Stopped for dinner with a group of co-workers while on a business trip…read more We did not have reservations and doubted they could accommodate us on a beautiful busy evening as we wanted to sit outside. This is a barge with an outside deck seating option. They accommodated our group and had a great corner table. Great drinks menu. Tried the local gin. Nice bite. Enjoyed. The cold soups are delightful. VERY good. So are the potato and the cucumber salads. And I got to play with my cucumber soup. Which is always fun The main courses varied in consistency. The Caesar salad was ok. The Wiener schnitzel was so so. The beef tartare was superb. The view was THE main attraction. The service.... S L O O O O W. At the end, we gave up on trying to get coffee and deserts.

Food was ok. Service was not good. Would not recommend unless you're sitting outside for the view.read more

I ordered the falafel-teller platter, which came with five falafel balls, humus, tzatziki sauce,…read moreand two vegetable sides. I chose cauliflower and chickpeas. The portions were very generous, so I was definitely full after finishing my meal. The cauliflower was my favorite part of the dish; it was spectacular, and I would definitely order this as a side if you come here. The falafel was good but not excellent -- I really enjoyed the texture (very soft yet crispy outside), but I didn't think it tasted as great as other falafel I've had (it was still yummy, though, don't get me wrong). Chickpeas aren't my favorite, so I don't know why I ordered this side, and I thought they were decent but not amazing (I enjoyed the tomato sauce). The tzatziki sauce was excellent (very flavorful), and I really enjoyed this along with the humus, which tasted great as a dip for the pita and falafel. The staff was very accommodating, and I liked the setup of the (small) restaurant quite a bit, with a variety of seating arrangements including lower couch-side seats. Overall, this restaurant had excellent service, atmosphere, and food, so I would highly recommend eating here. Although the falafel wasn't excellent, I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and also saw some other great looking dishes around (including a fried empanada). I will be back here for sure.

Azeitona's charm comes from its rundown but cozy establishment. Great place to eat really cheap and…read morereally good food. I had the mezze for 2 and It was wonderful. My personal favorite: their hummus! The place is perfect to hang out with friends, but it's not that big...so don't plan your next birthday party over there. On the downside, staff might have been very friendly but they were rather inattentive. Also, I had a pomegranate lassi which was not nice at all. It was small and way too sweet (taste was rather artificial). If you want to drink something opt for tea. Other than that, I can't wait to try another dish. Mucho love, D.

When in Hamburg you must try the Hamburger Labskaus my tour guide said and he recommended this as…read morethe place to do it. Personally I found the Labskaus pretty good, kind of like a corned beef hash and didn't have it anywhere else in Hamburg but I did have Bremer Labskaus a few days later from a street stand behind St Peters church that I think was both better and half the price. The restaurant was pretty empty and service was good. I was reminded service wasn't included when I paid which I guess is a reminder in Germany to tip.

This is where you go to eat some hardcore German food. And by hardcore, I mean huge, heavy portions…read morethat will leave you feeling completely stuffed. The interior of the Old Commercial Room feels like the inside of an old ship, with dark wood paneling, dim old-fashioned lighting, and dark wooden tables and booths. There are photos throughout the restaurant that show off famous people who have dined here before, as well as a sheet of paper where you can see which tables they sat at, which is kind of neat! Their signature dish is labskaus, which was described to me as "a mashup of all the leftovers on a ship." Essentially it features salted meat mashed together with potatoes and onion, served with pickles, fried eggs, and optionally a salted herring (extra charge). Apparently this is a dish that Hamburg is known for. And in fact, it's quite a decent dish, though very much on the heavy side. I wouldn't recommend the side of herring, which is very intensely flavored, unless you're really into salted fish. Oh and the best part: If you finish the dish, you even get a certificate - a "labskaus diploma"! Aside from labskaus, the other dishes are also quite hefty. Also available on the menu was a gigantic schnitzel and a gigantic fried fish -- I guess everything here comes in super sized portions. Prices are higher than typical in Hamburg, but the portions are so large (did I mention that already?) that I suppose it works out. It's all quite tasty, though difficult to finish your heaping plate of food, so don't eat too much before you get here!
