In our quest, on a whirlwind trip to Hamburg, to eat authentic vegetaran versions of German food we came across Heisse Ecke Grill in the super-busy Reeperbahn / St. Pauli area. It's a Bratwurst place and they have a DELICIOUS vegan Bratwurst served with your choice of sauce and potatoes (Steak, Curly or Swet Potato)! It was really delcious fast food. You order at one window, are given a beeper of sorts, and when it "goes off" you pick up your food at another spot.
There is plenty of room to sit (albeit it's mostly outside with lots of people smoking so that's a little unpleasant.)
The person who took our order was super-friendly and the menu has English "subtitles" so it was easy for us non-German speaking visitors to get what we wanted.
There is a full drinks menu with beers, cocktails, wine and juices, including lemonade too. My kid got a "Virgin Spritz Passion Fruit Basil" cocktail - non-alcoholic which he really enjoyed, especially after watching me drink a "real" Apérol Spritz earlier in the day.

The real star of the show was the incredible selection of German sausages - juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled. But what really stole the show was the amazing sweet potato fries on the side. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and full of sweetness, they complemented the savory sausages perfectly.
The atmosphere was cozy and welcoming, with friendly staff and a lively vibe. The prices were very reasonable, especially considering the generous portion sizes.
If you're a fan of German food or just looking to try something new, Heisse Ecke Grill is a must-visit destination. The combination of delicious sausages and sweet potato fries is a match made in heaven. I'll definitely be...
Read moreThis is my favorite spot in Hamburg! The food is delicious, the staff is so nice and welcoming, and the vibe is fantastic. There is always great music playing, you can sit inside or outside, depending on your preference, and they make everyone feel welcome. The menu is based on currywurst and fries, but there is a selection for everyone. The vegan option is delicious and the sweet potato fries are the best! I highly recommend for dinner, hanging out with friends, or enjoying an evening out alone....
