Schulauer Fahrhaus - Willkomm-Hoft

Interesting, quirky restaurant with its very own 'Captain' welcoming the different cargo ships entering Hamburg port and entertaining its clientele.Sat outside as it was a glorious day and ate off the Beer Garden menu - pulled pork burgers. Then tried one of the delicious looking desserts that I kept seeing brought out to other restaurant goers! I went for the hazelnut cake covered in marzipan mmm ...Very good service by friendly staff and delicious food, can recommend a visit if you're passing

The restaurant on the Elbe river offers more than just good food. We enjoyed a great wedding with a party of 70 - amazing atmosphere, most enjoyable location for a party and combined with the view on the Elbe it is just fulfilling all wishes. Go the the captain's place and buy your own cup of cappuccino. The captain will tell you all about his 16,000 cards of ships and vessels in his file. Amazing stories...

Great service great fish dishes and top desserts; I was at the Schulauer Fährhaus on the first of january 2017 for Lunch; we ordered many different dishes (fishsuppe, flansteak, sholle, and a superb pannfish the traditional fish dish from Hamburg) and all of them were very good in terms of quality and presentation. the service was very good and the view of the incoming ships was outstanding. I found it a little bit to expensive , around 25 euro for a main course, but I would suggest to foreigners to have a look and take at least a kaffee und kuchen and enjoj the incoming ships which are all wellcomed with a speech around the history and the technical characteristics of the ship

We were invited to a 50th birthday celebration at Schulauer Fahrhaus. The restaurant is large - we were a party of around 80, with other rooms receiving other smaller parties as well as a good sized wedding. Location: awesome, on the banks of the Elbe, and a historic welcome point for ships, as others have described. Decor: the room was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Beneath the garlands and tinsel, the style was relatively dull.Food: superb buffet. I enjoyed the cold cuts and then the duck especially.Service: good, efficient, friendly but not fussy or over attentive - vital in a party like that. Verdict: I would like to come back - in daylight and in summer!

Went there for brunch with the family one Sunday morning a few weeks back and enjoyed thoroughly the atmosphere the cuisine and the impeccable staff. It takes a while (along small streets) to get to the place when starting from downtown Hamburg but the trip will prove worth your while.
