Daniel Wischer

The fish restaurants owned and run by Daniel Wischer are known and loved both in and around Hamburg.

One of the best-known fish bistros with the longest tradition in Hamburg. Founded 90 years ago, it promotes a down-to-earth philosophy with great cooking.

Each year, about half a million guests visit them. These eateries are about good wholesome everyday food, not star gastronomy. The tables are closely packed and guests sit on leather-clad wooden benches, eating freshly prepared fish and hot potato salad. A visit to Daniel Wischer has become a ritual for many people. The dishes are simple and down to earth, but are also plentiful and good. The business idea, first formulated in 1924, still holds good today: quality inexpensive food served promptly in an appealing atmosphere.
