Probably the smallest gourmet restaurant in Hamburg is run by Arthur Richelmann. The trained chef was primarily known as an actor before devoting himself entirely to Mediterranean cuisine in the "Willamine". With atmospheric candlelight and romantic jazz and soul music, the tiny, somewhat quirky restaurant with just 6 tables is particularly suitable for couples in love with a lovely sense of humour.

The perfect place to enjoy the sunset over Hamburg: The Heritage is located on the 9th floor of Le Méridien Hamburg and offers a unique view over the Outer Alster. The trendy ambience offers a modern interpretation of French cuisine with an Asian twist. Plenty of space between the tables ensures discretion and the opportunity for intimate conversations.

All in white, "Das weisse Haus" exudes a certain wedding flair with Hanseatic charm. Formerly run by Tim Mälzer, the restaurant still serves upscale North German cuisine today. After your meal, take a short walk along the beach to digest your meal. The white house is located directly on the Övelgönne town beach.

In a bright, friendly atmosphere, NDR television chef Tarik Rose serves North German-Mediterranean cuisine in the Engel restaurant. The restaurant's large glass front allows you to watch the ships and enjoy the sunset over the Elbe.

The old pilot house, one of Hamburg's oldest inns, consists of a large, rustic main building and Dock 13, a cosy beach bar and lounge right on the Elbe. Here you can relax in a deckchair with a blanket and a hot punch even on colder days. In the restaurant, guests can enjoy North German cuisine with an international flavour.

The Fischereihafen Restaurant is a top address for fish lovers. Here, guests are greeted by elegantly laid tables and a large glass front with a view of the harbour. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is down-to-earth and anything but aloof. Here you can enjoy a splendid evening for two in an all-round cosy ambience.
