"short review: tasty, but small pizza, friendly service – and yet the evening did not run round! 3 stars with a lot of potential. it is Friday evening, best meal shortly after 19.30 clock, when we are in the la casa, an Italian restaurant in an old villa. sitting on only one of the 8 tables and as no service is to be seen, we sit on a table for two people and wait. and wait. time for a look in detail: slobby lighting, terracotta-colored walls, matching table runners, small tealights with flickering light on the tables, paintings (landscapes, still life, flowers near the walls, which are provided with price tags and offered for sale. then finally a very nice service appears that menus that have a lot to offer: antipasti, fish and meat, pizza and pasta, salad, desserts. the text is not as good as it can be seen, as first the lighting is weak and secondly the individual pages are stuck in labye clear envelopes, which unfortunately are all but clear. a decision is made quickly. I choose my body and magenta food, vegetarian pizza (9,50 € – here called pizza verdura – and in small pils (0,3 l to 2,70 €) and wait. in the meantime 40 minutes have passed since the pizza order, my dear hangs in the knees, I am impatient, the clock shows 20.30 and we are hungry! the guests who have appeared after us are now almost ready to eat while we are still waiting. how heart lut wants to stand up after need, the service appears, apologises with many beautiful words, they have overlooked the order form. After another 10 minutes we finally get our food. the pizza is a little small, but it is filled with fresh vegetables (brukkoli, paprika, wobbles, mushrooms, tomato). the floor is rough, there is nothing to complain. Finally we order espresso, very strong, very good at 2,50 € per piece. an eject of the order should certainly not happen, but can happen once. but if such a thing happens, it would be appropriate for me to offer an espresso or a grappa as a small repair, simply as a sign of apology, good will and generousness, especially because it was a time-intensive delay. the pizzas, although small, tasted good, the service was friendly, but that when entering the permanently empty restaurants went well for 5 minutes until an operation appeared on the picture surface, we felt as disturbing as the long wait for eating and then talking kinky. 3 stars, with ach and crow, more did not come together during this visit."

"We have already visited both restaurants several times. The food really tastes great and the price is fine. Unfortunately, the last visits have been negative for us. (Hüxterdamm orders are received late, it is not asked if everything is okay or if you want to drink something and generally you have the feeling that you are ignored. A friendly and welcome occurrence is missing. The ladies don't feel so good (Absacker would there be only “Wodka or something similar” ?? Only a gentleman does not meet the whole thing. This is always trying. For such a high-quality restaurant, unfortunately, a behavior does not fit."

"Small but nice pizza shop. The pizza is really great and not like the usual pizza next door. The dough is made with a lot of love and you can taste it. The Atomosphere is also very cozy and you can eat pizza there and end the evening relaxing. Prices are also super fair. Service: Dine in Meal type: Dinner"

"Marae Kaffee offers great espresso beverages and light fare in a cozy and bright environment. For those who do not speak German, the whole staff speaks English very well and are happy to accommodate. The menu offers espresso drinks (with many different non-dairy options for...those who prefer), salads, and a selection of homemade pastries that are beautifully decorated. On Saturday mornings they also serve breakfast. You won’t want to miss visiting for brunch on the first Saturday of every month, as Jay and his wife prepare a unique selection of foods themed from different cultures. Sometimes lost in the third-wave-coffee world is a sense of welcoming and acceptance by those owners and baristas that pridefully cultivate the art of coffee culture. Jay, his wife, and his team at Marae are very welcoming and eager to make every guest feel at home and wanted as a patron. From this coffee aficionado to you, thank you for being so welcoming and polite to me during my visits! Simply put if you are in Lübeck and in need of a great espresso drink, coffee, pastry, or light meal, there is no better place to visit."

"Zur Mittagszeit an einem sonnigen Wochenauftakt zog es mich in das Cafe Hansehof, auf das ich vor allem wegen des Angebotes vieler verschiedener herzhafter und süßer Pfannkuchen-Gerichte aufmerksam geworden war.Das Cafe liegt etwas versteckt in einem der so typischen historischen Lübecker Hinterhöfe. Sehr freundlich und mit einem wunderbaren Lachen auf dem Gesicht wurde ich von der Betreiberin und Köchin Petra Weichel, welche zuvor das ehemalige Restaurant "Remise" nur ein paar Häuser entfernt bis 2015 geleitet hat (heute befindet sich dort die "Neue Rösterei"). Kostenloses WLAN wird ebenfalls angeboten.Nun zur Kulinarik.Meine Wahl fiel auf eine Pfannkuchen-Kreation mit Bezug zum Meer: Ein Lachs-Pfannkuchen, gefüllt mit Räucherlachs, Sour Cream, feine Apfelsscheiben, Lauchzwiebeln und etwas Sahne-Meerrettich.Man merkte sofort, dass sich hier wirklich Gedanken um das Gericht gemacht wurde und dieses mit ebensoviel Herzblut zubereitet wurde.Der Pfannkuchen war nicht zu dick und ließ der Füllung geschmacklichen Raum. Bei dieser ging keine Zutat unter, sondern alles ergänzte sich gegenseitig sehr gut: Das Räucheraroma des Lachs, die leichte Süße und Säure der Apfelscheiben, die leichte Schärfe des Meerrettichs, die Frische der Sour Cream und zuletzt der Biss durch die Lauchzwiebeln. Nur noch ein klein wenig mehr Salz und vielleicht sogar etwas Würze im Pfannkuchen (vielleicht Dill?) würden meiner Meinung nach zu einer rundum absolut perfekten Komposition fehlen.Ganz besonders möchte ich aber noch einmal die Herzlichkeit von Fr. Weichel betonen: Ganz interessiert führten wir am Ende meines Besuchs noch ein Gespräch über die Pfannkuchen-Kreation und ihrer Idee, sich mit dem Cafe vielleicht gerade auf solche Pfannkuchen-Gerichte zu spezialisieren.Partout lehnte sich mein Trinkgeld am Ende ab, da ich für Sie "ein so netter, freundlicher Gast" war: Wo bitte findet man so eine Gastfreundlichkeit heutzutage noch?Ich wünsche Fr. Weichel einfach nur alles Gute und ganz viel Erfolg mit ihrem Vorhaben der Pfannkuchen und kann hiermit nur jedem wärmstens empfehlen, diese einmal selbst bei einem Besuch im Cafe Hansehof auszuprobieren! Das Cafe sollte definitiv mehr als nur ein Geheimtipp in der Lübecker Gastronomie sein!"
