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.

Hamburg is the most beautiful city in the world but it is not there to impress the tourist with any…read moregimmeckery, instead it opens its petals slowly for the long term visitors and its residents. This is an account of such a treasure being found. Let us face it, Wandsbek is not the centre of culture in Western Europe. Many resident of Hamburgs more affluent areas may view the convenience of the U-bahn station as a key advantage of making a rapid exit back to their town houses in Eppendorf. Thus I was in no illussion when approaching Christoffers place. In fact all of this added to the suprise. Further, an eatery near a Ubahn station? What tapas delights could await, perhaps a currywurst or a kebab. Or a traditional pork steak covered in cream sauce. Yummy or lecker as the natives say. On taking this leap of faith on the back of the reports herein, I was amazed. On opening the door it seemed Christoph was an old friend. Very uncharecteristic for a German. Normally my adopted countymen take a minimum of two years before inherent distrust is overcame to enable any feeiling of warmth. The eating locations are endless, smoking, non-smoking, with football, without football, near to the dancefloor and singing or outside. The quirkiness was breathtaking and I was really set up for a very enjoyable night. Only positiveness went through my blood. Often with such starts, the food arrives and brings you back to reality. However the food was superb. Some of you may say what does he know, he is British and eats fish and chips, fried eggs and in his native Glasgow they deep fry Pizza!!! Yuk!! Well my little friends I have been about and have sampled some of the best of Spannish food, not just egg and chips made in a cafe on the Costa Del Sol by a drunken Brit proprietor. All is good and all is bursting with taste. Even the garlic mayo with the bread is a treat in itself so make sure your Frau has the same or romance may not occur. The little sardines are tasty but i did feel sorry for them. Instead, I would have liked bigger ones as the only critique. The decor is great inside and really helps with the Wandsbek/Spannish contrast. The garden is nice and quirky with the caravan brightly painted. I would avoid opening the door just in case there are any hippies staying there from the 1960s, they might smell and put you off the tapas. Now to the singing. Christoph is very much a visitor of his audience, but not in an annoying 3 amigos way with the guitars and a cap in hand wanting money. His repertoire could expand and fill what is a reasonably sized dance floor. What about some salsa or tango Christoph? You will treble your money, I want half for the idea!! In all, for me, a brilliant night and it would have came to under 62 Euros had I not indulged totally in the Rioja and ate incrementally until bursting point.

If you've walked along Gertigstrasse at any point on a beautiful and warm evening you will notice that Deseo is one of two very popular tapas restaurants that are always seemingly buzzing. The vibe here is definitely more upscale than Arcada, just a half block down, and it's also reflected in the prices. The food here is very good though and very much worth a go. A reservation almost seems mandatory when dining on the weekend, and I would highly recommend it. Having made our reservation just a couple days prior, my wife and I studied and salivated over the menu, pretty much knowing exactly what we'd order once we arrived. We started off with complimentary bread, aoili and olives, which all of were great. We then proceeded to order the pimientos de Padrón, goat cheese with potatoes, chorizo, bacon-wrapped dates, prawns in garlic oil, and calamari in garlic oil. Every dish we had was savory and delicious; ones that I would definitely order again. Service was friendly and the atmosphere was very nice here as my wife and I indulged on our "desired" dishes and observed life passing from our window-bar seating.
