8.Fish bun for breakfast











Admittedly, the fish market is not a breakfast café. But it should not be missing from our list of unusual breakfasts. Early Sunday breakfasts in Hamburg are served at the fish market. Early in the morning, night owls and early birds meet here. In the middle of the market you can get hot coffee, tasty fish buns and sweet Franzbrötchen. For visitors to the metropolis on the Elbe, a visit to the fish market is an unforgettable experience; for Hamburgers it is the classic Sunday ritual.
