Dhe opening hours of the brasserie “Carls” in Hamburg, which has the best view across from the Elbphilharmonie, are chosen so that the evening begins at 4:30 p.m. You can get your meal here so that you can sit comfortably in your seat, appropriate to the evening event in the famous concert hall. Thomas Martin from “Louis C. Jacob” on Elbchaussee, who was once our “Favorite of the Year” in the “Classic” category, has a clear program for “Carls”: “French cuisine meets seasonal products from northern Germany. “
We’ll start with the “Nordic arctic char fillet ‘Fumé’ – trout caviar, horseradish, parsnip, dashi” (19.50 euros). The fish, served with skin, is gently cooked and smoked. Essential here is a clear brew with small deposits, green dabs of herbal oil and the hearty taste of the dashi broth; Crunchy strips of parsnips, a hint of fresh horseradish and the trout caviar round off the meal.
