Hamburg | German restaurant | Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten | Berlin
Heidi Klum's Germany
by
Mark Seal"When I think about
Hamburg, I think about marinated herring with
cream sauce, onions, and potatoes, which is a specialty of Hamburg.
It's a seaside city, so they're big with fish. The herring is
especially amazing. You can get great herring at the Fischerhaus, a
really good traditional German restaurant. If you want Italian,
it's Toto. For Asian, Sands is good. If you don't want a
traditional sit-down dinner and want more of a
lounge/restaurant/bar, there's Indochine, a Vietnamese place with
music."
LODGING
"I would stay at the Raffles Hotel Vier Jahreszeiten. It's right on
inner Alster Lake, which is lovely, so you can see the water, the
boats. It comes in from the ocean really."
SUNDAY
BREAKFAST
"The Regent Schlosshotel (pictured) is a five-star castle hotel in
Berlin's Grunewald area. It's beautiful and very hidden away, and
the interior was redone by
Karl Lagerfeld. Breakfast at the
restaurant, Le Jardin, there is amazing. Even if I don't stay
there, I go there for breakfast."
SHOPPING\
"Berlin is famous for the KaDeWe, a huge shopping house. They have
everything - the most exquisite food cart on the top floor, every
designer, shoes, the best creams, jewelry, accessories. If you're
having a dinner party with people you want to impress, you go there
and buy a lot of gourmet stuff. It's famous, basically like a
Harrods."
