North German Classics

LABSKAUS “CHEF’S STYLE”

a true Northern German classic with soul:

Homemade Labskaus made from beef, beetroot and potatoes – gently mashed, boldly seasoned, and full of memories of wind, waves and wide horizons.
Served with tender matjes herring fillets, fried eggs, beetroot and pickled gherkin – as honest as the North itself.

23.50 | small: 20

A dish like an old sailor’s song: born from simple ingredients, carried by a longing for home. Hearty, familiar, and still a firm anchor of Northern German cuisine.
