Schönes Leben Speicherstadt in Hamburg

A place to feel good, very nice ambience, very friendly service, great cakes to choose from. I would be happy to come back next time I visit Hamburg!

We had a really nice evening at Schönes Leben with incredibly delicious food. 👌🏼 I already knew the restaurant from the summer - now, with Christmas decorations - it is even more beautiful. The reception still seemed a bit wooden; However, over the course of the evening we had very pleasant, humorous and fast service. The food (soup first, pasta, burgers, fish and meat as well as dessert) and also the drinks (aperitif and wine selection) were absolutely delicious and beautifully presented. We would reserve again. Recommendation. 😀

We were lucky to get a table for 2 people on Saturday even without a reservation. A very nice restaurant with a great decor and atmosphere. Here the name “Beautiful Life” really says it all. We were welcomed very courteously and all the service staff were very considerate and friendly. We'd love to come back there.

A classy German restaurant with quick service. I stopped by for lunch and was seated rather quickly. My meal came out quickly and it was delicious.

A wonderful location 💯♥️… very friendly, cozy… just to enjoy…

Great restaurant, great service and very tasty food, you are in good hands here. For dessert we recommend the red jelly with liquid cinnamon cream!!!

Fantastic restaurant with lovely atmosphere, good food and friendly staff.

Duck good, everything is good one would think. All dishes such as kale, plaice, salmon burger and duck were excellent and the slightly higher prices were appropriate given the quality. The service was top. Only the seats were quite cramped. A place directly in front of a pillar that was only suitable for delicate people. But what really bothered me was the volume. It was not possible to have a conversation with 8 people. Although the rooms are high and sound insulation, such as fabric panels, could have been installed, everything was designed with more of an industrial charm.

Very good restaurant, good food and ambience. It can be a little expensive but overall it is a great place for dinner. They have certain seasonal dishes. I have eaten there multiple times over the last 7 years when visiting Hamburg for business.

Delicious food, excellent service and a beautiful atmosphere. We had roast duck and schnitzel and kaiserschmarrn. Would definitely go back.

Nice life in the Speicherstadt, I only had a coffee here, but the menu is good, from currywurst to steaks 🥩 there's a big selection here! Friendly service and pleasant atmosphere! I'll be back. . ..

We were told to go to the coffee place across the street by the rude guy behind the counter because my kids took too long to decide between a hit chocolate and a cold drink. Filthy attitude, even worse coffee.

If you would like to eat something more upscale and delicious in Hamburg, you are definitely in good hands here. There are also many sights nearby, so you can combine it well. Our food was very tasty and the service was impeccable.

The service was very friendly and accommodating. We were very disappointed with the food; the chef completely failed with the simple dishes we had. Everything was almost saltless, it tasted bland and very boring, and the meat was also tough. Sorry about that but that should be different in this price segment.

We were here relatively late on Wednesday evening. There were only a few guests left and we actually expected to only get drinks, but we were pleasantly surprised when the lady at reception offered us a nice table by the window and assured us that we would of course get something else and ourselves not to cause stress. The young man who served us was friendly and helpful, we never had to wait long or had the feeling that they were just trying to process us quickly - we had a completely different experience when we went somewhere after 9 p.m wanted. The food was great and the atmosphere was cozy and relaxed. From the warm welcome, to the great service and the good food, a successful evening! Gladly again at any time!

I was there with my girlfriend for coffee and cake on October 12th, 2024 Beautiful life. I ordered a hot chocolate and an almond marzipan slice. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the entire order because the taste of the drinking chocolate came from household packaging and was only served with hot water and a little frothed milk on top. The almond marzipan slice was similar in taste to that from Coppenrath & Wiese. When I asked the service employee how the hot chocolate was prepared, she actually stated that it was only served with hot water and frothed milk on top. My expectation was to ask the employee here whether everything was okay, since this question was asked by the guest. There was no response, we were wished a nice weekend and we left disappointed. Compared to previous years, the service and quality was a thousand times better.

Unfortunately we were very disappointed with the restaurant. Price-performance ratio -> very bad. Our Kaiserschmarren was brought with plums instead of vanilla sauce, which normally wouldn't have been a problem, but it then went back to the kitchen, where the portion was halved and then brought to us cold (both vanilla sauce and Kaiserschmarren) for €17. Unfortunately, the rest of the food was also very disappointing for the money. To add something positive, the young man who served us was very courteous and friendly.

