LAURENT Hamburg - Authentisch Süd italienische Küche - (epura) in Hamburg

What an all-round successful evening. The staff is very attentive, polite and friendly. The food was perfect!!! I had the daily special. Grilled tuna that was so tender it melted in your mouth. It's a little more expensive, but it's really worth it!!! A great high-class Italian. Grace!!!

The food was delicious, the service was also great but the prices are ridiculously high and the amounts of food is not enough. for me the price is an important factor. I

Such a beautiful and delicious restaurant. Absolute recommendation

Great, upscale, very tasty cuisine...

Great service. Friendly, nice and accommodating.

The service was attentive and nice. Personally, I don't think the food was justified compared to the prices, it was normal. The ambience is nice.

Chicly decorated restaurant. Nice staff However, very overpriced. The rump steak posted was tough and, at just under €40, simply exorbitant for its size

Four of us went to the restaurant for dinner. Our two kiddies, ages 1 and 3, and we were warmly welcomed by the restaurant team. Overall, the service was impeccable: when the glass was empty, we immediately asked if we wanted another drink and the team was more than attentive in other ways too. The food was also very tasty and, despite some traditional dishes that you wouldn't expect from a fine Italian restaurant (lasagna, spaghetti carbonara), tasted refreshingly different. The cuisine here is quite creative and very good. The only drawback - and also the only reason why we "only" gave it four stars - is the price-performance ratio: 49€ for an Argentinian beef fillet and 29€ for a portion of pasta with truffles and parmesan - a real house number - too for Hamburg standards and the restaurant is not in the center…. If only the portions were big enough. Our picture sums it up well: well prepared food but unfortunately only in very small portions.

I was at the Laurent Restaurant with my wife on Wednesday, November 20th, 2024 around lunchtime. After we were enthusiastic about the Laurent Restaurant in Bad Oldesloe, we definitely had to try the culinary delicacies at Laurent Hamburg Rahlstedt. We parked to the left of the restaurant next to a hotel. You can park there for free and then go through the hotel entrance, past the reception and down a hallway to the beautiful restaurant. Just the walk to the restaurant invites you to do more. We were greeted by the staff smiling and helpful. The interior is very attractive, modern and high quality. Those who set up the Laurent restaurants know their craft. This is a warm rather than cool facility. We immediately felt very comfortable. These types of designed restaurants appeal to us. This is also reflected in the food. We were approached by an always nice and very personable employee named Nina. When I asked about the daily specials, she just blurted it out. She explained to us exactly which daily specials were offered in addition to the actual menu. It was a fish, meat and pasta dish for 19.90 euros each. A salad would also be offered for 19.90 euros. We chose 3 dishes. Meat (rump steak with rosemary potatoes) etc., zander fillet with saffron sauce with a kind of risotto and pasta Bolognese style with either minced meat or salmon. We decided on the minced meat version. Nina looked after us very carefully the entire time. She made our stay even more pleasant. A visit to a restaurant often depends on the staff. At Laurent Bad Oldesloe and Rahlstedt you will be pampered by first-class staff. Before the daily specials were served, we were given a small soup of the day. It was a carrot and ginger soup that was perfectly seasoned. We were served bread as a side dish. I felt transported back. My mother used to cook an old Schleswig-Holstein dish called “Rübenmalheur” in the fall/winter. The soup we were served was exceptional. The ordered daily specials came afterwards. I photographed the 3 wonderfully prepared dishes. Over the last 2 years I have been really lucky with my choice of restaurants. Laurent is simply one of the top addresses. Whether rump steak or zander. It was just perfect. We swap the 3 dishes several times. The flavors were overwhelming. The Bolognese is very tasty and fruity. We are happy to give full marks for all categories. The ambience, staff and food were top class. Thanks to Nina and her nice colleagues for their loving care. Keep it up. We'll be back. Christian and Michaela

Great food and friendly and unobtrusive service. We were lucky to spontaneously get a table at the weekend and will definitely visit again.

Many thanks to the entire team. It was another very successful evening. We will come back.

