Das Dorf

Das Dorf is a classic Hamburg restaurant featuring excellent German food. The restaurant is in the basement of the building and a bit tricky to spot at first glance. Once in side, you will enjoy the beautiful and cozy interior. The staff is very friendly and alert and you quickly get to order after sitting down. The menu is very good and features daily specials. We had the good fortune to visit during spargel season and our food was excellent. Das Dorf is a very well-known restaurant so you are best advised to make a reservation. One of the best German restaurants in Hamburg for sure.

Service is exceptional here! We didn’t have a reservation, but the waiters truly did their best to get us a table. Everyone was absolutely friendly and we felt like being at home (even though we were super far from it - we’re from Brazil). We weren’t planning to stop in Hamburg, but I’m glad we did because my experience at Das Dorf was AMAZING! Totally worth visiting! :)

Wow what a place. Fantastic atmosphere and the food was excellent. The service was brilliant too. It’s under ground, I walked straight passed it!

It is worth the hype. The food is traditional German fare in a cozy dark cellar of a restaurant. Service was attentive and impeccable, but not rushed or intrusive at all. We had the pan dish of the day. My husband also tried the chocolate cake dessert and said it was wonderful. If we return to Hamburg, we will return to this restaurant. I suggest you make reservations.

Cosy restaurant with very friendly staff. Great traditional food well presented. Large portions at reasonable prices. Would look forward to trying other dishes.

Das Dorf, Hamburg: A Cozy Gem for German Classic Nestled in the heart of St. Georg on Lange Reihe, Das Dorf is a charming, vaulted-ceiling basement restaurant that feels like a step back in time. Established in 1848, this Hamburg institution exudes rustic warmth with its candlelit ambiance, upholstered church benches, and tiled stoves, creating a cozy yet theatrical vibe perfect for a relaxed evening. The menu celebrates German and Austrian cuisine, with the Wiener Schnitzel—touted as the city’s best—stealing the show. Perfectly crispy and tender, served with golden fried potatoes, it’s a must-try at around €24. Other highlights include hearty beef roulades and fresh fish dishes like Zanderfilet, all crafted with regional, market-fresh ingredients. The beer selection is impressive, featuring crisp German lagers and wheat beers, complemented by a curated list of regional wines. Service is friendly and attentive, though some note occasional delays during peak hours. With a 4.4/5 rating on Tripadvisor from nearly 1,000 reviews, Das Dorf’s popularity demands reservations, especially for its 65-75 seats. Tucked near the Deutsches Schauspielhaus, it’s ideal for pre-theater dining. Despite minor gripes about pricing (e.g., €7.80 for water), the authentic flavors and inviting atmosphere make Das Dorf a Hamburg treasure.

Reached the location and started searching for the entry as it wasnt visable. Apparently the placebisnin the lower level of the street meaning you go down from a small stairway and then enter. Atmosphere is very romantic, Lantil soup, interesting and surprising seasoning . Waited to get sweet tastes and received spicy yet miled. Red Bass, 3 pieces on potatoes and steamed spinach with white gravy surrounding it. Very delicate and very nice representation. Portion size was sufficient. Value for money, over priced. Viel schnitzel , tender meat well prepared. Small bowl of potato salad and one cucumber salad. Portion size sufficient. Value for money, over priced Nice place to spend the evening, well prepared plates, over priced.

Even though I didn’t have a reservation, the super friendly staff managed to find one for me — not to mention the food, which was excellent. Cozy atmosphere and a perfect spot to enjoy your Sunday after an 8-hour flight. Congratulation!

Matt and I walked here as a recommendation from Le Meridian hotel. It was a short little walk and it was worth it! Loved the interior vintage dark wood. We had a nice little table for two and an excellent server. We loved their wienerschnitzel! Our server, Ingmar, was fabulous!

