Service could have been a bit more attentive but in comparison to other restaurants we've experienced in Germany this week, it was great. Beef with garlic, which was served with two potatoes in a tangy sauce was excellent. Dates wrapped in bacon, which we ordered a second time. Shrimp in garlic. Grilled peppers (my favorite). Manchego cheese was a good portion and served with apple slices. Note that they translate their Spanish menu into German. They do not have an English menu, so bring your Google Translate and you'll be fine. Lots of very good food, not terribly expensive. We had fun. [Review 12062 overall, 1845 of 2019.]

The tapas we shared were luscious grilled squid, shrimp gambas, albondigas in tomato sauce. All wonderful. Two paellas. One black squid ink with shrimps, and one yellow. Pretty much the same flavor and very bland. Not crunchy. Not the best paella I've had, but a very authentic place in the heart of Germany. Overall 4.5 stars.

The four of us visited the restaurant "Tapas Mas" on December 16th, 2023 at 6 p.m. and were…read morecompletely unexpectedly and very rudely asked to leave at 8:05 p.m. by slamming the bill on the table with the words: "You have to now pay." We had just ordered tapas a few minutes earlier and hadn't finished half a bottle of wine yet. When asked: "Why should we leave so suddenly?" there was only a short, stroppy answer: "You've already overstayed by 5 minutes "Your table will be assigned again from 8 p.m. That's what it says in the email." We then tried to ask in a normal and nice way whether we could stay, because we didn't know that the table had been reassigned and no one had told us in the last 2 hours, even though we still had new food and a bottle of wine have ordered. We were then told again in a very unfriendly manner that we should please get up and leave IMMEDIATELY. We were all really shocked. An evening for four with friends and I tried to politely explain that the reservation confirmation didn't say that we only had the table until 8 p.m. (I checked again afterwards, it wasn't in there!) ... nor was anyone calling us Somehow we were told that evening that we could have skipped it and that we were supposed to "clear the table" at 8 p.m. I was so incredibly sad because we only go out very few times a year and had specially arranged for a babysitter I also didn't understand why we should leave right now. 5 minutes later we were literally thrown out the door and of course had little interest in spending money here. I have NEVER been treated so condescendingly as a guest, I have never experienced that before! I definitely can't recommend this restaurant!

It's cosy, warm, one these places people call 'my bar'. Food is average, may be even below average. The place is not too clean ether. Very very casual. Competition is hard: there are 5 or 6 cafes in a row next to each other. So why did I choose it again? Because it is so relaxed, unpretensious and easy, that it attracts people who are exactly the same: relaxed, unpretesious and easy. And it's just nice! Verdict: it's nothing special, but somehow i choose it again and agin when i'm in Altona. Need to try something else.

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.

For 27 euros you get a four-course meal complete with a flaming scallop starter, fish, more fish, and a delicious dessert. Mmm. The owner of the restaurant is fantastic. He's so attentive to his customers and makes a huge effort to entertain the entire restaurant. We got several free shots of alcohol and the entire restaurant toasts together. The atmosphere is cozy, festive, and lively. There was even a traditional guitar singer that serenaded us twice in the night. My favorite part of my four course meal was the parrot fish and the crème brûlée-like dessert. I'm not sure what it was, but it was GOOD. We also ordered a bottle of wine, which was 22 euros a bottle. I'd say the style of the food was Portuguese fusion. The fun part is that the chef decides what you will eat so you don't have to order your food. The fish that he served us was extremely fresh. I think this is a great place to go with some friends or to celebrate a special occasion like a birthday. At the end of the meal, the owner also gives the ladies a single rose. :) Four solid stars for the food, and 7 stars for the service. I'll most likely be back!

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 didn't think too much of it until the temperature dropped by 20 degrees while we were enjoying our meal. Everyone bundled up and used the blankets to avoid freezing to death. Next time, we'll sit inside from the start!

The food is absolute suberb, served in an enhanting way, but not overstated. At the entrance the hostess takes your jackets to the cloakroom, and leads you to your table. The waiters are professional and polite, you definitely feel like a queen (or king) in its palace... The one thing that none of us liked, were the potatoes and mini-zucchini, which tasted like something mixed with cinnamon and nuts...no idea how to describe that. Might have been a special menu, but it was a weird combination. The ravioli with goatcheese and herbs was fantastic, but I couldnt finish it (Isnt that what youre always suppose to do when dining in a fancy restaurant?!). I only have one word for the Chili Chocolate dessert with caramelised pineapple: Delicious! Again, something youve probably never tasted before.. This was an incredibly expensive night, but worth every penny!! We even got invited to the Members only nightclub just next to the restaurant...Great, but maybe they just wanted to get us out of there because of the time (24.00) and the fact that we were pretty loud...(9 Dutch girls, expensive wines, cocktails, the bill...)
