Thank you for a lovely chat and a delicious meal. Your passion for cooking and your wonderful energy for making customers feel welcome are evident. We'll be back, Don Pablo. ☺️
This place is a very special place in Hamburg. Fine hosts, fine food, fine guests. A very relaxed atmosphere, great, unfussy service. The food... experimental, different, full of flavor.
If you want to eat really good crêpes in dozens of different varieties and be served by super friendly people, this is the place for you. The price-performance ratio is also excellent. What more could you want? Thank you!
My favorite restaurant!
The food is freshly prepared with regional ingredients.
The menu offers a pleasant variety.
The service is very attentive and friendly. Always worth a visit!
Others should take a few slices from that.
Good kebab skewer, everything fresh.
Not the best kebab I've ever eaten, but in the top 10.
Considering what you often get elsewhere, this one is super cheap.
For me, it's just honest and good!
A very pleasant experience. The food is tasty and well-presented, and the waitstaff are attentive. The only thing that could be improved is slightly faster service during the evening hours.
We were a party of 3, who just had an amazing food experience! We were served GREAT pizza in a great place with the friendliest and most helpful waiter and staff. Family-run business that is world class! I can honestly say I have never ever had a pizza better than the one I just ate! Well done! You should be so proud of yourselves! Best wishes from Alex, Norway :)
We can't help ourselves; visiting the Esszimmer restaurant at least once a month is a ritual. And just like last Friday, we experienced truly impressive quality in every aspect: the preparation, the service, the combination of dishes on the menu, the wine selection, and the incredible friendliness of ALL the chefs and staff. For us, it's worthy of a Michelin star. The Michelin Guide inspectors should definitely take notice. I've attached a few pictures.
Addendum to my review: Here is the September menu, with different highlights every month; the chef seems to have no shortage of ideas. The quality, as always, is top-notch – outstanding ingredients are used, making the price entirely justified.
Finally, this news:
There are some pieces of news you'd rather not read. The announcement from Annemieke and Timm that they will be closing on December 31, 2025, falls squarely into this category. It's heartbreaking. Truly heartbreaking.
We are all the more grateful that we were able to see them on December 13th. We were fortunate enough to experience one last menu that reflected everything these two stand for: passion, precision, and that special serenity with which great cuisine simply "exists." Sadly, it was already the penultimate time. On Christmas Day, as every year, we will let Annemieke and Timm pamper us one last time—at least for now. A painful thought.
What they leave behind is far more than just good food: a consistently exceptionally high standard, select products, a creative touch, and a quality in both the kitchen and service that, in our opinion, deserves at least two Michelin stars. Not as an award, but as a matter of course.
Their departure is a real loss for the culinary scene in Cuxhaven—and for all those guests who don't confuse enjoyment with noise. It's a significant blow to upscale tourism. Restaurants like these aren't a gimmick; they define a region. They should be protected and promoted—because those who offer culinary quality attract quality.
What remains is gratitude. And the quiet hope that "the end" might not mean forever. 🍽️✨
