. Definitely pay a visit.

Here you can get delicious food at normal prices. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We would love to come back here.

Very good address for typical North German dishes. Old but very well preserved rustic restaurant with extremely friendly service.

This place came up in our phone app as serving German food with a high standard, and since it is centrally located, we decided to give it a try. We didn't have reservations, and we were greeted with some amount of hostility by the host, who obviously has disdain for tourists. After being seated, we received our menus and discovered a rather limited selection of German dishes... and it seemed that most people were ordering the Weinerschnitzel, which did look quite good. Wanting to try something a bit more regional, we both ordered the casseroles, which were quite filling but not particularly tasty. While we were eating the couple next to us had ordered the fish plate, and we regretted not ordering that since it looked excellent and it was obvious that the value for money was much better with one of those dishes. The service was typically European, they kinda leave you alone unless you ask for something, and if you need to pay the check with a credit card you need to get up and go to the cash register. What definitely turned us off to this place is that one of the waiters was serving a couple who was visiting from the UK, and they received a German language menu. The guest asked for an English menu, and the server kinda went off on her, saying that she wasn't a mind reader and making a big deal about it. If I were that couple, I would have been mortified and would have immediately left the restaurant. So if you are foreign, you might want to be aware that this place does not provide much of a warm welcome... Overall, this is okay food with okay pricing that is conveniently located and we would never go back to... Okay?

Typical restaurant in Hamburg. The servers were friendly and smiling. Generous dishes. Very good value for money

We were here for lunch. There are 2 daily specials from Monday to Friday. We ordered WIENER SCHNITZEL from the regular menu and were satisfied. Home-style cuisine is offered. The ambience is wonderfully nostalgic from another time. I liked that.

Simply wonderful! I've wanted to try northern German cuisine for a long time. I'm your regular now.

Great restaurant with a cozy atmosphere. Staff super friendly. Despite the large group, we didn't have to wait long for our food.

Authentic Hamburg pub. Very tasty dishes on the lunch menu too. We were there twice at lunchtime. Was always full. Broccoli casserole, herring with fried potatoes or plaice with potato salad. Everything was very tasty and cooked perfectly. Can only be recommended.

It's a mini slice of Germany inside restaurant as in cosy and traditional. The server was friendly and prompt. Tried a starter called the Labskaus which is a north German specialty. It has a nice mix of salty sweet and sour. I was shocked that it was such a huge plate. For 9 euros it's super value for money. Their fish platter was also tasty and hearty. Highly recommended!

Delicious German home cooking. The dishes are simple but very tasty. The service was friendly and accommodating. The atmosphere is rustic and quaint. We felt very comfortable.

Food is low average like it could be on a staff canteen. Salad is fresh but the others ingredients don't seem to have any quality, from mushrooms to roastbeef let alone the herrings not even close to the ones from brucke10. The usual tourist thing, probably encoureaged by the lonely planet raccomandation. Finally i know that hamburg is expensive but prices are outrageous. Few examples: a plate with tasteless mushrooms old eggs and a small salad 20 euro. Beer is the very industrial boring one and again so damn pricey and, you won't believe it, but 25 cl of water is like 5 euros or more!!

Sehr nette zuvorkommende Bedienung. Sehr gutes Essen . Qualitativ hochwertige, Portionen groß. Schneller Service. Kommen gerne wieder.

Wow… excellent restaurant in Hamburg recommended to try!!!