Not only is it very tasty, the service is very accommodating, the boss has a fine grappa. Go there

We have already been guests at the previous hotel, the Epura, and have always been very satisfied and have also invited the family there for Christmas dinner. Now we were at LAURENT for the first time and were pretty disillusioned. First of all: The service was TOP from A to Z👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻Sometimes it was a bit too much of a good thing 😉 The food, on the other hand, didn't really convince us. The bruschetta bread wasn't even warmed up and was partly rock hard (at least the edge). There were no spices on it at all, so I had to season it myself with oil, balsamic vinegar, salt & pepper. The spaghetti aglio e olio was not seasoned at all (except for the garlic). And I suspect that the garlic also contains dry granules. However, the carpaccio of my companion was said to be very good. The penne arrabiata with beef fillet was said to be quite okay. Conclusion: Christmas dinner will probably take place somewhere else this year... Addendum: Google wants to delete my review because of defamation. So much for freedom of expression and a well-intentioned review. I would be more happy to hear a statement from the restaurant. But here probably not so good reviews will simply be deleted.

Price performance is simply top. We felt very comfortable, even with children. The selection of dishes is great. The staff is very friendly and attentive. We'd love to come back.

Four of us went here for dinner. The service was excellent as was the food. The ambience is very nice in the Hotel Eggers. Will definitely come back

Delicious food cooked to perfection. Friendly staff that let you sit and visit for as long as you wish. I had the pasta dish night one and spaghetti was cooked al dente as it should. Lots of flavor and an adequate portion to fill me up. Night two I had the fish special and it was delicious. It was served with a large fresh salad which was unexpected and very appreciated. Very reasonable prices for the food and wine.

Restaurant Laurent undoubtedly deserves a 5-star rating! From the first minute you are greeted by a stylish ambience and a welcoming atmosphere. The staff is extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Each dish is a true work of art and is prepared with fresh, high-quality ingredients. Particularly noteworthy are the seasonal specialties, which reflect the chef's creativity. In summary, Restaurant Laurent offers a first-class culinary experience. It is the perfect place for special occasions or simply for an unforgettable evening. I highly recommend it!

Great ambience, great service, and very good food.

It was another wonderful evening. The food was a dream and couldn't be beaten, the Lugano wine was fruity and light, the service was competent, reserved and very friendly. In October we will eat there with our friends, they will definitely like it!

When I ordered a table, I was assured that there would only be very quiet music in the restaurant. We came in the evening and discovered that the 'very quiet music' was 0-8-15 rumms thumps thumps thumps thumps thumps of the audience. A young lady from the service told me that she liked the sound. Now of course everyone can address the audience they like. He just needs to be honest when asked. Well, it wasn't 'rumms booms screech', but also 'rumms booms' Alone in there is no 'quiet music', just rumms thumps.

Zu unserem heutigen Hochzeitstag haben wir das Restaurant Laurent besucht. Wir reservierten einen Tisch 2 Wochen vorher. Ich bestellte Scaloppine Gorgonzola. Zarte Schweineschnitzel in würziger Gorgonzola Sauce. Das Gericht war hübsch angerichtet, dazu gab es Rosmarin Kartoffeln und gedünstetes Gemüse. Das war sehr lecker und ausreichend portioniert. Meine Frau hatte Penne al Gorgonzola und ihr schmeckte es auch gut. Als Dessert bestellte ich Tiramisu. Auch das war gut dekoriert und groß genug. Und natürlich lecker. Der Service war gut und unauffällig. Bei tollen Spätsommer Wetter saßen wir draußen im Vorgarten. Da die Begrünung hoch genug war, sieht man die Straße nicht. Ausreichend Sonnenschirme waren aufgestellt . Da wir mit dem Fahrrad unterwegs waren parkten wir direkt vor Tür. Alles im allem sind wir zufrieden und satt nach Hause gefahren.

Restaurant Laurent: When freshness isn't everything What's wrong with the price/performance ratio? Too good to be really bad, but too bad for 4.7 stars (as of 9/3/24). If the dishes were €7-10 cheaper, everything would be ok, because the quality is there! But: where is the taste? There was a lack of spice, there was a lack of courage. The dishes seemed as inspired as a Monday morning.
Example: The Italian appetizer platter. A parade of boredom! As if someone had randomly put together everything that a stereotypical Italian vacationer would think of when asked for an appetizer. A lot of uninspired mainstream on one plate. The Laurent is like a beautifully wrapped gift with gray socks inside - solid but without spark. Fresh, yes. But also somehow maximally uninspired.

