Rias Baixas II is located in an inner courtyard and is populated at all times of the day by young and old alike, who enjoy tapas and grilled specialties. In addition to a standard menu, there is a changing daily special.

In addition to a variety of classic tapas such as dates wrapped in bacon, meatballs in tomato sauce or squid rings with aioli, La Casa also serves more elaborate fish and meat dishes. Paella is served for two or more people and takes 40 minutes because it is freshly made.

Rias Baixas II and O'Atlántico are run by two brothers - one here, the other there. What they share is the purchasing of produce and the focus of the cuisine: both serve tapas and grilled specialties. The quality of the cuisine is similar in both restaurants.

Salad with fresh palm hearts, mussel ragout or corn casserole with beef and raisins: El Chileno may be a little out of the way between the Scharnhorst barracks and the Oststadt stadium, but the quality of the South American cuisine quickly makes up for this shortcoming.

The enchilada uses a mix of ready-made and fresh products and offers a wide range of Mexican street food. There are tacos, nachos, enchiladas, quesadillas and burritos. Plus fajitas, salads and bowls. The place is good with a beer and company.

Fajitas, quesadillas or enchiladas, served with nachos or guacamole: Mexican cuisine is the order of the day at Fischers on Limmerstraße. But if you stop in here, sometimes all you have in mind is a beer and soccer - because the pub and restaurant merge into one another.

Burritos, tacos and quesadillas take center stage at Locorito, but there are also some bowls on offer. The meat versions of the dishes are slightly better than the vegetarian ones. As a quick snack between meals, anything goes.

Nelkenstraße 1, 30167 Hanover, Germany

You can also just come here for a beer, a glass of wine or a cocktail and order octopus rings, olives or baked potatoes and place them in the middle of the table. If you want to dine more extensively in the Spanish restaurant, you will also find fish and meat platters.

Perlstraße 1, 30161 Hanover, Germany

Solidly made, rustic tapas as well as meat and fish dishes at comparatively low prices. The latter is a bit of a guide when shopping for produce. The restaurant is located close to Weißekreuzplatz, so it is also within easy walking distance of the city centre.
