About the restaurant

Mehr Hamburg geht nicht. "Großes Kino auf der Elbe" kann erleben, wer den Weg an den Fähranleger Teufelsbrück findet. Hier, vis-a-vis des Airbus-Werks, liegt das schwimmende Restaurant Engel. Für die Hamburger und ihre Gäste gibt es nichts Schöneres als an oder auf ihrer Elbe zu sein. Man nimmt Platz an fein eingedeckten Tischen im rundum verglasten Restaurant und sitzt in der ersten Reihe, kann den Lotsen beim Wechsel zusehen und die großen Pötte beim Vorbeifahren bestaunen. Zu unserer Küche: "Wir sind keine Revolutionäre, keine jungen Wilden, sondern kochen klassisch-modern, handwerklich fundiert, mit Raum für den besonderen Einfall. Verarbeitet werden ausschließlich frische vorwiegend nachhaltig erzeugte Produkte bester Qualität.“ (Tarik Rose) Wer es etwas rustikaler mag, besucht den Engel Imbiss, der sich im Parterre des Ponton-Restaurants befindet. Und wenn es mal was zu feiern gibt, dann wird der Engel in exponierter Lage auch gerne vermietet.

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!

About the restaurant

Nowhere else in Hamburg will you be able to drown your everyday routine as pleasantly as in the deep twilight blue close to the Alster - the best time for dinner at HERITAGE. A glass elevator takes you up to the 9th floor and neveals the beauty you can expect up there: panoramic view of the waterfront. For the Dry Aged Steaks, the fire is lighted every evening in the 800° Southbend oven. #heritagehh

Overall a great experience. Wonderful view over the Alster lake. Food is delicious. Portions are generous so do consider sharing dishes if you are not overly hungry. Be aware it is a cashless hotel so payment only via card.

Make sure you have a reservation before you go. If the weather is nice, I suggest you give them a call to check if you can sit outside. The food was fresh and tasty, the service was quick and our waiter was very kind. We wanted to try the Zunge fish, and he suggested us that he can ask the kitchen to prepare half portion. We had also calamari and schrimps, which were all great. The view is amazing with a very fancy ambient.

Cocktail Bar

St.Pauli

About the restaurant

The Skyline Bar 20up has recently become one of Hamburg’s gastronomic hotspots and, with its diverse selection of fresh cocktails, is also a well-known hub of St. Pauli. In addition to its elegant ambience, the bar captivates with its unique view of the Hamburg harbour. The seven meter high panorama windows offer an unrestricted view of the city's most important sights, such as the fish market and the concert hall Elphilharmonie.
However, the drinks are as exclusive as the bar itself. The bar team serves cocktail classics and long drinks as well as changing own creations.

I love love love this bar!! The view, the vibe, and our waiter were perfection!! I’m a rose drinker so I was happy to see whispering angel by the glass. The people watching was wonderful, the views were breathtaking and Nescho made our night perfection. He has the best personality and added the cherry on top to an already exceptional experience. I highly recommend. Views for days!

Beautiful spot on the pontoon - lovely walk down the pretty steps from the train station, and the ship watching during dinner is hard to beat. 4 course fish menu was on special offer and good value. Slightly odd that swapping the appetitive for a different one (same price on menu) was not allowed.

We had a fantastic server. He was kind, professional, and aided us greatly as we are not German speakers. The food and wine were excellent! We are big fans of your yummy bread and butter. Our dinner with you at Fang & Feld was a highlight of our time in Hamburg.

About the restaurant

Der Kern unseres Restaurantschiffs ist die „Alster III“, das langjährige Flaggschiff der „weißen Flotte“. 1930 in Betrieb genommen, 1962 ausgemustert, hat es 1989 als Restaurant „Galatea“ am Ballindamm festgemacht.

Nun hat sich ein Team um die Betriebsleiter Florian Kretschmer & den Küchenchef John Iskaev daran gemacht, das Schiff auf neuen kulinarischen Kurs zu bringen. Der Fokus liegt auf exzellenten Sushi & Steak- Spezialitäten von einigen der besten Lieferanten der Welt. Zum Beispiel:
„Rungis express“ von Metzgers
„Stockyard“ Australien: Die Oberste Marmorierungs-Kategorie (Mbs 9+) außerhalb Japans haben wir als Kiwami auf der Karte
„Creekstone“-Farm, Kansas ist unser Direkt-Lieferant für bestes US-Fleisch
„Miyazaki A5“ ist unser japanisches Fleisch.
„Lerch“ ist unser Hauptlieferant für Fisch und Meeresfrüchte in unseren Sushi-Kreationen
Natürlich gehören zum Genuss dieser Delikatessen auch exquisite Beilagen, eine persönliche Beratung und eine Essen bieten wir bis 22Uhr an.

The food was lovely, quiet when we went. Cosy and lovely view. Was the food worth the price, no. Was it delicious, yes. Potatoe Purree should not be €11. The service though vs the food was very low quality. Almost as if we were interrupting their relaxing time. I had to ask for the bill and our empty plates sat on the table for a long time. They didn’t bother to say goodbye even though we were the only ones in there. I wouldn’t return.

Das Seehaus Hamburg ist die neue Bar- und Restaurant-Kombination direkt an der Außenalster. In der ehemaligen „Kajüte“ finden Sie nun einen Ort, an dem Sie direkt an der Alster bei Champagner, Cocktails, Bier und Wein von unserer Austernbar, aber auch Sushi & frischen Fisch genießen können. Im Sommer lädt sie unsere Terrasse und der Bootssteg mitten zwischen den Booten dazu ein, die Füße im Wasser baumeln zu lassen und zu entspannen. Unser aufmerksames und freundliches Team aus Service, gelernten Barkeepern und Sommelier sorgen dafür, dass Ihre höchsten Ansprüche sowohl an den Bars wie auch im Restaurant erfüllt werden. Tagsüber halten wir Sie fit mit leckeren Säften und Tee- & Café-Spezialitäten.

Ab 22 Uhr bieten wir Pizzen an.
