Restaurant Klinker in Hamburg

This was our second time eating here and we were once again surprised by the menu. As with our first visit in summer 2024, we were completely thrilled. The many different flavor components that we hadn't had before in this combination are simply a pleasure. The service is always attentive and friendly. We will definitely come back on our next visit to the Hanseatic city.

We ate the menu and every dish was simply fantastic. Thank you for the great evening!

If you must visit Hamburg, you must visit Klinker. It was so good!!!! Choose their menu. What an experience. Good wine too - and wonderful service ❤️ I look forward to coming back

Great vegetarian menu - good wine selection 12 out of 10 😘

The cooking, serving and dinner are celebrated here in a warm, ambitious manner with a lot of creativity and love. Thanks for the lovely evening!

Absolute recommendation. Excellent creative food!

A very nice evening with delicious delicacies and very attentive staff. We tried the dishes and everything tasted really delicious. We liked the concept. If there is something to complain about (complaints at a high level) it is the volume of the many conversations. A restaurant I can warmly recommend :)

We chose the vegetarian menu with 4 courses! Each course consisted of 2 beautifully coordinated plates! You had wonderful aromas and great taste experiences! A salt and pepper mill was never missing! Everything was perfect and harmonious! The desserts are fantastic too! We (2 people) can only warmly recommend the Klinker if you want to spend a really enjoyable evening! Many thanks to the whole great team!

Fantastic fine dining in a relaxed urban atmosphere! Absolutely recommended

creative, delicious menu, attentive service, great atmosphere

Super tasty food, top service. Only the noise level with music is very loud.

Great service, very tasty and exceptional food and a lovely atmosphere. Just a little loud.

GREAT GREAT GREAT! The clinker has been on my bucket list for years. Now we were finally there on the weekend! If in HH, then gladly again! Thanks to the team for a great evening with you :) P.S.: Even without a reservation, we got a spot quickly. That was pure luck! So we definitely recommend making a reservation.

Highly aesthetic restaurant with top! Use of goods, creative cuisine, charismatic service and a great selection of wines - all at fair conditions. Nothing was missing, we had the best time! Kind regards from Emma Metzler, FFM.

We found the noise level to be relatively high. But everyone was very impressed 😀

Funny restaurant with very nice staff and delicious little things & a good wine list. Hot drinks like fresh mint/ginger tea would be nice

We were definitely not here for the last time :) We have no criticism and had a perfect evening. The service was noticeably good and smooth. We decided on the menu and each had a (different) dish that didn't convince us 100%, but that's just a matter of taste and has nothing to do with the quality of the food. Anyone who thinks you have to eat meat to have a special dining experience should come here and convince yourself otherwise. The dessert was absolutely amazing! See you soon ;)

Fantastic - everything - like every time ❤️

Super tasty, would love to come back. Very creative cuisine, mostly vegetarian. Great wines.

Unfortunately, the menu was exclusively vegetarian, which I couldn't read anywhere. After two courses, fish or meat would have gone very well. Unfortunately, every dish (3 courses + dessert) was acidic. Should that be a common thread? It was already too much in the second course. Even the main course, which as already mentioned had no fish or meat, had to be pickled sour asparagus. Just always a little too much. Of course, the chocolate flavor wasn't enough for the chocolate mousse; a large dollop of quince jelly had to be added. Just annoying for both of us. Everything was high quality but for €65 per person we really expected more. Too bad. No recommendation from us

Great food, very friendly service, beautiful room, perhaps a bit noisy.

The concept of the future! Feel free to come during the week to enjoy such great service and delicious food! Great, we'll be back.

The 3 course menu is highly recommended. Coherent variations and great service

Great service. Nice atmosphere and a wonderful November menu. 8 different delicacies for 2 people. Very varied, interesting and tasty.

Fantastic food, especially the 3 course menu. We felt very comfortable.

My absolute favorite restaurant! It's a dream every time - I'll even celebrate my wedding there!

Excellent cuisine! Deductions in the ambience due to arbitrary/inappropriate music selection.

A gastronomic experience at a moderate price. The staff is very well trained and motivated, the food was excellent. The location is a bit small, but that's typical of a really good restaurant. I recommend it for a nice dinner and a drink, under 40 euros, and the quality definitely exceeds the price. The reservation system is very modern, as is the reception: everything digitized, with your name and several reminders and confirmations - really well done.

