Specialties from around the world, charming cafés and bistros, rustic pubs and inns, stylish bars and restaurants—the diverse culinary scene guarantees culinary delights for every taste and budget. From A for Afghan to Z for Cypriot, creative chefs invite you to dine. Discerning gourmets will delight in haute cuisine that consistently receives top ratings from restaurant critics.

The region serves up a feast

The growing appreciation for regional products is clearly evident in many restaurants. Traditional Lower Saxon cuisine appeals particularly to those who enjoy hearty dishes such as kale with Bregenwurst sausage, Calenberger Pfannenschlag, or Steinhuder eel. But even the most discerning palates are delighted—for example, by the asparagus from the renowned growing regions of Burgdorf and Nienburg. A sweet reminder of the Kingdom of Hanover is the famous Welfenspeise. A wide selection at over 60 weekly and farmers’ markets, as well as in numerous farm shops throughout the region, ensures healthy, fresh produce for home cooking. Organic products are also increasingly available here. The greatest variety under one roof can be found in the Markthalle Hannover. This gathering place is also a popular spot for a quick cappuccino, a lunch break, or a social get-together after work.

Dance Through the Night

Quaint pubs, elegant cocktail bars, nightclubs catering to every musical style—Hanover’s party scene has a strong appeal, and not just on weekends. Every evening, creative organizers put on remarkable music programs, whether live or behind the DJ booth. From small clubs to sprawling dance venues, there’s something for everyone. Club sessions of all kinds are held regularly, surprising guests with extraordinary performances. The dance floor scene is virtually unmatched in its density and diversity.