Very nice restaurant with very friendly staff and a nice ambience. You should definitely visit this. 👌👍

Nice restaurant in the Speicherstadt

Nice location, coffee and pastries are fine, unfortunately not aired here

We are guests in Hamburg this weekend and after a tourist tour we were looking for a destination for a great dinner. So I tried Google and we went to 4 restaurants and then decided on “Schönes Leben”. And... The name says it all. The service was extremely nice. Despite the store being full, she still found a place for the two of us. Drinks were ordered immediately and the wine, beer and cappuccino were in front of us in less than 3 minutes. We chose our food and almost 18 minutes later we were surprised that it was already ready. And much better... It was ultra tasty... mega great... Extra requests were fulfilled quickly and easily and the service with the brown hair and glasses was incredibly friendly... If you want to eat delicious food in Hafen-City there is no other address!!! TOP SERVICE, TOP FOOD, REASONABLE PRICE AND REALLY COOL AMBIENCE

Very nice atmosphere and great service. Eating in the historic building. We can also highly recommend visiting as a family with children.

Very appealing, would love to come back.

We were guests here on Wednesday evening at 12 p.m. and felt comfortable. Restaurant was full and the service was fine considering that. Good quality food and drinks. My panfish was tasty but too expensive in relation to the portion of fish. I then “boycotted” Kaiserschmarrn for price reasons (you can even get it in “Tschebull” for 14 and including ice cream). Generally recommended, but not addictive

Unfriendly service (could have been the boss) Harshly ordered the friendly waitresses around Of course it leaves a bad impression in what could be a good restaurant.

Waited a total of 1.5 hours for mediocre food. Service was completely overwhelmed because we were 20 minutes early. The concept also seems to include seasoning the food yourself at the table. I'm not a fan of that. Very disappointing experience. Don't come back

Food was OK. But not cheap. You can certainly eat a cake at a 65x65 cm table. For a hearty meal for two, with drinks and side dishes, you'll be happy that you can use the window sill. But the summit came after the bill was paid. The drinks from the neighboring table were probably booked onto our table. After lengthy discussions, a young employee came to our table and handed us a xx euro note with the word “please”. No apology, no compensation. Nothing. Should I now thank you for that too? After further lengthy discussions that xx,- was not nearly enough to compensate for the amount we had paid too much, a colleague who tried to arrange a further xx,-. No question. Mistakes can happen. But the question then is how to deal with it. And I've never experienced anything so unprofessional before. We won't be coming back and can't recommend it to anyone.

Food tasteless and mediocre considering the fairly high prices. Mostly small tables with a bistro feel and inattentive service. Things got really bad with the payment when we were overcharged for 2 wines for 9.50 each. After complaining, the extremely unfriendly blonde waitress (or whatever she represented) slammed the money on the table and said “here you go”. No excuse. As a Hamburger, I'm really horrified by this tourist trap! What a shame about the day!

Nice setting, overpriced subpar food. Mid service.

Super delicious food. Service very attentive and professional. Thank you for the lovely hours.

Schönes Leben Speicherstadt impressed with delicious food at good prices. The friendly waiters and quick service added to the enjoyable experience. One heavy downside though. There are many closed society events in the evenings during dinnertime. We tried coming here again TWICE. But they always had a sign put up that there is a closed event. Thats honestly ridiculous, especially during dinner time. It says, its open until 11pm, which is obviously a lie at this point. My first impression was good but that changed quickly, honestly I wouldn't recommend it anymore.

Nice restaurant, but also correspondingly expensive in Hamburg.

A really nice restaurant. Friendly and very attentive staff, especially the young woman who assigned the seats. The food was of high quality and super tasty. The sorbet for dessert is a poem.

Locale moderno ed estremamente accogliente nella zona dei magazzini. Tavoli di legno lunghi ed arredamento di stile. Menù con piatti curati e molto abbondanti. Personale gentile e servizio attento.

Modern and extremely welcoming place in the warehouse area. Long wooden tables and stylish furnishings. Menu with well-prepared and very abundant dishes. Friendly staff and attentive service.

A very nice ambience paired with a delicate 🥗 food! 👌 Gladly again! 👏😃

Em uma das entradas para a Speicherstadt, um dos vários cartões-postais de Hamburgo, e a poucas quadras do belo Kontorviertel, com o ponto de ônibus da linha 6 bem na porta é fácil achar o restaurante. O cenário ao redor é propício a várias fotos, seja ao longo do dia ou especialmente ao entardecer. Também por isso, faz-se necessário ligar pra reservar uma mesa. A depender do tempo no dia, a escolha entre comer fora ou na parte interna é relevante, levando-se em conta que dentro não há ar condicionado. O cardápio é restrito e tem opções de terra e mar, com alguns pratos vegetarianos. A seleção de vinhos toma duas páginas do cardápio e as garrafas estão expostas na composição do design interno da casa, ótimo para uma reunião familiar ou de negócios. Mesmo com a boa qualidade da comida e o excelente serviço, o preço é ridiculamente alto: quase 30 euros por Schnitzel (milanesa) com batatas é usura pura!

