Daniel Wischer in Hamburg

Meine Mama und ich waren hier beim Abendessen und sind mega begeistert gewesen essen hat geschmeckt und das Service Personal ist mega Freundlich wie auch die Köche sind seher Freundlich bin mega begeistert ♡ ♡ ♡

Gutes Fischrestaurant gleich hinter dem Hamburger Rathaus. Das Ambiente ist nett, bei den Gästen hatten wir den Eindruck es war gut gemischt aus Touristen und Einheimischen. Das Mittagessen (Kabeljau mit Senfsoße, Scholle mit Krabben) hat uns gut geschmeckt. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich. Die Preise waren angemessen.

Tolles Restaurant mit schneller und freundlicher Bedienung. Das Essen wurde zügig serviert und war geschmacklich hervorragend. Zudem überzeugt das Restaurant mit einem ansprechenden Ambiente, in dem man sich rundum wohlfühlt. Klare Empfehlung für alle, die guten Service, leckeres Essen und eine angenehme Atmosphäre schätzen!

Super friendly staff and quality food. Value for money

Our visit on the evening of March 8, 2025 was pleasant overall. The food was delicious and the service staff impressed us with their friendliness, speed and attentiveness. Unfortunately, this positive impression was marred by an unpleasant situation in the toilet area. The employee in charge spoke to guests in an inappropriately loud tone and asked them to pay in a less than polite manner. This seemed unprofessional and left a negative aftertaste. In addition, the cleanliness of the toilets did not meet expectations. In order to maintain the otherwise harmonious overall image, it would make sense to provide employees with targeted training in this area.

Un escritorio con 1 m2 para 3 personas con equipaje es demasiado pequeño. Se lo dijimos al servicio. El restaurante estaba casi vacío. Insistieron en su opinión y nos fuimos...

Top fish cakes. They say: the best in Hamburg. Unfortunately the service at the counter was very unfriendly.

Fish cake with fries ordered very fresh and tasty, staff were also friendly and helpful.

Hello everyone, we were there on Monday lunchtime and yes, what can I say, I had the fish plate with fried potatoes and my wife had matjes with baked potatoes... From the reception to the meal, it was simply a dream and can only be recommended. I've rarely eaten such good fresh fish, keep it up, the Wischer team

Food tasty but actually expensive and not really anything special…. Upscale “North Sea”

Original, full, delicious, authentic

2 frikadellen mit püre und wasser 15 euro. absolut ungerechtfertigt finde ich. geschmacklich ist es soweit ok, aber halt überpreist.

Yes, everything to your complete satisfaction.

We ate fish sandwich, fish and chips, and fish balls. We liked the fish balls very much. Since the take away section was more comfortable, we preferred to eat there.

Despite the hut being full, we had a short wait and very nice staff. The food came quickly and was super tasty. If you want to eat good fish, this is the place for you. We'd love to come back.

We were here several times at longer intervals. I can highly recommend the food! It tastes like my grandmother's, in modern German: pure soul food. The first bite of the potato salad puts a smile on my face!

I didn't drink fish soup =) but I tried grilled salmon. Very close to the square. The ambiance of the place was nice. We tasted our seafood at the bistro.

We went on a non-peak weekday, I had no trouble finding a seat, the food was served quickly. The place is nice, the employees are attentive, there is a children's menu and they also bring painting, so the attention is high and they are kind. The food is delicious and sufficient. You should definitely make time for meals every day.

Delicious, as always...TOP -:) And this barrel shower......mmmmhhhhh

Great place to try the fish bread. The employees are very friendly and prices are yood. Beware that you can't have the fish bread in the actual restaurant, only in the area by the entrance. There you can also try different fried fish and sides.

Food was good, and the staff were polite and nice, which I didn't like because you have to pay to use the toilet if you want...

As always, it tasted great and the service was great as always

Excellent taste of food as well as kind service!

Nach langer Zeit wollte ich mir heute mal wieder etwas Fisch gönnen und das Essen ist hier ja eigentlich auch lecker. Was mir heute passiert ist verschlägt einem aber glatt die Sprache. Gut das ich mit dem Essen fertig war. Ich hatte mir dazu einen schönen Riesling bestellt und auch schon fast ausgetrunken. Ich wollte gerade mein Glas ansetzen und dann sah ich gerade noch rechtzeitig 2 Kakerlaken im Weinglas. Meiner Tischnachbarin gezeigt und den Kellner gerufen . Der meinte als er das Glas vollgemacht hätte wäre nichts drin geschwommen. Zeigte nach oben auf die Lüftungsrohre ... Keine Entschuldigung und ein neues Glas Wein wollte ich nicht . Ich werde das wohl dem Gesundheitsamt melden müssen. Es schüttelt mich immer noch ....

