CASA FRANCO FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!…read more I came here twice with the company I was working for. Since my boss always paid for everything. 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.

I lived in Portugal for a few months, and I can attest that the food here is authentic. My mates and I drove from Hannover on a Sunday to visit Neuengamme and see some of Hamburg. I found only a few places that were open on Sundays, but since this one was open and I liked the seafood back in Portugal, I chose this place for us. The menu is fixed and guests could choose seafood or surf-and-turf. These came in 3-course or 4-course varieties. We chose two of the seafood 4-course meal and one of the surf-and-turf 4-course. The appetizer was prawns brought out in a flaming pan - cooked just right and served with bread and olives. Next was a white fish cutlet with vegetables and a sauce that looked like chimichurri, but tasted a little different. Between the courses, the server invited us back to the bar where we could look through their selection of spirits. We could choose one drink - on the house! We found a Portuguese almond liquor and took three. We returned to our table where the next course was three different kinds of fish prepared three different ways plus scallops (or if you ordered surf-and-turf, a piece of rabbit). I ordered the seafood and my favorite was the seared piece of tuna. Both the seafood and the rabbit were served with vegetables and potatoes. We took a little break during this course to be serenaded by the band going from table to table. They played well and the passion for their music made dinner that night all the better! Dessert was a chocolate cake with fresh fruit and a bottle of honey rum that the server set on the table and said we could drink as much as we liked. Being this generous with liquor and portion sizes means this was not a cheap meal, but it is well worth the price! Oh, and when we left, the house gave us a free bottle of red wine to-go! Needless to say, if I ever return to Hamburg, I will be back here.

We were 3 friends and decided to order 2 plates of tapas and 1 plate of grilled gambas to share between us. The grilled gambas was lukewarm on the outside and cold on the inside. The texture was chewy and it lacked the juiciness of fresh seafood. The tapas came on to small plates each with 2 croquettes and a shrimp on top of some prosciutto style ham, chorizo (I asume) and some cheese. We tried the croquettes which were soggy with oil. Then we wanted to try the shrimp but as it was smelly we did not dare it. We quietly and politely pointed out our complaints to the waiter who claimed that everything was fresh and the grilled gambas was cooked just then. We invited him to feel the coldness inside the gambas and to smell the shrimps. He just maintained that the food was freshly cooked from fresh ingredients. We ended up paying 22€ while leaving with our stomachs as empty as on arrival.
