We had 2 great experiences at Veermaster on a brief trip to Hamburg. We wouldn't typically repeat a…read morerestaurant during a short trip in a new city but our first experience for dessert late one night was so encouraging we came back for dinner the next night.
It was my son's 16th birthday and we were trying to find a place that served dessert of some kind so we could celebrate appropriately...Veermaster was the place...open late and although crowded inside and out, we were given a table right away for the 2 of us. Our server was nice enough to accommodate my request to put a candle of some kind in the Baked French Roll Crumble dessert I ordered...there was a bit of comedy when he couldn't get it lit at the table and he had to take it back to the kitchen for help. And it was not just a candle but a full on sparkler...so quite the visual treat. I also had a neat shot of Jägermesiter. I'd never had it before and wanted something local to the region.
We're vegetarian and the next night, our last night in Germany, we wanted another authentic German meal of some kind and saw they had "Anton's Cheese Spaetzle" on the menu. Okay! We'd already had our fill of vegan schnitzel and bratwurst elsewhere...let's give Spaetzle a try!
We both ordered it...We easily could have shared one as it was quite a generous portion that neither of us could finish. It was pretty good...basically a German-style mac and cheese that came with a very fresh and impressive-looking side salad.
We also ordered "3 Kinds of Bruschetta" - This is where we should have done a little more translation research as, again we're vegetarian, and one of them was herring. Okay, lesson learned for next time. The tomato and olive bruschettas were good though.
We felt really well taken care of here. We had no problem getting seated on two very crowded nights in a row. It's an upscale comfortable place to eat in with plenty of seating at outside tables right on the Reeperbahn if you want that atmosphere.
Thanks, Veermaster for giving us a great experience, and for the extra "sparkly" attention you gave to my son's birthday dessert.
