The story
Since early 2024, GLORIE has been the à la carte restaurant on the upper floor of the 100/200 complex in Hamburg’s HafenCity. Chef Thomas Imbusch and host Sophie Lehmann welcome guests into a space they call their “living room on the gallery” – a setting that feels both everyday and special. The kitchen earned a Michelin star in 2025, alongside a green star for sustainability, placing GLORIE within a rare constellation: three Michelin stars and two green stars under one roof.
The menu at GLORIE is a deliberate rediscovery of classic cuisine. Imbusch works with French and German traditions, serving dishes like lobster Thermidor and pâté en croûte with sauce gribiche – old-school techniques executed with modern precision. The cooking is unpretentious but technically exacting, presented with a casual elegance that matches the room.
Another specialty: aged and refined steak cuts from the restaurant’s own cattle, sourced from “Färsenflüsterer” Andreas Westphal in Heidenau. These are prepared in a Molteni oven and cast-iron pan, served precisely to the guest’s preference. Yet GLORIE is equally committed to vegetarian compositions – the kitchen insists the restaurant is for everyone, with no fixed menu obligation and space kept for spontaneous visits.
The contemporary edge lies not in gimmicks but in the clarity of the cooking. Imbusch’s interpretations are modern without losing the soul of the originals. The wine list and service match the kitchen’s ambition, and the atmosphere remains relaxed – a place for a proper dinner without ceremony. With a Michelin star already in its first year, GLORIE has quickly become a destination for those who value craft over hype.

Concept The à la carte restaurant of the "100/200". No set menu is served here. Culinary Style The à la carte menu is a collection of very well-executed classics. It features roast beef with pan-fried potatoes served as potato pavé and remoulade, as well as beef pâté in a pastry crust with gribiche sauce and pickled vegetables. From the separate meat menu, bone-aged cuts are offered, such as a 400 g rib section or a club steak, accompanied by salad and Café de Paris butter. A scoop of vanilla ice cream with pumpkin seed oil and caviar provides a fitting finale. Wine The wine list is extensive and very well-stocked – everyone will find exactly what they're looking for. Atmosphere The "Glorie" has a balcony from which you can overlook the restaurant with its open kitchen and the Elbe River – that is something special. Verdict Exceptional enjoyment à la carte.
