We stumbled upon this gem of a restaurant, drawn in by the whiskey title in the name. We were ever so pleased we found it, as it was some of the best service and food we have experienced. From the moment we stepped inside it was an amazing welcome and friendly service. Their knowledge of their extensive list of available whiskies is second to none. Would highly recommend to any whiskey lover in Hamburg!

Located next to the historic Michel, Krameramtsstuben is a restaurant rich in tradition that offers rich German and Hamburg cuisines. The warm, welcoming atmosphere is created through not only the beautiful interior décor, but through the hospitality of the chefs. Diners at Krameramtsstuben typically indulge in meals like the homemade beef roulade served with red cabbage and parsley potatoes. Various kinds of drinks are served as well. It is a great place for a date night. Krameramtsstuben allows casual dine-ins and guests can make reservations for events and dining.

Classic Restaurant. So much history. Best steak and oxtail soup I ever had. The server was wonderful and even the woman owner asked us how our meal was. First class restaurant. I highly recommend this gem.

HafenCity

About the restaurant

Das „The Table“ von Sternekoch Kevin Fehling im Hamburger Szeneviertel HafenCity überzeugt mit Modernität und Exklusivität. Fernab der klassischen High-Class-Restaurants überzeugt „The Table“ mit innenarchitektonischen Reizen, die in Deutschland einmalig sind. Ein einzelner, geschwungener Tresen aus dunklem Kirschbaumholz enthebt den Gast der üblichen Konventionen. Gemütlichkeit und Leichtigkeit stehen im Fokus. Der Gast findet im „The Table“ einen Ort um sich fallen und von den Köstlichkeiten berauschen zu lassen – ganz ohne herkömmliche Schickeria.

Außergewöhnlich hochwertig ist nicht nur die Einrichtung vom „The Table“, sondern auch die Küche charakterisiert sich weiterhin durch gewohnt überdurchschnittliche Qualität und perfektionierte Handwerkskunst – ganz im Stil von Spitzenkoch Kevin Fehling. Im Hamburger Trendrestaurant findet der Gourmetliebhaber klassische Gerichte modern interpretiert, nuanciert durch die Einflüsse unterschiedlicher Breitengrade.

About the restaurant

Anständig essen auf St. Pauli
Hamburger Küche, norddeutsche Kost
Mittenmang, an Deutschlands prominentester Straße, da liegt das Reep. Aufgetischt werden bei uns die liebsten Klassiker der Hamburger Küche, feine Hausmannskost aus dem Norden – und unsere Stadt wäre nicht das Tor zur Welt, würden wir nicht immer mal wieder einen beherzten Blick über den hanseatischen Tellerrand werfen.

Restaurant waterkant

Fish

St.Pauli

About the restaurant

WATERKANT.
Fresh fish out of the open show kitchen.
Step into the waterkant restaurant and experience how first-class fish is prepared in the show kitchen. Chef Corey Mulsow and his team conjure up creative dishes with intense flavors from freshly caught fish and the "Catch of the Day". The culinary concept is underlined by the extraordinary design by British star architect David Chipperfield. Stylish and communicative - this is how the innovative restaurant presents itself and impresses with its clear lines and high-quality materials.

Start with an aperitif at the 6-metre-long counter of the waterkant bar or in the cozy lounge area before we spoil you with delicious fish dishes while your gaze wanders out of the panoramic windows on the second floor over the Blohm und Voss harbour docks.

Fancy some fish? Then make the waterkant your "Catch of the Day"!

By the way... meat lovers and vegetarians will also get their money's worth!

I tried this restaurant today, and the experience was truly wonderful in every sense of the word. Every single dish I tried was incredibly delicious—so much so that I finished all of it, which is unusual for me! The service was excellent. I had actually made a reservation a while ago while I was still in Qatar, and I had requested that all dishes be alcohol-free and contain no meat, as I only eat halal food. To my surprise, everything exceeded my expectations. The flavors were exceptional—honestly, I was shocked at how tasty everything was! I sincerely thank all the staff for their warm hospitality, and a special thanks to the chef for the amazing food.

The salt & silver restaurants are my favorite in Hamburg, and I’ve tried a lot. Consistently creative and interesting. This new bistro crido keeps in really simple. A great casual feels with top notch food and incredibly warm and friendly service. Also, buy a cookbook!