Everything was top notch. I'd love to come back. The salad was delicious

A very excellent plaice eaten in Finkenwerder style. The service was lightning fast and extremely friendly, even though the place was full.

Food OK so far. A little above average. Service was top. Ambience way too loud. Sound absorbers would be very appropriate.

After ordering, the food was not served for nearly an hour, and I ended up canceling. It was a terrible memory. There was no apology, and the situation was dealt with in a normal manner, so it may be something that happens quite often.

The bouillabaisse was irrelevant, you had to look for the fish and the taste too, but the service was very friendly

Restaurangen lever inte upp till sitt löfte. Det är tydligt att ägaren hade en vision som mynnade ut i att skapa en högklassig, avslappnad miljö. Men i praktiken möts du av en arme stressade servitörer som har ingen tid för dig. Det springs mycket och låter högt som i en McDonalds, vilket vädrar bort hela zen-atmosfären. Jag frågade två av servitörerna om dem visste vilket industri som besatt byggnaden förr i tiden (historiska lokaler med gamla anor), men dem kunde inte svara och visade inget intresse. Gällande maten så hade det kanske varit rimligt att sätta så höga priser om atmosfären fungerade väl och smaken var god, men jag blev varken imponerad av soppan eller av schnitzeln. Portionerna var stora och kvaliten var god, men smaken var som sagt medioker.

Excellent food, attentive helpful service, nice surroundings.

I've been here several times. Solid cuisine in a nice atmosphere.

Delicious food and great service

We have been coming here again and again for years when we are in Hamburg. A lot of things fit together here and we always had a lovely evening.

Delicious food with a wonderful view of the Speicherstadt (World Heritage Site). Nice service. Prices a little more expensive but reasonable for the delicious 😋 food. Recommended.

The food was good, but the starter was relatively large and the main course was rather small. The hamburger panfish was tasty but the sauce was very subtle. We were 10 minutes early for our table and had to be told off by the lady at reception. If the restaurant had been full I would have understood but it was absolutely empty.

Very tasty food in a nice restaurant. The prices are a little higher, but the quality of the food is excellent. The waiters were all very friendly too.

Excellent restaurant where you can eat both meat and fish. They also have a children's menu with neglectes and schnitzel! Must try!

Had a hamburger that was just perfect

Top service and top prepared dishes would be happy again at any time.

Tasty and good food, service is top notch and a perfect atmosphere!!

The blonde receptionist with glasses was quite possibly the stroppy interaction I've ever experienced in the service industry. Unfortunately, that spoiled the entire evening for us, which was supposed to be a great start in Hamburg. What a shame! The food was perfectly fine, although nothing exceptional.

Very nice place. Good food and very nice service

Food and ambience great. The service was a bit lacking, as was the waiting time for food for a lunch service at the border, even though the restaurant was almost empty. But it can be a snapshot. We would definitely go again.

Great location and slowly also lavish prices

We received a very friendly welcome at the Schönes Leben restaurant in the Speicherstadt, Alter Wandrahm 15, and the service at the table was also extremely friendly and attentive. The sushi plate was very good, the large plaice (approx. 500g) with bacon was excellent and the salmon fillet was also very tasty. The drinks and food we ordered were served without long waiting times. It was a very pleasant evening.

Good coffee, good food selection, nice staff. Fresh toilets

Not exactly cheap, but the quality (service + food) and ambience are definitely worth it.

Beautiful atmosphere outside, even though it is located on a street. Cleverly shielded from the street. The service was excellent and very friendly. Prices are reasonable and our meal was excellent. Highly recommended.

I have been waiting for an hour and a half for the meal. I only got bread and soup. The soup was very salty. I highly recommend it not to foreign tourists who have limited time and want to go sightseeing.

Delicious food, nice ambience and quick service.

Excellent salad, hospitable, neat.

The restaurant is in a nice corner. Special praise goes directly to the very friendly service. The food was delicious, only the bread with the salad was too hard. The price is at the upper limit, but still reasonable. 4.5 stars would be appropriate.

Very nice restaurant, with the beautiful rustic style of the Speicherstadt. The supporting pillars are still originally made of wood. Everything was beautifully staged. The food was also very tasty, everything was on point and very tasteful. There was also a wine special (a bottle with a bottle of water included) at a very fair price. We were completely satisfied :)

Mega lecker, mega schön, mega freundlich und top gelegen. We love, Family of four. Sassen an einem Hochtisch- sehr bequeme Stühle.

How beautiful. Very elegant and clean. Inviting! Nice team, attentive and friendly. Very good selection of food and drinks.

The food and the ambience was perfect.

Pleasant atmosphere, nice waiter, very fresh fish 🐠🐋🐟

We ordered schnitzel and fries. To be honest, the fries tasted better than the schnitzel😑 but the worst part was that the waiter asked for a tip even though he saw that we were not satisfied with the food!

