Fischereihafen Restaurant in Hamburg

Beautiful traditional piece of Hamburg.

I love this restaurant! Food, service and ambience are a one star

A visit to this restaurant is truly an experience. From the reception to the great bar to the outstanding food, everything is perfect. The service is exemplary, the atmosphere is very special. It's a shame that I don't live in Hamburg...

Excellent card with the best products. Very good wine advice. Always my pleasure...

Highly recommended!!! Very nice service!!!

We had dinner here with friends in the evening and were thrilled. The food was spectacularly delicious and the service was very accommodating - our condition was very young and new and it was great. As a starter we had the fishing port plate with all sorts of cold starters, two fresh and tasty Fines De Claire oysters and the bouillabaisse, which for us was more of a “normal fish soup”, but still very tasty. For the main course, the two of us shared turbot with spinach and mashed potatoes and received it directly on two plates (at no extra charge), which surprised us very positively. We had a wonderful seat by the window, which made the atmosphere perfect. The only point of criticism was a large bottle of water that was on the bill without us having it - unfortunately we didn't notice that until the next day, which led to almost €10 more in expenses (annoying, but also our mistake.) A All around successful evening in a great atmosphere and with excellent food, we would definitely come back!

Great fish restaurant, awesome staff, old school but fun atmosphere. Have to try the sole

As always, the finest fish dishes

Hamburg, the gateway to the world. Port, container ships and a restaurant like no other. Kowalke has been solid for decades, fine and special cuisine, great service that makes you feel good. Kind regards, a classmate from Burg Nordeck.

I was there at Friday Evening, there was much people .Oysters was pretty well and fresh.My boyfrend ordered Sushi, they was not bad.Service is very good.Big Choice of Wines.

A staple in Hamburg. It is a seafood restaurant with limited non seafood options. That being said. The sushi starters were amazing. The service was top notch. The atmosphere was very lively. The place has a lot of charm.

The special place in Hamburg to enjoy excellent fish. The crew is always attentive and focused on the guest, a piece of Hamburg at its best. Update 10/24 Still the special place for me in Hamburg. In my opinion, the restaurant now plays in a price league that was not consistently reflected on the plates.

Because we were a large group, we had a separate room. The food was excellent. Friendly attentive service And quickly.

You definitely have to reserve a table at the Fischerhafen Restaurant in Hamburg! The service was highly professional and the food was simply first class. I particularly liked the lobster soup. There were two of us and we were able to spend a very romantic evening here. It's a shame that I didn't take more photos as I was more focused on the culinary delights. A big thank you for this lovely evening! Regarding the price point: It's upscale, but the quality definitely justifies the cost.

In my opinion, the service was a bit rustic and "clumsy". The spoon for the appetizer was thrown down, the fork fell on our pants when it was cleared away and we were allowed to pick it up from the floor and hand it over. Our starter first went to the neighboring table and if we hadn't stirred it would have gone back - those were the not so nice things of the evening. My starter of ginger soup with garnish was very, very good - I would have had a second helping. Main course salmon on kale with potatoes and a mustard sauce. The salmon was almost a bit dry for me, but tasted very tasty in combination with the kale and the mustard sauce. The dessert was again very, very good. Summary: we felt very comfortable, but last year the whole package was still down.

The hammer! Old style perfect fish dishes!

I arrived in Hamburg for the first time yesterday. Yes the weather isn't great, but the food is excellent. The two of us were here yesterday. Such a great waiter served us so professionally. I wanted to find his name on the website, but unfortunately there was no information. He would have bard, very nice smile, and a bald head. First we tried different types of oysters, then came soup. An Ingwa soup with scampi and a soup with lobster. We were so surprised at the portions but they were so concentrated and very filling. After the soup we were already full, but decided to order the main course. It was such a variety of flavors. The prawns were very fresh and tasty, the salmon was also very tender and tasty. It was simply an unforgettable evening. The food exceeded all of our expectations. The restaurant will now always remain in my heart and thoughts. If I come to Hamburg again, I'll definitely visit it ❤️

A restaurant in a class of its own. A Hamburg institution. Very, very, very tasty food with a great view over the harbor. It's a joy how wishes and little extras are handled. Namely, completely problem-free. Even the car would be reparked if the situation required it. Reservation essential!!! Our table attendant (the word waiter doesn't fit here) was perhaps a touch too friendly. Sorry for a bit of excessive politeness. At least that's how I felt. We'll definitely be back!!! Because the foamed lobster soup is addictive. Thank you Mr Kowalke. Thank you Ms. Carell. Thanks to the ENTIRE (!!!) team. It was such a beautiful experience. And -----> So delicious!!!!!!!!

