Restaurant Kartoffelkeller in Hamburg

The food is delicious, the prices are completely reasonable for Hamburg Hafen. Service is very friendly. All in all a recommendation.

Reservations can be made today at 8:00 PM at the Kartoffelkeller. Ordered starter and main course. Starter came (large portion) and before we finished it, the main course was already next to us. Shame about the food, it went way too fast. At 8:45 PM everything was gone. After drinking our wine and water, we wanted to order another espresso at 9:15 PM, but unfortunately the coffee machine was already off!

We enjoyed the food very much. The service is friendly and the atmosphere suits the potato cellar. A reservation would be advisable.

Anyone who likes home-style German cuisine will love the potato cellar. A very rustic atmosphere in the cellar and you should definitely make a reservation. The request is very large. The selection of dishes was very simple and very tasty. Even if the service seemed a bit chaotic, they made up for it in their friendly and endearing way.

Since we sat outside, I can't describe anything about the inside. The service was very good, as was the food.

They recommended we share typical local fish for two. Fish with salad. A disaster. There were only herrings: two smoked, two pickled with pickles and two fried that had been moistened with the salad sauces (very dense tartar and beetroot). The potato cake with soft and natural applesauce. The attention, very good.

We were really looking forward to visiting the restaurant and were unfortunately disappointed. Salad and drinks were ok, but the main course, beef oulade with red cabbage and boiled potatoes, unfortunately came to the table cold. In addition, the potatoes were not salted. Seems to be a coordination problem, the table next door waited 20 minutes for their drinks. The waiter smelled unpleasantly of cigarette smoke and indirectly urged us to tip. We won't come back here. Too bad.

In my personal opinion, it was an average experience. The atmosphere is rustic (but far too warm), the service is friendly, and the food - and that's the main focus - wasn't convincing. The burger meat tasted like it was from the fridge, the spare ribs were dry. You can do this better at home; Hamburg has nicer restaurants.

Rustic restaurant. It's all about the potatoes.

Highly recommended! From the diverse selection to the friendly hospitality, you can relax comfortably in the potato cellar. Many flavors are represented, including Angus burgers and Indian spiced meats. However, the “Wiener Style” schnitzel has proven to be my favorite dish. I'm looking forward to visiting there again!

We made a reservation on Sunday October 6th. The food and the ambience are really good, but the best thing about the evening was Parvel, our waiter. Totally technically competent and a good dose of humor and wit. Thank you Parvel, you made the evening really perfect. Keep it up and see you next time.

Nice atmosphere in the cellar vault, a little more lighting would be nice. Reading the menu only by candlelight is not easy. The service was top and the food was also delicious.

Were here again today. Great food, nice, very friendly service. All dishes were perfect and sumptuous! A great price-performance ratio! This is how it should be everywhere! We'll be back!! Thank you for the lovely end to a great day!

The potato cellar is centrally located in Hamburg Mitte, very idyllically located in the old town. That's why the interior rooms are visually beautifully furnished - but of course they are rather small and narrow and rather dark, but still very comfortable. There is also a small outdoor area. The service was friendly and competent. The menu is manageable. It tasted very good, reasonable portions and a fair price/performance ratio.

Unfortunately we didn't feel comfortable. Roaring noise in the Essen Empire was very disturbing. Service was very careful to ensure that you leave quickly. Unfortunately the seats were very tight. Unfortunately, this was a case of ripping off tourists, as it was so close to the Speicherstadt. Not recommended!

Restaurant very dark upstairs, nice view downstairs but narrow and constant loud roaring as if pumps were running. You get the impression that the staff wants to have tables free again quickly.

I am very disappointed. I've been there again and again for more than 10 years. The waiters used to walk around in potato sacks and the menu was all about potatoes. Today it is more of a standard restaurant with potatoes as a side dish. The facilities are the same as many years ago. The chairs don't even have seat cushions and are therefore quite hard/uncomfortable. Doesn't invite you to linger. The food also went down a lot. My meat was dry and the fried potatoes were warmed up. I would say they were on a tray in the oven. A spoonful of bacon was placed next to the fried potatoes. My wife had potatoes gratinated with spinach. The cheese was very tasty, the rest unseasoned and path. There doesn't seem to be any salt in the kitchen. When I made the reservation, I specifically asked for a table that wasn't in the aisle. When we arrived, the table assigned to us was still occupied. We then wanted to go outside the door for another 10 minutes, but the waiter wasn't interested. We were then seated at a table for two in the gallery. It was warm and extremely loud there. You were also hemmed in by the other tables. When someone was supposed to sit at the table behind us, I had to stand up during the meal and let them through. The main course came while we were still eating the starter. We then skipped dessert. There was hardly anyone there to order from anyway. My conclusion: We won't go there again. I can also get the special things that were there in any other restaurant.

