Sebastiana from Hamburg

About me I was born in Hamburg and like all Hamburgers, I am very proud of my “perl“. During high school and university, I lived in the U.S. and in Spain and during these times I’ve met many great people from all over the world.

Kleine Haie Grosse Fische Hamburg

Nordic midnight snack!

""Kleine Haie Grosse Fische" makes some of Hamburg's best Fischbrötchen (bun with fish). I recommend it to all night party people who don't like McDonald's."

Are you in desperate need of some savory food after a night of dancing at the Kiez? But do you want to stay in your non-touristy vacation mood and stick to a real Nordic snack? Then I suggest you stop by Kleine Haie Grosse Fische (= small sharks big fish).

This place is perfectly located right next to the Hans-Albers-Platz, close to our harbor and opens almost all night, so it's perfect for all the hungry party people who don't want to go to McDonald's. The guys who own the restaurant produce some of the best Fischbrötchen (bun with fish) in Hamburg and you will get to choose from all kinds of different fish, like Bismarck herring, salmon, fried herring, homemade fish patties or crabs. You can also try their Störte-Burger (Störtebecker was a very famous pirate in Hamburg). My personal favorite is a bun with Matjes herring and onions - if you want the total Hamburg experience, pair it with an Astra (the typical beer from Hamburg).

Another really nice point about this place is that there are great concerts, readings and other cool cultural events on a regular basis. Enjoy!

Mexiko Strasse Taquería

Buen provecho!

"Mexiko Strasse Taquería" in Hamburg really reminds me of the food I had next to the Mexican border. Their tacos aren't the same you'll find everywhere...

Stephanusgarten is a relaxed, leafy spot that feels like a hidden backyard for the whole neighborhood. Come and relax at local's beloved green retreat.
