OUR PHILOSOPHY
ALWAYS FRESH
At XO Seafoodbar, freshness is at the heart of what we do. We serve seafood directly from regional waters, preserving each ingredient’s purity and natural taste.
Our vegetables and dairy are sourced fresh from the Hamburg area, ensuring that every dish captures the vibrant essence of nature.

FROM THE REGION
The North Sea is both our heart and our inspiration. We source our seafood from these waters, in close collaboration with local fisheries that prioritize sustainability.
Each dish tells the story of the sea, delivering an authentic, regional flavor while helping to support the local economy.

SEASONALITY
Nature sets the rhythm, and we follow its lead. XO Seafoodbar’s menu is based on seasonal ingredients, enabling us to offer peak flavors while respecting natural cycles.
By aligning our offerings with the seasons, guests enjoy the freshest catches of the sea year-round, experiencing freshness in every dish.

FULL FLAVOUR
XO Seafoodbar is a French bistro at heart, rooted in the rhythm of the sea. In winter, it’s warm bowls of mussels, rich sauces, and a glass that keeps the cold away. In summer, it’s oysters on ice, crisp wines, and flavours as bright as the season. Always simple, always fresh, always with a touch of French soul.
