Himmlische Versuchung Hamburg
Garden-Café
Tucked away on a quiet street in Eimsbüttel, Himmlische Versuchung truly lives up to its name: Heavenly Temptation. This cozy café and pâtisserie is a warm, inviting place where time seems to move just a little slower. The scent of freshly baked cakes fills the air, and each dessert is crafted like a little work of art. Himmlische Versuchung sits in an old villa, wrapped in ivy and surrounded by trees and flowers.
The furniture is mismatched in the best possible way, giving the place the feel of a living room you instantly feel at home in. Whether you’re here for a long brunch, a slice of lemon tart in the afternoon, or just a moment of peace with a cappuccino, it’s the kind of spot that wraps you in comfort.
In summer, the few outdoor seats are a hidden treasure. After your coffee, walk down Lutterothstraße toward the city or head uphill to the nearby Schrebergärten. Just a few minutes, and you're in the middle of nature.

The Walrus Bar
Treasure island
"The Walrus Bar" Hamburg won't become a museum - instead, it has a whole different, young cocktail culture. It seems like it's the city's hot Tinder point.

Bistro Carmagnole
Tout le monde
"Bistro Carmagnole" Hamburg is protected by a holy oath: never tell tourists about this restaurant. And I get it... but for you, I'm making an exception.
