When Hamburg is especially cold & windy, I recommend an eve in NIKKEI NINE: not a spartan Japanese restaurant – but an utterly luxurious place in oak & gold with the flair of a Shanghai Brasserie in 1935.

Have one of their wonderful cocktails at the posh bar and then enjoy a high end Japanese-Peruvian dinner in the classy dining room.

Of course not cheap – but on a very special occasion take your sweetheart out to a night at a kind of Suzie Wong’s and feel the heat of the night surrounding you …
