Gourmet without borders!
Italian, Indian, Greek or sushi bar: if you're looking for a specific national cuisine, you’ll definitely find more than one favourite restaurant in Hamburg’s all-embracing food scene. But how about high-end culinary combinations across national borders for a change? In the heart of the Hanseatic city, Japan meets Holland, Vietnam or all of Asia, while Italy makes 'amore' to America. Sound good? Attention gourmets: Here are five trendy fusion cuisines for foodies, finger-lickers and all those who love to taste their way through the pots and pans of the world!
1.Gaumenganoven
The Gaumenganoven (“palate villain”) have taken up quarters in the Ottensener Zeisehallen until further notice. Their special culinary coup: "Dinger"... or in English, “things”. "Dinger" are balls of dough fried in a special Asian pan, served with salad and crowned with subtly balanced toppings. The Gaumenganoven developed this symbiosis of Japanese takoyaki and Dutch poffertjes themselves. Dinger are available with different fillings from the worlds of fish, meat and vegetables, sourced from the local region and crafted into products with loving care. Six per portion are plated up – a filling meal for only eight euros.

Spicy, light phở from Vietnam, or is a rich Japanese ramen more your thing? No more need for tough decisions: the proprietors of Ume no hana between Sternschanze and St. Pauli make both of these traditional stars – 100% authentic, fragrant, steaming Asian soups. You'll want to dive into your bowl! Like the menu, the premises of the “Plum Blossom” unites Vietnamese street food flair and classic decorative elements from Japan. Bring along an insatiable craving for liquid satisfaction and you’ll be in seventh soup heaven here. From eight euros upwards.

We've loved Spanish tapas and Arab mezze forever. At last, the principle of a thousand little plates and bowls is also available in delicious Far Eastern style – in the heart of Winterhude. In the plain surroundings of Vous, friends and gastronomy experts Vo and Vu serve Pan-Asian delights to share and sample. They blur culinary borders with creative tricks that serve the continent’s diverse flavours at lunch and dinner. The Asian tapas with the special twist are available from 4.50 euros.
