Gay restaurants and queer-friendly cafés can be found in almost every central district in Hamburg, but most visibly in St. Georg along the Lange Reihe. Here you sit outside in the café during the day and eat in the evening, often with a clearly queer crowd, because many restaurants are an integral part of the neighborhood's scene. The street is a good starting point for the evening, because breakfast addresses, small bistros and restaurants for the special occasion are lined up within a few hundred meters.
In addition, you don't have to look far for a table in Hamburg where you feel comfortable as a queer guest. The city is open and cosmopolitan, and in the Schanze, in Ottensen or around the Alster, eating out for gay couples is as normal as anywhere else. The spectrum ranges from simple breakfast addresses to international cuisine to fish restaurants at the harbour. After a long night, the Lange Reihe is just as safe for a late brunch as it is for a relaxed coffee in the afternoon. Whether you are looking for a permanent trendy restaurant or simply want to eat well and easily, the following selection gives you an overview.
