Feinkost Hafencity in Hamburg

We stopped here today spontaneously and purely by chance. What can I say: we didn't regret it! Friendly and VERY attentive staff! The fish sandwich was fresh and delicious, and the iced coffee was just as you'd expect, not too sweet. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

They advertise the best fish sandwich in town, and it really is. The sandwich was crispy and thin when warm. Very well-filled and not much more expensive than other places. We also had super delicious fries. It's not a pretentious place. The service seemed a bit disorganized at times, a bit scattered, and could be improved. Nevertheless, friendly and very attentive. We'll be back next time.

I've known this café since 2018 and have always enjoyed eating there – the lunch dishes were always delicious. My experience on June 20, 2025, at 2:20 p.m. was all the more disappointing. When paying, I politely pointed out an error on the receipt. The employee became loud, treated me disrespectfully, and charged incorrect amounts several times without taking my comments seriously. Eventually, I was even banned from the restaurant – for absolutely no reason. The server tried to apologize, but was reprimanded by a colleague right in front of me. This behavior is unacceptable, unprofessional – and, after years of loyal customer service, particularly disappointing for me.

Really good fish sandwiches! And other North German-style dishes. Classic seafood with fries and a delicious, surely homemade remoulade. Down-to-earth cuisine, no frills. The appetizers are also highly recommended. Only a 5-8 minute walk from the Elphi, practically a real insider tip.

Great portions, fair price and excellent outdoor area. We had the breaded fish sandwich and the chicken schnitzel, amazing flavor and size.

The food was fantastic and the service extremely attentive. They asked us throughout our meal if everything was to our satisfaction. Afterward, there was light conversation. We haven't experienced that in years. We'd love to come back when we're back in town.

Very fast, good quality food, happy to assist with dietary restrictions :)

If we could give 10 stars, we would! The four of us from the Eifel region would love to come back 👍

We were there for dinner today. The fried fish with homemade potato salad and homemade remoulade was super fresh and delicious. The homemade cakes were also all better than the last. The two brothers serving the food were very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!!!

Pleasant service, large selection of dishes. The food arrived quickly and tasted good. It’s a pay first, sit after type of service, but they bring the food to your table.

Amazing experience and really tasty food

Very good fish sandwiches (especially the bread!) and super friendly staff 🥖😊

The best fish sandwich (matjes) I've ever eaten in my life! Fantastic!

We were very satisfied with the food. We also thought the price was reasonable. We can only recommend it; even the very nice staff were friendly and helpful.

I came into work for the week and came across this place and what drew me in was their smiles, cleanliness and English menus. I ordered a beef burger with fries which they served with a curry sauce. Hands down the BEST BURGER EVER! If you’re in Hamburg, it’s a must to come here and try their food

Very friendly and attentive staff, the food was excellent.

The fish sandwich was very good. Unfortunately, the beer keg was empty, so the drinks came after the meal. The beer was warm, so it was chilled with ice cubes, beer on ice. There was no spritzer either... Orders in the beer garden were only taken in the designated area (the front rows). Those further back had to make their own way. What a shame!

The fried fish was very good. Service was okay. The beer was too warm for the price and had ice cubes.

Everything was fine! It wasn't the best fish sandwich in town, though. That's what they advertise. The fried fish was frozen :(

The fried fish sandwich was super delicious, crispy, warm, with remoulade. It came very quickly. Really good, in other words. Ordering is a bit confusing if you're sitting outside. (You have to remember your table, order inside, and then it's brought outside.) But it's pretty simple. Now for the problem: The beer keg was empty. The waitress said it would take about 15 minutes and it would have to be replaced. We waited longer for the beer. The waitress put ice in the beer herself because the new keg was still warm, of course. There was no carbonation in the beer either. We were then given a new one, warm and without ice. The service was generally friendly, but the price-performance ratio wasn't right in this case. Training is needed here.

