<b>Hamburg:</b>

Fish and Seafood:

1. Fischereihafen Restaurant, classic, celebrity institution, slightly formal, top quality seafood, not to fault, not cheap, but very affordable lunch specials, river views.

2. Restaurant Fischmarkt, great presentation, top quality fish, nice ambiance, great service, no views, confusingly not on Fischmarkt Pl., but in a side street near the port next to Gruner+Jahr publishing house, near St. Michael's, good wine list (try the Schloss Vollrads Riesling, crisp, dry, good), show kitchen.

Sushi and Cross-Over:

Henssler & Henssler, excellent Sushi and other cross-over dishes, stylish environment in a former fish warehouse on Fischmarkt, no view, loud, but intimacy through noise.

Upscale:

1. Poletto, delicious Italian influenced Michelin starred cuisine carefully prepared by aspiring young chef Cornelia Poletto in an inconspicuous building in the nice residential neighbourhood of Eppendorf with a pleasant atmosphere, not cheap.

2. Jacobs Restaurant, in Blankenese, a bit away from the city, Thomas Martin has been receiving rave reviews over recent years and deservedly so. French influenced, classic cuisine executed to perfection, extensive wine list, formal, not cheap and unfortunately the portions leave me slightly hungry sometimes. Beautiful river views and a graet lime tree terrace, painted by German impressionist Max Liebermann.

3. Landhaus Scherrer, Heinz Wehmann has been on top of his game for 30 years, serving local cuisine with a light and sometimes French touch, very good, not cheap, formal, less expensive and less formal bistro also very good, no view as unfortunately on the wrong side of posh Elbchaussee.

4. Suellberg (7 Seas or Bistro), slightly further down the river than Jacobs (so quite a bit from the city center), revived by Karl-Heinz-Hauser (former chef at the Adlon in Berlin and also working for Trump in Florida I believe), 7 Seas is the starred gourmet section, the Bistro is still good, but less ambitious, nice river views.

<b>Lueneburg:</b>

1. Zum Heidkrug, Michelin starred cuisine, some regional dishes, some nice German/Mediterranean combinations in a historic building in town, the best bet in town
http://www.zum-heidkrug.de/

2. Hotel Bergstroem, offers 3 restaurants, thereof 1 with German cuisine, 1 Cafe-style restaurant and 1 Italian, , nice historic building with creek-side location

<b>Celle:</b>

1. Endtenfang, in Hotel Fuerstenhof, classic, German Haute cuisine, highly rated, one of the best in the region, not cheap.

2. Palio, upscale Italian cuisine, sibling of Endtenfang, also in Hotel Fuerstenhof, open kitchen, slightly less expensive than Endtenfang

<b>Berlin:</b>

1. Fischers Fritz, comes highly recommended also by fellow Fodorite traveller1959, attractively (sensationally) priced lunch menu, in the Regent Hotel on Gendarmenmarkt.

2. People these days tend to love Tim Raue's 2 new highly acclaimed restaurants Ma and Uma at the Adlon, I cannot comment as the style of cuisine is too pretentious for my taste, but you may want to take a look:

3. Borchardt, classic hang-out just off Gendarmenmarkt for politicians, actors, other celebrities and wannabes, but still good cuisine, sometimes a bit arrogant service, but the food, while more down to earth is still good.

4. Ottenthal, no haute cuisine, but for a fix of Austrian cuisine craving still one of the best bets in town, good address if one stays in Western Berlin with its location on Kantstr., not too far from Ku'damm and the nice cafe-lined Savignyplatz, meat is organically sourced

<b>Potsdam:</b>

Friedrich-Wilhelm, part of the Bayrisches Haus Hotel, a bit outside of the center in the game park (deer park, not an arcade), German influenced haute cuisine, good wine list, not cheap, slightly less expensive and more informal, but still good in its Alte Foersterei offspring.

hsv has answered your post thoroughly.

There is nothing much to add.

Maybe, if you are interested in molecular cuisine, there is a good opportunity in Berlin:

It will be an exceptional experience. But, as hsv, wrote, the lunch at Fischers Fritz in Berlin for 39 Euros is a must for every gourmet (I hesitate to recommend it, they may raise the price).

Just had a great lunch at cafe de Paris.
Thanks

For Magdeburg: The restaurant Da Capo in the Maritim Hotel is pretty good.

Even better: "Die Saison" in the Herrenkrug Park Hotel. Gault Millau recommended. Had a fantastic 3-course meal there. The romantic setting adds to the fabulous food.

Very good, too, and modestly priced: Le Cochon, Hegelstrasse 39.

Anyone have similiar feedback for restaurants in Munich?
