Basically, a British corner shop removed from any small town in the UK and transplanted into…read moreHamburg. Pretty bloody essential, as one could go mad here having to drink German 'tea'. You can also pick up most of the ingredients for a full English breakfast, real crisps, and....wait for it... bitter! Yes indeed, for a paltry EUR3.60 you can savour a bottle of Theakston's Old Peculiar, a Tim Taylor's Landlord, or a Moorhouses' Old Speckled Hen. Makes living in Germany seem not half as bad really...

There's nothing like it anywhere in Hamburg: Robert Berridge's used bookshop selling only English…read morebooks. Mr. Berridge himself reminds me of a hobbit, and if hobbits were capable of living in complete chaos, they'd feel right at home in this shop. Overfilled, dusty and musty, the cheap (and mostly dangerously leaning) shelves are packed in no particular order with used books in English, in wildly varying states of decomposition. However, despite the haphazard state of his shelves, Mr. Berridge has surprised me time and time again by laying his hand on the book I'm looking for within seconds. If the shop were slightly cleaner and more organised, it'd get a five, but it's simply the only place to go for a large selection in Hamburg, so a three will have to do. As for the attached "English Foods" shop, I can't really judge. I've never been impressed enough with English cuisine to bother going in it, but I guess it'd be a comfort for poms over from the island.

This butcher's shop is a dream come true for the aspiring amateur chef - not only is the staff very…read morefriendly (and doesn't treat one like an idiot, a trait as common in the meat business as in DIY stores, for some reason), but the quality is absolutely top notch, as well. Granted, there are cheaper ways to get some meat between your teeth, but to me trust is more important than low prices or some random "organic" badge. Fleischerei Harms is a family-run business without a dozen branches or (often skin-deep) "lifestyle appeal", so one would expect them to be able to concentrate on getting their meat right. The top quality tenderloin and roastbeef (plus a very tasty sauce remoulade that puts many a delicatessen's offerings to shame) I bought there confirmed this notion.

What a cool experience at this Hamburg Fish Market! Whether you're looking to go as a tourist and…read moretry some tasty treats, or stop by as a local and get produce for the week, or a local restaurant looking for fresh catch, this place is for you! We arrived around 8am on a Sunday and stayed until closing at 9:30. The area was full of vendors with apparel, souvenirs, handmade German items, fresh fish, treats, veggies, fruits, and more. I enjoyed having a smoked salmon fish sandwich for breakfast. Highly recommend this on the water experience.
