Cox Hamburg – Michelin Recommended International Dining in St. Georg

A St. Georg Staple

On Hamburg’s lively Lange Reihe, Cox has established itself as a go-to for thoughtfully prepared international cuisine. The restaurant’s straightforward, welcoming atmosphere lets the food take centre stage – a quality that earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026.

The Menu

The weekly-changing menu (Kalenderwoche 11) showcases a balance of land and sea. Starters range from a Skrei ceviche with bergamot, avocado and sesame cracker to a gratinated pike-perch meatball with dill, Holsteiner potato salad and caviar cream. Soups include a broccoli-almond soup with chopped farm egg and a beetroot consommé with beef brisket and vegetable brunoise.

Mains lean hearty and European: grilled hake with salsa verde and artichoke-potato gröstl, bouillabaisse with gurnard, prawns and mussels, and a classic boeuf bourguignon with bacon, pearl onions and pommes duchesse. For lighter options, there are two vegetarian dishes – arancini filled with smoked buffalo mozzarella, and a savoy cabbage-bulgur roulade with dried tomatoes and pine nuts.

Desserts stay true to the kitchen’s style: baked apple fritter (Ofenschlupfer) with cardamom apple compote, caramelised cheesecake with blackberry sauce, and stracciatella parfait with kumquat compote.

International, Yet Grounded

Cox’s cooking is international in scope but rooted in seasonal, local produce. The menu changes regularly, ensuring repeat visits always bring something new. Whether you come for the ceviche or the boeuf bourguignon, the kitchen delivers consistent, unfussy refinement – exactly the sort of cooking that Michelin recognises year after year.
