The story
Strickers Kehr Wieder Spitze occupies a prime waterfront position in Hamburg, where Hamburg cuisine leans toward Hanseatic roots and Mediterranean ease. Recognized with a Schlemmer Atlas spoon for its consistent standards, the venue keeps guests comfortable in actual beach chairs while watching river traffic pass the Elbphilharmonie. The two-level dining room maintains that relaxed harbor rhythm, shifting quickly from midday lunch service to evening gatherings.
The kitchen prepares warm meals continuously since twelve noon, relying on daily market deliveries rather than heavy preservation. Chefs prioritize sustainable fishing practices, which explains why the catch of the day appears prominently alongside classic pannfisch and grilled elbe sturgeon. Vegetarian plates receive equal attention, featuring roasted cauliflower puree, tofu stew with smoked alternatives, or penne rigate tossed in green asparagus sauce. Every dish reflects a straightforward approach to the coastal kitchen that values texture over theatrical presentation.
The summer selection structures its flavors around tomato trilogies with ricotta, paprika vanilla cream soup, and cod zucchini rolls paired with bouillabaisse foam. Main courses alternate between Duroc pork secreto with red cabbage cream and wild boar goulash finished with hazelnut spätzle. Paired wines arrive from Portugal, Mosel, and Languedoc vineyards, while Alfred Gratien champagne opens the table. The kitchen closes the meal with tonka bean crème brûlée, raspberry tartlets topped with torched meringue, or a curated cheese plate from Holstein routes.
