Zum Spätzle - schwäbischer Imbiss in Hamburg

I was here a few days ago and I don't normally write Google reviews, but this experience stuck in my mind. The food itself was good and was brought to us by a nice waitress who, when asked for a recommendation, answered honestly with “unfortunately it's my first day”, but still gave us recommendations. During the course of the evening we noticed how the cook unpleasantly put down the waitress for every question. Unfortunately this really affected our experience, please consider changing staff (cook).

Best restaurant for (vegan) spaetzle with friends and partners

The non-vegan food is fantastic, so the taste is really great!! BUT the vegan cheese spaetzle was an absolute failure, with no real taste and more like porridge than solid food :( I think that's a really great shame because otherwise I always thought the restaurant was great!

Amazing vegan options! I highly recommend the cheese spätzle with smoked tofu!

The meal was a symphony of the senses! The presentation, composition and sensory stimulation of the tongue was terrific. The experience in combination with courteous employees takes you to grandma's fairytale forest ;) 10/10 would do again

A really great restaurant with very nice service and extremely good food. I know spaetzle very well from my hometown, but the variations that were available here surprised me very positively and gave me a lot of inspiration for my own cuisine. I would like to try more here!

Small, well-arranged shop in an inconspicuous “alley”. We showed up spontaneously and without a reservation and were fortunately able to get a table. Service prompt and friendly; Food excellent and rich. Priced completely reasonable. Would love to come back.

Sweet little restaurant in Hamburg.

So the food was a 10/10. We once had the cheese spaetzle with sauce and the spaetzle with sauce and cheese. Yes, they are two different dishes. If you like the typical cheese spaetzle, you should order these too. They're a bit squishy :)

I couldn't eat here. When I came on Friday at 8 p.m. they said the kitchen was closed. When I came on Sunday there was this note hanging on the door. So I think you should have a plan B before you go here.

The best spaetzle I've ever eaten. cool little location

I've only ordered so far, but it was super tasty. It's a shame that the roast sauce is not vegetarian and that there is no alternative hearty sauce, but even so the cheese spaetzle was perfect. There is a wide range of vegetarian dishes and even vegan options

Delicious and fresh spaetzle. Sweet little shop.

Nice atmosphere, friendly service, fast. However, I didn't like the spaetzle, I was expecting a juicier, longer soft version. But here they seem to serve fried pieces that are about the size of a chickpea. Maybe they're fried, but I think that's excess fat.

The two of us are there again for dinner. One Maultaschen filled with beef and the lady had one Maultaschen with vegetarian filling. Simply delicious 😀

I tried the spätzle here and was pleasantly surprised! The combination of tender spätzle with the peppery arugula and crumbly parmesan was a flavor explosion. And the spätzle with the juicy schnitzel reminded me of home cooking. The nice atmosphere and great service rounded out the positive experience. I recommend it to all spätzle lovers!

Very cool location. Great spaetzle and mega Maultaschen. The long journey was definitely worth it...

Totally nice service, the cheese spaetzle with bacon are simply delicious

Cozy atmosphere, charming service, delicious food, good portions. In short: a treasure, the spaetzle.

Delicious! Authentic, we are Swabians, so we can judge that Come again

It's definitely worth a visit, small but nice and very tasty, everything freshly made...

Very tasty cheese spaetzle and friendly service

Excellente expérience, restaurant repéré dans un guide et qui vaut effectivement plus que le détour : personnel vraiment charmant, très indulgent avec notre mauvais niveau d'allemand et aux petits soins. Belles découvertes, qu'il s'agisse du plat, de la boisson à la rhubarbe ou de la pâtisserie de fin de repas. Hautement recommandable !

Small but nice card. Delicious Maultaschen and cheese spaetzle, exactly what the Swabian needs far from home. We were really looked after very kindly. Our little one didn't want anything but cucumbers, so he got some straight away. Food came quickly too.

The place is very small and the food isn’t so good for all the reviews it has. The toilet is so dirty and seems not to be cleaned for weeks.