What can you say?! Fish, fish, fish After your visit, you should ventilate yourself well 😃 and your wardrobe as well. Delicious food, great service that evening. Regarding the ambience: due to the rents in the city center, you can understand it, but the restaurant is far too cramped. This also makes it a little louder.

The food was nothing special. There was a lack of spice in various things. The price-performance ratio was fair. The portions were large. Something small, fresh (parsley or some coleslaw perhaps) would be nice on the side of the plate. Regarding the staff: Several employees argued throughout our stay. We were still treated relatively friendly, but a little more communication would have been appropriate. For example, we didn't know that if you order your food at the counter, you can't eat it in the back of the restaurant but only in the front. The restaurant had a pleasant atmosphere.

A visit to the old traditional fish restaurant Daniel Wischer is simply part of it. Quaint with old pictures from back in the day, when a portion of fish only cost a few pfennigs, go there and have a delicious meal while enjoying Fassbrause, just great. We were thrilled. The service was very good and attentive, we will definitely come back 😊

I've traveled to about 15 countries and eaten in all sorts of restaurants, but I've never had such an absurd and disrespectful experience. On January 23rd at 2:20 p.m., after we paid the bill by card, the waitress (who had her hair tied back) literally threw the receipt on the table. She completely shocked us with angry looks and an aggressive attitude. The reason for this behavior could either be that we didn't tip or it was pure discrimination. We only had fish soup (made from seafood and mackerel – fish soup with mackerel? Totally tasteless!) and tap water. Additionally, they charged €2.80 for a glass of water that clearly came from the tap. I asked to speak to the manager or someone in charge but was told there was no one in charge today. If you don't manage your employees, such behavior will only embarrass you in the center of Hamburg. I looked at the general reviews and realized we weren't the only ones; This team has apparently often attracted negative attention. What right do you have to treat your customers – nay, people in general – like this? I absolutely cannot recommend this place. Whatever you do, don't go and stay away!

Cool restaurant 😂 Gastro & SB. They came just in time. Then it was packed. Food is made fresh. It's very good. Large selection, prices are okay. Service very friendly, on both sides. We decided on self-service, but still got space. I can highly recommend it. When I'm back, I'll come back 😍

So the food is delicious, as I (75) have known it since my childhood. Plus the traditional barrel shower. Prices appropriate for the location. Ambience funny and rustic. Service: well, a mistake when paying, which could have been expensive for me, was corrected without apology. I didn't like that at all.

We ordered fried fish platters with fried potatoes twice and were disappointed with what we got. The breading on the fish was very greasy. The fried potatoes had no taste and were also greasy. You should take more time when preparing the food. Price/performance doesn't match. We've eaten better at Wischer's. The service was very nice and accommodating.

Food very good, again and again!!

Best Fish & Chips I have recently had. Friendly service. Going back for sure.

I love this establishment. If you are looking for a quick and tasty place to eat, this is the place for you. Fish and potatoes are quickly prepared here. I like to eat on the terrace with a view of the Rathaus in the summer.

I'm from Hamburg and have always been there about twice a month for lunch when things have to be done quickly. There are 2 areas, at the front a snack style without service and at the back, a larger restaurant-like area. Snack quality okay but way too expensive, fries mostly small and squishy. Staff often disinterested and disinterested. The rear area is a little nicer but significantly more expensive. There are better shops in the area for the money, but the tourists seem to be enthusiastic.

The food was excellent. Fried fish plate and barrel shower, classics. The staff was super nice and the dog was allowed in and was even petted afterwards. One star deducted for the ambience because it is very narrow. Otherwise nothing to complain about.

When we are in Hamburg, it is always our first stop for delicious fried fish! Nice, courteous service and great quality of the food, keep it up 👍 We'll be happy to come back

Everything is great. Gladly again and again.

Delicious food and very friendly staff. A combination of snack bar and restaurant. There is also takeaway food available. The focus is clearly on the fish dishes. Overall, a well-rounded affair and a good place to eat fish in Hamburg.

The tastiest fish dishes in Hamburg far and wide... And at acceptable prices!!! Nice and friendly service!!! Whenever I have the chance, I eat there...

The prices are relatively affordable (the takeaway section is more affordable) and the flavors were very good. We tried the calamari and fish plate and liked them very much.

Fish is always possible! Since I was a child at Daniel Wischer's - everything here is delicious, including Fassbrause. A good start into the new year!

Fish soup was one of the best soups I've ever had; We went two days in a row and started the day by drinking fish soup. It contained fish, shrimp, squid, clams. It was truly magnificent. I also recommend you to eat Hamburg style Pannfisch and potato salad. The grilled shrimp was also cooked very well, I think you should try that too. Also, their baguette bread is amazing.