Nice atmosphere and delicious food. But the portions are ridiculously small. My 13 year old son had a pasta dish for €18 and we had to buy him something to eat on the way home. Parents weren't nearly full either.

We had a very nice evening with great food from the daily menu. All three dishes were excellent.

Wir waren anlässlich des Geburtstags meiner Frau dort und haben Zanderfilet gegessen. Das Essen war auf den Punkt gegart und schön heiß als es bei uns ankam. Die Zubereitung war super schnell. Der Service war erstklassig. Wir wurden bestimmt 3x von verschiedenen Servicekräften gefragt, ob es uns schmeckt. Die Servicekräfte waren im Allgemeinen sehr aufmerksam. Als wir ankamen wurden uns sogar die Jacken abgenommen und aufgehängt. Anlässlich des Geburtstags gab es dann auch noch ein super leckeres Tiramisu aufs Haus. Dieses wurde mit dem Song Happy Birthday und einer kleinen Fontäne zu unserem Tisch gebracht. Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich. Fur uns war es ein rundum tolles Erlebnis! Wir kommen gerne wieder! 😊

Our absolute favorite restaurant! The staff is super attentive and friendly, and the food is hard to beat in terms of taste and quality. We go there regularly and haven't had a single bad experience - the quality is consistently good. The only negative thing I can say is that we realize it will be difficult to eat anywhere else afterwards - this restaurant simply sets the bar extremely high. 🥰 We can only warmly recommend it to everyone!

Extremely friendly service. The restaurant plays in the top league when it comes to food. We recommend.

Would like to give more than 5 stars. Perfect service. Great food. Nice ambience

Mega Italian taste and service in the east of Hamburg: LAURENT remains on good track. After a very successful start phase, Angelo and his team have begun to gradually expand the food and wine offerings. The large amount of customer feedback has been gratefully received and, in many cases, lovingly implemented. The highlight last week was the new ice cream dessert, a taste fireworks display. A homemade ice cream specialty, rich in contrast, a delight for the palate and the eye, a great addition to the delicious dessert classics. Variety is fun :-) please keep it on the menu permanently!! We are already looking forward to our next visit to LAURENT.

Delicious food and very good service

Very good food in a cultivated atmosphere! We'd love to come back. I recommend the daily specials.

extremely pleasant stay - delicious <coffee with milk>, excellent <mousse au chocolat>, very excellent <prawn salad> - very friendly service - (very) happy to go back! And continue to have a <happy hand> - Cosi(ma) is a GAIN = highly guest-oriented, great¡!

Very good food in a cultivated atmosphere! We'd love to come back. I recommend the daily specials.

Das Essen war hervorragend, die Qualität der Zutaten sehr gut, geschmacklich war es ein echter Hochgenuss und optisch sehr ansprechend arrangiert. Das Lokal ist sehr geschmackvoll eingerichtet und die Mitarbeiter ausserordentlich freundlich und aufmerksam. Ein ganz besonderes Kompliment an den im Hintergrund, den man nicht sieht, den Koch, der ganz offensichtlich echtes Talent hat.

Excellent food in a very nice atmosphere with very friendly and attentive service. The chef created a real masterpiece, it was really delicious.

Very nice restaurant and very good service! The food was very tasty! We'd love to come back!

Great Italian food in Rahlstedt! Finally something decent again, we are thrilled! Keep it up :-))

Good food, nice atmosphere, gladly again.

The food and service at Laurent were excellent. It was an overall successful evening in a very nice atmosphere. I will gladly come again.

Good food, changing dishes, high prices. Service was very different, some were super nice and attentive, others seemed surprised that you showed up there with a child. All in all it was good.

Just celebrated my wife's 70th birthday there. It was beautifully and lovingly decorated. It started with a starter buffet, then a main course buffet and at the end each guest received a dessert plate with three different creations. The food was outstanding all around! Also the extremely friendly and helpful service! Many thanks to everyone who made this day so unforgettable with their efforts!

