Culinary journey of discovery: The best bites in the Schanzenviertel!

Hamburg's Schanzenviertel not only offers a lively cultural scene, but also culinary highlights. An exciting way to discover this diversity is the XFood tour, which leads through the tasty world of international cuisine. Today, November 14, 2025, there is the opportunity to find out more about the culinary delicacies in the Schanzenviertel. This tour includes insider knowledge and delicious samples from up to five different restaurants and cafés. The outside tour of the left-wing autonomous center “the Rote Flora” should not be missed, which reflects an interesting facet of the neighborhood. Historically, the first Portuguese immigrants came to Sternschanze as early as 1970, and the neighborhood has changed significantly since then. It has become a popular residential area, despite gentrification, which is met with resistance from local residents. Many residents show a clear rejection of commerce and large investors and rely on small, owner-managed shops that shape the flair of the district.
