Fodor's Expert Review Tafelhaus

This airy gourmet restaurant has stunning views of the Hamburg harbor from its bay windows and serves some of the best food in town. Chef Christian Rach creates innovative German cuisine with Italian and French touches; the menu has light "summer" standards (featured throughout the year, though) and a changing set of imaginative dishes, mostly seafood (pike, perch, salmon, oysters) and traditional German meat dishes.
