Culinary delights in Bremen & Bremerhaven

First-class cuisine and typical dishes of Northern Germany merge in culinary Bremen

Indulgence is a top priority on the Weser - fine chocolates, exquisite whites, full-bodied coffee, refreshing beer or fish and seafood delicacies. It's not just the big gourmet brands such as Beck's, Milka and Jacobs that come from Bremen. The Hanseatic city is also home to many small manufactories that produce delicacies of the highest quality.
Beer has been brewed in Bremen since the 11th century. Internationally renowned and popular - Bremen's Beck's beer is produced directly on the Weser. Lots of interesting information about the art of brewing, the brewery and the Beck's and Haake-Beck brands are at the heart of the brewery tour in Bremen. Just a few minutes' walk from the brewery on the other side of the Weser is the former advertising icon of the Beck's brand, the three-master "Alexander von Humboldt". However, small breweries such as the Union Brewery also allow visitors to explore the variety of hop gold in numerous breweries.
Who would have thought it: every second cup of coffee drunk every day from Flensburg to Füssen comes from companies in the Hanseatic city. The first coffee house in the German-speaking world was even opened here in 1673. The traditional company Jacobs also opened its first store on the Weser 125 years ago. Jacobs Stammhaus in Obernstraße is now once again the first address for high-quality coffee in Bremen.
Enjoyment has a particularly long tradition in the time-honored Bremen Ratskeller. The cellar master poured the first fine wines here back in 1409. Today, guests can choose between 650 different, illustrious varieties on over 70 pages of the wine list.


Taste the sea in Bremerhaven

The North Sea is inextricably linked with Bremerhaven. Its richness is also reflected in the variety of fish. Freshly caught crabs, home-made fish sandwiches and exquisite specialties ensure a culinary delight. The variety of fish is particularly evident in the fishing port shop window. Traditional smokehouses stand alongside modern fish restaurants and visitors can even enjoy the delicacies of the sea directly on the ship at conferences or events. The fish cooking studio offers a unique live experience where guests can become fish experts themselves. After an entertaining cooking show, they enjoy a delicious fish buffet. If you want to combine knowledge and culinary delights, sign up for the fish snack tour through the fishing port - fish tasting included. However, visitors to the seaside town not only enjoy products from the sea, but also from the air. On the roof of the Atlantic Hotel Sail City, over 200,000 bees produce "Seestadthonig", which will put you in a vacation mood at breakfast. Bremerhaven residents from 12 nations also provide suggestions for cooking their favorite recipes in a special edition of Bremerhavener Hefte.
