Hummer Pedersen

We originally meant to book in for New Year's eve, but, as one would expect, 3 days before there'd be little chance there. Trying again just after New Year we got lucky and got a table for the two and a half of us. The reception was very welcoming, with the staff attending to all of us, friendly and happy - just enough and not too much. Perfect. That service level was maintained throughout and very accommodating, almost home or at least, like dining at a friend's place. We were very set on getting my wife what Hummer Pedersen is known, even famous for - Lobster. So half a Canadian lobster it was for her. I was torn between the tuna steak and the North Sea Turbot. The waitress was great helping me to decide. Pedersen had fresh blue fin tuna as a starter special, so I could have tuna, naturally, to be shared with my wife, and I got to have my North Sea Turbot as well - and never looked back. What a recommendation that was. The tuna was so extremely tender, firm but melty, if one can imagine without sampling the real thing. The presentation was excellent and the whole composition - a dream of extremely well balanced flavours, with the wasabi dressing supporting all flavours, not overpowering, but like a good base line in a song supporting all presented on the plate. The chef - a culinary poet. Our two year old was offered hand made fish sticks, so not frozen from a pack but - very nice and, despite her being fussy, she ate well. It was very good. The lobster was as one would expect, perfectly cooked with its flavour enhanced by the butter. Very nice, as was the tarbot on the polenta bed and sugu, again balanced flavours, cooked perfectly and excellent compositions on the plate. The recommended wine, a "Grauburgunder" Pinot Gris was an excellent recommendation rounding the meal to a fantastic culinary experience for us. As dessert we chose a succulent warm chocolate soufflé with bourbon vanilla ice cream and that too - balanced textures, flavours and just sweet enough. The grappa to digest all these wonders from Pedersen's kitchen - just nice and, yes, here it comes,.they make a very good espresso too. Full, rich, but again - balanced so well. I timed the crema for two minutes, then just had to drink it. Overall an excellent and yes, for us unforgettable dining experience. Thank you all from the kitchen to service for that. We definitely will come back for more and drop a few of the usual Hamburg names of our list in favour of Hummer Pedersen. Well done indeed. See what you made me do? Rave, and that I am not known for. Thank you.

Great service with pretty good seafood. The portions were fair sized. The seafood tasted fresh and was well prepared. The menu had a lot to choose from including the assorted fish plate which includes three different types of fish with a side. Lunch specials also available from 12 to 3.

The seafoods were very delicious and fresh. We were able to choose the lobsters’ sizes at table. A little bit expensive but in total, plus points. We will come back definitely.

Top seafood. Top service. Top atmosphere. It’s really hard to describe my lunch experience, this kind of a place, you have to visit and enjoy it. If you are reading my review…. Just go. It worth it.

This was my 2nd time eating at Hummer Pedersen. The 1st time was during semi-lockdown during the summer of 2020. I went for dinner here with my sister during a rainy Saturday night. For the starter, we shared the Ziegenkäse salad which was a delicious berry salad with grilled goat's cheese and sauteed prawns. It was a really impressive starter for what we thought we just be a typical goat's salad. For the mains, we ordered the lobster tagliatelle and the saffron scallops. Both of the mains were very good, but I would recommend ordering the lobster soup as a starter instead of the pasta as the lobster tagliatelle is a lot of lobster to get through in terms of strong flavours. My sister's saffron risotto was good but the rice was a little mushy. We would recommend some of the specials they had, which some of our neighbours ordered which was salmon with mashed potatoes or a delicious turbot. Overall, their dishes are excellent. I would just also recommend trying their specials when they advertise them, as they looked excellent and order lobster more in small portions as it can be very strong in terms of its flavour.

2025.06.10: had a rosé Crémant and some oysters. Had a really good time here, during a Tuesday, around lunchtime, we could easily get a table. First time eating oysters, so I don't have a base for comparison, but I enjoyed the experience.

This is a small restaurant, but it provides very good food and service! Our appetizer and main dishes are very delicious. I will definitely come back to try other dishes!
