Michelin-starred 3

360°

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, International

With a name like 360°, who isn't expecting a great view? The highlight of this sleek, modern restaurant on the third floor has got to be the roof terrace! But you can also enjoy the views over the city from the inside thanks to the large windows. Alternatively, you can watch Alexander Hohlwein and his team at work in the open kitchen as they prepare their creative set menu in the evening ("Weltreise"). Over four to eight courses, harmoniously balanced flavours are presented – such as exquisite Helgoland lobster with tomato, passion fruit and ponzu, or perfectly roasted Challans duck with coffe

Hofstube Deimann

★ Michelin€€€€Modern Cuisine, Seasonal Cuisine

The spa hotel that houses this fine dining restaurant was originally a manor house that dates back to 1880 and has been in the Deimann family since 1917. The single set menu is bursting with bold flavours and showcases excellent ingredients. Chef Felix Weber is the talent behind it all. The classic beef Wellington is a genuine triumph – with its wonderfully buttery, crisp, golden-brown puff pastry crust, it is aesthetically pleasing – but more impressive still is the masterfully executed preparation of the tender beef fillet and mushroom duxelles, alongside an intense, velvety and aromatic bra

heyligenstaedt

€€€International, Farm to table

The high ceilings, steel girders, large mullioned windows and sections of exposed brick wall show a conscious effort to retain some of the industrial charm of this old factory building: these features have been merged into the chic, modern design.
