    High top I'd have loved to sit at if we were a table of two.
    Tiffany G.

    We enjoyed our appetizers, entrees, dessert and service! I mean, we enjoyed it so much that after being in Germany for a week, we decided to come back here on night 8 for our last dinner before getting on a plane the next morning (and I've heard numerous times I'm hard to please, by multiple people, so twice rather than continuing to explore new restaurants IS saying something)! The restaurant was cute and cozy, clean and inviting! We made reservations on Open Table and and had no issues with being seated right away when we arrived. I was so happy to see this place recommended in a blog from someone who moved to Germany and landed in Hamburg that I actually reached out to see if she had any other recommendations that we'd possibly love as much, and after checking them and the types of food out, I knew I had to come back here rather than taking the other recommendations. She noted that when she has visitors fly in to visit, this is an experience and she takes them here! I totally understand and get it, and this is the type of place I'd want to be taken to if I were visiting someone that lives in another state or country! The menu wasn't in English, so we did have to ask some questions to clarify after trying the app on our phones or having google translate the menu from their site to English, and we did well! The pulpo (octopus) appetizer was amazing, I mean so good my mom said she may just order two for dinner if we went back! The shrimp appetizer was also delish, and my fiancé ordered it again the second time we went back as well! I ordered the same wine, appetizer, salmon entree, and Luftige Mascarpone Creme dessert on both visits! I mean, it was pure perfection and I didn't want to risk ordering anything I didn't love as much as my first visit here! The dessert had chocolate on top, a delectable berry sorbet or gelato (can't recall which), basil, biscotti, I mean it was heavenly and I'd be in trouble with my health goals if I could get my hands on this daily or weekly (as in I'm glad this restaurant is not down the street from my home, LOL). I truly can't say enough good things about this place and the food. The lemon foam that came with the salmon was delicious and the perfect hint of lemon flavor for the dish. Our server, Alice, was helpful and attentive. Go, if you're close enough to get here, or traveling to Hamburg, do not miss this place! If you do, you should regret it! Oh, the last night we went my fiancé switched from seafood which he ordered the first night, to their steak, and it was also amazing! Tender, seasoned well and cooked perfectly (medium rare). I mean, if we had another week I'd have gone back and ordered the steak! It was so flavorful and I'm so grateful I got to taste a bite of it!

    Calamari! Soo good

    Liman you caught me off guard. Out of all the places In Europe I'd have to say this was hands down the tastiest meal. Shrimp gambas. Wow. The sauce is insanely amazing. It was creamy and had lots of flavor. The shrimps were huge and tasted super fresh. Only regret was not going with the bigger order.5/5 Calamari. Another dish executed beautifully. Loved the tomatoes and the vegetable that were sautéed into a nice hearty sauce. 5/5 Main plate: Came with salmon and another fish ( forgot which one =\ ) It was probably the best fish I've tried. It was super moist and melted in my mouth . Was flavorful. The potatoes were super good as well. I loved the mayo dipping sauce. Definitely does not taste like the mayo back home. Overall if you're in Hamburg and looking for a satisfying meal come to Limans! The food is phenomenal and service here is great.

    What I ordered (Lunch menu): 1) Salmon on salad 12€ 2) Fish and Chips What I liked: 1) the salmon was super fresh, juicy and perfectly grilled! Truly amazing! The salad was perfectly done and the dressing super tasty! All for 12€ is an incredible deal and worth a 5 star rating What to consider: 1) everything outside the lunch menu can be very pricey. I'd only come for their lunch menu otherwise the price-value ratio which makes the lunch part so attractive will get totally out of balance. 2) the fish of the fish and chips is not battered. It's just grilled fish more or less. I missed the battered crunchy part that was not there. I'd skip that for sure next time. The Remoulade was not super tasty but the garlic mayo was. Conclusion: I'd definetly order the salad and salmon again for 12€ - that was amazing and a good size with two pieces of grilled salmon. I'd only come during lunch time. If you are looking for Backfisch or fish and chips, skip this place

    very casual little restaurant. designed like a mix between a kebab takeaway and a paris cafe it actually works really well. Reasonable prices and the food was very tasty. Recommended for a quick informal dinner.

    Fish soup. Very nice!

    This little restaurant which focuses on fish is really popular among locals and travelers alike…read more Came here today at the advice of my airbnb host, who described the restaurant as a typical Hamburg style seafood restaurant. Got there around 7pm on a Monday and it was really packed. I was eating my myself and asked the hostess where to sit- she said I could sit at smallish table with two other German lads. At first, I thought, how can I do that? Wouldn't they mind? But then I had remembered that communal style seating is quite common in Germany, so it was quite alright. It also was quite rainy, but that didn't stop people from coming in and queuing up to eat. My German was quite rusty, so I didn't know what half the things were on the menu (German only). So I opted for the Fischmix which a lot of people seemed to have ordered and enjoyed both on Yelp and TripAdvisor. The Fischmix, which comes with 5 different types of fish including tilapia and salmon, was really good and tasty (also a little salty- as expected as mentioned by previous reviewers), but I enjoyed the flavors and the dipping sauces to add to the fish. The Fischmix comes with a side of sautéed vegetables, which I ate with each bite of fish with some of the dipping sauce. Also, each fish entree comes with a salad, bread that's topped with pesto, and potatoes (which I chose the "chips" option). Definitely a hearty meal and well worth the €11.90 for my Fischmix entree. I'd definitely want to come back here again sometime on another trip to Hamburg and try all the other fish dishes. Hopefully next time I'll have more time and pop by Karofisch again soon!

The vegetables are dripping in fat and the fish soup is 1/5 oil 2) the fish soup was disappointing but the fish was fresh 3) the portion sizes are smaller than expected. How is it compared to schabi? 1) Better in atmosphere and choices and their fish and chips and sauces + free bread 2) Worse in how it's grilled, freshness and too oily However both schabi and Karo are cheaper but both didn't convinced me in their taste and made of of their fish m chips.

The fish is on display and brought in daily & once it's gone they are done. Freshness, simplicity & great taste made to order is how I would describe what they are doing at Schabis We all ordered the shrimp with sauce (Gambas aus der Pfanne). You get a salad with the entree. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce (with a little spicy kick) was more like a rich, creamy soup that went nicely with the fresh bread. The potatoes on the side were very tasty also. It was a sunny but cool (almost spring day) and eating that fabulous shrimp dish sitting at bench tables outside was amazing! A great seafood stop & hidden gem in Sternschanze!

People like up and they push you to eat and leave. You get your fish thrown on your plate to finish it as quick as possible while you have people around you starring at you to finish up quick. The spaces are so tight that you almost sit on the labs of your neighbor. The fish and chips.. the fish was not tasty. It was not baked properly. Karo Fisch was better but also not great, Karo Fisch Fish and chips was more crunchy and we liked that more. However we felt that Schabi had fresher fish and grilled it better with less oil than karo Fisch. Karo Fisch im the other hand had more choices, sauces and was way more comfortable and pleasant to eat
