A yacht-shaped seafood restaurant wedged between the Elbe and the Altona fish market, run by the Tschebull team, with a terrace looking straight across the harbor to the Elbphilharmonie.
Run by the same team behind Tschebull, Rive occupies a striking, boat-shaped building right on the water — 140 seats inside, another 70 on a terrace that's the real draw whenever the weather allows. Chef Felix Dietz builds the menu almost entirely around fish and seafood, most of it sustainably sourced, with a genuinely serious seafood tower as the centrepiece dish.
On the list for the location and the reputation; a visit is still owed.