During my visit to Berlin, I felt like they were my family. I loved this city very much. I hope to have friends from there. 😌 As for the restaurant, after my trip at sea, I was very hungry and we entered by chance. The food was very delicious. I love fish in all its forms.

We really enjoyed it! Big recommendation from me 👄🙏

Man muss auch mal Glück haben Geschäftsessen, Ingwersuppe bestellt - gut, danach Seezunge als Hauptgericht. Diese sehr salzig zubereitet, dem Kellner mitgeteilt. Antwort: Man muss auch mal mal Glück haben. Keine weitere Reaktion. Beim Abräumen oh hat es ihnen nicht geschmeckt, sie haben nicht aufgegessen - vom anderen Kellner.

A really great restaurant, the food was excellent. Can only be recommended.

Yes, I like that very much!!! As soon as you enter, when you go up the stairs, you can feel the tradition of this restaurant. And at the latest when you enter the venerable restaurant, you know that these enchanting places with so much charisma still exist. Some may call it “old school,” but I love it and am grateful for it. Here the waiter comes to the table as a personality, properly dressed and not in a polo and jogging pants. Thanks for that. For my taste, the ambience is timelessly elegant and would fit in any major city in the western world. Of course, the wine list is very well sorted and the menu also offers something for every taste. Everyone should be aware that the focus is on fresh fish dishes. All of the dishes were very well-crafted, without surprising us with the big aha effect. I would particularly like to highlight the lobster fricassee. That was really excellent. Hamburg really offers a lot of exciting things, but a visit here is definitely worth it.

Wir haben an der Bar mit einem Espresso-Martini begonnen, da wir ein wenig zu früh waren. Schöner Einstieg in den Abend. Später dann das Abendessen bei wirklich leckerem Essen, Service sehr freundlich und schnell.

I've eaten there several times now and have never been disappointed. Both nice and organized (and attentive) service, as well as delicious food. Especially if you're a fish fan, you'll get your money's worth here in the cozy and very high quality. Conclusion: recommended

Am 06.11.2024 war ich einmal wieder mit Freunden im Fischereihafen Restaurant. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich und Kompetent. Die Getränke und Speisen waren, wie immer, ausgezeichnet, sehr gut gekocht und sehr schön angerichtet. Das Hummerfrikassee, die irischen Felsenaustern und natürlich auch die Seezunge sowie die Rote Grütze und die Creme Brülee sind sehr zu empfehlen. Die Getränke haben das Abendessen und den Abend wunderbar abgerundet. Ich bin immer einmal wieder innerhalb von ca. 45 Jahren im Fischereihafen Restaurant gewesen. Die Qualität und das Angebot waren stets vorzüglich und hat auch meine Gäste sehr überzeugt. Ich komme mit Sicherheit sehr gern wieder. Bis dahin - vielen Dank für diesen schönen und unvergesslichen Abend. Manfred Ziegler

High quality food comes at a price. You don't regret it if you're willing to spend a little more on food for a special occasion. Above average in terms of appearance and taste. Cozy maritime atmosphere. Staff friendly, attentive but not intrusive. Reservation is necessary!

As always, it was super tasty in a great and, above all, super nice atmosphere with a view of the water. It couldn't be better.

The restaurant has such a beautiful maritime atmosphere, the service is courteous and so friendly, simply correct but relaxed. The dishes are outstanding, simply second to none. And everything at lunchtime is not expensive… We are always thrilled 🤩

There were four of us there. Fish dishes okay, my wife's schnitzel was too salty. The service, with one exception, was inattentive and sometimes arrogant. The wine bottle, which was kept 4 m away, was only poured after repeated requests. The prices are not appropriate for the service. I remember it much better from before. Is this traditional restaurant becoming a tourist trap and wannabe chic restaurant? Too bad!

The best fish restaurant in all of Northern Germany. Uniquely good food.

Iconic and great. A must in Hamburg.

Wir haben einen tollen Abend mit herrlichen Fischspezialitäten genossen. Ein grosser Tisch (wir waren 12 Personen) und freundlicher Service. Alles hat bestens geklappt, ein schönes Erlebnis. Sehr zu empfehlen.

