Lübecker Kartoffelkeller

Dining in a cellar was super cool! The restaurant is located right next to or attached to the Hospital of the Holy Spirit. The cellar is well decorated with paintings and chandeliers. The service staff are really nice even though they cant really speak in English. The pan fish was simply divine! The fish was fresh and silky paired with chunky mash potato. The vegetables on the top add a nice freshness to cut through the heaviness of the creamy sauce and oily fish. Also ordered herring with potato pancakes. The pancakes were good but really heavy, so it works well with the pickles and other pickled vegetables. The dark beer was really good! Very light with a hint of caramel and malt notes at the end - the aftertaste was a lot like rooibos. If you like beer but you arent a fan of the bitterness, this is a great choice! Overall a great experience, highly recommend!

It's really atmospheric place in traditional basement, German food in the menu. they are famous for dishes with or from the potatoes. big potato - vegetarian option was good, but dry a little, not enough souce. baked potatoes with ham was great 👍 schnitzel was ok, huge but a little bit dry. I recommend to visit this restaurant. polite and fast service, good atmosphere🤌

We travel to Lübeck from America every year and the end of our trip is always capped off with a visit to the Kartoffelkeller. The food and atmosphere is always top notch but our most recent visit today was the best by far. It's our understanding that the restaurant is now under new management and we had the most excellent service from Mandy & Miri today. They were so gracious and attentive and we are already looking forward to next year's visit. Cheers from Ohio!

We got the Bayern Schweinhaxe and they were really delicious and crispy. But it's not just the food, the service ladies were super super nice! They kept asking if we need anything else and even chatted with us. Makes the whole dining experience heartwarming. Highly recommend it. BTW the haxe only serves on Friday and Saturday and needs to be booked ahead.

My favorite place to eat in all of Lübeck. The new staff is amazing and the atmosphere is super cool. Menu changes seasonally but is never a disappointment.

We came here 4 years ago and we had the same good experience. I don’t understand why the place is never crowded. If we come to Lübeck again we will definitely come here to taste the schnitzels in this place.

Excellent food! Long wait. We arrived around 5pm, where only 2 others were in the restaurant. And we still had to wait nearly 45 minutes for our food to arrive, after ordering it. While waiting, a family of 4 came in, ordered their food, got it and nearly finished eating before ours came. Our waiter served the family, sitting right next to us, and didn't even glance at us or tell us to have patience for our food. When I asked for the bill, nearly 10 minutes went by before I could pay. So the place is Cosy, the food is excellent, but the waiting time could be better. Would not eat there at rush hour.

The food is honestly outstanding. Service was really good, in spite of there only being about 4 servers for the entire restaurant (which, the night we went, also inlcluded what seemed to be a large birthday party with about 50 people), who were also running the bar area. I have eaten a lot of Bratkartoffeln in my day but it's been nearly 2 weeks since I went in and I still can't stop thinking about them. There isn't a huge menu to choose from, but they put a lot of care and effort into what is there and it shows. Definitely make a reservation - seating is limited and it fills up quickly.
