Markt Koenig is currently king to me when it comes to schnitzel here in Hamburg. It is a new…read morefavorite of ours for the famous German dish. There are quite a few other German specialties on the menu as well as regional dishes and others. The massive schnitzel is served on a plate of it's own, topped with a fried egg, but also comes complete with a delicious side salad and an excellent serving of bratkartoffeln with specks of onion and bacon. The meal is quite sizable for one person and my wife and I have shared it a few times, while ordering a curry rostbratwurst between us as well. The space here is quite large, a comfortable rustic setting, and ideal for groups. We've also never felt it necessary to make reservations in advance which is nice when you are looking for last-minute good food options.

This is a pretty nice mainly german food restaurant that's taken up party of the market. It is…read morequite large with loads of seating including upstairs. The interior is quite cool, with cool glass balls hanging from the ceiling. I had the koenig platter which consists of fried potatoes, chicken, lamb, beef and a side salad. It isn't called the kings plate for nothing. I absolutely loved the chicken; very soft and well marinated. Absolutely tasty! The lamb and the beef disappointed. Pretty dry; maybe they should add some gravy to them. The salad was tasty too. An interesting thing I noted from a friend who got the veggie burger is that the german veggie burger doesn't have a pattie! This really shocked me but I was told this is pretty common in Germany. Still I find it really hard to accept a burger without a pattie.

Es war offensichtlich, dass alle gut geschult sind und Spaß haben Gastgeber zu sein. Macht weiter so.

Everything was very good, but my favorite items were the potatoes with onions and bacon. I wish that I could find a source for that side dish in the New York area. There are a limited number of tables - but you never feel hurried to leave - we sat for quite some time. Like may restaurants in Hamburg, they do not accept credit cards.

This restaurant is more homey and feels a bit out of place on the street, but it's a great option in the area. The food was really great and moderately priced. The dumplings are Austrian style so they are like giant bread dumpling things that I'm not used to but it was good. I had the green garlic and cheese ones with the salad on the side which was great. The goulash which I tried a bit of was tasty as well. The service was really friendly and there was no English menu so the server was helpful. Highly recommend.

It would be easy to walk right past this little place--I did just that the first time I was in the…read moreneighborhood! But don't do that--you want to eat here. This place is a lovely little gem. I came in around 8 on a Thursday night and took one of the last seats in the house. The atmosphere was great--lights low, wood fresh, good music (Jimi Hendrix, among others). It was easy for me to focus on the book I was reading, which was really nice. I couldn't make up my mind, so I picked the Knoedeltricolore and a glass of zweigelt. The zweigelt was the best wine I've had so far in Germany--smooth, slightly jammy. When the knoedel arrived a bit later, I had to take a picture because the three colors looked so pretty. For the three colors, you get a beet, spinach, and cheese dumpling. I believe all of them had ricotta inside--don't quote me. All of them were good, but I may have preferred the beet to the others. I ate my meal about as slow as I could, really trying to savor each bite. The salad that came with the dumplings was much better than your usual side salad with nice, fresh lettuce. I would go back here again in a second!

The schnitzel and the fish were something both of us really wanted to try seeing schnitzel is a traditional German dish that's a must have and everyone here recommended we try fish while in Hamburg. We tried eating schnitzel at another place but it was way too over seasoned so we couldn't even eat half of it. Let's just say we at every single crumb off of that schnitzel and every bit of the fish as well. Let's just say, though we walked out of there after paying a hefty bill, our tummies were very happy.

If you're looking for the standard "German" place to eat while visiting Hamburg, this place is it…read more It's seated right along the Elbe River, with three floors worth of seating. The bottom two floors are full service dining, while the terrace is more relaxed with servers that mill about. All have great views of the river, and for my visit I enjoyed the sun up on the terrace. I arrived around 3pm on a Sunday, looking for a late lunch after walking and sightseeing all morning. A polite man pointed me upstairs when I said I wanted to sit outside, and found that you seat yourself up there when I arrived. They have English versions of the menu available with a QR code, and free wifi so no worries about roaming data when trying to decide what you want to eat. Also, plenty of the staff speak English, so for tourist that might ease your worries. I had their seasonal beer, which was a light wheat for the summer. It was the small size, and plenty for me as beer isn't always my go-to drink. My meal consisted of the fried fish (local white fish) with cucumber potato salad. Everything was fresh, tasty, and my favorite part was that salad. It was so different than my normal "American" potato salad and I loved it. My only complaint would be that their prices are on the high side. There's plenty of other places with cheaper options and probably larger plates. But for the atmosphere, I'd say it was worth it. It's a great establishment, with great homemade beer (their vats are right in the dining room), and very close to many tourist areas. I highly recommend a visit!