The potato cellar has been a frequent stop on our city trips to Hamburg in recent years. This year we reserved a table again... unfortunately this time we were very disappointed. The taste of the food was no longer what it was three years ago... the meat on the spare ribs was very, very dry, the burger also tasted like a lot of ready-made ingredients and the salad wasn't convincing either. We also sat on the upper floor, which in our opinion was far too crowded, far too many tables in a small space: our neighboring table had to get up so we could walk through and sit down. So that our other neighboring table could move, we had to move the table a little because the distance between the individual tables was so small. What should be highlighted positively, however, is the service, the man that evening was very attentive, funny and friendly and really did a great job. All in all, we had the feeling that the potato cellar wanted to accommodate as many customers as possible in the shortest possible time, which unfortunately negatively affected the quality of the food and the feel-good factor for us. It's a shame :(

This time an absolutely disappointing evening: It started when we ordered a table for 11 people...but had to squeeze into one for 10. After some discussion we were divided into two tables. Well, yes. It can also happen that other tables received their dishes even though they ordered after us. Unfortunately, the food was catastrophic: the fried potatoes were tasteless and fried or cooked in oil...even the salt didn't stick. The salad was dressing-free and the fish was also quite dry. Oh yes, dear boss, How do you know that the others had nothing to complain about? Rest assured, the majority of our group had something to complain about. One of our group has been working in the catering industry for almost 30 years and then sought out a conversation with the chef...I'll spare you the details here in public.

Small, inconspicuous, somewhat hidden restaurant, at first you might think it was closed, until you discover that you have to take the potato cellar literally. The restaurant can actually be entered via the cellar entrance, there are many delicious dishes from fish to burgers for everyone and, as the name suggests, you can also get potatoes in all variations We liked it and would happily recommend it

The chef has obviously swapped the frying pan for a deep fryer. Better chip shop 😏 To the owner's comment that no one will believe me, I can only say: but the two who spent the rest of the evening in the toilet!!

This was our second time at the potato cellar and we were served by Pavel both times. The potato cellar is totally rustic, cozy and dark. You feel comfortable from the first second. Pavel is totally friendly, very accommodating and pleasant! We ate burgers and schnitzel, and last time we also had potato pancakes. Everything tastes really, really good and the prices are absolutely reasonable for the location and quality in Hamburg. The fried potatoes are our personal highlight - really uniquely delicious! A reservation is definitely recommended, it's always busy, but it's easy to do via the homepage. Then a digestive walk to the Elbphilharmonie and it's a perfect evening! We would be happy to come back any time!

A very atmospheric place with delicious food👍👍👍 Funny service, Paweł is amazing!!! Served very quickly 👍👍👍 I recommend 😊😊😊

Lukewarm tasteless food. Underground

Top gastronomy and ALWAYS worth a visit when traveling

Delicious food, friendly service staff (Farad). We can highly recommend this location. Thanks for the nice hours.

Fried potatoes are pre-cooked and then fried again when ordered, making them very dry. My herring was very "hard" and the tail fin was still attached. Wasn't that tasty.

Terrible service that ruined a great day for us. There were quite a lot of free tables and we sat on the table the had no reserved label. The waitress condescendingly explained that usually they don't allow, but they will allow us to sit. Not sure what was the purpose of this message, but the mood was spoiled

Very delicious food and Mr. Waiter Farad made sure we were in a good mood even after a long day!

Everything is very tasty and the waiter, Farad, is very funny and friendly.

The food was amazing and the waiter Farad was very funny. We really enjoyed it here!

Very tasty food, I got a tip and it was worth its weight in gold. Pavel and the others were also very friendly and recommended everything

The food wasn't that special, but the tastes are different

Friendly service. Food was super tasty 😋

The food was very tasty, we each had roast beef with fried potatoes, the taste of both was very, very tasty and the fried potatoes were perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy and soft on the inside. The amount was just right. There is also vegan food. The ambience is a vaulted cellar, everything is romantically dark with candles and only light lighting, also for people who, like me, have problems with brightness.

Very dark and very small restaurant.

