Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg

Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg

In a city that hosted the early gigs of Liverpool's original 'Fab Four', Hamburg once again claims its rock residency with the Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg. Situated near the banks of the Elbe River in one of the city's most historic buildings, the Landungsbrücken, it shares the port with local landmarks like the Old Elbe Tunnel, the Old Warehouse District, and the Harbor City. Hard Rock Cafe Hamburg is a must-visit destination.

Restaurant Haerlin

Restaurant Haerlin

Hamburg boasts several restaurants with one Michelin star, but Christoph Rüffer's establishment stands out with a second star. The chef and his team craft modern and creative menus rooted in classic French gourmet cuisine at the prestigious Fairmont Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. Seasonal ingredients fresh from the market ensure the highest quality of food. The ambiance is elegantly understated, and the service impresses with its perfect balance of subtlety and attentiveness.

The Table

The Table

The Table, operated by Germany's youngest recipient of three Michelin stars, Kevin Fehling, captivates with its modern interior and unique culinary experiences. Situated in the heart of HafenCity, the restaurant showcases some extraordinary design choices. Notably, there is just one single, large cherry wood table, seating up to 20 guests. From here, diners have the opportunity to view the open kitchen and watch the preparation of exclusive dishes.

Bullerei

Bullerei

TV chef Tim Mälzer's restaurant is a crowd-pleaser. To snag a table, it's wise to book ahead. The grill's offerings, particularly the Argentine fillet steak, are impeccable and cooked to perfection. If you're indecisive, opt for a surprise menu with three or four courses. Rest assured, it's bound to be delightful.

Fischereihafen

Fischereihafen

Located at the Dockland pier, with harbour scenes adorning the walls and views from the window looking directly onto the water, this restaurant's focus is clear: fish. And for over sixty years, it's been prepared here in every conceivable variation, always freshly caught. In summer, visit the balcony for a beautiful view of the Elbe.

BLOCKBRÄU

BLOCKBRÄU

BLOCKBRÄU Brewery is located right in the heart of Hamburg's harbour. This successful restaurant chain belongs to Eugen Block, a star in Germany's gastronomy firmament. There, you can enjoy freshly brewed beer along with complementary dishes straight from the brewery's kitchen. The large terrace offers a beautiful view over the bustling harbour activity.

Cox

Cox

Cox is a charming establishment, captivating with its exceptionally charming bistro style. The atmosphere is always cosy, despite the bustling activity. This is primarily due to the excellent cuisine. Regional dishes are reinterpreted in a modern style, with no shortage of fish and meat dishes. Try and visit Cox later in the evening. At that time, the restaurant is pleasantly empty and the kitchen is even open until just before midnight, which is very accommodating to theatre-goers or visitors to the State Opera who would still like a meal after the performance.

Zipang

Zipang

Far from the typical menus found at Japanese restaurants in Germany, Zipang embraces its own 'Fusion-Style' to create novel dishes. The Iberian pork roulade with shiso herbs and a shibazuke sauce is just as intriguing as the crème brûlée made from Japanese green tea and mascarpone, served with a sorbet of seasonal fruits.

East Restaurant

East Restaurant

The restaurant in the stylish East Hotel offers excellent Asian and European cuisine, just a stone's throw from Hamburg's entertainment district. Top chefs regularly create new and extraordinary dishes here. The menu features sushi and sashimi, as well as international meat- and fish-based main courses.

Jacobs

Jacobs

Chef Thomas Martin crafts seasonal menus that showcase a light and fresh style, elegant without being showy. A cooking class is available for a deeper dive into the preparation of these culinary delights. On pleasant days, you can dine outdoors in the shade of the old lime trees.

Carls at the Elbphilharmonie

Carls at the Elbphilharmonie

This piece of France is situated in a dreamy location right next to Hamburg's new landmark and boasts three distinct dining areas: Brasserie, Bistro, and Weinbar. Enjoy creative meat and fish dishes, complemented by a robust wine list.

Ristorante Portonovo

Ristorante Portonovo

Portonovo presents authentic Italian cuisine in a lively and welcoming atmosphere. Situated beside the Outer Alster lake, the restaurant offers striking vistas. The dishes are expertly prepared with a contemporary flair, fully embracing the use of fresh, seasonal ingredients.

Gröninger Privatbrauerei

Gröninger Privatbrauerei

Gröninger Privatbrauerei is one of Hamburg's oldest breweries. This is where Gröninger Pils is brewed, which can then be self-tapped and enjoyed from old wooden barrels in the brew cellar or brewery. The atmosphere in the historic surroundings dating back to 1722 is unique. Don't miss the chance to experience Gröninger with friends.

Engel

Engel

The gourmet restaurant stands out with its exceptional location on a former viewing platform, alongside the Elbe. But head chef Tarik Rose understands that ambiance alone isn't enough. He excels in the kitchen by giving classic dishes a modern twist, all while paying homage to French culinary art.

El Tequito

El Tequito

For over 20 years, El Tequito has been located at the St. Pauli Fish Market. Here, the highlights of Mexican, American and Creole cuisine are crafted into distinctive dishes. Pair your dinner with a delicious cocktail in the lounge before a stroll through the district.
