Cox
This upmarket French-style bistro was in the vanguard of the gentrification of sleazy St Georg, and some long-term residents find it a bit snobby. Even they will admit, though, that the changing menu is delicious. Dishes include things like red snapper with basil pesto and Provençale potato salad, or veal in balsamic jus with ratatouille and gnocchi.

Das Weisse Haus
A converted fisherman's cottage, this White House is surprisingly cramped for its status as a culinary power player. Chef Tim Mälzer is Germany's answer to Jamie Oliver, so people book a month ahead to submit themselves to his and his team's 'surprise' dinners. The best seats among the artfully low-key rooms are in the front wintergarden. Book well ahead.

Deichgraf
Deichgraf is one leading local restaurant that can acquaint you with dishes of eels. Adventurous gourmands might like to sample Aalsuppe (eel soup) spiced with dried fruit, ham, vegetables and herbs. Or perhaps you'd prefer Labskaus , a dish of boiled marinated beef put through the grinder with mashed potatoes and herring and served with a fried egg, red beets and pickles?

East
This design hotel's euro-Asian restaurant is its most breathtaking feature. Huge fat white columns, slightly wavy and striated like trees, stretch from the basement floor to the high ceiling above the mezzanine Yakshi's bar. Private lounges are hidden in the white honeycomb wall.

Erikas Eck
Traditional, wood-lined Erikas has been serving up red-eye specials since the golden oldies always on its radio were first-time hits. Fare includes schnitzels, herrings and Schweinebraten (roast pork) , and an array of breakfasts (the belegte Brötchen (sandwiches) plus accompaniments) from midnight.

La Vela
Cruise and container ships glide by just outside the window of this buzzing, semiformal Italian restaurant. With such unusually close-up views, it keeps most other things simple: the red-brick interior is uncluttered and the menu is sparse, with about a dozen main choices. The only complicated thing is the enormous wine list.

Lust auf Italien
If you just can't be bothered to dress up for an Elbmeile evening, the communal wooden benches of this rustic, unpretentious Italian restaurant are the best place to plonk yourself. The pasta and fish dishes are homy rather than gourmet, but the seafood usually tastes like it's just leapt from the sea. Take a post-prandial stroll for a proper look at the river.
-
Made in Portugal
The Schanzenviertel teems with Portuguese eateries, especially around the 'piazza' just to the south of this tiny tiled café. This place produces the creamiest custard tarts, as well as simple snacks.
-
Vienna
Neighbours whisper proudly that this is Hamburg's best German-Austrian restaurant. While it looks like a French country-cottage restaurant, particularly with the overgrown garden hiding its outdoor terrace, the schnitzels, venison and fish are distinctly authentic.
