The Elbe – you can't get any closer.
Café, bar & restaurant on the floating pontoon of Hamburg's Landungsbrücken. Right opposite Dock 10 of Blohm + Voss – where cruise ships glide past almost close enough to touch.
the Elbe
A holiday right in Hamburg.
Directly on the harbour edge, on the floating pontoon of the St. Pauli Landungsbrücken, you'll find one of the most exciting hotspots in the Hanseatic city.
While the Elbe bubbles and babbles, watch the busy life on the water by day and by night, the never-ending work at Dock 10 opposite – and let the wanderlust take hold.
From the first coffee to sunset.
Cooked for the stomach – and the eye.
Breakfast, burgers, seafood & more: plenty of fish and seafood, plus burgers, hash browns, wraps, tarte flambée and salads. And a freshly tapped Flensburger.
Menu
Fish, burgers, hash browns, baked potatoes, salads – with vegetarian labels and search.
