Tafelfreuden
This sunflower-yellow, poppy-red-trimmed wooden villa was built in 1870 as a summer house and is now home to a wonderfully convivial restaurant where set menus utilise fresh produce and are accompanied by an inspired wine list. If you can't drag yourself away, it also has three charming guest rooms (singles €45 to €60, doubles €60 to €75) with beach themes: 'lighthouse', 'shell' and 'Strandkörbe', for the region's iconic sheltered 'beach basket' seats.

Weinhaus Uhle
Step back in time at this traditional family wine merchant, where the pianist plays beneath stained-glass windows and barrel-vaulted ceilings in the formal restaurant (with tables divided by olive-coloured velvet curtains) and the occasional customer still wears an opera cloak in the wood-lined Weinstube (traditional wine bar). Specialities include chateaubriand, carved at the table, as well as venison and fish.

Café Zieger
The 150-year-old Café Zieger, by the foot of the Rote Stufen, is sole stockist of a peculiar local patisserie known as the Meissner Fummel. Resembling an ostrich egg made of very delicate pastry, legend has it the Fummel was invented in 1710 as a test to stop the royal courier from drinking between deliveries - great care is required if you want to get it home in one piece.

Die Suppenstube
Funky stainless-steel light fittings made from cutlery, stripped floorboards and bare tables provide a minimalist contrast with the historic half-timbered walls of this house on the edge of the Markt. The menu is equally sparing but stylish - eight steaming kettles of homemade soups (with optional sliced sausage), and three desserts (including a deliciously rich chocolate pudding).

Panthera Rodizio
At the eastern end of one of Hamburg's liveliest and most multicultural eat streets, the best way to experience a feast at this high-tempo Brazilian restaurant is to order the Spezialität Rodizio buffet, whereby huge skewers of meat are brought around to your table and carved onto your plate. Vegetarian dishes are available too, but that would be missing the point.

Marientorzwinger
[ourpick] Marientorzwinger This is the last remaining Zwinger eatery (taverns built between the inner and outer walls when they relinquished their military use) in Nuremberg. Chomp on sturdy Franconian staples or a vegie dish in the simple wood-panelled dining room or the leafy beer garden, and swab the decks with a yard of Fürth-brewed Tucher.

Alter Schwede
Baltic eel with herbed potatoes, catfish with mustard and a 'captain's bowl' of pork, beef and turkey medallions served on beans with bacon and potatoes are among the specialities of this landmark spot, but there are also a few decent vegetarian choices. Upstairs is a clutch of appealing en suite rooms (singles/doubles €30/45) and a self-contained apartment (€60).

Weber
Jazzy beats play in this hip bistro, sporting a sleek interior with teak tables, olive-black colours and woven screens. Presented in a vinyl cover, the menu gives local flavours a Mediterranean twist - think ostrich filet with lemon Schupfnudeln (potato noodles). Brunch favourites include luxus Eier (luxury eggs) with truffle oil and parmesan.

Alte Friesenstube
You won't find sojourning celebs at this charmingly old- fashioned, family-run restaurant. Set inside Sylt's oldest reed-thatched cottage (1648) lined with decorative wall tiles and tiled ovens, what you will find are homely regional specials listed on a largely incomprehensible handwritten menu in Plattdütsch dialect (helpfully translated by staff).

La Bodega
It's always fiesta time at this buzzy cantina with its cosy vaulted cellar and romantic courtyard. Gobble up the jamón (smoked ham), stuffed peppers, nut-encrusted goat cheese and other authentic tapas or go the whole nine yards and order a heaping paella. Locals invade for the Monday special: a pound of fat shrimp with four dipping sauces for €15.

Délice
Save your appetite for dinner (presuming you've booked well ahead) at this vaulted Michelin-starred restaurant. Viennese master chef Friedrich Gutscher uses organic ingredients in taste sensations such as tender pigeon breast on boletus potatoes and curd ice cream with rose water. The sommelier will talk you through the award-winning riesling selection.

