In Short

Located directly on the Mundsburg Canal and even under the historic Mundsburg Bridge, the restaurant offers a unique atmosphere. The famous glass houses, which are located directly on the water, are particularly attractive in winter. They are heated, comfortably furnished and offer a spectacular view of the shimmering canal – perfect for a romantic evening or an exclusive dinner.
Ambience: History Meets Coziness
The restaurant combines historical elements with modern charm. Inside, guests are seated in stylish surroundings under the bridge pillars, but the glass houses are undoubtedly the star. The sparkling water, warm lights and private atmosphere create an experience that is more than just dinner. The €50 per person minimum may seem high, but it is quickly reached with the upscale menu.

Taste Explosions and Minor Flaws
The giant bruschetta lives up to its name – the portion is impressive, almost a little too big. Crispy bread, fresh ingredients and a great combination of savory and spicy notes make it a delicious starter. The burrata scores with its fresh, harmonious combination – creamy cheese meets sweet and sour dressing.
Although the taste of the handmade gnocchi was convincing, the portion was small and the sauce dominated a little too much. For the price, we would have liked a little more substance here. The fillet of beef, on the other hand, was a hit – medium roasted, tender and wonderfully complemented by the intense flavors of the side dishes.
To finish, the chocolate soufflé delighted us with its intense, chocolatey center, while the tiramisu was a classically solid finale.
Our Conclusion: An Experience to Remember
The Anleger 1870 is not just a restaurant, but an experience that enchants winter evenings in Hamburg. The combination of spectacular ambience and fine cuisine is definitely something special.