Great atmosphere, strong team. Wonderful wines and good food!!!!!!!!! Again this time. And got the best waiter. THANKS!!!!!

A really great restaurant. Very trained and attentive staff, creative dishes, delicious cocktails and wine. It's common practice to select different dishes and then place them in the middle of the table - it's not only super communicative - it's also very tasty! You can also watch the masters at work while you eat. Really adorable.

Good food and wine, but not the level that prices made me expect. The staff were polite but gave a somehow snobbish vibe. The venue is great and the playlist was fantastic.

really great evening! tastiest food, great service. unconditional recommendation!

Very good restaurant with a good wine selection and advice.

Surprisingly, despite making a reservation at 8:15 p.m., we had to wait outside the Kalten restaurant for about 15 minutes. The restaurant was full and very loud. Food was great. The prices for vegetarian dishes (2 x 65€ plus a bottle of vino from 50€ and 10€ for 2 x sparkling water) are too expensive. Sorry €200 is too much for dinner

Wir hatten einen großartigen Abend: das Essen macht gute Laune, die Mitarbeitenden freundlich und zuvorkommend und durch die Schallschutzelemente eine super Akustik. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Portions ridiculously too small. You go out hungry. Just one type of open red wine. Food ok in terms of smell and taste. Staff friendly and competent. However, the chatter seems very trying. Tables are too narrow.

Very, very good food, vegan possible upon request (even including dessert). But I would like more filling side dishes with the main course. Service is a 10/10, really great people! Thank you for the lovely evening.

Perfect evening. Small criticism: some of the food was only lukewarm.

For years we have consistently had excellent cuisine with local products at very reasonable prices, so a big thank you at this point

The best thing first: the quality of the lamb was good! We had almost all the dishes on the table, including the recommendation “Torteline filled with duck and chicken”. However, the culinary sophistication was missing in all the dishes. Even a cauliflower can dance and a celery can be heavenly! Unfortunately, there was nothing similar to be found that was even remotely satisfactory - a shame given all the dishes! So only one star. The service tried very hard and the dishes were presented well. (if only it had tasted as good as described!) We all criticized the food and described in great detail what we didn't like. But whether it was passed on?!? There was no reaction to it. Probably because there wasn't time for that in the full restaurant?! ? Ambience: loud! Conclusion: the culinary trip didn't happen.

Great food, nice service. Unfortunately, the tables are very close together, which prevents a comfortable evening due to the lack of privacy from other tables.

Very tasty, nice service and worth a visit. However, the tables are very close together, which makes it seem a bit cramped.

Great food in a pleasant atmosphere! Four of us went to the Klinker for my birthday and it was totally worth it! You have the option of either selecting your dishes individually from the menu or ordering a pre-prepared 3-course menu. We decided on the menu. The menu is offered for two people or more and is served on a sharing principle. There are two individual dishes for each course, which can then be shared. The dishes were exclusively vegetarian and prepared and served with a lot of love. For all courses, care was taken to use mostly regional products and to reuse as much as possible so as not to waste anything. The drink selection was very, very good! There is a large selection of open drinks as well as cocktails etc. There is also a large wine list that certainly has something for everyone. We had a bottle of red wine with our meal, which we were recommended upon request. Very suitable and priced very well! Very good restaurant! Always my pleasure!

Great (brick) house, nice reception, great furnishings, sensitive service, cool aperitivo, fruity starters, imaginative main courses, still perfect service, sweet finish, hot espresso, chic look, reasonable bill, well-deserved tip - yes! Yes! Yes!

Wow. Highly priced, but definitely worth it.

was once again a real taste explosion. Map clear, but changes frequently. attentive service. But I would like to see more open wines. Unfortunately the volume is very high due to the large glass front, but we would still like to come back

Very good food with extremely friendly service. Unfortunately, it is quite loud in the restaurant, so if you can't handle it, you're out of place.

We liked it a lot. Great recipes and good service! The salad with preserved lemon and capers is awesome! We'd love to come back. P.S.: A small amount of "couvert bread" in advance would be a nice gesture, which is common practice in other restaurants.