Great shop and incredibly friendly service!

The food is delicious, with a huge selection! Top-notch service and a very friendly welcome. The atmosphere is very nice and you feel at home. I personally recommend this place.

It was really nice. The food was delicious and the service was super friendly.

We were walking along the promenade and saw a sign saying "Best Fish Sandwiches." As tourists, we obviously had to stop by. And we weren't disappointed! Truly delicious fish sandwiches and other really good dishes, too. The service was absolutely top-notch; everything was top-notch! A fantastic first experience in Hamburg.

amazing food (fischbrötchen), very kind people. definitely would come again

While strolling along Sandtorhafen, we saw a list with the phrase "Best fish sandwich in Hamburg," and out of curiosity, we spontaneously decided to try it. The Bismarck sandwich and fried fish sandwich were truly delicious and reasonably priced, too. From the waiter to the manager, everyone was very friendly. It was a truly enjoyable experience for us.

Highly recommended! The best fish sandwiches we've had in days!

We were a little late for an event at the Elbphilharmonie. But you saved the day: friendly, fast, and delicious. I highly recommend the fish sandwich and fries. The remoulade that goes with the fries is homemade and amazing. Thank you!

I had a salmon baguette and cake. Both flawless - the cake like “Mothers”. Very nice and courteous yet unobtrusive service in a quiet atmosphere. I will come back. Thank you very much - it was a pleasure

Full recommendation 👍 We were there for lunch on May 3rd, 2025: - super nice reception and service - large portions and super tasty - If you requested you could also get a half portion, even that was large - crispy schnitzel, delicious fried potatoes, great side dishes When we are back in HH, we would like to come back. A table is reserved for us at any time - promise from the great employee 😉 Thank you 🤘

Everything very fine and fresh. Service very friendly

Very friendly team - even after work!!!

We had an excellent meal here yesterday, so we ended up here again today. Yesterday fried fish and poultry. You had to pay an extra charge of €3 for fries, so it was left with boiled potatoes. The color and taste was strange, unfortunately not freshly prepared. At €19.50 that should be fine. Today we tried the currywurst with homemade sauce. On the table after 5 minutes! Everything except the fries was COLD, went back to normal, now it was lukewarm. Tip the normal size 1.5 sausage, large = 2 sausages. Too bad, not here anymore.

The currywurst is a joke for a large portion of 22 euros, cold sauce, cold sausage complained then the same sausage was fried and came back to the table lukewarm, the sauce too. It's a shame but we won't be back.

The food was very good, especially the own sauces are highly recommended. Only the tartar sauce was pretty tasteless. Unfortunately, the service was very disappointing. When you sit down outside, you can see that there are no tickets available and that orders take place at the counter. The ordering system with numbers and barkers is also a bit annoying and, above all, chaotic. TL:DR: Food very good, service is in your own hands

Food tastes great. Very friendly and courteous service. Very good value for money. We felt very comfortable and welcome.

Great fish sandwiches, cool service, great for snacking in front of the Elphi! We'll be back 😁

Expensive, but really good currywurst The prices are quite high, but the currywurst was really exceptional - I particularly liked the sauce. The sausage itself also tasted great. The staff was ok, nothing special but ok. If you're willing to spend a little more, you'll get a really good currywurst here.

Does it have to be that way? Why does the owner always park in a private underground car park with an absolute no-parking policy? Multiple speeches fade into nothing.

Ultra nice, basketball was being played next door, it was really fun to watch while eating 🤩🤩

The food was very tasty beforehand. Service was mostly friendly. What I would like to suggest for improvement would be for the service to come by at least once and ask if the food was tasty. The location appeared tidy and clean. Maybe it's because the restaurant just opened recently. We'd love to come back.

We only ate snacks, but they were really good. The avocado bread has a great topping, the cake with raspberries is a dream.

Great homemade cakes and tarts based on grandma's recipes. Very nice.

