Café Schmidt an der Elbe

Café Schmidt on Große Elbstraße is a home port for those in the know.

'Der Feinschmecker', a good food guide, has praised this café repeatedly, calling it one of the best in the city.

Located right beside the Elbe and surrounded by fish restaurants and gourmet food markets, this café marries the traditional and the modern, the art of bakery and the culture of coffee (with its own brand of coffee, the 'Waterkant' brand). As well as its traditional 'Franzbrötchen' bread rolls, the pastry cooks and bakers in its glazed bakery magic up some delicious things. Tartlets, biscuits, cakes, tarts and various kinds of bread, rolls and quiches are offered. Every day, it offers delicious breakfast combinations and constantly changing lunchtime dishes. Great emphasis is placed on the use of regional and seasonal ingredients in the preparation of these dishes.
