WHERE TO EAT IN

HAMBURG

ALTSTADT €€€€

Tschebull Mönckebergstraße 7, 20095 Hamburg tschebull.de Located in the Levante House shopping center downtown, next to the Park Hyatt hotel, Tschebull is known for its menu comprised of modern interpretations of traditional Austrian fare. Try their version of flammkuchen or salzburger nockerl if you can find it on their menu– which changes daily. These dishes tend to return as they are classics. But Tschebull’s well-rounded offerings mean that this place is a crowd-pleaser and great for larger parties. Come here for the food, but stay for the wine list, focused on Austrian, Italian, Slovenian wines

NEUSTADT €€€€

Haerlin Neuer Jungfernstieg 9, 20354 Hamburg restaurant-haerlin.de Haerlin has received two Michelin stars and was named German Restaurant of Year 2014, among numerous other accolades. This should be reason enough to try this creative, French restaurant located in the Fairmont Vier Jahreszeiten Hotel. When dining at the soothing, sumptuous Haerlin, expect an experience: pampered service, dazzling presentation and food that can only be considered artistry. Those who are interested in watching the process chefs go through to design your meal, ask to be seated at the chef’s table inside the kitchen. The semi-enclosed room allows you to watch the chefs craft masterpieces on every plate. If you are in the main dining room, Haerlin serves all of its dishes with a small card, detailing the ingredients.

STERNSCHANZE €€€€

Bullerei Lagerstraße 34b, 20357 Hamburg bullerei.com Brainchild of Tim Mälzer, dubbed “the German Jaime Oliver”, Bullerei is situated in the trendy neighborhood of Sternschanze. The gastropub-style restaurant is known for their steaks and Moscow mules. This casual spot has high energy and is decked out in funky art and mismatched furniture to lend the restaurant a rustic feel. Come here with friends, as the renovated warehouse is anything but romantic because of the ambient noise. Looking for quiet? Stop in for breakfast to have the eggs benedict or treat Bullerei as all-day deli, trying regional meats for lunch.

STERNSCHANZE €€€€

Erika’s Eck Sternstraße 98, 20357 Hamburg erikaseck.de Some of you might be surprised at the inclusion of this nearly fast food place, but the food is genuinely good. Unconvinced? Local residents regularly stop here after a late night out. Open 24 hours a day, Erika’s Eck has massive plates of all your German favorites. Pair your huge portion of jägerschnitzel with an equally huge beer. Be aware that the low prices attract a college crowd and the late night hours can attract some inebriated patrons.

EPPENDORF €€€€ - €€€€

Cornelia Poletto Eppendorfer Landstraße 80, 20251 Hamburg cornelia-poletto.de If you’re sick of schnitzel and are craving Italian cuisine during your trip, try Cornelia Poletto. Founded by celebrity chef, Cornelia Poletto, the eponymous eatery is based on a traditional gastronomia, which is essentially a deli where lingering or sticking around to eat is encouraged. The long community table at the center of the restaurant adds a special touch to the already warm, laidback atmosphere. Expect simple, clean flavors of Mediterranean Italian cuisine to pair with an impressive wine list. Everything is excellent, but try starting your meal with the ox carpaccio.

UHLENHORST €€€€

Fardi Syrian Restaurant Hofweg 72, 22085 Hamburg fardi-hamburg.de Don’t be fooled by the restrained menu at Fardi. Each dish is meticulously prepared and elegantly served. The colorful combinations of ingredients on your plate only add to the experience of authentic Syrian food at its finest, with particular finesse in regards to its lamb and vegetable preparation. The service here is stellar, due in part to the genuine kindness of its staff. Enjoy a complimentary glass of prosecco with an amuse-bouche upon arrival.

ALTONAER FISCHMARKT €€€€

Fischereihafen-Restaurant Große Elbstraße 143, 22767 Hamburg

fischereihafenrestaurant.de

A Hamburg institution, Fischereihafen is famous for its classic ambience, beautiful view of the harbor, exemplary service and stellar fish dishes. We suggest you start with the oysters, carpaccio or mussels, but it’s hard to go wrong with anything on the menu of this TripAdvisor Travelers’ Choice 2014 Winner. Reservations are required for dinner, with prices on the high end, but portions are large—with the entire fish served to you for entrees. The lunch menu is more reasonable for those on a budget. It’s nice to know that this Hamburg mainstay has stayed a family affair with two generations of the Kowalke family running the restaurant and two generations of chefs, father and son, having passed through the kitchen.

ALTONAER FISCHMARKT €€€€

Henssler & Henssler Große Elbstraße 160, 22767 Hamburg hensslerhenssler.de

Another waterfront property, Henssler & Henssler takes preparation of fish very seriously. This hip sushi restaurant has incredibly high quality, fresh fish. The simple menu has almost no misses. Due to the popularity of this bustling business, don’t be surprised if you’re packed into your table like sardines– or if there are no available reservations if you call less than one week in advance. The lively energy, fabulous food and occasional celebrity sighting make this family-run restaurant worth visiting.

SANKT PAULI €€€€

Maharaja Detlev-Bremer-Straße 25-27, 20359 Hamburg maharaja-hamburg.de Considered a vegetarian paradise with its 18 vegetarian dishes, Maharaja menu is shaped by ancient Ayurvedic science where food is considered medicine. We suggest you try the meghdhanu korma, louki daal and classic palak paneer. There are Indian delights for omnivores as well, such as the rogan josh and chicken patiyala. Fear not, all servers can explain the menu to you in English, German or Hindi. This cozy restaurant is in the heart of the St. Pauli district, a few streets away from Hamburg’s night clubs and red light district, but you would never know it from the lush décor and aroma of kurkuma, ginger and other spices that surround you inside. One of our world travelers called it the “best Indian food I’ve ever had in my life.” If that isn’t incentive enough, than we don’t know what is.

SANKT PAULI €€€€

EAST Hotel & Restaurant Simon-von-Utrecht-Straße 31, 20359 Hamburg east-hamburg.de The massive complex of food and drink at the EAST Hotel & Restaurant is made up of three bars, two lounges and one open restaurant. The vibe is more Manhattan than Hamburg with the stylish, modern design, but since EAST is housed in a former iron works building, the exposed brick adds warmth and charm to your dining experience. The menus of EAST are long, but inventive with excellent cocktails, delicious sushi and solid Asian fusion, hot plates. We suggest the coconut and lemongrass soup, grilled Australian sand lobster and saddle of venison with pancetta.
