"By the Nikolaifleet canal, one of the oldest buildings in Hamburg, which is located in the city's oldest street, is home to this appealing bar-cum-restaurant. Spanning a few floors, the space capitalises on the historical charm of the original structure (1697): Crystal chandeliers, wooden beams and modern furnishings as well as shelves lined with decorative bottles all come together to create a genuinely warm ambiance. The kitchen serves its modern take on classic cuisine as a sophisticated set menu or à la carte. Highlights include scallop with barley, salt marsh herbs, apple, seaweed caviar and beurre blanc, or flat iron steak with pumpkin seed dumplings, kalette, mushrooms, apple and cheese. Given the restaurant's name, it might come as no surprise that the extensive selection of spirits includes around 1 100 whiskies." - Michelin Inspector
