I got 139 CH posts on Berlin. Just a thought, but maybe the better way to go is to ask for a German guide book that chowhounders have used with good results.

Here are the three places that I'm targeting based on some research. May be a bust -- I'll post after I've been there (have some great places for Berlin, but Hamburg is a bit of a question mark): Haerlin, Raffles Hotel Vier Jehreszeiten, Neuer Jungfernstieg 9-14, 3494-3310 East, Simon-von-Utrecht-Str.31, 20359 Schauermann, Hafenstrasse 136-138, 3179-4660 Mon May 15 00:42:23 -0700 2006 1413690 0 Joe 2 2603801 Any reports yet?

Sat May 26 07:05:19 -0700 2007 1413963 16386 Behemoth 3 2604257 Thanks! I love eel... Sat May 26 10:09:55 -0700 2007 2603976 32424 kberger 1 2604944 Definitely visit the Fischmarkt on Sunday morning and do breakfast there! Sat May 26 17:11:49 -0700 2007 1413690 14610 bropaul 2 2629284 The Fischmarkt figures prominently in a key scene of the foodie film Mostly Martha, most of which is set in Hamburg. Bropaul, I assume breakfast there includes treats such as hareng? Mon Jun 04 16:04:24 -0700 2007 2604944 84119 lagatta 3 2633174 Not mandatory, but I'm sure they are available! Tue Jun 05 17:59:11 -0700 2007 2629284 14610 bropaul 1 3064602 There are a bunch of Portuguese places along Ditmar-Koel-Straße; the one I picked randomly "Porto," wasn't all that great, but I have a feeling some of the others might be good. Anyone know? Wed Oct 24 16:55:26 -0700 2007 1413690 118063 kagi