Very cosy, good (and plenty of) food, excellent service. Tinu place - you have to know the location. Not very touresty 😀

The staff of the Restaurant was very rude with me and didn’t want to give us a table. I don’t recommend this place.

Small but nice restaurant/snack bar. We were totally thrilled and will come back.

Wat nu Hamburg! Hier serveert men de Zuid-Duitse oftewel Schwabische deeggerechten. Spätzle en Maultaschen; dat is het zo'n beetje. Maar met trost en vol vriendelijkheid. We hadden niet gereserveerd toen we ornd zessen aankwamen, maar men wilde graag inschikken en we konden toch eten. De entourage van dit kleine restaurant is niet bijzonder, maar het eten des te meer. Zoals gezegd: deegwaren met allerlei bereidingen. Ook veel vegetarische varianten en voor de kleintjes zijn bijna alle schotels in kinderportie te krijgen. Een zeer goede keuze voor een echte Duitse hap en nog goed betaalbaar voor Hamburgse begrippen.

Excellent service and food. Enjoyed traditional German cuisine.

Very good Swabian cuisine! Small map. Small restaurant. Reservation would make sense.

Cheeky and cheeky, no idea what the food tastes like

Nice little Swabian restaurant. Very large portion.

A very good time, excellent service (with great indulgence for my very poor German) and great discoveries on the plates. We are delighted with our evening and recommend this great restaurant!

A cuisine that, as a Swabian, I was very happy to find in Hamburg. The cheese spaetzle is excellent and the pancake soup would also be prepared like this by a Swabian grandma. It's very positive that there are many vegetarian or vegan dishes. The only thing missing is some Swabian potato salad on the salad plate.

The place is tiny and cosy. In some times you either are lucky or have a reservation. Small fairly hidden bistro that is worth visiting, you cannot really go wrong with food here.

Great experience. Delicious, authentic cuisine. Super nice service. We had fun. Thank you.

Highly Recommended. We came spontaneously in the hope of getting a place for three. We were able to get a seat at the counter with a view of some of the tables and the street, very comfortable. Recommendation reserved, after us some had to move on hungry. Super delicious spaetzle, with cheese, gravy and pesto. Both the waitress and the cook are very nice and helpful. Updated 07/2024 Still a recommendation to make a reservation, Zum Spätzle has many friends and during our meal some had to move on hungry. It was very tasty again! We stop here on every trip to Hamburg.

We tried spaetzle with homemade pesto. Simply great

Sweet and authentic! Highly recommended, but also very hearty. :)

We really liked it and spaetzle (also) for vegans isn't available that often in the north.

Tasty, simple food, but a bit expensive. It's terribly stuffy inside in the summer.

Really good traditional „noodles” with cheese, bacon and onion. Highly recommended when you want to try all the best of this country.

🐥💛 I was there for the second time now and was really excited about the version with sauerkraut. You can order any dish as a salad version so that it doesn't become too “late” - but the portion was still decent! Delicious! Thanks!

Very delicious and homemade food. They treated us excellently and with a lot of good vibes. I recommend the place if you like goulash. I was surprised by the pesto dishes. Also, abundant dishes. Likewise, you must know that there is little variety of food.

Excellent place!! Delicious food, great service, nice decor...a small, family-friendly place!

I thought the atmosphere of the place was very nice and the food was delicious, abundant too! 10 points

seasonal specials are really amazing! raspberry & cinnamon pancakes are the best!

A small restaurant in the Neustadt of Hamburg - a small piece of Swabia in the far north. Small menu with a focus on Maultaschen and Spätzle. Very nice service. And a nice ambience in a small space. Decent portions that fill you up. The last star comes when I can eat the Maultaschen - unfortunately they were always sold out when I visited.

The food was very tasty and the portion was large, only the meatloaf was quite dry. Service very nice and accommodating. If you're in the mood for spaetzle, it's always a good option

The food was very tasty and delicious. Huge portion.

