The 10 best restaurants with traditional North German cuisine in Hamburg

Heinz Wehmann is a gourmet rock in the surf, modern, North German high cuisine is his territory. Lobster ravioli, pan-fried fish, Oevelgönner fish soup, Holstein saddle of venison and vegan creations are excellent.

A dream location on the Elbe, a wonderful terrace with a view of big boats and a romantic atmosphere. Fish to the point: ceviche, bouillabaisse, rockfish, pan fish and plaice, accompanied by expert wine pairing.

Near the Michel in a historic alley is this cosy restaurant with North German cuisine. Original Hamburger Labskaus, Hamburger Aalsuppe, Kutterscholle and Hamburger Rote Grütze are served here.

In the thatched farmhouse, rural idyll and culinary delights merge - in summer also in the garden. From Faroese salmon to fillet of beef and Kaiserschmarren pancakes, country delights with an urban twist await.

The menu here is bursting with fish - fresh from the Hamburg fish market. In addition to eel soup, Labskaus and pan-fried fish, there is also a 4-course menu to choose from in a maritime atmosphere. Hamburg bread pudding is recommended for dessert.

Wood-panelled restaurant with a maritime ambience that has existed for over 100 years. On the menu you can find North German fish and meat dishes. The baked cod fillet and the pan fish are especially recommended.

Fantastic restaurant for seasonal and regional delights and market hall in a great industrial ambience. Head chef Thomas Sampl and his team conjure up delicacies from breakfast to dinner in the open kitchen.

Restaurant in the retro look of the 50s. All the original recipes from the 1930s have been passed on. So baked fish and potato salad still taste like they did in the old days. The food is eaten only with two forks and no knife - just like back then.
