    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!

    Ventured outside the central Hamburg area just to check out this restaurant. So glad we did! The…read morestaff is super friendly and greets you with a welcome Ouzo shot (you also get following dessert). We sat outside and enjoyed the neighborhood feel and summer air. We had a Greek Rosé, which wasn't for me, but everything else was amazing. The grilled octopus starter was hands-down the best octopus I've had in a long time. It is one of my favorite dishes, so I order it often always searching for the best one. Kalliopea does it just right- super tender, but yet perfectly crisp on the outside. The appetizer with a selection of various cold starters is a nice way to sample. The sliced fried potatoes are delicious. If you want soft potatoes, the ones with the ones cooked with herbs are good, too...all around impressed by this little place!

    Classic Greek! No major decorations, no shi-shi people, just quality food and heartfelt service…read more It's not often you go into a restaurant where a bunch of people hug the owner before leaving. I am sure these are the regulars but nice to see. This also isn't gourmet cooking. Its basic Greek food prepared really well. If you're looking for something fancy go elsewhere. There is both indoor and outdoor seating with a small bar right past the entrance. The menu is what you'd expect. There is a nice selection of wines and other drinks. Although I wouldn't remove any stars for this, there isn't necessarily a lot of parking in the area so you're better off biking it or taking public transport.

    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!
