Alt Helgoländer Fischerstube Delicious dishes from sea and river

Modern-traditional fish restaurant in a prime location on Hamburg's fish market. The kitchen team conjures up creative interpretations of true Hamburg classics in a maritime ambiance. Vegetarians also get their money's worth.

Fresh fish in the best location

Can a fish restaurant be better located than in the middle of Hamburg's fish market? We don't think so. But if you think you'll get nothing but sea and river creatures here, you're wrong. Even fish-free delights from the region are on the menu. Here, traditional dishes (mhmmmm Hamburger Pannfisch!) are conjured up with modern influences - and all in a wonderfully maritime ambiance.

Since 1982 the Alt Helgoländer Fischstube is THE epitome of a typical Hamburg fish restaurant. However, the cuisine is by no means limited to regional cuisine. New interpretations of classics with a touch of Asia can also be discovered on the menu.

Maritime atmosphere in stylish premises

Dark furniture, light walls, and maritime decoration - that's more or less how you can imagine the Alt Helgoländer Fischstube. There is room for about 120 guests inside. In summer, the large terrace is a wonderful place to watch the hustle and bustle of the fish market. A real harbor atmosphere.

CITY AREA PORTRAIT Altona & Ottensen

For strolling, having a coffee, taking a walk or having some delicious food – situated directly at the Elbe and traversed by parks, Altona & Ottensen are considered to be charming and diverse districts with character. Brick walls create a rather rough atmosphere in Altona, while it is lively and colourful in Ottensen.