Great food, individual wishes are fulfilled. Great service and a nice terrace. Clear recommendation for a special meal.

We were served very attentively! The waiters were all very friendly and charming! The ambience is very nice and invites you to special occasions. The food was also really tasty. However, this is not suitable for smaller children (no dishes for children) and it's too bad and too expensive to go out for a quick bite to eat! In the end, our son was also happy with his spaghetti with tomato sauce. We will be back. Thank you

Very tasty, traditional and at the same time modern Italian cuisine. There were three scallops with mashed potatoes, the main course was a pike-perch fillet with scampi and homemade crème brûlée. Gladly again!

Epura - makes you curious. We finally got there and today I ask myself why so late. A great experience and a real recommendation. Everything was perfect, the food, the ambience and the perfect service that matched the quality of the food. A successful evening with many positive surprises. Epura has been called Laurent for a year now. Clear Italian influence at a high level. Continuation of a success story. Rating unchanged

Very diverse, extremely tasty starters, main course fresh and very good in combination and taste

Great all around. I was there twice this week and my expectations were exceeded. The food is absolutely on point and the service is great. The staff has a very good eye for when you're finished and if you want anything else. I'll definitely come back.

Super courteous service, great ambience, highest quality products and excellent and sophisticated to simple preparation enchanted us

If you are looking for an atmosphere where healthy and very well prepared food and service comes first, then you have come to the right place. Apart from the positive ambience, the price-performance ratio is right.

The ambience is still great (even after the reopening). The service also seems to cope well with the volume of customers at lunchtime. The waiting times were normal/reasonable. The prices have always been and are still in the high segment today. So far so good. I can understand that for a lot of things. My choice today, however, was shrimp - not cheap, never, I know. However, I was disappointed with the price/performance ratio. I couldn't help but count... I find it unreasonable to receive exactly 6(!) shrimps for the equivalent of over €30! Even the small salad or the “olive vegetables” don’t change much. I'm happy to pay for a great ambience and great service, but ultimately the "goods" have to match the price, which in my opinion wasn't the case here. A pity.

A really nice restaurant, we were there for the first time yesterday, from the food to the service, everything was great!! Every waiter was super friendly and approachable and the chef was there too, who was also a really nice, warm man! We will be back definitely!! 🥰❤️

A wonderful evening, thank you very much

Who would have thought: a top restaurant has actually opened in the gastronomic no man's land of Rahlstedt! The ambience is very nice - you're already looking forward to the terrace that's opening soon - competent staff and a menu that does what it promises. High but fair price level, we will come back soon. Update for Restaurant Laurent: The menu is relatively uninspired, standard Italian. A few dishes on the daily menu presented orally, all of them very expensive. Starter: Tomato Mozzarella: 1 star, bad tomatoes, industrial mozzarella, no taste. Local criticism was ignored. Main dishes (pasta) good. Service otherwise nice and attentive. Potential for improvement in food selection - and quality - especially at the higher price level.

Me and my guests (8 people) are very satisfied that we chose the restaurant. We really enjoyed all the dishes. We also felt very comfortable there. THANK YOU a thousand times! See you soon

This restaurant will definitely be my favorite restaurant! Ambience “first class”, food and drink selection first class and a harmonious, super friendly staff. Every evening can only be a success here! We will be back!!

I'm very happy with everything, I especially liked the ambience and the music. The waiter was very nice and brought our dog water on his own initiative👍. But what I liked best is that you remade the meat I ordered because it was too cooked.

Excellent food and very pleasant attentive service. Highly Recommended

Perfect service, very pleasant atmosphere, super friendly staff and the food was world class. My fillet is in no way inferior to the one at the Meatery. We would love to dine here again ☺️

We were at Laurent for the first time yesterday. Food and service was great. Finally a real and delicious carbonara again. We found value for money good. We are already looking forward to the next visit.

