Brasserie and bar. This is HYGGE! Excellent and creative cuisine. A superb bar and warm service. We are an urban hotspot in the heart of the rural Elb-Suburbs of Hamburg, with plenty of room for many HYGGE-Moments. Come in and find out!
A Place to Enjoy the Good Life.
The Danish word HYGGE stands for zest for life, comfort, time with family and friends. HYGGE means to enjoy the moment - with good food and excellent drinks in the warm light of the open fire. All this you will find here. HYGGE is a place to come together. In the former polo stables, we serve seasonal dishes for every taste. Or enjoy your meal family-style: everyone at the table help themsevles to what they like.
But HYGGE is not just about good food: you can relax on our cosy leather sofas, admire the beehives in the garden or contemplate about life while sitting by the fire. Or which wine to order next. And there are stylish drinks waiting for you at the bar, mixed by our creative barkeepers.
Brasserie
Simply HYGGE.
Our elegant cuisine doesn't need to make a big fuss. Naturally, we use regional, high quality foods. No great meal without fantastic ingredients! Hence, we know all our suppliers on a personal level and stay in close contact and communication with them.
We set very high standards to ourselves but our focus lies on all our guests at the table. Because HYGGE is for everyone and means sharing the nice things in life. That's why all meals can be ordered family-style.
Bar
Where Good Spirits Meet
We appreciate individuality. Whether you enjoy a sparkling HYGGE Spritz with a fine hint of bitterness or a Moscow Mule with homemade ginger beer. Alongside many own creations, we also mix classic long drinks & cocktails, of course.
And everything in the high quality HYGGE stands for. Any special requests regarding drinks and spirits, we are more than happy to assist you - in that easy-going HYGGE style, of course!
By the way: We have just been named the best bar in the “restaurant bar” category in the Falstaff Bar Guide 2024.
Wine
From Aglianico to Zierfandler
Wine has many colours, scents, aromas and characteristics. Those who already know what they want, will surely be satisfied here. And those who would like to try something new, can speak to our sommelier Lennart Wenk, who will be more than happy to assist and tell you stories about the famous wine regions around the globe, be it the Rheingau, Tuscany or South Africa, as well as different vineyard locations, grapes and their maturation, or about Champagne or Sauvignon-Blanc.
Great names? We've got them. More importantly though: it has to go with the meal, be it oysters or Zabaione.

Why not stay overnight?
Staying with friends. Upon entering the country house, you can still feel the heritage of the former farmstead: 200-year-old ceiling beams, rustic oak floorboards, and an open fireplace. The Hotel Landhaus Flottbek offers 26 individually furnished rooms with a genuine feel-good atmosphere.
Take a look inside!
HYGGE the farm – delicious and sustainable
In the heart of western Hamburg, you'll find 2,000 m² of farmland, 1,500 m² of which is under glass, full of special varieties of vegetables and herbs that you won't find just anywhere. Here you can see how your food is grown—and enjoy it fresh at the HYGGE Farm Deli or prepare it yourself at home.
Time to party!
Whether it's a wedding, birthday, or Christmas party—we'll turn it into a real HYGGE moment. Our à la carte restaurant can accommodate up to 30 people. If you need more space, we'll open HYGGE exclusively for you—and celebrate with up to 100 guests in a relaxed, enjoyable, and unforgettable atmosphere. We look forward to welcoming you and your party!
