Chose this restaurant at random and we were pleasantly surprised. Sat on the terrace. The view over the river was unobstructed. The waitress was charming and helpful and spoke good English.  …

Stayed here for one night while cycle touring on the Elbe. Our room was in the annexe but it was a big room and it was clean and comfortable. We ate in the restaurant and the food was good. However, the portions were huge. …

The restaurant room was ok, with small and cozy tables. The service was nice and it was in good time. I had salmon (2 pieces) with a huge paked potato in sourcream and freshly chopped salad. A very agreable meal, very big portion and good price. It was a cold day, so we preferred to be inside in the heat... Nice experience.

We chose this restaurant on a rainy tuesday night and were very happy. Willing to give a few staples that we recognised from the german menu a try, our waitress realized we didnt speak much German and quickly brought us the english menu. …

We had lunch ( mozzarella salad,c.10€) which was good but somehow the portion was too much. But on a sunny day with a glass of cool white wine it was a memorable afternoon. The view over the Elbe was fine.

The arrival into Lauenburg isn't all that attractive as we followed the wharf area which isn't exactly beautiful. …

Along the Elbe River we stopped in Lauenburg during a 3 day cycling trip.||||The apartment has three room with a total of five beds, but only one shower and two toilets.||||The view outside the window directly onto the Elbe River was great, but the WiFi was very slow!!