It was just good. A very attractive restaurant in the basement, as the name suggests, which is very comfortably furnished. The service was funny and friendly and the food was delicious. Thanks for the nice service. Gladly again🤗

Wir haben hier gestern Nachmittah gemeinsam mit Freunden gegessen. Wir haben Kartoffelsuppe, Schnitzel, Omelett, Medaillons.... gegessen. Es war auch kein Problem Gerichte ins vegetarische umzuwandeln. Das Essen war sehr lecker nur die Medaillons waren ein tick zu lange in der Pfanne... Ansonsten ist das Restaurant sehr schön eingerichtet und hinten gibt es einen schönen Blick aufs Wasser. Die Kellner waren sehr aufmerksam und insbesondere Rassim hatte immer einen lustigen Spruch auf den Lippen und war überaus zuvorkommend! Wir kommen immer gerne wieder!

We were here with our club, 25 people. Great service from Rassim. Food was super tasty. We felt very comfortable. We had lots of fun. Thank you

Great food Rassim is the best Absolutely recommended

A little tip in advance, a reservation in advance can't hurt. The restaurant is really very popular. Unfortunately, that doesn't mean that a written reservation with a request will help you get a nice table for a special evening. We've eaten here many times, but each time we're less impressed. On our last visit we got strange fanta. On the one hand, the glasses, even at other tables, are generally served well below the calibration mark, and on the other hand, the Fanta had very little carbonation and I was able to see through it completely. The Fanta was very clear and didn't taste like anything. Of course I complained about the drink, but the same transparent liquid came back. Whatever was served, far away from Fanta. Not funny at a liter price of almost 13 euros. If I then take into account that the glasses come to the table a good 1.5cm below the calibration mark, the price becomes significantly higher. The reserved table was for 2 people, but extremely tight. No space for legs under the table. Hardly any possibility to move easily around the place. The chairs were not upholstered, in combination with the limited space, it quickly became clear to us that we would unfortunately be going home without dessert. About the prices: Sirloin steak with fried potatoes, beef roulade with potatoes and 2 Fanta for 60€... By the way, the fried potatoes are fried in far too much oil. As a result, they come to the table more fried than fried, which unfortunately you can taste. What the chives are doing on the cooked potatoes probably remains a little secret. The red cabbage, the sauce and the roulade were convincing in terms of taste. Unfortunately, after 15 years of loyalty, we can no longer rate the price/performance as positive. PS: It feels like it's getting darker and darker for you. The map is almost impossible to read.

sun 8-9-2024 In the low hours, returning from the guided tour of the Elbphilarmonie, we stopped to have a few beers, at the tables outside. All of a sudden it started to rain very hard and we couldn't be there, despite the fact that we were under a large awning. Mr. Rasim, has invited us to take refuge inside the premises, going down the stairs and... oh! wonder! we were inside a cozy, romantic and beautiful place, a basement or cave decorated with curious objects, full of tables, benches and chairs, all well prepared to receive those who want to eat well and spend a pleasant evening, in the dim light some candles This man, Rasim, is extraordinarily kind and funny. He served us a delicious dinner and gave us an unforgettable time. We are very grateful to him. The best Rouladen in Hamburg is surely eaten here.

Delicious schnitzel Wiener art!

Fried potatoes were fried, service was slightly rough, service from the cellar was slightly uncomfortable. Repetition not intended

The food was nothing special. The problem with the place is the service. Waiters unwilling to do their job and rude. The room is very dark. Never again.

Everything was great. The waitresses were super nice!!! Especially waiter Rassim. Absolute recommendation ✨☺️

I can't rate food. We just drank. The dishes and drinks were too expensive for us for a potato house. Aporol Spritz for 11.11 euros. It tasted very good, but too expensive. The service was friendly.

Mega delicious food, staff super funny and fast, especially Rassim, who really brightened up our evening and the price-performance ratio was great

Absolutely recommended! Delicious food, a very interesting building and great service from Mr. Rassim! We'll be back...

wir sind Hamburger und nach einigen Jahren mal wieder in den Kartoffelkeller gegangen. die Bratkartoffln und der Pannfisch kamen aus der Friteuse. Mehr ist nicht zu sagen

The food was good and the service was very accommodating. We sat outside, a bit uneasy as people walking down the streets had to pass the table.

12 out of 10 points! The restaurant is rather inconspicuous from the outside and we almost walked past it. Pavel is a very polite and courteous waiter, we were very impressed. The food is very tasty, the fried potatoes are a poem. I wouldn't have expected the price to be within the normal range in Hamburg. The Duckstein is the perfect complement to the dishes. The cellar is of course a cellar and therefore a bit dim, but that gives the whole thing a special ambience. Because it was so good, we booked another table for the next day. Clear recommendation!