A really special restaurant in Hamburg and dishes that are not available anywhere else in such a casual atmosphere. And Lena, the best hostess, also works there.

10/10 everything! Great food, great drinks!!! Not even an issue for pregnant women and veggies! Three course menu for 65 euros with bread and dessert fills you up and tastes world class!!!

Great food and great people! We are coming back!!!

Had a wonderful wedding anniversary evening with you! Thank you ❤️

Ein kulinarisches Erlebnis,in einem super gemütlichen Ambiente und phantastischem Service... vielen Dank und bis bald

Excellent vegetarian food with a lot of different flavors

Very, very creative, delicious cuisine! Nice atmosphere. Staff could be a bit more enthusiastic :)

If i could give less then 1 star I would. I ordered a main dish for 24€ and got 3 small dumplings filled with ground chicken swimming in butter. I have ordered burrata as a starter and i got 4 tiny slices of something what i guess should be burrata but was far from, it was literally not even a third of the full burrata covered in salad leaves, green peas and some herbs - for 17€!!! My grandmother would turn in her grave for this. My partner ordered his starter - he got 1 piece of smoked paprika (when I say 1, imagine 1 slice, no joke check the photo) - for 18 euro. Have you ever paid 18€ for one piece of paprika? And his main dish was tiny little schnitzel with cucumber salad for 25€ - my grandma would do better + 2 glases of wine. We paid 112€ euro!!! I WAS STARVING WHEN I LEFT THE RESTAURANT! I haven’t been this angry long time. I feel like i was cheated on and robbed. This restaurant is huge disaapointment. I understand a fine dining, I ve experienced many amazing restaurants around-the world. But this was a one huge expensive disappointment.

The service was great and the food was very flavourful and we enjoyed it a lot. The food was on the pricier side given the portion size - they recommend 2-3 dishes per person. The most expensive part was the water. It costs €5 per person (and they of course offer it right when you sit down) so we spent €20 on water, which is crazy given that in the supermarket 9L of bottled water costs about €2.

Our experiences from yesterday evening: The reception was relatively friendly; were assigned an unfavorable table - 2 tables were very close together; friendly welcome at the table with an explanation of the restaurant concept; Tap water with sparkling water for a flat rate of EUR 5.00 per person in advance; Order placed bread in advance/4 different dishes to share/bottle of Italian red wine/no dessert; Food very creative and mostly tasty (except for the tough dry pork schnitzel) but also very manageable in size; The quality of the goods (Demeter, organic, bread, etc.) is certainly very good. Red wine for 56.00 EUR okay. Conclusion: Somehow this visit was definitely a unique experience. Price/performance not appropriate. 165.00 EUR on the bill and left with a feeling of hunger and not culinary satisfaction. But maybe we just cook too well at home ;)

The reservation worked great. After a friendly welcome, we first sat at the bar. My aperitif was ok, but unfortunately my companion received a different drink than what was ordered. On the second attempt the order was forgotten, on the third time the wrong cocktail came again. Later we sat on the terrace for dinner (not particularly attractive due to the proximity to the street, but outside) We decided on the menu. The food (vegetarian) was consistently excellent, well explained and fairly priced at 60 euros per person. I had a glass of Rosé 0.15l for 9 euros, very good, but like all drinks it was expensive. With very few exceptions, bottled wines start at 45 euros. As in many Hamburg restaurants, there is a water flat rate. Great from an ecological point of view - but 5 euros per person is too high. If the two of you drink just 1 bottle of (tap) water, you pay a whopping 10 euros. Ultimately, the food was our highlight, there are drawbacks in the ambience (no candle or similar, no plant on the table) and in the service (dishes partially chipped, forks bent, less attention to the guests when the kitchen is closed, everyone was very happy with it busy cleaning up). We paid 180 euros for 2 people including a tip - unfortunately the overall package wasn't convincing.

Extraordinary taste experiences with regional and seasonal ingredients. Very attentive service. Rarely eaten so well.

Very creative dishes and excellent service.

Unfortunately it didn't live up to expectations - but it wasn't the food. The dishes were top-notch in terms of taste and quality. However, in our opinion, the service reacted to simple questions in a very strange and "weird" way and thus gave us a vibe that we couldn't cope with and which meant that we didn't really feel comfortable.

