Weinstube Zur Traube - Hamburg

It is a nice little restaurant hidden in the neighborhood close to Altona station. The food is good as well as the service. I think it is worth to go and try it.

I've been invited there by a friend who lives in Ottensen and very proud of every inch in that authentic Hamburg neighborhood. Our food experience there certainly added to his pride!This cosy small restaurant is open since 1919 and offers true local cuisine with a North Germany twist: fish, lamb, venison or rabbit.I went for a pasta with minced lamb and sautéed very slim aubergine slices in a tomato-bell pepper sauce. My German friends had a fish soup with rouille (similar to Marseille's bouillabaisse).All was delicious, paired with a local house red wine.Dessert was Castalane with chocolate sauce.The price is moderate for such quality. I highly recommend this place if you're in visit to Hamburg and want to experiment true local flavors.

Next to the very good wine selection, which is dominated by north-European wines, they serve excellent food. The wine bar has a very cozy athmosphere and the first floor restaurant is stylish, but not posh. VERY well done!

Great athmosphere, food and service. Don't speak German? Don't get put off by the indecipherable menu, just ask the friendly waiter. Great place for a cold winter night. Very cosy, all wood around you. Food was excellent, we had deer bourguignon, fish dish followed by a cheese German cheese platter. All very tasty. I would strongly recommend it

We visited 'Zur Traube on a recent multi-city trip to Europe and it was our favourite restaurant of the whole trip. We were a little trepidacious at first as we don't speak much German and it seems like quite an up market place but the service we got was very friendly, helpful and patient. The wine list is extensive and the prices were very reasonable. We ate downstairs which is very snug and cosy but very atmospheric with the wood panelling and oval tables. The food was fresh and delicious. We liked it so much we went back the next night! Such a nice place, highly recommended.
