Portugal In Hamburg

You must try Caramba Especial if you are in Hamburg. I am Portuguese and this restaurant felt like I was back in Portugal and not in Germany. It is an absolute must if you are in the mood for Portuguese cuisine. The staff is excellent. The ambience is great and the food is delicious.

Food was excellent! No menu to pick from made it very easy. You get meat or fish! 3-4 course meal! More than enough food everyone looked happy! Nice vibe great music!

Portuguese dishes in Hamburg. This restaurant is within walking distance to the place where the boat we are staying is berthing at the Baumwall. We shared a 3-course meal. It started with the 'gambas ' or prawn in garlic, olive oil, and white wine. The second or main was fish with at least 3 kinds of sauces. All absolutely delicious. We were seated outside and it 's perfect in a summer evening. Good service too!!

Wonderful Portuguese place w very entertaining staff. Great mix of foods w fantastic fish.

Super fun especially when we went and there was a three person band playing live music in Spanish and Portuguese that night! I lived in Portugal for a few months, and I can attest that the food here is authentic. My mates and I drove from Hannover on a Sunday to visit Neuengamme and see some of Hamburg. I found only a few places that were open on Sundays, but since this one was open and I liked the seafood back in Portugal, I chose this place for us. The menu is fixed and guests could choose seafood or surf and turf. These came in 3 course or 4 course varieties. We chose two of the seafood 4 course meal and one of the surf and turf 4 course. The appetizer was prawns brought out in a flaming pan cooked just right and served with bread and olives. Next was a white fish cutlet with vegetables and a sauce that looked like chimichurri, but tasted a little different. Between the courses, the server invited us back to the bar where we could look through their selection of spirits. We could choose one drink on the house! We found a Portuguese almond liquor and took three. We returned to our table where the next course was three different kinds of fish prepared three different ways plus scallops (or if you ordered surf and turf, a piece of rabbit). I ordered the seafood and my favorite was the seared piece of tuna. Both the seafood and the rabbit were served with vegetables and potatoes. We took a little break during this course to be serenaded by the band going from table to table. They played well and the passion for their music made dinner that night all the better! Dessert was a chocolate cake with fresh fruit and a bottle of honey rum that the server set on the table and said we could drink as much as we liked. Being this generous with liquor and portion sizes means this was not a cheap meal, but it is well worth the price! Oh, and when we left, the house gave us a free bottle of red wine to go! Needless to say, if I ever return to Hamburg, I will be back here.
