The Special Connection

Why it’s on the route

The Special Connection is a café-bistro at the Fischmarkt in Altona, run by Katja and Jean-Baptiste Fraydenberg, whose different home countries shaped the concept. It serves gently roasted specialty coffee, including filter, with a brunch menu of seasonal dishes made from regional produce, many vegetarian and some vegan or gluten-free. On clear days there are views over the Elbe; inside is a warm wooden room.
