Need to know where you can get a delicious, healthy, vegan, fancy, bobo, cozy, cheap, vegetarian, or quick savory meal? Well Hamburg has had quite a big burger rush in the last few years, the vegan trend is growing, food trucks have just bin discovered and the alpine cuisine is quite spectacular. Following are my favourites, that are seriously worth going to when in Hamburg.
Hamburgers have been exploding in Hamburg over the last years, and there’s quite a lot of creativity, also in the meatless versions – seitan patties, wasabi-mayo, rice buns, tofu-peanut-banana patties . . .
P.S. Meat-eaters: my meat tæster got a bullet point for each featured burger spot, so there’s some advice and tipps for you here too.
This Breton restaurant along the canals is a perfect choice for any occasion. The array of galettes are mouth-watering, accompanied by traditional apple cider, and some homemade caramel-salt crêpes for dessert. This is one of my very favorite recommendations for dinner in Hamburg: unique, different, and always delicious.
From Eimsbüttel to the harbor you can find comforting alpine kitchen that, amongst ripped-apart pancakes (Kaiserschmarrn) and tender Rindergulasches, make heart-warming Knödel and (also vegan) Spätzle.
These smoothie bowls make you feel like you’re literally sitting at a white sanded beach or watching surfers. They’re deliciously home made with awesome granola and surfer vibe!

If you’re looking for a cozy Christmas Market in Hamburg, then head to the one at Apostelkirche in Eimsbüttel. Here you won’t be swamped by people, and can enjoy the best mulled wine, doughy waffles and vegan burgers around the fire place.

Sometimes I write an entry after my first outing in a new café – I guess, there’s no second try needed to convince me – or maybe just because I can’t afford to sample each dish in every café between school, sport, piano… 🙃 However, in other places I do wait a whole year desperate to be enlightened with each individual of their recipes. Even if I love everything from the first day.
That’s Alpenkantine.

This hanseatic town has delicious and different types of pizza to offer. Lots of classical Italian, but also innovative, creative and the build-your-own kind. Below are my three favorite pizzerias to go to – they all differ quite a lot from each other. It really depends on where you are, who you’re going with, and what you feel like eating to decide which one you opt for.
Happen Pappen is a locals favorite and just as popular amongst the non vegan. They make scrumptious dishes: From daily varying lunch bowls, to opulent cakes or raw tarts, and in the evening my favorite vegan burgers in town.
