Fischereihafen Restaurant

I’ve been going to Fischereihafen Restaurant for decades, and so did my father—he was a regular, visiting multiple times a week without fail. It’s more than just a restaurant to our family; it’s a tradition, a place filled with memories and the kind of consistency that’s hard to find anywhere else. The food is always exceptional—fresh, flavorful, and prepared with a level of care that shows in every bite. Whether it’s their famous fish dishes or the perfectly seasoned sides, every meal feels like a celebration of quality and craftsmanship. The service is simply unparalleled. The staff greets you like family, remembers your preferences, and makes you feel truly welcome from the moment you walk in. It’s that rare combination of elegance, warmth, and professionalism that sets them apart. Fischereihafen isn’t just a restaurant—it’s excellence personified. A true gem that continues to raise the bar, year after year. I wouldn’t dream of going anywhere else.

The food, the wine and the service is all impeccable. We love Hamburg in general, been here several times. But you can’t miss this gem. The waiting staff is very talented in my opinion. We didn’t have to think ourselves for even a moment. Thank you!

We had a wonderful time at Fischereihafen Restaurant. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming. We tried the famous fish soup, and it was absolutely delicious! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, with a great view and a relaxing vibe. Definitely a place to come back to when in Hamburg!

I have no idea what other people are eating when they say "world class"... but that was NOT our experience. Smoked Eel and scrambled egg was a novelty for a non-native and surprisingly, very pleasant. Everything we ate after that was a dissapointment. Staff were pleasant, if somewhat erratic and MIA, which is hard to fathom as there are a LOT of staff on the floor. My wife was really looking forward to a good Sole Meunière - unfortunately, over cooked, (seemingly either shallow or possibly deep fried, but didnt taste like it was done in butter?) the flesh was dry and the whole fish was presented naked, on a bare plate with a jug of what looked and tasted like a mix of hot vegetable oil and (possibly?) butter that she was to "dress" it with... ? Not great value for money at €75. (NB Had my wife insisted that I "not make a fuss" I would have sent both her's and mine back) The North Sea Turbot I had @€69.50 was equally dissapointing. Again it appeared to have been over cooked and possibly deep fried as it had a hard "shell" of flour or a batter of some sort all over it? The flesh inside was tasteless. The "mess" of overcooked vegetables created the final factor in the trifecta of dissapointment that was our €300+ last meal in the beautiful city of Hamburg. We were really excited to finish off our visit to Hamburg on a high note but left without finishing either main dish or the bottle of wine. We left quietly, very dissapointed and unsatisfied from what should have been, by all accounts, a sensational seafood dinner... Who knows, maybe the main chef was off on a Monday Night and they let the apprentice cook our meals?

This was my favourite restaurant in Northern Germany. High quality food, great service and the ambiance proper old school - I love it! The Scholle is so good! Must visit when back in HH!