Wenzel's Prager Bierstuben
If you've a big hole to fill, head for this tavern with faux Gothic interiors, old Prague street signs and, most importantly, monster portions of Slavic stodge. Start with some echt Carlsbad Becherovka (herbal digestif), followed by a Bohemian belly-stretcher such as beef goulash with dumplings. Swab the decks with a Prague-brewed Staropramen.

Gastätte St Bartholomä
On the shore of the Königsee, and reached by boat, this is a tourist haunt that actually serves delicious food made with ingredients picked, plucked and hunted from the surrounding forests and the lake. Savour generous platters of venison in mushroom sauce with dumplings and red sauerkraut, or grilled trout in the large beer garden or indoors.

Bjesada
With warm colours, contemporary design and backlit figures from Sorb fairy-tales, the Sorb Cultural Centre restaurant is perhaps not what you'd expect from an eatery celebrating traditional culture. However, the bilingual menu is laden with typical dishes involving herring and beef, with a few token vegie choices thrown in for good measure.

Der Spanier
It's a food store. It's a restaurant. It's both. Conversation flows as freely as the wine at this convivial eatery whose eclectic clientele shares a passion for chef Luis' grilled gambas (shrimp), crunchy fried calamari and other Iberian staples. If you help yourself to a bottle of wine from the shelf, the corkage fee is just €3.

Fischerklause
Fischerklause is one of the atmospheric old fishermen's cottages lining the western bank of Alter Strom, and attracts plenty of tourists (but then so does all of Warnemünde). Still, its ship's cabin decor and its succulent seafood make it worth seeking out. Afterwards pop in for a drink at the adjoining bar fronted by thatched umbrellas.

Fisch & So
For fresh fish at fantastically low prices, head to this little cafe's clutch of blue-clothed tables to savour simple but delicious fish sandwiches, or perhaps Tintenfish c(calamari) with Bratkartoffeln (sautéed potatoes). It's tucked away on the river side of the redbrick Fischmarkt Hamburg-Altona market hall.

Café Mimosa
A welcome change from the greasy fast-food joints on the nearby Reeperbahn, this gem of a neighbourhood cafe serves delicious pastas, healthy salads, proper coffee and homemade cakes in a theatrical space of stripped floors, bare wooden tables with brass candlesticks and red-and-cream-painted walls. There's a clutch of pavement tables.

Okra
Save your appetite for a plate of feistily flavoured wot (stew) at Okra, an authentic Ethiopian restaurant. Getting there is easy: from the Hauptbahnhof it's either a 15-minute walk via Worringer Strasse or a short ride on tram 709 to Wetterstrasse (head north for a couple of minutes to get to Ackerstrasse).

Kupferkanne
Giant mugs of coffee and huge slices of cake (including scrumptious plum cake) are served in the magical gardens of this Alice in Wonderland -style cafe where wooden tables surrounded by a maze of low bramble hedges overlook the Wadden Sea and the Braderup Heide (heath). Meals are also served in the attached Frisian house.

Kornblume
Don't be deterred by the crass decor at this family-run place 1.5km east of the centre, as the tasty food is lovingly prepared and strict organic and eco-friendly principles impeccably upheld. The menu reads like a vegetarian's antioxidant bible, though the occasional meat dish also makes an appearance. Take bus 5 to Wunderberg.

Villa Mittermeier
The kitchen dynamos at this classy establishment serve top-notch Michelin-starred cuisine in five settings, including a black-and-white tiled 'Temple', an alfresco terrace and a barrel-shaped wine cellar. The artistic chefs rely on locally harvested produce, and the wine list (400-plus varieties) is probably Franconia's best.

Weinhaus Wöhler
In addition to wood-lined dining rooms, a large covered courtyard and a tapas/cocktail bar, this historic, half-timbered inn also shelters six luxury double rooms (€80 to €130) and an apartment (€150). Poached salmon in Riesling, and shredded pork with bacon, potato and cucumber are among the standouts of its regional menu.
