White fish with the chimichurri-like sauce
Aleksei M.

Super fun - especially when we went and there was a three-person band playing live music in Spanish and Portuguese that night! 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.

Starter! Flaming prawn!

Love the atmosphere in the restaurant! Lovely guitar singer and lovely food!! The owner is very friendly and I have received a lovely rose when we finished our dinner which has last 3 hours! And my husband has got a bottle of rot wein from the owner! How can someone not fall in love with this place...^^

Woohoo!!! Simply amazing...I decided to enjoy my dinner here with my parents, we had an amazing…read morefood experience! Everything is perfect! You start with a shrimps flambè, then two courses of fish/meat and dessert. Everything is so well presented and the cozy atmosphere let you enjoy a really good dinner! Reservation is suggested since the restaurant is quite small inside.

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.

My boyfriend and I headed to this area without a reservation. We tried one other place with…read moreslightly higher reviews without luck. Choose this restaurant by chance, because it was close by and honestly, I am glad the first place turned us down because this restaurant was exactly what I wanted! They were able to seat us within 10 mins and even let me bring my small dog, as long as she stayed under the table (which she did the whole time, because my dog is perfect in every way). This place was packed but the service was extremely fast. The wait staff were running around nonstop to get everyone their food and drinks. It was the best service I've gotten since moving to Germany. The menu was in English and the wait staff were able to talk to us in English as well. They were very courteous. We ordered a bottle of the Vino Verde, 4 tapas (Spanish omellete, peppers, dates with bacon and mushrooms) and the mixed grilled seafood platter. It was our only meal of the day and still we had trouble finishing it and had to take some home. The tapa portions were generous and the fish platter was huge. I would order every single of these dishes again when I come back (and I will). The Vino Verde was great too. Everything was about 75 euros, which I think is more than reasonable. All in all, instantly one of my favourite places in Hamburg.

I wasn't expecting to eat Portuguese in Germany, but when in Hamburg... Delicious Aioli. Chorizo…read morehad a wonderful smoked paprika bent to it. The gambas in garlic and olive oil was exactly how it sounds with the garlic having nice roasted notes. The good news is that it all goes down well with a local draft, or a glass of red. The atmosphere was charming and felt like a hectic, but warm family restaurant.