Total surprise!!! The menu is very creative. Everything tasted perfectly. Nothing too much of anything and nothing too little either. The service team seems to be working. Very friendly and attentive. They know what they are selling. The wine list also provided a WOW.

Inattentive staff (though service in Germany generally tends to suck). Overpriced and tiny portions. One excellent dish was the burrata green peas and fennel salad. Unfortunately so small, that you can barely share it with anyone. For 17€. The duck ravioli (3 pieces!!!) was tasty, but also severely overpriced. The cheese cake (deconstructed) was too sweet.

A place where a casual, uncomplicated atmosphere meets sophisticated, delicious dishes and very friendly service. If I could, the Klinker would be one of my favorite bars - absolutely recommended! Greetings from Austria

cool veggie / vegan / pesca options ingredients are well-arranged consistency and taste wise, offering some surprise for the taste buds quite low key place without screaming its coolness

The evening really impressed us! We went to the restaurant in a good mood and were simply surprised. The menu blew us away! Great ideas implemented in a brilliant way. Each dish emphasizes its contents in a great way without being overly seasoned. Every course was an experience and we were given plenty of presents. We enjoyed the 'disco' of the staff and the high-fives before the 'race' started. We found that atmosphere again and thank you for the friendly service without any airs. In the kitchen it can't be much different, anyone who cooks so well must love it come to work. In terms of price, we felt the value on the palate and in the service. You totally amazed us this evening. We were delighted to see the good spirits of those who had put a drink on the benches outside and enjoyed the start of the weekend. We really enjoyed being guests at the Klinker. Friendliness, respect and first-class cuisine, the spark ignited for us. We wish the whole team all the best!

The food and service were great! Small drawback: It was very loud in the restaurant, which was a bit annoying

Zuallererst war das Personal sehr freundlich. Leider aber auch nach der ersten Getränkebestellung komplett abwesend. Viele Zutaten waren am Anfang des Abends schon aus, deshalb gab es Alternativen, was an sich ja nicht schlecht ist, gerade bei dem Nachhaltigkeitsprinzip, aber das was uns als „Vorspeise“ verkauft wurde war ne Frechheit für den Preis. Lauwarmer Spitzkohl (weil Chinakohl aus war), mit ein paar Nüssen und nem Dressing das mich sehr an meine Oma erinnerte. Also nichts falsches dran, sehr lecker, aber eher Bauernküche at its best. Für 17 Euro absolut zu teuer. Beim Hauptgang wurden wir vergessen. Das Wein nachschenken hab ich dann selber übernommen. Als wir dann darauf hingewiesen haben, dass wir nach 45 Minuten nichts mehr zu essen bekommen, kam dann der Hauptgang kalt-lauwarm bei uns an. Alles wieder sehr durchschnittlich was den Geschmack und die Präsentation angeht. Man muss allerdings sagen, dass die Qualität des Fleisches und des Käses super war. Das war aber auch alles was sich an diesem Besuch gelohnt hat. Also wenn fas Fine Dining ist, dann sollten sie meine Oma in die Küche stellen. Die bekommt das mit dem Zeitmanagement und Geschmack besser hin, auch noch mit 83. Fazit: Abzocke. Zu teuer und überbewertet.. Schade ☹️

We had the menu. Everything was vegetarian. Delicious, although we would have liked to have tried something with fish or meat. The design of the restaurant is very simple and chic, but something should definitely be done here because of the noise. You hardly understand your own words.

I was there for the second time and it was again a taste sensation. How you can enrich and perfect such seemingly simple dishes with very simple flavors or ingredients fascinates me. It doesn't always have to be totally fancy, just the right but sophisticated combination is enough and they can do it 100%. Despite the store being packed, the service was pleasantly relaxed and friendly but still very professional. Unfortunately I can't afford it that often, but I'll definitely come back at some point.

Thank you very much for this special evening, we are thrilled with the great and delicious menu for your 5th birthday. We'll definitely be back!

