Theo's

As a steak connoisseur , I have sampled almost all high end steak houses in Hamburg . Theo's in central Hamburg is American inspired with a morden , elegant yet informal environment . To start with , the bar is a great place to have your aperitive before moving to the adjoining dinning area . Ordered an US beef ( they didn't specify exactly which US type it was ) rib eye ...... medium . The steak was served as it should be on a hot plate , the meat was grilled at high temperature giving the top layer a crust with soft meat underneath . The sides were good (though they give it a fusion touch ); I like classic and hence had to ask them to do it without any twist . Service was good , attentive waitress without being overbearing . For dessert , the mixed variation my guest tried looked good but can't comment on its taste . They have a good selection of wine even by the glass .... would recommend this for steak lovers ; price point is acceptable as per fine dinning steak house standards though would be considered expensive by averages Hamburg prices . Prior Booking highly recommended . Parking might be an issue (unless you use the Elysee hotels parking )but not impossible ; it's a very short walk from the Damtor railway station .

We were staying at the Radisson Blu, and it was an easy walk to this restaurant. We had a 6pm reservation, and were seated immediately at a window, so we had great seats. I was totally impressed that our waiter (Lars) had his own business card that he placed on the table. My husband and I ordered filet mignon with side orders of green beans, mashed potatoes and carrots. Our steaks were the best steaks we had in years and were perfectly cooked to our liking. The side orders were prepared with love and tasted delicious. Our taste buds would love to eat in this restaurant every day. The key lime pie was a real treat. Bravo Theo's for a job more than well done. What an amazing culinary experience..

A meat lovers must. Well worth the walk. Lovely staff who make you feel very welcome. I highly recommend the Porterhouse steak, you can choose from available sizes on a blackboard. It was divine. Side dishes and sauces are free to choose from and are included in the "steak price". It's a steak for 2 persons to share and we were afraid at first that it would be to much (810 g for 2 persons) but there is a rather large piece of bone attached with it. So definitely go for a bigger one. The porterhouse steak alone cost around 95-100 euro (for 2 persons). But I'd rather eat here once than 2 other times at other restaurants.

Both this steakhouse and its meat are, literally, one cut above the rest. The lively and relaxed atmosphere of Theo's, located in the excellent Grand Elysee hotel, provides a pleasant setting. Add to that mouthwatering, dry-aged steaks from the US, Ireland or Germany's own Mecklenburg-Pomerania and an attentive service and you come about as close to a steak lover's heaven as you can east of the Mississippi - and of the US. Recommended !

On a 800 degree grill the steaks where cooked perfect with a crispy crust. Ambience is cosy, professional and romantic. What would you wish more for a good diner with your partner or friends. Had diner twice this week. Once rib-eye on the bone and once the filet. Both a roller coaster experience. Next week no meat but these dinners will be remembered for a long time.