Gran variedad de platos con patatas, cocinadas de varios formas Platos abundantes a un precio razonable. Personal amable y atento

Food was super tasty 😊 the waiter Rassim was very funny and accommodating 🤗

We were in the potato cellar today. The food was very tasty. The portion is generous. The service was very nice. 😃Rassim was very friendly and forthcoming. Thank you very much. We would be happy to come back.😀

You can't tell from the dishes why the shop is now called a potato cellar, as the potatoes as a side dish are only delivered in homeopathic cans.

Very nice resturant, we had the pleasure of sitting downstairs. Nice burger and good choice of beers. Staff very friendly and chatty

I asked to pay in cash 3 times and they kept insisting that it be with the card...they told me TWO times, pointing to the paper that the tip was not included and that I should leave 20%...totally unfair after they took a while to serve me and bring me the bill and the I had to notify them for both things...it's a curious place, just the food. I would not repeat because the man was very unpleasant with the tip

Wir waren mit einer Gruppe von 25 hier. Die Qualität des Essens hat da nicht drunter gelitten. Pannfisch und Bartkartoffeln waren perfekt gebraten. Es war köstlich für alle. Guter Service.

As the name suggests, they can do potatoes! Cozy side street.

Very nice and the food is very good.

Hamburg is big, but this restaurant is sensational. The ambience is delightful in a small alley or in the potato cellar. The waiter Rassim is unique, with his charm and tongue he knows how to animate the guests. If we visit Hamburg again, it will be a must again.

I expected more: the roast beef was tender, the fried potatoes were extremely fatty (from the deep fryer?). The mixed side salad consisted almost entirely of iceberg lettuce. My wife's meat was very well done and therefore dry. The service was a little overwhelmed but very nice. Overall the quality of the food wasn't worth the price.

Good food - definitely try the fried potatoes - and nice service.

Very tasty food (both savory and sweet) and very friendly staff (especially Rassim).

Rustic ambience, traditional restaurant in Hamburg and always a must stop when we are in the Hanseatic city. Great food, down-to-earth home cooking and large portions. Keep it up, we look forward to many more wonderful hours with you. Greetings from Lake Constance!

A very old restaurant in Hamburg. Everything that potatoes can produce, from potato soup to casseroles, fried potatoes and potato pancakes, everything your heart desires. The seats in the old potato cellar are very rustic. The food, we went there twice because it was so nice, was very tasty. Price performance is absolutely right. Definitely worth a visit. On both days we were served by P., a very warm, old-school service employee. But the other employees were also very friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you visit Hamburg.

Ci siamo fermati casualmente in questo ristorante. Volendo assaggiare qualcosa di locale abbiamo optato per una degustazione di aringhe con svariati contorni e....delle patate spettacolari. Prezzi ottimi!

Definitely worth a visit! Anyone who likes good, honest cuisine will get their money's worth here! The fried potatoes with bacon and onions are so simple and yet so outrageously good! It is special to eat in the “cellar” so you can feel all the charm. Happy to come back!

The roast beef was very tasty, we also had a casserole with fish (forgot the name) which was also very good 👍

Nice, relaxed atmosphere. We all loved the fried potatoes, but the salad less so (somehow the dressing was missing, it tasted very bitter). The portions are nice and big.

The Indian potato casserole was very tasty. Only recommended.

The condescending and horrible service unfortunately heavily outweighs the quality of food. Went with a group of friends and was led to a dark and dingy seating area where this waiter in question would rarely come by, leaving us waiting in the heat. Absolutely terrible service, acted like he could not understand the item we were ordering although he clearly knew, when bringing water for the table dismissively brought two cups although there were four of us, made us wait down at our table for upwards of 15 minutes since we had asked for the bill only to act scandalized when we wanted it split, and finally made us come outside after waiting for so long so we could split it. On top of all this, he kept repeating that the tip was not included in the bill, even though the service was so unimaginably bad it could not deserve a tip. Horrible servers, skilled chefs. Unfortunate combination, this establishment needs improvement.

Quaint and cozy restaurant on the beautiful Deichstrasse. Relaxed to sit outside and attentive, friendly service!

Rasimo was our super nice waiter, very friendly and helpful. Food top.

Very nice tent with a very nice and cozy terrace. Delicious food and, above all, very nice, good and fast service!

Essen was okay, service by Rasim was genial! Jabadabadu

Really impressed with the level of service and detail our waiter had. Food was nice and affordable.

The burger was ok, unfortunately it was built the wrong way around, the bun wasn't toasted enough so it was soggy. The coleslaw served with it was really tasty but also really not enough. The fried potatoes were crispy but unfortunately seasoned too sparingly.

