The most beautiful Restaurants on the waterfront

Restaurant Engel

(Restaurant Engel)

Right on the Elbe, on the Teufelsbrück ferry terminal, NDR TV chef Tarik Rose wields his mouth and knife in his restaurant Engel. The gourmet restaurant initially shines with its unique location on a former viewing platform, directly on the Elbe. But chef Tarik Rose and his right-hand man Nkarang Sanyang know that they cannot rely solely on their ambience and convince with classics in a modern guise in their cuisine. At the same time, they always keep an eye on French culinary art. For lunch, you can try their liaison of fine cuisine and home cooking in a reasonably priced three-course menu.

Zum Alten Lotsenhaus

(Zum Alten Lotsenhaus)

The restaurant has existed for over 200 years and was originally a clubhouse for the pilots' fraternity, whose task was the voluntary rescue of pilots who had lost their way on the Elbe. Due to its high popularity as a meeting place, it was then converted into a restaurant at the beginning of the 19th century. After renovation, the Old Pilots' House now shines in new splendour with stylish wooden furnishings, while the tradition of good North German cuisine continues to be duly preserved.