The fish soup at Daniel Witcher in Hamburg is absolutely amazing! 🐟 The taste was truly amazing and a must-try taste. Fish and Chips is also just right, the portion is quite large, you can easily share it with two people. 🍟✨ If you love seafood, this place is definitely worth a visit!

I still think back wistfully to the shop on Spitaler Straße. Luckily the original still exists. The new shop on the Rathausmarkt has become a permanent destination for me when I attend events on the Rathausmarkt or go for a stroll in Hamburg. The modernized recipes at fair prices and the new barrel brew fully meet the expectations of a lifelong regular customer. If fish and chips were served with mushy peas and gravy and gravy, everything would be even more perfect! Thank you for all the love you give!

Bad service, long waiting times, food was delivered incorrectly

I’ve ordered fish soup and fish plate both were delicious.

Fish dishes very tasty and quick service

We had a fish cake and a fried fish in a roll, both of which were extremely tasty. The staff is very nice and really helpful.

Food is great! Fresh, fast and nice service! A bit noisy, otherwise the ambience is also great.

The food is very good, the fish is very well fried and marinated.

As always, very well attended and still served quickly and friendly

Unfortunately, the receptionist is, to say the least... very unfriendly

A good place to have a grilled fish, but the potato salad was not good.

The restaurant is separated into dine-in area and fast food area. Fish soup is too salty, the fried fish is standard, the fish cake is average.

Daniel Wischer (fish specialties) restaurant is located on Große Johannisstrasse in Hamburg. Service was uncomplicated and friendly, we got a seat without a reservation. It was clean and toilets are available upstairs. The food came quickly and was delicious. I can recommend the pan fish with rosemary potatoes and mustard sauce. Price/performance top. Thank you very much.

Es liegt gegenüber dem Rathaus. Die Fischsuppe und Krabrollen sind lecker. Es nicht teuer und Ich werde beim den Ort züruck wenn Ich in Hamburg fahre.

The food was of the highest quality and was brought to the table quickly after ordering. The service person Louisa [last name redacted] served us extremely friendly and quickly. Definitely a restaurant visit that we will repeat on our next HH visit!

The fish soup is so seafoody yummy n nice on cold weather days. It's not only fish..more a seafood soup. Recommended.

We were tourists in Hamburg for a few days, and of course eating fish was part of it for us. First at the town hall square (very nice and very good, prices for fresh fish absolutely okay, quality very good! The next day in the fast food restaurant, the ambience was old but there was also great quality and also highly recommended. If you're in Hamburg is a MUST!

Very nice restaurant Price-performance okay, super friendly staff, the fish soup is so tasty even for people who don't like soup

Great, always very good over the years. It's nice that Daniel Wischer exists.

Got a table without a reservation, Friday lunchtime. It was very well attended. We were served quickly and friendly. The fish was very tasty. We would come back at any time.

Nice fish restaurant. All the expected classics can be found on the menu. Quality and taste are excellent. The service is always very attentive and friendly. The fish sandwiches are also very good.

The service was good although a little hasty, and unfortunately I found the way in which the tip was asked for when paying the bill a bit insistent. I understand that it's a matter of different habits but I would much prefer to have the tip already calculated as a percentage and just pay. That said, very good food, really, worth a visit. High prices, small portions. Positive experience overall.

Very nice and clean shop with delicious food and friendly service

Rustic furnishings, great service, warm welcome Food 1a, prices okay, large portions If I'm in Hamburg again, I'd love to come back Can't understand the negative reviews

Always busy and very lively atmosphere. Delicious food and super friendly staff. You should definitely make a reservation here. I would like to go there again.

Absolutely snotty service, there were three of us and we wanted a specific table, which was free. But not possible. I wanted to order a fish sandwich and eat it at the table. Not possible either. Insanely bad service. Then we left again. We were there the day before. Everything was fine there.

Favorite place. As always wonderful

Everything was very good except for the very tight seating arrangement.

Food tastes great, you definitely have to try it in this restaurant. Waiters are super nice too.

