My people got: some smoked salmon, and some fish and chips. By spying the other tables we also determined that a piece of gooseberry pie with meringue and whipped cream on top was a good idea - none of us had ever had it before - it's kind of like rhubarb, a sweeter, with a hint of nutmeg.

Really pleasant Italian place in Hafencity. OK - it's in the middle of a building site, but that…read morekind of adds to the charm, if you're really into construction, like me. There's also a small basketball pitch if you like a spot of sport with lunch. The river views are good, and if you're really lucky you'll get to see the huge car transporter from here. It's a queue, pay and sit down job, which means you don't have to mess about with the bill afterwards. The pasta bake is top notch and only EUR5.

I think it's also much more charming than getting the mags at the train station anyway. Once I bought some cigars as a present for a friend, who told me they were top notch quality - they better be, for Duske & Duske's range isn't exactly cheap, but the helpful and competent assistance was a great bonus, particularly as I had no clue what I should buy.

So a deduction in star. One of the bartenders was a little gruff with me when I asked if he spoke English and he sluffed me off to another one of the staff that spoke better. (another minus star) I get it I am a tourist, but if more of the staff spoke more English, and you had English menus this place would be a gold-mine. Has all the right ingredients for success, just needs to cater a little more toward tourists.
