Das Weisse Haus

This is an offbeat dining choice worth seeking out. It lies in a converted old fisherman's cottage. Even fishermen patronize the place along with Hamburg yachties. Forget about a menu, as there is none. You tell the waiter how hungry you are, and you might mention your food likes and dislikes, or any allergies you have. The chef takes care of your menu, which often begins with that Hamburg classic, aalsuppe (eel soup). You might also start with a honey almond salad with watermelon, a refreshing change of pace. Not all the menu is devoted to seafood; you can, for example, order a tender rack of lamb with a tarragon-laced hollandaise on the side.