We spontaneously drove to the restaurant and managed to get a seat. We received a warm welcome and the steak 🥩 and fish 🐟 were fantastic. We'd love to come back. Thank you for the lovely evening

It was our first time at the Laurent and we really liked it, it's more upscale and priced accordingly, but it's very worth it!! We were all very enthusiastic about the fish soup and would be happy if it always made it onto the menu. The ambience is very stylish, only the toilet could be a little more charming. Otherwise the service was very accommodating, an internal agreement between the service team so that questions from the staff are not duplicated would be a small suggestion for improvement. It would also be desirable not to be addressed as “you love” and there should be a small distance between staff and guests in upscale restaurants. We still like to come back again and again and are really looking forward to the next culinary pleasure 🤩, thank you very much for the lovely evening

Very nice restaurant, the staff is courteous. The food was good but could have had a little more spice. We will come back in any case.

Top on all levels! And I like going out and eating out a lot!

I had the pleasure of visiting your restaurant today and yesterday and I am simply delighted with my experience. The food was absolutely delicious and the service was first class. I would especially like to thank Luigi, my waiter. His kindness and attentiveness really made my visit unforgettable. I will definitely come back(BEST ITALIANS IN HAMBURG!!!!!!!) Best regards, Nicholas

Super nice Italian, we've been coming here for years, even when it wasn't the Laurent. The really delicious food is not the only reason for our visits here. The facility and service simply stand out. Great hut

The food and service are incredible! The super delicious pasta made from the parmesan loaf was at the table within a short time and was still prepared at the table. You just feel like you're eating with family, everyone is so friendly and accommodating. Always my pleasure! You come as a guest and leave as a friend 😊

Four of us were at Laurent this evening. We had been looking forward to this evening for a long time because we had heard a lot of good things about the restaurant. The ambience was very elegant and cozy, the staff was very accommodating and friendly, and the food was simply delicious. We tried various appetizers, pastas and desserts, and everything was fresh, flavorful and beautifully presented. We felt very comfortable. Unfortunately our evening was abruptly ended when after 90 minutes a senior staff member came to our table and asked us to vacate the table because there were regular customers waiting. We were shocked and outraged by this rude and disrespectful treatment. We couldn't even say goodbye in peace, let alone order an espresso or a digestif. We felt very unwanted and dismissed. This was a very unpleasant and disappointing end to an otherwise lovely evening. We therefore cannot recommend this restaurant. There are many other Italian restaurants in the city that treat and value their guests better. It's a shame that the Laurent has such bad management that ruins its quality and reputation.

Epura became Laurent - yesterday we were able to test the new kitchen. As a starter we had antipasti and two French oysters. The antipasti was tasty but not outstanding for my taste, I wouldn't order it again. First of all there was rosé champagne, which I really liked. For the main course I had the beef fillet with spaghetti made from a parmesan wheel with truffles, other main courses were spaghetti carbonara and arrabiata with strips of beef fillet. The fillet was medium rare, the waiter said I wouldn't need a steak knife, he was right! Buttery tender, a masterpiece indeed! The carbonara shone with the super-ripened bacon and the arrabiata also had wonderfully tender fillet on board. The Primitivo wasn't 100% my cup of tea, but it went well with the main course. What was outstanding was our service, very attentive, quick without being restless, with great tips! We will definitely come back, thank you for the great evening with the great service

Very nice atmosphere, food and service are excellent!

We ate at Laurent for the first time today on Valentine's Day. I have to say I'm thrilled. First of all, great staff, very attentive and friendly. And then eat it. What a great kitchen. We are completely over the moon, what kind of food, what flavors. It might cost a euro more, but you have a great ambience and great food that is second to none. We'd love to come back.

Very good selection, very tasty and very pleasant service. We'd love to come back.

The service was very attentive and very accommodating. The food there is excellent and we will definitely eat there again. Highly recommended!

A great restaurant! The food is of the highest quality, the chef is full of passion and the staff is attentive and well trained. Definitely a recommendation!

We were there for the first time today! Everything was perfect. Both the food, staff and ambience. You could tell that there was a very well thought out concept behind the whole thing. The restaurateur boss, Angelo, is very personable, open and motivated. He and his team made sure that everyone felt comfortable in the restaurant. We will definitely come back!

I didn't know what could be better about this restaurant. Everything perfect and professional. Lots of restaurant for reasonable money. Tonight's visit was the highlight of my birthday. My special thanks to the kitchen. Of course the staff also deserve a big thank you.