The saleswoman said in a not nice tone: “Cola is only available for ages 14 and up. “It’ll eat away your whole neck!” That wasn't so pleasant.

A very bad experience, ruining our day and our trip. It seems they did not want us just to have a couple of drinks, no food, so instead of saying so the waiter was very rude and he said we couldn't pay by credit card, even though a group of people besides us were paying that way, and they charged us 15 euros for just a couple of beers in a very bad manner (forcing us to pay 3 euros of tip, against our will!!!). I want my 3 euros of tip back, you do not deserve it at all. Shame about the waiter in particular and the restaurant in general for letting these things happen. Do not go there, there are much better places around,

Very rude staff. They didn't let me pay by card and forced me to leave an exorbitant tip. The treatment was very unpleasant and abrupt. I don't recommend it at all.

Pavel was simply amazing! But the food was also very tasty

Very tasty selection of home cooking. The fried potatoes are crispy and really tasty. The Hamburg Panfish is a very tasty recommendation, especially the great mustard sauce! Big portion. Friendly service. You sit in the basement as the name suggests But it's just a little dark and cozy, so a small point deduction for the ambience - Nevertheless, a clear restaurant recommendation!

The three of us had dinner here in the evening. The outside area of ​​the restaurant was well filled, but we still managed to get a table without a reservation. In my opinion, the prices of the dishes are a bit higher, but they were served in a completely acceptable time. My Labskaus tasted excellent.

We immediately became holiday regulars. Mr. Rasim is friendly and a great waiter and delicious food. Highly recommended.

Rien de transcendant mais nourriture classique et portions généreuses dans cette rue piétonne touristique. Terrasse agréable. Carte assez large permettant à chacun de trouver ce qui lui conviendra. Service souriant. Vins blancs corrects en carafe. Prix raisonnables.

A restaurant in the typical old Hamburg style. The restaurant offers a view of the Elbe. However, it is quite dark in the restaurant. A little more light would be nice. Dining outside is also possible when the weather is nice, but you can only see the fleet from inside. A reservation is urgently necessary here. Many dishes made from and with potatoes are offered, but also a few without. Unfortunately the prices are a bit high, the food tasted good. I recommend it and would be happy to come back again :)

Even though it was very busy, we were given a table straight away without having to wait long. Our waiter Rasimo was great… A very nice, attentive waiter. You can quickly recognize him by his good mood. He likes to walk through the rows with the slogan jappadappadu and spread a good mood. We felt completely comfortable and the food was great!

At this point, a thousand thanks to the wonderful waiter (was his name Pavel?)! Thank you for your patience and cool head, even with the most annoying adults or restless children. For your wit and friendly, professional treatment of the guests! Oh yes, also: I'm grateful for any way I can "eat potatoes." :)

A present from RASIM to my wife and daughter. They made origami roses out of napkins and their big smiles brought the table into a world of excellence.

The food and location were great! I am grateful to Mr. rasim for his careful attention to detail and allowing me to enjoy the food in a fun and romantic space from beginning to end (^^) I would be happy if you could serve me again when I come again!

For the food, I ordered local mashed potatoes mixed with corned beef and two fried eggs, turkey steak, and herring salad. Everything was very delicious. The staff, Mr. Rasim, was very friendly, took photos for me, made roses out of napkins, and we had fun with food. The window overlooking the canal on the second floor had a great view of Hamburg.

Today we had a very fun group in the potato cellar. Great food, great service. Great waiter and always looked after us well.

yumm.. we shared some fish dish that came with a lot of different fish and some different potatoes.. they really killing the potato game - 10/10

Spontaneous visit with colleagues, we were very well received, served and entertained. It was very nice, I would like to come back with my family.

The food was very tasty, the service Rasim was very friendly and enthusiastic about having fun. The atmosphere was very nice and everything was very inviting.

Got a table for 8 people on the weekend. The rooms in the basement are very stylishly furnished. The waiter Rasim brings life to the shop. He is very friendly, accommodating and friendly. The food was very tasty and the portions were very large for the price. I'd love to be back in Hamburg next time. 😎

Excellent, especially the fried potatoes are absolutely amazing Because these are perfect in terms of thickness. Wonderfully crispy on the outside and nice and soft and juicy on the inside. Just perfect ;-)

Wir sind hier zwar zufällig gelandet, waren mit dem Essen und der Bedienung aber wirklich zufrieden. Beim nächsten Hamburg Besuch kommen wir gern wieder.
