The Veddeler Fischgaststätte has been a popular harborside truck stop for fresh fish ever since it opened

in 1932. Recently the Hamburg city authorities announced a plan to rip it down and build a new

compound for offices and living space on the property, and this launched a huge protest petition to

preserve the premises. The outcome is still pending.

You can see this truly unique place (like a time capsule back 90 years, historic oven, worn tables, white

mesh curtains) for yourself- join us for an early lunch on Wednesday, June 1 from 11:00-12:30. We will

be outside if the weather is nice, otherwise at a table indoors.

This is truly a truck stop in the middle of Veddel, near the bridges over the Elbe, and it will be a small

adventure for you just getting there! Watch out for trucks as you cross the parking lot.

Directions: S3 to Veddel, then either walk or take bus 154 just one stop, getting out at Hovestieg. From

here it’s a very short walk: there is a wide sidewalk along Sieldeich that ends directly at the large parking

lot where the restaurant is located, Tunnelstrasse 70.

Cost: you pay for your own meal, which is modestly priced.
