Detailed itinerary

Join us for this 3-hour long food tour across the heart of Nordic cuisine in the amazing St Pauli district in Hamburg. You will discover the city and its gastronomy with the help of our Local Expert and enjoy an itinerant full meal in at least 4 stops. All the food and drinks here described are included!
Please, bear in mind that the tastings here described may change according to the season and the availabilities of our partners.

Stop 2

St Pauli Piers are the heart of this neighbourhood situated on the waterfront. Built in 1839 as a steamship terminal, this place is nowadays a 205-meter-long terminal building where you will find not only ships, but also restaurants, cafes and bars.
That's why we'll start here and we can't start a tour in Germany with a refreshing glass of traditional beer, served with a freshly baked bretzel. The perfect appetizer to begin with!

Stop 3

Hamburg has historically been a city that founded its wealth on trading, so markets were considered a main feature of the city.
Nowadays, the historic Fish Market is still full of life and nearby you will find a charming restaurant to eat a classic from Northern Germany and, especially, Hamburg. Labskaus is made from corned beef, mashed potatoes, and beetroot, which gives a distinctive pink shade to this dish. You will never eat something similar elsewhere!

Stop 4

Let's continue with a staple of Nordic German cuisine: the fish sandwich. Hamburg is a portual city and fish is one of the main ingredients of its cuisine. You will try it in a delicious restaurant, beloved by locals, in the center of the district, where you will find a lot of nightlife alternatives as well!

Stop 5

Let's have a delicious Currywurst, a classic in Germany. It consists of grilled pork sausage, cut into pieces and served with a spiced tomato sauce and a sprinkle of curry. This dish is loved by both locals and tourists, making it perfect for a quick snack while exploring the city.

Stop 6

To finish your culinary journey, indulge in a sweet local dessert: the Franzbrötchen! A typical dessert with butter, sugar and cinnamon. Alternatively, have a slice of a delicious apple pie.
