On a sunny day, a table overlooking the River Elbe can offer an alfresco experience as good as any in southern Europe. Located in a converted warehouse in the former fishing port, this restaurant serves up fine seafood to the burghers of Hamburg, who like to dine on the outside terrace, weather permitting, and watch the
container ships glide gracefully past. If you eat here, steer clear of the Hamburg Menu, which includes the peculiarly unattractive seafarers' dish of Labskaus, a mess of beef, onions, potatoes, gherkins and beetroot topped with a fried egg, and instead concentrate on the excellent fresh fish (especially codling and flounder), cured herrings and smoked eel. Start your meal with a dozen oysters from the very popular oyster bar.
