Erika's Eck
A legendary corner tavern with over forty years of history, open almost all night, highly popular for its large portions of schnitzel and fried potatoes.
A traditional corner tavern located in the Sternschanze area with over forty years of history. Dubbed a "Hamburg legend" by local media, it stays open until late at night, and even all night starting from Friday. The signatures are various types of schnitzel, including authentic Wiener Schnitzel, alongside pickled herring, rump steak, homemade sour meat jelly (Sauerfleisch), and raw minced pork rolls (Mettbrötchen), served with fried potatoes or fries. Portions are huge, so there's no need to order starters. It is highly popular and casual; local guides say it is almost impossible to get a table without a reservation. The weekday lunch rump steak is about €19. Some reports indicate they only accept cash, so it is recommended to bring cash.
