Why we recommend it

The Table is the restaurant of chef Kevin Fehling, and it holds three stars in the Michelin Guide, the highest rating the guide gives. It is in HafenCity, on Shanghaiallee, and its own description promises a culinary journey of layered flavours and inventive cooking. This is a destination meal rather than a casual dinner, the kind of booking people plan a trip around.

There is no à la carte menu. Every guest is served the same six-course menu, named Das Tor zur Welt, the gateway to the world. The restaurant says the menu is built around fish, shellfish and crustaceans as well as meat, and a wine pairing is offered alongside it. Expect the meal to take about three and a half hours.

Dietary flexibility is limited, and it is important to know this before booking. The restaurant does not offer vegetarian or vegan dishes. A pescetarian version may be possible if you ask at least 48 hours ahead, and allergies must be declared when you book and no later than 48 hours before the reservation; the kitchen cannot respond to allergies first mentioned at the table, and may cancel a booking if requests would change the menu substantially.

The restaurant opens from Tuesday to Saturday, with seatings at 19:00 and 20:00, and is closed on Sundays and Mondays. Online reservations open three months ahead, and bookings by email or phone can be made up to a year in advance. Check-in starts 15 minutes before your time and punctuality matters. Cancellations must reach the restaurant by email at least 48 hours ahead; later cancellations and no-shows are charged the full menu price per person unless the table is resold. There is no dress code, dogs are not permitted, and there is no parking on site, though a public car park at Elbarkaden is about three minutes' walk away. Gift vouchers are available for the menu, the menu with wine, or any value.

The Table suits serious food lovers and special occasions, and the price matches its rating. Book early, plan your evening around the long sitting, and combine it with an afternoon in HafenCity or on the Elbphilharmonie Plaza nearby.
