When Hamburgers need to make an important decision or ponder, they are often drawn down to the harbor. Here at the Elbe river, most of them say they can 'clear their heads' best. But of course, that's not the only reason why so many restaurants have settled by the water in Hamburg. There's also the Alster lake, and as you may have heard or read, the fact that Hamburg has more bridges than Venice. It would be interesting to know how Hamburg fares with its selection of waterfront restaurants...
But it's the bustling international port with its quays that offers an endless reservoir of fascinating impressions of Hamburg against a dreamlike backdrop. With the Elbe river flowing right in front, the romance of seafaring comes alive, the city's people let themselves drift, and the culinary palate of foodies craves that maritime kick. That's why the restaurants with a view of the Hamburg harbor, which make this unique atmosphere tangible, are very popular. They are pearls waiting to be discovered. We are convinced: 'am kai' is the perfect place for that!