Discovered by chance - good, tasty home cooking - very attentive service. We'll be back.

Good restaurant in the Speicherstadt. Nice ambience, good food.

Very good restaurant, good menu with good quality products and very well cooked. Very friendly and professional service

Wir waren sehr zufrieden. Schönes Ambiente, sehr freundliches Personal, sehr gutes Essen und Trinken. Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen.

A very nice place that offers a smaller menu than most places, but a very good menu that will satisfy you. The food is heavily influenced by the region. Fish soup, different kinds of fish, popular street foods like currywurst and hamburger and vegan/vegetarian food (sadly only 2 dishes in total). I had the Matjes with potatoes, green beans and bacon. And it was delicious. Great selection of drinks be it non-alcoholic, wine, beer or coffee. Good old reliable Alsterwasser for me. Also a wide variety of aperitifs and digestifs. Cozy and beautiful interior, as well as a welcoming outside seating area. Clean and funny restroom. Lovely staff. Can recommend.

Unfortunately there isn't much choice for vegetarians. I chose pasta with tomato sauce, and that was rather boring. It's actually a shame because I really liked the atmosphere.

Very nice service, ate salad outside and drank 1 beer. Were warmly welcomed and served. The salad and the sauce taste excellent. Highly recommended!!!!

Below average food with high prices! I had a burger here which the meat quality was very average the bun was nothing exceptional while it closed 27 euro! The food taste and quality simply doesn’t live up with the price and restaurant ambience! Perhaps it’s a tourist trap we got stuck. The service was ok. She made us wait 2-3 minutes in front of door while the restaurant was very empty. I would not go back and will not recommend it

Great location - delicious café and Kaiserschmarren

The food didn't really convince me for the price, we had the schnitzel and the pasta. However, the service was very nice and attentive.

Nice place, good quality. Friendly and fast service. We were there on Saturday evening with 7 people.

Went here for dinner on the first day of our Hamburg tour. Good restaurant, food good but overall in my opinion too expensive for the service offered. Therefore, one star deducted for food and service.

You must definitely try the fish dishes, great food and great atmosphere.

Interesting setup high tables high ceiling loved the bathroom decoration Ths food is delicious and healthy

Verry food staff.. and Equivalent food! B.e goooooooooookt

The location is very good, in the very lively Hamburg Speicherstadt! The atmosphere inside is very comfortable and suitable for any kind of gathering! There are not many meal options, but each portion is large and very delicious😋 The service is also first-rate. The service staff can speak English and there are English menus, which is very convenient for foreigners! We will come again next time! Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Everything okay so far. But not anymore for these prices. Nuggets with fries for children 16 euros and then only frozen (finished goods). I would have imagined that these would be freshly breaded nuggets for this price. Well, unfortunately not a recommendation.

Very good food. First class service. Again on your next stay.

The asparagus wasn't completely cooked at first and tasted very much like salt water. The waiting times were too long. The staff was very friendly and tried hard, but couldn't save the overall impression. Overall, the price/performance ratio wasn't right, the asparagus with salmon and potatoes was too expensive at €41, even if it had been tasty. My wife's vegan vegetable peanut curry and asparagus salad were very tasty.

Nice restaurant. Very friendly staff. Price and performance were perfect. Would love to come back.

Delicious food and a nice ambience at high prices

Super nice restaurant and top food. We were there several times and at different times of the day and the food was great every time.

Food was very good! Service worthless. Were refused at the door because there would be no room. When a colleague asked, there was suddenly enough room.

Nice, cozy restaurant with an outdoor terrace and good food

The food was as tasteless as the staff etiquette. Almost raw potatoes and main courses that resembled dog food more than what we were led to believe in the reviews here. I am very tolerant but not only disappointed but shocked by the entire visit to the restaurant. I don't normally write reviews, but this was a terrible visit - which ended with the waitress being insulting to us. Too bad...

This was an absolutely disastrous experience! The schnitzel was nothing more than a dry, rock-hard breading without any meat, and it was also gray and cold. The sauce looked like a disgusting mixture of lumps, skin and fat, and the potatoes were still raw on the inside. I was horrified and disgusted. The waitress' reaction wasn't any better - she was aggressive and unprofessional. We paid quickly and left the store as quickly as possible. Never again!

I wanted to choose a special restaurant for my father's 50th birthday, and unfortunately I was more than just disappointed. My dad, who is an asparagus lover himself, felt it was more apple than asparagus when he took a bite. The schnitzel resembles the description “well done” and had more inedible color than breading. When we pointed out to the staff that the entire preparation of the dish was incorrect and one was even missing, we were greeted in an extremely unfriendly manner. It's disappointing that a visit to a restaurant has to go like this. We are lucky that Hamburg has more to offer - the appearance deceives the experience.

Delicious food and very nice waitress Highly recommended
