Restaurants near Binnenalster

Good service. Delicious food. Cosy place in beautiful location. Thank you.

NikkeiNine is an upmarket Japanese restaurant attached to the Four Seasons Hotel. It serves top quality Japanese-inspired dishes. The service is attentive but, perhaps due to the holiday season, the restaurant seemed understaffed. The decor is opulent, perhaps a bit over the top. Prices are high bordering on the outrageous, but the clientele is unlikely to mind whether the Wagyu comes at 159€ per 100g (today’s price) or at 200 or whatever. The list of Sake to choose from is reasonable but quite limited.

The food was lovely, quiet when we went. Cosy and lovely view. Was the food worth the price, no. Was it delicious, yes. Potatoe Purree should not be €11. The service though vs the food was very low quality. Almost as if we were interrupting their relaxing time. I had to ask for the bill and our empty plates sat on the table for a long time. They didn’t bother to say goodbye even though we were the only ones in there. I wouldn’t return.

The experience started on a slightly awkward note with the front-of-house staff. Both ladies were not very welcoming, and perhaps due to a language barrier, one of them assumed I didn’t have a reservation without even checking. That said once seated I had the best waiter I could ask for! the food was absolutely outstanding. The tartare and fillet were exceptional, and the wine selection was impressive. The sommelier and the waiter truly elevated the experience. The sommelier was friendly and highly knowledgeable, while the waiter was clearly passionate about his work and delivered impeccable service. Their professionalism more than made up for the initial hiccup with the reception staff. Overall Food AMAZING, service AMAZING. I will go back when I am next in Hamburg. Thank you
