This dark, wood-panel restaurant dating back to 1535 is the city's old Mariners' Society house, which was off-limits to women until 1870. Today locals and visitors alike enjoy freshly brewed beer and great seafood in church-style pews at long 400-year-old oak tables.
A welcoming fish restaurant just five minutes' walk from the Holstentor has a trendy industrial-style interior and showcases modern cuisine with a focus on regional ingredients, including organically farmed catfish from Brandenburg. Hot meals are available all day, and the restaurant brews its own beer. Across the street ( An d. Untertrave 52A), Fangfrisch sells sandwiches and fish rolls to go from their food truck.
Committed to the city's maritime heritage, Wullenwever serves fish such as bass, halibut, plaice, pike, and trout, which is fried or sautéed according to local country cooking. It's certainly one of the most attractive establishments in town, with dark furniture, chandeliers, and oil paintings on pale pastel walls.