I have rarely eaten sooooooooo well. Vegetables are often the oh-yes-have-to-have-too side dish, often just steamed or boiled to death. And vegetarian options are often very side dish-heavy. Not in the clinker! Vegetables are celebrated here. We had a vegetarian menu and were so impressed. This cauliflower with currants, the dim sum in a broth that I will dream about for a long time, the pointed cabbage with nut butter and mushrooms, the asparagus with radishes and camelina oil sauce,... And at the end this dream of strawberries, rhubarb and rice pudding foam, that was really top class. I honestly think the service is loving and attentive and the price is too cheap, I don't understand the complaints here at all. Given that everything comes to the table fresh and in organic quality, absolutely no complaint. Recommendation: go and try it out!

Our 3rd visit will be our last, we won't be coming back. 1. We wanted to eat in the restaurant and not on the street (was not possible). 2. The food on the last visits was TOP, the restaurant is now far from that, the price/performance ratio is not right.

Delicious food and nice service. It's a shame that the water is brought continuously (and without asking) and in the end it's charged at €5 per carafe.

Very good food, very good wine list, tastefully decorated. Priced at the upper limit. Only one point of criticism: the service feels a bit too cool - a bit condescending. If you don't need it at all, leave it be. update; The last few times I felt completely comfortable. Therefore I have updated my rating to 5 stars l.

Exceptional products, delicious compositions, uncomplicated service!

I heard a lot of positive things about clinker and really wanted to try it out. I like the concept - sustainability, regionality - an NDR report made me curious. The reception was very friendly, the table right by the window was great. But: after about 40 minutes the restaurant was filled to capacity and the background noise was almost unbearable. The food was good, but not exceptional, the portions were manageably small, the prices were high for what was on offer. The open wine (of which there were only 3 - red, white, rosé) was also borderline priced at €9 for a 0.15 l glass. The service remains friendly, but not warm. The evening was a good experience that I will probably not repeat.

I/we really liked the restaurant. The food was outstanding and I have been recommending the Klinker to all my friends ever since!

I'm not one of those people who can regularly afford a restaurant like Klinker. We paid around €70 per person including drinks and tips. You probably won't get any cheaper for a nice evening in the clinker. That's a lot of money and therefore something very special for us that we would like to afford every now and then. Because: Good food is one of the things that makes life worth living. And even if finances only allow you to visit a "better restaurant" once or twice a year, these can be moments that fill up your happiness measuring cup. The food in the clinker was excellent. It is an upscale restaurant (from my perspective), but without exuding the snobbery of an upper-class restaurant. We didn't come half-starved, but we came with a keen appetite and were full. If you enjoy savoring simple, sophisticated dishes one fork at a time and pondering the surprising fruity sweetness of a savory dish, a special spice in a sauce or the perfect consistency of savoy cabbage, and you'll be thrilled with your accompaniment then the Klinker is a good place to go. I'm writing this as someone who can only talk shop about cuisine in a very amateurish (yet intoxicated) manner. The waitresses in their civilian clothes were very friendly and unobtrusive, so we didn't feel out of place as people wearing visibly worn sneakers and without upscale clothing brands. After all, that's not the case in every better restaurant. It should be emphasized that there was a lot of vegetarian choice. We also really enjoyed the non-alcoholic drinks. There could still be a little more on the menu here, as a restaurateur you could now (perhaps?) dare to try one or two non-alcoholic wines or, of course, list a few explicitly non-alcoholic creations under “aperitif”. You get your money's worth with exciting drinks without alcohol in the clinker, but you still feel a little pushed into a niche. Things are getting better now. But: This is meant less as criticism and more as a suggestion and encouragement. It should also be noted that the tables are quite close together and therefore the background noise is really high. Of course, in the end this is also an economic question. Would I have paid twice the price for twice as much air around me? Rather not. We also found the somewhat banal electronic music not entirely harmonious in the otherwise very homely and cozy atmosphere. In short: The Klinker is an excellent restaurant, with wonderful food, a friendly, friendly, relaxed crew and a pleasant atmosphere. We trudged home very inspired. The clinker topped up our happiness measuring cups by a few graduation marks. We can definitely use this for some time until we can visit again.

The Klinker Restaurant really made an effort. We had a great evening with the family!

Das Restaurant hat mir super gut gefallen, essen schmeckt super und ich empfehle es seitdem an alle meine Freunde weiter.