Unfortunately, it's total convenience cuisine, spruced up with some garnish, probably most of it frozen from Chefs Culinar, Transgourmet or similar gastro suppliers. Otherwise the volume would not be possible. Very small wine list with the usual. Nice ambience and suspiciously nice service. However, we would prefer a real fresh kitchen. As with its predecessor, the whole thing has very little to do with “italiano”.

We had a small birthday dinner. The six of us ladies were very impressed by the excellent food, the courteous service and the overall pleasant atmosphere. The only thing that has always been missing is a mirror in the wardrobe! But maybe we'll be lucky next time!

We love it here! Modern, super delicious food and extremely friendly and personable staff 🍀😇 We can recommend it without a doubt.

Had a great evening at Laurent. To start with an antipasti platter for two and then very tasty gnochi with porcini mushrooms and equally good tasting pasta made from a cheese wheel with black truffle. Rounded off with delicious ice cream at the end. In addition, very attentive and loving service from Anna and her colleagues.

Super nice restaurant, great lighting, I really liked it here!!

Top food and top service. It was a very nice and lovely evening.

Spent a wonderful afternoon at Laurent and had a delicious meal. The beef melted in your mouth, the service was very attentive and courteous - we felt completely at home. Thank you for the wonderful time!

Very tasty, authentic Italian cuisine. The service is very attentive and leaves nothing to be desired. Great, modern atmosphere. We will definitely stop by again soon.

Had an event with company and ate at Laurent. Food 5 stars Service 5 stars Come again! ✌🏼

Very nice atmosphere. Nice and polite employees. And the food scores from all angles! Please reserve a table for us to visit again :)

The Laurent is always worth a visit: excellent food, great ambience and a very attentive, friendly staff!!

Wir waren mit 4 Personen zu Gast im Laurent. Wir sind sehr nett empfangen und zu unserem Tisch begleitet worden, wo man uns von unseren Mänteln befreit hat. Als Aperitif gab es einen sehr leckeren Champagner. Die Vorspeisen (besonders der Ziegenkäse auf Salat) waren sehr lecker und ein Genuss. Der Hauptgang (Rumpsteak auf Pfeffersauce) war super lecker und an keiner Stelle gab es etwas zu beklagen. Ich hoffe das Laurent bleibt uns lange in Rahlstedt erhalten, da es leider keine weitere bzw. vergleichbare gehobene Küche in der Umgebung gibt. Fazit: Speisen sehr lecker und Bedienung sehr gastfreundlich und aufmerksam - wir kommen gerne wieder.

Super tolles Ambiente mit außerordentlich guter Küche

Sehr lecker! Mega Service! Vielen lieben Dank vom Tisch 30 :-)

Ein super nettes Serviceteam, hervorragende Speisen und leckere Getränke garantieren einen gelungenen Abend. Etwas höhere Preislage ( ca. 100€ pro Person für Speisen und Getränke). Kleine Wehmutstropfen: etwas laut und um den Abend perfekt zu haben, wäre ein“Kleiner“ auf‘s Haus schön.

Tolles Essen, hervorragender Service. Vielen Dank für einen sehr schönen Abend!

Perfektes Essen mit hervorragendem Service -eine Bereicherung für Rahlstedt!

Eine überraschende Oase der Ruhe und kulinarischen, feinen italienischen Gerichten, die vom ständig aufmerksamen Service im stilvollen Ambiente zu gehobenen Preisen serviert werden. Mittagstisch!

Sehr lecker…und vollendeter Service

Bestes Restaurant in Rahlstedt. Sehr gutes Essen und super freundlicher Service.

Gutes Essen, netter Service. Gerne wieder.

Danke dir den tollen Silvesterabend Essen war top wie zu erwarten Service aufmerksam und nicht aufdringlich . Service mit Stil !!! Warme Wohnzimmer Atmosphäre… wie bei Freunden zu Hause . Ich sage DANKE

Großartiger Service und tolles Essen!!

Ausgezeichnetes Essen was durch den freundlichen charmanten Service noch verbessert wird. Kommen gerne wieder!

Endlich ein gutes Restaurant in Rahlstedt. Weiter so👍👍👍