This is an excellent meal stop. The food is first class and plentiful. The drinks menu is well thought out. The place has the gemutlichkeit of a good ski Hutte. Staff charming and friendly and it’s in the middle of an interesting area of Hamburg.

The food is delicious, friendly staff and a cute decor.

A very small and rustic snack bar with a great. Offer everything related to spaetzle. Great home cooking in a very small but cozy dining room from which you can look into the even smaller, partly open kitchen. Great advice, absolutely delicious and the soup in particular reminded me of grandma. Absolutely recommended and always happy again. Due to the limited number of seats, reservations might make sense. Top spot in Hamburg!!

I can't visit Hamburg without eating spaetzle. Always delicious food, friendly service and a cozy atmosphere.

The service is great! The food came fast and it was hot and super tasty. I had a starter and the main course. It was a really good recomandation I received and I make you all the same heartwarming recomandation.

Super cozy little restaurant with a really nice hostess and a clear memory card. But you get the best spaetzle dishes. I have parmesan cheese spaetzle.

Fantastic food, especially the vegan Spätzle were very good. Huge portions, so don’t order too much and do make sure to reserve even during the week, it’s rather popular.

Very good food! Small restaurant but very delicious Spätzle. Would definitely recommend! Many vegan and vegetarian options.

Cozy little restaurant with a great atmosphere and good, authentic Swabian cuisine.

The best cheese spaetzle in the world!, for me. Especially in combination with the fantastic side salad it's a dream, it fits the portions are very large ;)

We had lunch there and ate spaetzle. The food was super tasty and the portions were huge. Only recommended!!

Super tasty, vegetarian and vegan no problem at all. We also got a spot spontaneously, despite the weekend and the small shop. Huge recommendation!

The shop is cozy. Unfortunately very small. I can only recommend the staff and the food. Very tasty 😋

We were here spontaneously in the evening the week before last and got the last table. Fortunately! The spaetzle with salad was great, all the ingredients were fresh and tasted great. Added to this is the lovingly furnished room and the very friendly service. The dessert was also very tasty! Clear recommendation also for vegans and vegans😊

Kitchen closes at 9pm 1 hour before the store closes!! Takeaway order was refused.

Yummy kas spatzle with meatloaf. So happy we found a restaurant that serves a good spatzle. Btw The portion is huge (I think it’s enough for 3 ppl to share), so be mindful of that. I think it’s quite value for money €20.90

Tastes almost like grandma makes it! Super tasty swabian food with big portions, clearly made with lots of love. Almost everything in the menu is also available as vegan. Both the waitress and the cook were super friendly and nice to talk to. A little bit small, but that only adds to the swabian Wirtshaus-flair. Reservations are definitely recommended, and as the Maultaschen are hand made they sometimes might not be available.

Luckily for us to have a seat among the office lunch crowd, to try out the traditional German food Spatzle. Portion is a little huge for us but the food and taste is decent. Please go try out if you are in the area.

Totally cute little place. Very friendly service. Everything is a bit cramped, but cozy and familiar. We liked it. Food was very tasty. Recommendation!

Delicious Spätzle, the best I've tried. The staff is very friendly and they make everything very welcoming.

Very tasty food, friendly staff and totally fair prices. We'd love to come back! It was a bit cramped but nothing that stopped you from having a good meal here.

A nice little shop with 6 tables, reservations are important, top food, insider tip, super friendly

Unfortunately, the vegan cheese spaetzle didn't taste like much and the portion wasn't very large. Unfortunately we sat right next to the door, which was open all the time so it was very fresh. Service was good :)

The classic cheese spaetzle are very tasty. It's best to make a reservation as the restaurant is very small.

Came across this cute restaurant through a recommendation 🥰 It's something different than always eating the same thing for lunch. My friend had the normal cheese spaetzle (side salad) and I had the salad cheese spaetzle (more salad than a side salad), which was perfect for me because the portion was really great and it definitely filled you up. The owner is super friendly and on the go, sweet atmosphere, unfortunately we sat a bit in the aisle, but still with enough space.

Sweet little shop with great food and perfect service! I can only recommend!!

