4 Best Restaurants in Hamburg, Germany

Landhaus Scherrer

$$$$ | Ottensen Fodor's choice

A proud owner of a Michelin star since it opened its doors in 1978, Landhaus Scherrer continues to be one of the city's best-known and most celebrated restaurants. The focus is on the use of organic, sustainable ingredients to produce classic and modern German cuisine with international touches, and unsurprisingly, the accompanying wine list is exceptional.

The Burger Lab

$ | Altona Fodor's choice
Somewhat ironically, for a long time it was very hard to find a decent hamburger in Hamburg; however, this small restaurant sandwiched between the Schanzenviertel and Altona is perhaps the best of the newly sprouted burger joints. Set up by two Germans and a Kiwi, The Burger Lab grinds the beef for its gourmet burgers as well as whipping up their own excellent sauces, which include chipotle aioli and burned onion cream

Ti Breizh - Haus der Bretagne

$ | Altstadt Fodor's choice
Stepping into this 18th-century merchant’s house turned Breton crepe restaurant, with its sky-blue window frames and waitstaff in striped fishermen’s shirts, is a little like being transported to a seaside eatery in northern France. Ti Breizh wows with fantastically good galettes (buckwheat crepes) topped with ham, cheese, mushrooms, and fried eggs, and its caramelized apple, banana, almond, and vanilla ice-cream crepe is worth a visit alone.

Vienna

$$ | Eimsbüttel Fodor's choice

The kitchen at this much-loved little bistro in Eimsbüttel officially opens for business at 7 pm, but Vienna opens its doors early in the afternoon for those wanting an espresso or aperitif from their tiny bar. Early arrivers might still be asked to share a table in the dining room or outside in the courtyard, but given the lovingly prepared sausages, fresh fish dishes, and hearty desserts coming out of the kitchen, it will matter little to most.
