I often eat there at Bistro19. So far I've always enjoyed the food. There is a fixed menu and daily specials. The “cold roast beef with fried potatoes” is recommended on the fixed menu (Update April 2025: deleted. It is now only occasionally on the lunch menu - and more expensive;). The beef has always been super tender (and well-tempered) and the fried potatoes have been spicy and delicious. Reasonably priced. There is also a daily special with various dishes. You can also use a water flat rate (7 euros - Update April 2025: deleted). The photo shows a meal of the day (cheese spaetzle/14,-). I assume it was freshly prepared. In any case, it tasted that way, was tasty and nicely decorated. And a huge portion....ufff...
The staff is consistently friendly and attentive.
The chairs and cushions are a bit firm and could be a bit more comfortable (at least in the outdoor area). The seat cushions are more of a towel.
You have a beautiful view of a spacious facility and can watch the golfers. Somehow calming. You can also go for a walk afterwards. However, on some days aircraft noise can be heard; That's just the way it is when there's an airport nearby. There's also a bus station right next to the hotel.
However, I only use the parking lot, which is usually quite full. This is (now) chargeable. Since there are no barriers, you have to remember to "check out" at the machine. Otherwise it will be expensive and the daily rate will be due.
It's always worth taking a look at the "culinary calendar" on the homepage. Seasonal and very nice dining events are offered there. Great BBQs in the summer and cozy indoor dates in the fall.
Were there again today after 2 years. The sauce for the schnitzel was very runny. The number of champions is very clear.
Ordered 2 Altbier - got 2 Alster. Read this back because we wanted Altbier - then got 2 Kölsch with the note that Altbier was also Kölsch.
What a rip off for guests who come from near Cologne.
Our conclusion: We definitely won't bother you again. The food is not worth the money
It's always the little things that make a good restaurant a very good restaurant. After dinner I ordered an espresso, which was served in a hot cup. A rarity in German restaurants 😊
Good dumplings portions. Dumplings were 4 out of 5 in my opinion, I like a bit thinner dough :D As someone already wrote in the reviews, it's quite dark from inside, so walking along the street to get misled that it's closed.
No card payment, only cash :( This is funny though, because it says "technical reasons", but the note is quite old, and in the comments here I see it was like that a few years ago.
Wir waren zur Nachfeier eines Geburtstages mit fünf Personen im Cox. Es fiel gleich auf, dass bereits kurz nach Öffnung um 18 Uhr am Sonnabend das Restaurant gut gefüllt war - zahlreiche Theaterbesucher machen hier vor der Vorstellung einen Besuch. Besonders auffällig auch der zahlenmäßig gut besetzte Service, der durch Geschwindigkeit und Freundlichkeit zu beeindrucken wußte. Die Karte bot gute Auswahl, die Vorspeisen standen schnell auf dem Tisch und wußten wie die folgenden Hauptgänge und Desserts zu gefallen. Mit Gläschen Cremant am Start, drei Flaschen Wein, Wasser und Kaffee am Schluss standen 570€ zu Buch - angemessen. Einziger Wermutstropfen ist der Geräuschpegel, da die Tisch doch recht eng gestellt sind. Wir kommen trotzdem wieder.
Uns wurde ein Tisch im Inneren des Restaurants reserviert. Auf spontaner Anfrage hat man uns dann problemlos ein Tisch im Außenbereich zur Verfügung gestellt. Die Kellnerin war sehr zuvorkommend und kompetent. Auf unsere Wünsche ist man immer eingegangen. Alle Gerichte waren geschmacklich und handwerklich gut gemacht.
Es war ein gelungener Abend mit Blick auf den Magdeburger Hafen.
I didn't rate the restaurant negatively because of the staff's behavior because it's a source of livelihood, but because I'm from an upscale neighborhood and I spoke to them in an Iraqi dialect, they played a song about an Arab Muslim, not an Iranian! This is a source of livelihood for the world and people. Sectarianism and politics are not supposed to be easy. For your information, by God Almighty, I'm from an upscale neighborhood and I'm from the Yazidi religion, and I bought food for a sick Arab Muslim woman, and maybe a Sunni woman, because I don't ask about her sect. My regards to the owner of the money, and may God provide for him.
Very nice Italian restaurant in the heart of Ottensen. Located near the Altona Nord train station. Very considerate and friendly service. Gladly again.