A perfect evening! Super delicious food, friendly and courteous service and a stylish ambience.

We spent another enchanting evening and nothing was left to be desired.

Die Fischgerichte sind ausgezeichnet. Die Gerichte waren frisch und von der Portionsgröße gut. Wir hatten zudem einen Fensterplatz und konnten sehen wie es Ebbe in der Elbe wurde. Parkplätze sind auch vorhanden.

People seem to be firstly taken with the ambience or history of the restaurant which was quite nice but in terms of food and service it was very underwhelming. We waited half an hour to be seated despite having made a reservation and when we spoke with one of the head waiters about it he retorted that the people who came after us absolutely did not get served first. I know Germany isn’t known for customer service but you do expect a bit more in a place like this. Service was not great from there, followed by very mediocre food. Safe to say I won’t be recommending this place to any real foodies.

institution! Keep it up! Great overall experience! Incredibly good service! Thanks

A restaurant that impresses with its service. Nothing is missing to feel good. Of course there is also very tasty food. All around great!

Top. 2 days in a row speak a clear language.

Superb fish restaurant in Hamburg, sea view, excellent quality. Mainly fish dishes but also local dishes and traditional to fancy ones. Excellent wine card and sommeliers. Separate rooms available for private parties. We booked a room in 2021 for 15 people - GREAT evening. Few weeks back we checked the quality again - nothing to complain - just superb service and quality. One of the best restaurants in Hamburg. Reasonable price.

Atmosphere, ambience, fine cuisine, tasty dishes, friendly welcome. Value for money, a little above average, but definitely not overpriced.

Fantastic cozy place and super good food. Service very friendly. We had a table with a view of the water, fantastic experience

Simply TOP! Very nice welcome, great attentive service and very tasty dishes. A big compliment to the entire team. I'll definitely be back.

Always magical. Good food, interesting wine accompaniment with good advice. Charming service. In summer the outdoor terrace is highly recommended. Airy, relaxed, good view - and the good cuisine from the Kowalke family and team - great, always happy October 2024: the price/performance ratio has changed to 'ambitious' in my opinion

My favourite restaurant in Hamburg. Fine dining at its best. An amazing venue. Beautiful views overlooking the harbour. Best food. Fresh ingredients. Professional waiters. Booking is essential.

Good food, great service, cozy atmosphere.

Classy restaurant. Fine dining. Great food, attentive service. Room temperature a bit too warm for my liking. Quality has its price. See photo of menu.

Instead of the tonic water from Schweppes, I would have liked something better quality, such as from Thomas Henry. Otherwise a 10/10

Basically, I really enjoy going to the Fischerhafen Restaurant. The lunch menu is a good arrangement, even for the weekend. However, the service was unfortunately not good this time. We waited over an hour for the food, the soup bowl of the starter wasn't cleared away and we had to ask if we had been forgotten. There was no response either. A main course was served incorrectly and after the meal we were brought the bill even though we hadn't asked for it yet. Unfortunately it was uncomfortable this time. But the food was good.

An excellent restaurant. Ambience, service and food absolutely top class.

First-class restaurant with typical Hamburg charm, excellent culinary delights and super-friendly and professional staff that is rarely found 🥰 It was a highlight of our short trip to Hamburg that is second to none🫠

We felt very comfortable and the food was fantastic!

Great atmosphere, very good waiter/waitress and delicious food. The Fishing Harbor Restaurant has definitely lived up to its reputation. We were impressed by the food in all three courses. The employees were consistently friendly and attentive, even if everything didn't go smoothly, they knew how to deal with it. The price/performance ratio is at the upper limit for me, even though I am aware that the cost of goods and personnel costs have increased in recent years, the prices on the menu are already high.

Simply formidable – the French would say!!

I and my companion didn't like it. My starter was clearly a convenient food. The waiter was smug and unfriendly. I went home hungry. Thanks for nothing and goodbye.

Perfect lunch – fresh fish at its best! We were here for lunch and loved it. My tuna steak was tender and cooked to perfection, while my husband's salmon fillet was simply outstanding. Both dishes were fresh, juicy and full of flavor. Friendly service and a cozy atmosphere rounded off the visit. Highly recommended!

It is often described as old-fashioned, but I call it more Hanseatic conservative, the way the Fischerhafen Restaurant presents itself. BUT: the cuisine is not at all stale, I was very positively surprised by what was served to us: chapeau! The volume in the restaurant was a bit out of place, but that can neither be blamed on the restaurant nor on the extremely courteous service. Gladly again!

