Fantastic food with nice home cooking ambience in the Portuguese restaurant row of Hamburg. Highly…read morerecommend the shrimp with capers. Service was fast and the food was authentic and not expensive.

Given the high praise for this place here on Yelp, we were pretty disappointed with our experience…read morehere. Maybe we were there on an off-night or the dish we got (paella) was just not their thing. We shared a single meat/seafood paella with a small pitcher of sangria. The fact that it had pork instead of chorizo or something a bit more authentic was a little weird. That aside, though, the dish was a mix of blandness and over-saltiness (possibly to make up for the blandness?). Gordon Ramsey would have definitely had one of his overly dramatic fits over this dish. Service was present but not friendly or engaging by any means. Our German was mostly non-existent at that point though, so that could have been the reason. That said, they weren't much more engaging with the only other table, which was German, in the place. They mostly stood behind the bar, occasionally staring out at the dining room. Place is cozy and charming, if not a little kitsch. Prices are very reasonable. With slightly friendlier/livelier service and better seasoning, this could be a nice place. As is, we'll probably look elsewhere for Portuguese dinner options.

Everybody speaks German there and they are quite nice. Food options are great and fresh, there's a good sort of sweets so you can try something different each time. I saw they also have lunch options. Prices are low. Other good thing is the free wi-fi which makes Caravela a cheaper option from Other coffee houses. Definitely recommended.