I'm giving four stars to Felix, our most engaging waiter and to the Schnitzel - perfectly breaded and fried and greaseless. It was accompanied by cucumber with herbs which my daughter liked. I had a Pike Filet on rissotto - that was decent. My husband's steak was more medium well than rare, but tender enough and the taste was ok. I also had Chanterelle soup; the mushroom taste was hardly discernable though. This place was busy, both from tourists and out of towners. Reservation was highly recommended. I would say the place was casual and has outdoor seating. I would have loved to enjoy the inside seating as we were given that choice, but it seemed even warmer inside. Nevertheless, I would still consider our dinner experience pleasant.

The worst wiener schnitzel I've ever had - bland (zero flavor) and under-salted. But even salt didn't help. Way too expensive The staff was nice but really slow given the size of the place. I wish the food could have made up for that.

The staff here was absolutely amazing. They were so funny and personable. The food was incredible. I ordered a ravioli dish, and I can only hope to find something as tasty back home. Sehr lecker!

Service was great. Fit me in early on a Friday night. Schnitzel was light and tasty.

This restaurant is AMAZING. Visiting Hamburg on vacation from the states and we couldn't have chosen a better spot. This restaurant was a 5 min walk from our apartment in the quaint neighborhood of St George. Inside, the atmosphere/decor carries the charm and history of Hamburg that we were seeking in a true German experience. We cannot sing the praises of our server, Lokman (or Baran as he is known there), enough. He was wonderfully charming and accommodating to our "american-ness". He patiently lead us through the menu and engaged in entertaining, witty conversation Now for our food. OUR FOOD. Every bite was amazing! Our party had everything from the "summerly radishes soup" to my dish, "Our Pfundskerl" (meatball with asparagus and noodles) Everything was exceptional. Each mouthwatering dish was flavorful and melted in your mouth We cannot speak highly enough of our experience at Das Dorf

Came here at 8:30pm. They had already shut down the kitchen. We came all the way out there for nothing. Their posted time to close was 10pm. Shame. Wish I could write more.

My sister and I were there before Covid. It was one of our first meals in Germany and one of our best meals in Germany. Everything about it from the service to the food was amazing! I would highly recommend this place.

Yummy food, good service and a cozy atmosphere-- Das Dorf serves up a very nice German dining experience. Before our trip to Hamburg, we made a reservation at Das Dorf for a Saturday evening. We arrived for our reservation and was seated right away. The place doesn't look very big at first, but they definitely take advantage of every single corner available. The atmosphere is cosy albeit you're cramped into a cellar. I had the stewed ox cheeks and my husband had the schnitzel. The ox cheeks were very flavorful and the schnitzel was good. The portions were generous and the service was nice and fast. I would recommend Das Dorf for a nice dinner in Hamburg.

A great place to eat as a couple or with a group of friends. Great service and food. Moderately priced. Good atmosphere. All in all we had a great experience. We will definitely return.

Went to Das Dorf yesterday to have my BDay dinner. it was GREAT! I even got my Wunderkerze plus the obligatory service team cuddle (check out my pic). had Hamburg's traditional Labskaus (google it by yourself he..he..he..) and it turned out to be my BEST Labskaus so far. Highly recommended. as for the atmosphere: very cozy with dimmed lights, antique furniture and silver

Absolutely excellent! We sat on the sidewalk outside of the restaurant for an excellent meal. They brought us an English menu as soon as they could tell we were not German-speaking. If you're looking for the traditional German meal or something new, you'll find both. I had the traditional veal cutlet (weinerschnitzel) while my brother had a fish salad that was also fantastic. The fried potatoes with bacon were to die for. The bread and spread that they brought to start was also very good. A tad pricey, but worth it for a great meal, service, and people-watching location.

Who here shortly after the opening appears, actually always finds a place. That changes completely fast, at the latest if the conception is terminated in the nearby theatre, becomes it here very much full, then one has sometimes the impression the kitchen is something overtaxed (can last already times longer). But for a really good meal first you have tu find the place. No sign points the way to us. One must belong to the insider. The village is accommodated a wine tube, in a cellar, with a remarkably variedly bill of fare.

A nice restaurant, a lovely atmosphere and a fast and friendly service. The quality of the food was good and the meels were all typically german or austrian... But it was really not as elaborate as to justify the high prices.
