Restaurant Jellyfish by Stefan Fäth

"A mecca for fans of fish and seafood, Jellyfish proposes a set menu comprising five, six or seven courses, with the option to upgrade. The cuisine is modern, innovative and surprising at every turn. Emphasis is placed on premium-quality ingredients as, for example, in the wonderful Spessart trout Steckerlfisch, which is charcoal-grilled, glazed with BBQ sauce and accompanied by marinated red cabbage, pickled plum and a marigold gel with citrus notes. The set menu can be paired with wine or appealing alcoholic-free alternatives. As for the setting, the restaurant, located in the Schanzenviertel, has a pleasingly minimalist interior with soft lighting and background music. Adding to the experience is the attentive and knowledgeable team, who also have spot-on wine recommendations up their sleeve – the range of Champagnes and German Rieslings is especially worth exploring. Fantastic set bistro menu at lunchtime Sat-Sun. Tip: A number of food items can be purchased to take home." - Michelin Inspector

How MICHELIN Guide Chefs are Making Magic with Lemons and Champagne

"Currently at the helm of his One MICHELIN Star restaurant Jellyfish in Hamburg, Germany, Chef Stefan Fäth previously worked for a cruise ship that sailed around the world. Fäth recalls meals in Thailand and India that he simply loved, and thus infused Thai flavor into his lemon dish. 'The base is like a French lobster bisque and then we add spices and aromatics from Thai cuisine—Kaffir lime, lemon crust, a little bit of curry paste for fresh flavor,' he shares. 'The citrus adds the lightness; we use no cream, just coconut milk so it’s still rich but fresh.' There’s also mango for sweetness and fried red shrimp with herbs like coriander and a topping of 'caviar' citrus from the finger lime." - Jillian Dara

"Sure, you can (and should) sample a traditional fischbrötchen , or fish sandwich, from one of the ubiquitous stalls near Hamburg’s old port; but for something a bit more modern, Jellyfish offers up intricately composed seafood dishes with sustainably caught fish. This sparsely decorated restaurant, located in the Sternschanze district west of Aussenalster lake, got its first Michelin star in 2018; and in March 2018, it was named Germany’s top fish restaurant by German food magazine Der Feinschmecker ." - Liz Humphreys
