The Seebadeanstalt is about the best restaurant; it was
built by Herr Krupp and is managed by an Englishman. Above it are the
fine rooms of the Imperial Yacht Club. These, during the regatta week,
which generally takes place at the end of June, are crowded with
yachtsmen of all nationalities, to whom the Kaiser dispenses most
gracious hospitality. When the extensive anchorage, surrounded by green
and wooded hills, is full of every description of yacht, foremost among
which is the _Hohenzollern_ and many German battleships, it forms a
scene at once impressive and gay. One can hardly blame the Germans for
annexing it, however galling its annexation by Germany must have been to
its former owners.
The Hotel Germania has a very fair restaurant attached to it.
The Rathskeller is well-conducted, and was built by the municipal
authorities.
The Weinstuben, Paul Fritz, is a good refreshment-place, but is mostly
frequented by the students and officers.
The Seegarten is a pretty little place overlooking the harbour, where
German beer is the principal article of commerce.
At the Muenchener Buergerbrau the beer is good but the surroundings
dismal.
Hamburg
At Hamburg is to be found Pfordte's Restaurant, which has gained a
European reputation; indeed, it is spoken of as the "Paillard's of North
Germany.
