What travelers think of our Hamburg experiences
What you’ll do
Forget all the clichés you’re secretly harboring about German food, and eat your way around Hamburg with one of our local Hamburg hosts who can’t wait to show you that their city’s cuisine is a world away from the sausages, schnitzels, sauerkraut you thought you were in for. In this maritime city, the name of the game is more water-sourced delicacies and all manner of potato delights.
You’ll food crawl (or roll, who are we to say how much you plan on eating) around the bohemian neighborhood of Sternschanze, trying all sorts of delights like franzbrötchen, a cinnamon-infused take on the French croissant, fischbrötchen, a roll filled with the salty North Sea pickled herring and pannfisch, fresh, herby fish in a light mustard sauce.
And like any food experience worth its salt, of course, there’s room for dessert (we’d recommend rote grütze, a red fruit pudding cooked from black and red currants, raspberries or cherries served with vanilla sauce) and time for a tipple like a beer overlooking the River Elbe.
