Restaurants Hamburg Guide Best Restaurants

Though not often referred to for its cuisine; Germany is home to much more than just beer and brats. Germany's rustic, hearty and delicious cuisine can be sampled in Germany's many high quality restaurants, as can food from around the world.



Hamburg is a modern European city with a diverse population. The two most popular street foods in Berlin are Kebab and Curry Wurst. Curry Wurst is a sausage, slathered in ketchup and sprinkled with curry powder; an elegant combination of cultures.



High end restaurants in Hamburg often import foods from other European countries, but Germans themselves produce some exportable delicacies. Brandenburg duck, white asparagus from Beelitz has recently become very popular in gourmet restaurants across Europe.



Hamburg restaurants often offer several courses, especially in the more high-end. The classic German four course meal consists of Eisbein (pork knuckle) served with sauerkraut, pureed peas and boiled potatoes. You may also encounter rolled stuffed beef, suckling pig or ground beef dishes. Recently, as more and more Germans move from the country to the city, more country cuisine is being served in restaurants and appreciated as never before.



If you’re looking for Italian food in Hamburg, the Rocco is a popular pizza and pasta joint among locals. Thai food lovers should head straight over to Manee Thai, and those with a hankering for Turkish cuisine should eat at Baris, in the Hohenfelde neighborhood. It’s delicious.
