Hamburg’s harbour is one of the “must-see” tourists’ spots
in the city and while taking in the sights you may want to stop and enjoy it. Situated
right in the heart of the harbor is the immense Blockbrau – a two floor dining
room and roof top terrace.
During my last visit to Germany and Austria, I ate many
bowls of goulash. Unlike the Russian version that derives its red colour from
beets, Germans use tomato instead. Blockbrau’s goulash (€4.90) had that intense
tomato and beef broth I was craving and was particularly satisfying on the cool
fall day. There is just a slight hint of peppery spice in the background and was
great for dipping the country bread into.
My husband opted for the Nürnberger
tostbratwurst (€9.90) with five light pan fried pork sausages that had a rather
refreshing seasoning within it. Served with sauerkraut, bread and mustard it’s
the quintessential German dish that melds so well with pilsner.
For craft beer aficionados, Blockbrau brews their own line
of beers, on site, using aroma hops from Bavaria. Available in quarter and half litre sizes,
they also affordable ranging from €2.50 – €4.80.
If deciding what to order is
difficult, they also have a beer flight (€18.90) comprised of eight 0.25 litre
glasses. After all, as a tourist you have plenty of time and it’s always beer o’clock.