Four of us traveled from Switzerland and made reservations about 6 months ago! Our anticipation and enthusiasm were exceeded! Starters: oysters, sushi and rennet; Main courses: earthenware and plaice! Desserts: Red fruit jelly (2×)! It was a visual and taste highlight, even for spoiled Swiss palates! Price-performance ratio: appealing and absolutely justified! Repeat at any time when we are in Hamburg or the surrounding area! Many thanks to everyone responsible! Carlo Brunner and Werner Niedzwicki

Absolutely perfect… everything from the service, food and the ambience to the drive home… Thank you for a great evening

Super Lokal. Super essen. Service nicht zu uebertreffen. Chef selbst richtig aufmerksam und zuvorkommend. Einfach klasse. 👍👍🍾

Great restaurant. Service can't be beat. Boss accommodating. Everything is just great. I haven't experienced anything like this in a restaurant for a long time. Simply top. How were 2 couples from Luxembourg.

Matjes tartar was so delicious!

Very good lunch menu, great service and a beautiful view of the harbor. Good wine selection. Always happy.

Very nice view, good food, prices are very good. I wouldn't have expected this Amjede. I can only recommend it.

The restaurant bears witness to the old Hanseatic splendor around the former fish market. Located directly on the dockland (ferry pier) at the former fish market in Altona, the fishing port offers quality that is second to none. The food alone is in a class of its own, but the service and the team are also very attentive and helpful at all times. This always makes the visit something special. Everything is just right here. Anyone who values ​​good quality, service and great cuisine has come to the right place. The restaurant's interior is also incredibly comfortable. A pearl in Hamburg with tradition.

Celebrated my father's birthday there at lunchtime and he was full of anticipation... unfortunately you had to go upstairs first to call someone who could operate the stair lift, then there was probably a misunderstanding about the table you had booked... We felt a bit “punished” that neighboring tables were served much earlier, even though they came after us….. After about 15 minutes of waiting to take our order, we were served attentively until the end, apart from the fact that we weren't asked whether we would like another dessert or an espresso... The eel bread with herb scrambled eggs we ordered was good, but the scrambled eggs dripped… The Labskaus was also good, but the “final whistle” was missing. However, the cutter plaice with bacon was a disappointment: dry (much too dry)! This is clearly different. Ambiance: nice view of the Elbe, but tables are very close together... It is and remains a HH institution, but during our visit it fell short of expectations...

The pizzas are amazing - great. We'll be back.

Very tasty food and great service.

We were always there in the evenings and were always very enthusiastic. This time we tried the lunch menu and were not disappointed. Nice atmosphere, nice attentive service and very tasty food. The lunch menu is also highly recommended, but it is best to reserve here in advance.

Einige Male im Jahr müssen wir hier essen. Eine Institution mit verlässlich guter Küche und richtig tollem Service. Sogar die anderen Gäste sind so nett, dass man meist noch einen freundlichen Smalltalk über die Tischgrenze bekommt. Wir freuen uns schon aufs nächste Mal.

The food is very delicious. Good atmosphere. Einfach Perfect.

A very nice seafood restaurant with delicious food and very good service. I was there spontaneously for lunch on a Sunday and had the Sunday menu. The food was excellent and I can recommend it at any time. The restaurant is very busy, so it's better to make a reservation in advance, especially if you're a group.

Very nice restaurant in Hamburg. Great quality and friendly and attentive staff. Fish lovers will get their money's worth here. Always my pleasure. Thank you for the great service and good food.

Although it is expensive, it seems customer-oriented to me. They want to offer their guests a special flair and have a considerable number of service staff. In my opinion, a lot of the emphasis here is on the saying “the eye eats with you”. A visit to the terrace at dusk or in the dark is recommended. The bar is well stocked. On the murals you can see which celebrities have already dined in the fishing port restaurant. Meal vouchers are available.

A very special place. The sea bream was very tasty and I can also recommend the creme brulee.

Excellent fish restaurant! We were there with a group of seven people and the food came to everyone at the same time and everything was perfect! Of course, this also has its price, but you can still save a lot during your daily lunch. For a soup with eel first, zander fillet for the main course and a dessert just under €35 is more than fair! So if you don't necessarily have to go out to eat in the evening, you're well advised to come here for lunch. If you don't like fish, there are also alternatives with meat or vegetarian dishes. Otherwise, the view of the Elbe is of course wonderful with the maritime atmosphere in the restaurant. Highly recommended!