Nice location and very friendly staff. Only recommended.

Very good address, well served, super good, very welcoming and friendly waiter.

Really delicious food at a fair price. The portions are decently sized and the staff is very accommodating. Any time!!!

By chance we discovered this nice restaurant while walking through Hafencity. The pan fish was very tasty, we also got extra mustard sauce, the fried potatoes sizzled very tasty in a small cast iron pan, the salad was crispy and fresh! The staff is very friendly and accommodating. Gladly again on the next trip to Hamburg!!

Very nice, tranquil restaurant in Hafencity! Highly recommended because reasonable prices and delicious food...🙋‍♂️

Nice restaurant, good food. And at reasonable prices!

Absolute insider tip. Inexpensive and delicious.

Highly recommended! The fried fish was wonderful! Incredibly nice and courteous service!

Nice staff, delicious cakes and comfortable furniture. Cool view of the Hafen City

The four of us girls ended up in this nice restaurant today by chance! What can I say: direct hit; tasty food at moderate prices, good selection of dishes and very courteous service! I will remember this place positively!

A real highlight in the Hafencity! I went to Feinkost Hafencity with my girlfriend and we were thrilled. I had the North Sea crab roll absolutely fresh, richly topped and seasoned perfectly. My friend tried the Matjes Hausfrauen Art and was just as impressed. You can simply taste the quality and attention to detail. The service was warm, attentive and authentic, you immediately feel welcome. And the location? Right next to the Elbphilharmonie with a view of the water, it couldn't be better. A real culinary experience that we will happily repeat!

Very good food, friendly service

It was a great time I spent at the restaurant with my friends and family. 👌🏽

Great restaurant with a great selection of food and drinks. Both the lunch menu and the evening menu are varied and the food is freshly prepared and tastes very good!

A very nice café in Hafencity with very friendly service. Only recommended for a leisurely stopover or a delicious breakfast.

We have now tried various types of delicious cakes and some of the main courses. The quality is always right and the portions are large. Especially with the large portion of fried fish, you should be very hungry or eat it with two people - see photo. Since we always order take-out, I can only rate the service and ambience to a limited extent, but the staff is always very friendly during the short interactions.

Nice staff and solid food, although the quality always varies slightly from week to week

Very good food. The apple almond cake was to die for. Very friendly staff. Top restaurant

This store is simply great. Every time I'm in HafenCity I have to come here. The food is really delicious - you can just tell that the cooking here is done with love. Especially when the weather is good, the balcony is a real highlight, super cozy! And the team is always friendly and correct. I feel totally comfortable here every time.

That was delicious! Stopped in by chance and was completely surprised. Super tasty, very friendly and courteous service and moderate prices. What more could you want?!

Super tasty and very friendly staff. I'd love to come back.

Both the food and the ambience are first class⭐️

We just had a coffee. But everything looked good. Thank you

Great service, very pleasant atmosphere, delicious food, fair prices. Highly recommended!

Very good food and very nice owners. We felt very comfortable! Highly recommended. Thank you. ☺️

Really good place, good prices and friendly and welcoming staff. There were two of us and we both think the food lacked a bit of spice, but we are aware that we are both big fans of highly spiced food. But apart from that, I would absolutely go back here and enjoy a good meal in beautiful surroundings.

Waren zum Mittagessen dort und haben im oberen Stockwerk gesessen. Unsere Getränke wurden auch dorthin gebracht, aber unsere Speisen kamen nicht. Habe dann nachgefragt und erfahren, dass man nicht wusste wo die Bestellung hin sollte. Bedienung tat es sehr leid und war mega freundlich. Essen kam dann ganz schnell plus ein paar Leckerbissen aufs Haus als Entschuldigung. Omas Senfeier waren superlecker, Pommes prima mit hausgemachtem Ketchup, leckere Dips. Wir würden wieder hingehen.