We came for the first time and liked it very much. We cooked the right dishes, especially with the guidance of Ms. Mina. Thanks

It used to be very nice and pleasant... Can no longer be recommended. Bought food at the entrance, everything was full at the front, but you're still not allowed to sit down at the back... Because you bought it in the "Bistro". Idiotic, narrow-minded regulation. Not particularly hospitable. And you don't find out at the entrance that you can only pay in cash, but when you pay

If you're looking for a really decent fish restaurant in the center of HH and don't mind crowds, this is the place for you! The many extremely good reviews distort expectations and ultimately reduce the consistently good performance in the middle of the hustle and bustle of HH with many tourists and guests from the surrounding offices/stores. So it's understandable that the seating in the relatively small restaurant is a bit cramped. But the cuisine is good, especially the fish soup. The portions are again quite manageable, e.g. pan fish = 2 pieces of fish, served on a small (!) plate. Price-enjoyment ratio for HH melting pots is okay. The service is usually quite quick and attentive. The toilets are on the 1st floor, so not easily accessible for some people. Conclusion, try it out, according to the motto: Eat fish, then you stay healthy & fresh ;)

Wanted to try Labskaus as my friends who are from Hamburg said it was a must try. O M G! Amazing. The fish soup was also incredible could eat that everyday! My husband had the 3 fried fish platter and said it was also delicious! Service was great and I can't wait to come back for more soup!

C'est correct sans plus. Service efficace, aimable et rapide. Bon rapport qualité prix. Très proprre et soigné. Bonne bière.

We were very disappointed. The pan fish was dry, the rösti tasted like frozen and fatty. The fried potatoes were good. Unfortunately there were only 200ml drinks apart from water and beer. The waitresses were fake friendly. However, what shocked, touched and angered us the most was something else. An older, unkempt gentleman who didn't smell very good came into the restaurant. First he was seated at a table. When the gentleman looked at the menu for a while and wanted to order, one of the waitresses asked him to leave because he didn't smell good. Surely there would have been another option.

Solid fish restaurant with quick service

The best fish sandwich in Hamburg...

We wanted to eat comfortably and got a table straight away. The service was very friendly. The food was brought quickly. It looked good and tasted good. When I was in the toilet and I looked into the kitchen, I was horrified. If I had seen the condition of the kitchen before ordering, I would have left immediately. Unfortunately, the nasty surprise came later. We both got stomach cramps and couldn't tolerate the food. Our health was very bad. I would never eat in this restaurant again. I would like the health department to check things here too.

Delicious fish rolls eaten super fresh at the bar table.

A good place with two ordering options: take-out and on-site. There is a takeaway counter where you can choose a dish. The preparation is quick and the prices are cheaper than in the restaurant. Therefore, I recommend this option if someone wants to eat something quickly. The portions in the restaurant are large and filling. The prices are above average.

Best fish & chips in town, very good fish sandwiches, great fish soup with plenty of content! We come back regularly and always happy to!

Food and ambience are good. The staff called me “sweetheart” and called me “sweetheart!”

You can eat great here. Super friendly service. Only recommended.

Simply great! Best fish I've eaten so far. The dishes were ready unexpectedly quickly, the service was friendly and courteous and the quality of the food was really outstanding. Always happy 😋

Had dinner there on a recommendation - well... “Snack bar” in the front area In the rear area Condition / Local. Fish sandwiches were freshly made, very tasty. Fish cake with fries, well, unfortunately the meatball wasn't my taste in terms of spices - but it's all a matter of taste. Fries too dry. Remoulade is great Fried fish ok... All in all, unfortunately expected more. The price is also a bit more expensive... I found it very negative that you had to pay to use the toilets...

Ambience was nice, service was very nice. The food didn't blow us away. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't a meal that would make us say, "Wow, we haven't eaten something so delicious in a long time." We found the food far too expensive for the little fish we had. Potato salad was no better than at home, fried potatoes were ok. I don't understand the hype, but I don't have to. Fortunately, tastes are different.

Traditional house when it comes to fish. Delicious, fresh and light fish dishes in a very nice atmosphere. Friendly and quick service.

I always have a bit of a teary eye here, I know DW from the 70s, where you paid 8 or 9 DM for the golden perch fillet with potato salad. Different times now and DW has of course moved with the times. But: the classics are still there and the ambience is of course chic and the service is (still) on point. In terms of price, of course, it's now in a different league, but it's always worth a visit.

Need to wait for ordering To be honest, fish soup is like drinking from a can A lot of fish The French bread is crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It’s pretty good.

Best fish and chips. Backfisch with potato salad was amazing! Love this place

When visiting Hamburg, I personally think a visit to a fish restaurant should not be missed. We came across this restaurant by chance. We ordered a fish soup as a starter and I tell you, you MUST try it. For the main course there was fried fish with remoulade and potato salad. Everything tasted great. . The price-performance ratio was very suitable. The staff was super friendly and very attentive. We'd love to come back.

Small fish soup, full of fish. Extra tasty.

Well-attended restaurant. We had three types of fried fish. Delicious. The service was friendly and quick. A restaurant with a long tradition. We'd love to come back.

Too expensive for 1 matjes with greens and a hint of fried potatoes.

I had a delicious salad with pieces of pollock. Service was friendly, delivery was quick and the food was delicious.

Delicious crab rolls at a fair price

One of the best fish restaurant in Hamburg