Simple and delicious! Can especially recommend the cheese spaetzle with onions. We were there on a Sunday evening and despite being full + Lieferando, the service was fast and friendly. Small drawbacks in the ambience as it is very narrow.

Great restaurant with authentic and extremely tasty food and an atmosphere like in Besen in Swabia. My girlfriend is Swabian herself and she also felt at home. The price is also great and there is also a super nice waiter

Small restaurant on a very nice street. Food is very tasty, prices are reasonable. Also good options for vegans and vegetarians.

My son liked the cheese spatzle with bacon. I ordered the three meat dumplings in vegetable broth, however I receive the spinach with sheep cheese instead, server acted like that was what I ordered despite pointing to it on menu so there would be no language confusion (and even after asking what kind of meat was in it). I was charged for wrong dish that I did not eat and they did not offer to make the correct dish. Possibly best to go there if you speak the language. Also only brought one side salad instead of 2, as both our meals came with salad.

Very very cute little snack! The owner is a native of Biberach, so she really knows Kässpätzle very well :D The Kässpätzle were super tasty, large portions. Highly Recommended!

Great food, especially liked the Krautspätzle, and a nice homey atmosphere

Really great restaurant. Smaller and finer. Unfortunately the space for eating was too small when there was a bit more going on. But the very good cuisine and the nice service make everything better. Definitely coming again!

A nice little restaurant, with really good food, which was brought to the table very quickly. Gladly again.

Tiny restaurant with delicious food and huge portions.

We spontaneously ate here on Monday evening and luckily got a table. Everything was really great. Homemade food in organic quality and you can taste it! The portions are really good and at a good price. Definitely recommendable!

Very good Swabian cuisine. Super nice service team

Small but delicious restaurant, Swabian food

Not a single complaint and amazing rustic food

Incredibly delicious food - we had the vegan cheese spaetzle and the vegan cabbage spaetzle. The Krautspätzle were 11/10, very tasty, fresh, tasty, the portions were the perfect size. The menu is varied, offers many vegan options, there is a large selection of drinks and the service is extremely nice and helpful. Definitely recommended, we'll be back!

Nice place to eat German food in Hamburg !

Service was nice and the käsespätzle definitely worth trying!

Food amazing portion size huge. Unfortunately chef completely rude. Shouldn’t be front of house. Explained how I didn’t want to leave my pushchair outside as it is borrowed and folds up small enough to go under the table. He said I had to leave it outside, which is fair, if they are the rules but the way he said it was awful. I can’t even remember the last time anyone spoke to me or looked at me that rudely. At the end of the meal, I mentioned this to the waitress who I then saw telling him. He started nodding and laughing like it was the funniest thing ever. Don’t know how to describe this man without using 4 letters and im sure he’s nodding and laughing at this review now. All proud of his ignorance.

Edit 2024: Well, that's it for the delicious cheese spaetzle. No more strings of cheese and you can't taste any more of the hearty mountain cheese. The cheese spaetzle hardly tastes like anything. The portions have also become smaller. Five years ago: Wow! How great that you can always stumble upon places in your own city that you haven't even noticed before. For spaetzle, I like you! Nowhere in Hamburg can I get cheese pätzle as good as here. I dream about the cheese strings every now and then. And if I have a particularly big hole in my stomach, I can even get a large portion - at no extra charge. If you want to be sure of a seat, you should reserve in advance.

The salad was so delicious!! Also the spätzle with cheese. Recommend!

Delicious Swabian specialties in a restaurant run with a lot of love. Small and warm, highly recommended!

The food is excellent. The Maultaschen as a starter and the meatloaf with spaetzle are a real treat. You immediately feel like you are in the Swabian Alb! The local is also very cozy and the prices are very fair. We'd love to come back :)

Small, cozy but very cozy restaurant with a Swabian touch. There are few seats, so reservations are necessary. Food and price management completely acceptable. Great cuisine, delicious food

The food tastes really fantastic. And the atmosphere is nice and warm. Highly recommended!!!!