The food was very tasty. We had a Hamburg salad, a fish roll and the fried fish. All three things are highly recommended. The portions were really plentiful. The service is also very friendly and accommodating.

Lovely staff, great food and queer-friendly

Very friendly staff and Mohamed served us perfectly. The cakes and coffee were really good. Great ambience.

We were served very friendly by Mohamed and advised about the different cakes.

Delicious fried fish rolls, friendly service

Very pretty, amazing cheesecake 💕💕

Fish sandwiches. Mega delicious!

A beautiful and cozy place to have a breakfast. I didn't have a reservation, but they made a space for me. Highly recommended.

Very nice place to start an evening in Hafencity. The service was warm, the food was very tasty and well prepared.

I would give 6 stars ! Wonderful food, great vibe and the owner is so nice !

Great service, delicious cakes, all with an urban flair Nice here Thanks

Food was unappealing. Service was awful, and overall i would not recommend

The food was average at best , very aggressive waiter and high prices , mildly scamish business activities such as leaving drinks on the table and not telling you it costs money , disappointing.

We ate Shakshuka, a fish sandwich with salmon and croissants with homemade jam, super tasty and made with love. Thank you for the hospitality. The welcome champagne is the icing on the cake 🫶

The cake is very tasty and, above all, homemade! And the staff very nice!

Very tasty fish sandwich with friendly service.

Courteous and every wish was fulfilled, the lentil soup was excellent and the greeting from the kitchen was very tasty. Come again

Mega delicious food, great service, very nice and accommodating. And again very, very good food :)))

Good food and service. We had to scan the menu in English. Not fun!

Simply brilliant... sitting in the sun... Super tasty fish sandwiches and the fries with the remoulade are awesome. Thanks

The best cake in Hamburg & very tasty coffee!

Very friendly staff. Fresh preparation of herring rolls with crispy lettuce and fresh carrots as a base on the matjes roll. The Matjes ear is buttery and delicious. The price is very moderate for the size and surface. I can't remember eating such a great herring roll. While I was waiting, I was able to admire the diverse cake counter. Everything made in-house. It's worth stopping there.

Fantastic lunch stitch I love it

Simply great. Food, service and also the ambience. 100% recommendation

Today I went to the Hafencity delicatessen with my family. We had a fried fish with fries, ravioli, a hamburger panfish and the Jägerschnitzel was really delicious and we will come back.

Great at lunchtime, same thing in the evening, but at least a good alternative near the Elbphilharmonie before the concert.

The servers are very nice and welcoming, unfortunately the organization of the service they receive is really not intelligent. In fact, you order and pay at the entrance like in a fast food restaurant.... however it is not "fast" at all. There were two of us. My husband got his dish after 30 minutes...as for my order...well that's when I learned that the dish I had ordered and paid for was no longer available. So I requested a refund because the other dishes did not suit me. Coffee was offered to us. The boss (maybe) offered several times to offer me another dish free of charge to apologize for the inconvenience. It was very kind and commercial of him. However, I had already pecked from my husband's plate. So I didn't accept his offer and simply left when my husband finished his coffee. Apart from that, the place is in my opinion too noisy and poorly organized. In fact, the dishes are not brought to the tables at the same time and some had finished their plate while their friend had not even had his yet. I think it would be appropriate to think of another organization, more traditional, which would prevent guests from eating out of time and especially servers from running around to find out whose plate they have in their hand.... it's a real marathon...

Very tasty, inexpensive and quite good quality, large selection. Who wants huge portions, like me, very tasty fried potato pan with diced bacon, onions with cucumber salad, olives, thank you Sherif Hopi.😃

I was here on Lunch and it was phenomenal. I got Hamburger pannfisch and it was so delicious. The food was great, wait time short, atmosphere was nice and the staff friendly. Very nice visit. Thumbs up👍

A central restaurant near the Elbphillharmonie. Food and service was great. Points deducted because there is only one small toilet for everyone.
