(Last visited December 6, 2023.) Hanging out in Hamburg, Germany on business and I came here back…read morein January with my wife along with her mother. We really enjoyed ourselves so when I came back 11 months later I vowed to come and explore more of their menu! Here's why I came back... Atmosphere/Appearance: The outside is pretty uneventful as it blends in with the scenery around it, but inside is very bright, yellow, dated and that's kind of the point of this Portuguese-based restaurant. It felt more like a house/apartment that had been converted into a restaurant, but it still worked well. It was cozy and not too noisy inside. Service: Raul is the son of the owner and he was running things that both nights that we dined here. He took excellent care of me and made sure I had everything that I needed. Food: So this is a tapas style restaurant which is my favorite style of eating. It allows you to just sample and try so many different things instead of having to decide on just one big meal. The complimentary bread came out and I attacked it. The butter was so soft, creamy, garlicky and delicious. It was damn-near perfect and had a hint of chives in it. Your breath will be rank after it, but it is what it is. Lol. We started with the shrimp empanadas, which were crispy, creamy, flavorful and just utterly delicious. Next up I tried their wings! They are a bit on the smaller side, but they were crazy flavorful! They're served in a garlic sauce in a clay dish. They were crispy, flavorful, juicy, hot and really impressed me. It was hard to find good wings in Hamburg, but this place nailed them. Next up was the crab bisque that was priced so cheaply I thought it was a scam. Lol. Crab is usually pretty expensive, but I went for it anyway, especially compared to lobster bisque. It was decently creamy, had plenty of crab chunks in it, was temperature hot and there were SO MANY flavors poppin' off in this dish. I was a huge fan. Next up was the quail. I am a HUGE fan of quail, which is just pretty random in itself. Lol. This was a visually appealing dish as well, but it's served with some steamed vegetables alongside and is served with the same garlic sauce the wings came in. Naturally, I loved this dish and the quail was way more tender than the wings were. I was also was able to try a sort of ice cream on my first visit that's actually served in a scallop shell and looked like a scallop, but was sweet, decadent and just a great way to switch to sweet flavors from the savory and salty. Last, but not least, I was able to try their Portuguese tiramisu! Another beautiful dish consisting of sweet cream, cocoa powder sprinkled on top and it was so amazing. The textures were everything. Dense, yet creamy, flavorful and another great way to conclude the dinner. Value: VERY good value in here. Nothing breaks the bank, not even the bottles of wine and everything is priced for like, the average middle-class person to be able to have a good time here exploring the menu. In conclusion, I really enjoyed myself here and you can see why I hit this place up twice in 2 years when I live thousands of miles away. Lol. Make your way here to experience what I did and tell Raul The Hungry Road sent you!

BUT I'M SURE IT'S REALLY EXPENSIVE :D I think if I'd know the prices, I would pretty much give it ZERO stars hahahah. kidding :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, what we always got was: HUGE SCAMPIES ROASTET IN OIL + ALCOHOL served in huge flames A PLATE WITH DIFFERENT FISH FILETS + a unique secret sauce made by Franco STEAK, small peaces of steak with different sauces. and more. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Honestly I don't remember it all but I know you get a lot, and all the seafood you get are really really delicious. I remember I dropped the whole steak I picked it up and still ate it, that's how good it was. But I was drunk anyways haha. LOCATION: Very very small, I guess about 20 people max. It's great, because it gives you a nice familiar cozy atmosphere. If you have the money and wanna do yourself somethiing good. Come here.
