Front row at the Altona Fish Market, with the Elbe right outside the window: Rive is a Hamburg classic. Since Yvonne and Alexander Tschebull took over the restaurant in 2017, it has been one of the top addresses for fish and seafood. Stylishly Hanseatic, yet modern and relaxed.
„In the kitchen, Melanie Kühn and Felix Dietz set the tone: refined, cosmopolitan fish cuisine featuring sole with cucumber salad, moules frites, Mediterranean seafood pasta, lobster tacos, and scallops with grilled artichoke and miso beurre blanc. Those who don't care for fish can enjoy a formidable Wiener schnitzel or steak frites.“
With the elegance of the old school, yet never outdated. The décor is modern and welcoming, the service attentive and warm. The hostess and head of the house is Yvonne Tschebull. Her style: refined, without any stiffness. This suits a grand evening just as well as a lunch with a harbor view.
Van-der-Smissen-Strasse 1, between the Elbe and the Altona Fish Market. From the spacious dining room, you can look out over the Elbe, the shipyard, and the harbor cranes, with ships passing right by. Inside there are 140 seats, and 70 more on the terrace. Reservations are worthwhile.
The wine list is a delight: Champagne from Veuve Clicquot to Dom Pérignon alongside reasonably priced white wines from Rheinhessen to Meursault, plus rarities and grand crus. At the bar, there's Pisco Sour, Mezcal Margarita, and the Cool Geisha with sake and yuzu. Non-alcoholic? Nogroni, Rose Sour, and alcohol-free sparkling wine.