As soon as we entered the restaurant we felt welcome. This service character ran through the entire evening. Whether it's a wine recommendation or a friendly chat - the service is outstanding! Thank you very much for your almost loving support on Thursday evening. Of course, the food was also excellent! The lobster soup is probably not only our waiter's favorite appetizer, but also mine. Turbot and monkfish are also highly recommended. We will definitely be guests at the Fischerhafen Restaurant on our next trip to Hamburg.

A very nice evening in the fishing port restaurant with exclusive food and very nice service!! Absolutely recommended!

Great as always! The plaice was perfectly prepared!

What an achievement! Whenever I had lunch or dinner at the Fischereihafenrestaurant quality of food and service have been outstanding. A great compliment to the Kowalke family and their staff! Ist is always worthwhile to go there.

A very well-kept restaurant with top cuisine. But you could also add something new to the menu.

This time we sat outside. It was again extremely tasty and the service was very accommodating. Unfortunately, people who smoked sat down right next to us (unfortunately they didn't show any consideration). Every time there was a gust of wind, cigarette smoke wafted over to us, which was very disruptive while we were eating. You might want to consider not allowing smoking there either, or maybe ask the guests not to smoke for that period of time when the waitress sees that that people eat at the next table.

Wonderful...always a classic that's worth it! Thanks to the great team, we had a great evening with excellent food. Everything freshly prepared. 🫶

Traditional, upscale restaurant at the harbor with partial views of the Elbe. If you're a fish freak, you'll get your money's worth here. Reservation is absolutely recommended.

The food is standard. Nothing special, but the prices are off the charts. There is one very elderly audience all around. Zero positive The meter only responds to the wishes of the local Blatta 😄

Weiterhin die Fisch-Institution in Hamburg, alle anderen stehen hinten an! Juli 2024 • Freunde Hier wissen Stammgäste über Familien-Generationen zu schätzen, was diese besondere Klasse ausmacht. Hier stimmt die charmante Begrüßung, die freundliche Tischbegleitung und natürlich einhergehend der Service nebst Beratung. Essen und Getränke weiterhin outstanding u das top Personal sucht eh heutzutage seinesgleichen. Hier passt einfach alles, auf weiter minimum gut 40 Jahre!!

Great ambience, courteous service and delicious food. Upon request, all dishes were prepared gluten-free. An absolute recommendation.

We were there at lunchtime. Everything fit. However, parking is a matter of luck.

Well established and very professionally run restaurant in Hamburg. An institution since many decades with a very warm and charming interior. Flawless, attentive and friendly service with food of exceptional quality with a well designed menu which covers all prices and options. We had the most famous dish of Hamburg the Labskaus, wich used to be food made for seafarers, basically corned beef, potatoes, red beets topped with fried egg and pickled herring. Doesn’t sound or maybe even look that appetizing but it was a very good labskaus - highly recommended! Appetizer Aal Sülze (Eel Aspik) which had a beautiful texture & great fresh flavour.

Lieblos zubereitet: Toral trockener Fisch, Sauce schmeckte wie ein Convenience Fertigprodukt. Scampis aus der Friteuse.

From A to Z everything was great.

We had a herring menu and everything was excellent.

A good opportunity to invite friends here again for an excellent meal on the occasion of my birthday and to enjoy the extremely friendly and attentive service, thank you very much. Also the friendly welcome from Mr. Kowalke. The fishing port restaurant in Hamburg is great in terms of the ambience and the location on the Elbe with a view of the harbor (see video), plus the usual top quality of the food on offer. A visit is always an experience. For me, an absolute must is the eel on scrambled eggs on baked brown bread. Of course, the service staff is also very friendly and very attentive. Of course, the price level is high.

Unfortunately, the service doesn't match the price range of the food, and anyone who isn't a regular guest has to expect less attention from the staff.

A bit snobby. Beautiful view, great food, check out the lunch specials!

A top class restaurant. Great ambience, great service and a fantastic herring menu!

Great food, wonderful ambience and courteous service.

I've never eaten so well in Hamburg. The food is perfectly coordinated with the side dishes. Simply a dream. And the view of the harbor is amazing 👍🏻

It was a pleasure: from the view to the service to the food. Really great!
