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.

Fantastic morning! Was easily the funnest outdoor market I've been to. Delicious fried fish too!read more

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.

I will not return to this store…read more Conveniently located just outside and across the street from the Karstadt at the Wandsbeker Quaree, Asia Mekong offers exotic fresh produce and other food products from the Far East to the shoppers of east Hamburg. In front of the store is a dedicated, customer-only parking lot fitting up to three cars. Selection of fresh produce from Vietnam is very good. Large selection of other products from Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, Phillipines, etc. Frozen section includes fish, eel, shrimp, and prepared foods like spring rolls and red bean dim sum. Prices are fair. Workers are very attentive, constantly asking if you need help. Had I not had a bad experience there yesterday, I would have given this place four stars. The store owners approached me as I was taking notes on my iPhone and accused me of writing down prices. They complained I spent too much time in the store last week. I'm not quite sure what they were afraid of. Both times I spent money purchasing items. I was only making notes in preparation for writing my first review on Qype. Being accused of doing something malicious offended me, especially since I was absolutely innocent. For this reason, I must give this store only one star. I will never be able to return without feeling the staff are suspiciously staring at me and watching me like a criminal.