First and foremost, the extremely courteous and hospitable staff should be mentioned. We had an excellent dining experience with the family at Restaurant Klinker. You can look forward to delicious food, a cozy atmosphere and top staff. Thank you very much and see you next time!

Had a really nice evening there including a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. Enjoyed every dish of the menu very much. The portion sizes were perfect to try more than one dish which was perfect as everything is so special. Can 100% recommend it if you want to have a nice dinner and we will come back for sure. Thanks for the great experience!

Great concept, great service, great food! Perfect all around - gladly again 🙂

Fantastic creations of flavors 🤩 The atmosphere is very modern and cozy at the same time. Very good wines and top drinks. Absolute recommendation! The service was super warm & competent and made the evening even more special for us. We would love to come back 🙂

We loved the food! I think the price is completely reasonable for what you get! The dishes are made with a lot of effort and the prices are really fair It's dramatic to mention that - but since you sometimes pay around 10 euros for 0.75l of water, I think it's great that it's only 4 euros for, I think, a liter There is one mini drawback - the volume - it was extremely loud and we even found it so loud that you couldn't really have a good conversation. The great thing is - there are now outdoor spaces again in the summer - so there are only advantages

Very tasty food, but portion sizes far too small. The staff was super friendly, but a little too slow, which was solely due to the large number of guests and the small number of staff. However, the dining room was much too small for the many guests, which meant that you sat almost table to table and it quickly became very narrow and very loud... and unfortunately a bit tiring. Towards the end we were just happy that we were finally served our children's portions and were allowed to pay ^^ What a shame!! As I said, apart from the size, the food was really top class!!

We spent a wonderful evening in the restaurant. The atmosphere and food were excellent, but above all the extraordinary - because at the same time so authentic - friendliness of the service remains in the mind and heart. Thanks for that! Of course we'll be back.

We really liked the restaurant! We'll definitely come back

Best regional food 'with a twist' - always outstanding & special - both the dishes and wines and the finest team. SO GOOD!

Thank you for this wonderful place and wonderful food. We are always surprised at how delicious everything is. always a new menu and sophisticated new wines. A big compliment also to the well-coordinated service and kitchen team. It feels like you're at home with good friends. amore and schnapps

Von Anfang bis Ende ein toller Abend. Wir haben uns sofort sehr wohl gefühlt. Da wir mit den Gerichten erstmal nicht viel anfangen konnten haben wir uns für das „überraschungsmenu“ entschieden! UNBEDINGT ausprobieren!

Tasty but small portions overpriced. The service is overloaded and even unfriendly. Still well attended. I'm happy to make room.

We had a wonderful evening in the Klinker Restaurant! From the food to the drinks to the service, everything impressed us 100%. We cannot understand some of the criticism of the service expressed in the comments. Everyone was very, very friendly, informed and professional. Thank you for the lovely evening!

I'm a huge fan of clinker! The food is really an absolute highlight! You can tell how much love goes into the selection of dishes. Everything is creatively thought out and simply delicious!

Wir waren das erste Mal auf Empfehlung und waren mehr als begeistert. Perfekte Küche, sensationeller Service und eine Weinkarte, die ihres Gleichen sucht. Wir haben uns für das Chefs Menu entschieden plus Peking Ente…mehr geht nicht! Das Konzept vom Teilen funktioniert genauso gut wie das Nachbestellen einzelner Komponenten. Qualitativ definitiv auf Sterne Niveau und dabei unkompliziert und nahbar. Große Klasse! Extrem empfehlenswert! Wir sind bald wieder da. Danke und Gruß !

First time in and I can only say “you have to go”Excellent food. Menu is extensive and seasonal to a particularly high standard. Definitely fine dining. It can be expensive but worth it. Highly recommended.

Tried the menu with 6 different dishes and the sauces were the highlight of each dish, very nicely seasoned and an harmonized flavour on each. The waiters were very servicial and friendly and made the experience very welcoming. Pasta was perfectly cooked, very flavorful and tasty. I liked the freshness of the products and the quality of the vegetables. Desserts were a 10/10 as well and originally presented. Would definitely recommend.

Really very courteous staff, attentive and friendly. Shortly into prime time, the attention faded a bit, but that was still okay. The dishes were all very tasty, we tried six dishes plus the two desserts and really liked everything.
