Design Hotels Now Have Meat Lockers On View (At Least In Hamburg)
No prizes for guessing what the menu focuses on at a restaurant called the [m]eatery. Yep, it's the perfect restaurant for meat-lovers and it's just opened at the SIDE Hotel in Hamburg, northern Germany, which is part of the Design Hotels group. Basically, it's a fancy steakhouse with a bunch of steak and burgers to choose from (cue jokes about eating a hamburger in Hamburg), but it also offers fish steaks and a couple of vegetarian choices.
The big selling point for the [m]eatery is that it's also got a special meat locker room where you can see the dry-aging process for the meat. Looking through a glass wall, you can watch meat dry ... but be aware that it takes even longer than watching paint dry – they store the meat for about four weeks under specific temperature conditions, which is said to make the steaks more tender and with a more intense flavor.
Before or after your steak, you can also grab a cocktail at the [m]eatery bar which is just next to the restaurant. Although a cocktail bar that's called [m]eatery does strike us as a bit odd.
In any case, the SIDE has an upgrade special going at the moment, so if you plan on spending the night after your steak experience, you can get a guaranteed upgrade to the next room category for stays until March 28, 2010, but you have to stay at least two nights. Room rates start at €135 ($200) for advance purchase rates.
