Foodies can enjoy a culinary journey around the world in Hanover. Specialties from all over the world, charming cafés and bistros, rustic pubs and inns, stylish bars and restaurants—the wide range of dining options guarantees culinary delights for every taste and budget. From A for Afghan to Z for Cypriot, creative chefs invite you to dine. Even the most 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 particularly appeals to those who enjoy hearty dishes such as kale with Bregenwurst, Calenberger Pfannenschlag, or Steinhuder eel. But even the most discerning palates are sure to be delighted—for example, by the asparagus from the renowned growing regions of Burgdorf and Nienburg. The famous Welfenspeise is a sweet reminder of the Kingdom of Hanover.

A wide selection at more than 60 weekly and farmers’ markets, as well as at numerous farm stands throughout the region, ensures healthy, fresh ingredients for your home kitchen. Organic products are also increasingly available here. The greatest variety under one roof can be found in the market hall, known as the “belly of Hanover.” This gathering place is also a popular spot for a quick cappuccino, a lunch break, or a social get-together after work.
