Speisewirtschaft Opitz
On our drive back to Belgium before arriving in our final destination Stockholm, we spent the night in Hamburg. With the opportunity to only eat one meal, we wanted to experience a typical North German meal. Luckily I have ex-colleagues in Hamburg and they recommended Speisewirtschaft Opitz. So we happily made a reservation and enjoyed the vintage atmosphere and delicious Hamburg-style food (aka lots of North Sea shrimp and fish!).
German beer, of course
My starter: “Hamburger Krabbensuppe mit Sahnehäubchen”, or Hamburg-style North Sea shrimp bisque
Koen’s starter: “Krabbencocktail mit Cocktailsauce”, or North Sea shrimp cocktail
Koen’s main: “Ewerscholle Finkenwerder Art”, or plaice fried with bacon, a typical dish from the Finkenwerder neighborhood of Hamburg
My main: “Hamburger Pannfisch mit Dijon-Senfsauce und Bratkartoffein”, or Hamburg-style pan-fried fish with a Dijon mustard sauce
