Dali Tapas Bar in Hamburg

The restaurant looks very cozy and warm inside. The food is fantastic; we came here on a whim, and every single dish was a culinary delight! The service was friendly, and the food arrived quickly and piping hot. We'll definitely be back! Thank you ☺️

The best part first: the tapas are delicious! The prices are just about acceptable. We had reserved a table for 8 people but were given one for a maximum of 6. It's a terrible tapas restaurant; they didn't know where to put all the tapas. The whole place was overcrowded, hectic, and noisy. Waiters had to carry food across the street to the adjacent building where even more guests were seated. Hygiene and workplace safety are clearly nonexistent here. Sorry, you don't deserve a tip.

The food is very delicious and the waiters are very child and family friendly.

While searching online for a good Spanish restaurant, this place came up. My wife was craving a Serrano ham sandwich. We took a taxi there, and as we walked in, we heard the Gipsy Kings' song "Sin Ella" playing in the background. Everything was fine until we were served. The woman didn't speak Spanish or English, which made communication difficult. We ordered a Serrano ham sandwich, and she told us they kept the ham and bread separate and couldn't make us one. A disaster. Disappointing.

I went to this Spanish bar expecting an authentic experience, but I was quite disappointed. They don't serve complete Serrano ham sandwiches (the ham and bread are served separately), which is a bit strange for a Spanish bar. Furthermore, the person who served us spoke neither Spanish nor English, making communication very difficult. It's a shame, because the place could have a lot of potential if they paid more attention to these details. And the girl at the entrance treated us very badly, telling us that we were in Germany and that she didn't have to speak Spanish or English, which makes no sense since it's a Spanish bar and surely Spanish people will be there. She told us it was a bar for Germans. I was truly shocked by the girl's response; I found it very unacceptable and absolutely disappointing.

A very tasty tapas bar with good wine and good service.

The food is incredibly delicious, I'd love to come back.

I don't know how this restaurant got such good reviews. Two families ordered a variety of dishes from the menu, but not a single one was truly delicious, and the price was absolutely unjustified. The albondegas tasted like mutton, and the tomato sauce was like something from a pasta dish. All the dishes with balsamic vinegar were practically inedible because they used the cheapest, far too acidic vinegar. A Lillet Wild Berry wasn't served with berries, but with a slice of lime. You can definitely eat better elsewhere for the same price, and we certainly won't be returning. We wouldn't recommend this restaurant to anyone.

Typical Spanish place and very cozy with great staff

There were four of us in the restaurant. First of all, anyone coming here should be aware that space is extremely limited. Especially at the four-person tables in the back, it's almost impossible to move from your table without disturbing other guests. The tables are very close together, and once you're seated, it's almost impossible to get up, for example, to go to the bathroom. The table size is also very small if you order several dishes at once—as is common with tapas. We were lucky that the next table remained free at first, allowing us to temporarily place our wine carafe and a few plates there. When the table was later occupied, however, it became really crowded and a bit stressful. The food, however, was absolutely outstanding! Everything we ordered—from the bread with aioli to the tapas—was delicious. We also really enjoyed the house wine. The waitress was extremely friendly and attentive, checking in regularly and giving good recommendations. The food arrived quickly, and overall, the service was smooth. After about 90 minutes, we were finished, and we were given a friendly, yet noticeable, signal that the table would soon be reassigned. Understandable, given that it was a Saturday night and the restaurant was busy. However, if you'd like to sit comfortably for a while and enjoy several rounds of wine, keep this in mind. Conclusion: A great restaurant with fantastic food and great service, but very limited space and more geared toward a shorter, quicker visit. If you know this in advance, you can prepare well – then the visit is definitely worth it!

Two people visited with a reservation. We were seated at the "show window" (a kind of plank table by the window). Sitting with our knees against the heater, it was very uncomfortable to eat. The food was very good, but the restaurant was extremely busy, so the waiter barely had time to clear the table and take our next order. What really ruined our experience, however, was the waiter's announcement that we had to vacate the table because reservations are only ever made for 90 minutes (we were just opening a second bottle of wine). There was no mention of a time limit on the website or the reservation confirmation, especially since at the time of this "announcement," seats could still be booked online. When paying, we pointed out the missing information about the 90-minute limit, and the waitress explained that this was something internal (!) in their system. We had a good meal there for two people...spent over 120 euros, and then this happened... Conclusion: The place isn't ideal for two people...food was good, but the 90-minute meal was impossible! We won't be back...there are enough restaurants in the area for that.

We were there for a birthday party on a Sunday evening. I'd like to break down the evening (which only lasted an hour) into three categories: food, service, and ambiance (as I did with the star ratings). The food only had a connection to Spanish cuisine in name. The bread wasn't toasted, there was no olive oil to be found anywhere, aioli was more like a thin-flavored garlic salad dressing, the potatoes in the tortilla weren't fried (they've never seen olive oil either), etc. The only positive thing for me was the salsa that came with the Canarian-style boiled potatoes. You could eat everything, but they also charge quite reasonable prices here, so you'd expect better quality. Even with the drinks, I have to note that we ordered kiba (cherry-banana juice), and what arrived was a glass with a lot of cherry juice and an almost imperceptible amount of banana juice. All in all, we were eating for about 45 minutes, including preparation time, with two orders. As a chef myself, I know why this is: everything is prepared and then just heated up – not good practice. 2 stars The service also left a lot to be desired. Two waiters came to the table, one after the other, almost comically, and wanted to take our orders or asked if we wanted anything else/if we were all satisfied. We pointed this out, as we couldn't really get into a conversation, but unfortunately, it didn't improve. Two drinks were also reordered, which then never arrived. Perhaps that was for the better, but fortunately, these drinks didn't appear on the bill. One small thing should be mentioned here: When we gave the Spanish names of the dishes when ordering, the waiter couldn't make sense of them, but that could also be because the waiter wasn't yet trained. 2 stars The ambiance is quite reasonable, but there was a lack of privacy. The tables are far too close together, and they're also too close to the benches along the wall. As a result, a taller person in our group could barely stand up when it was finally time to leave. A useful tip: Reduce the number of tables and increase the space for the other seating! Since guests spend a disproportionately little time eating anyway, tables can be occupied by multiple people. 3 stars

Incredibly delicious, great location and decor. I love the sangria, and no matter what you order, it tastes incredibly good. I have to eat there almost every time I'm in Hamburg...

Delicious tapas in a great setting. A bit cramped, but very cozy. And most importantly, really delicious.

We were unfortunately disappointed. The reviews promised more. The wine glasses weren't clean, so we returned them, only to receive "re-rinsed wet" glasses. Even after drying them ourselves, they were still not clean. The tapas were mediocre, a bit lacking in taste. A shame… This review should serve as a suggestion for improvement. Small things can make a difference, and guests are happier.

The food was quite good, with a large selection, good taste, and variety. Unfortunately, the prices are a bit too high for what you get. The atmosphere is really exhausting. The room is packed with tables, making it hard to have a conversation. This gives the impression that it's not about having a good experience, but only about making money. The main thing is that there are so many tables, and they're also very small, so the tapas and drinks barely fit on them. Definitely needs improvement!

Great food, friendly service, and a lovely atmosphere. A lovely and authentic restaurant. But be careful, it's difficult to eat in peace here, as the place is always busy and every available seat is being used.

We wanted to have tapas for lunch. Luckily, we got a table on the spot. Very friendly service and excellent tapas. A definite recommendation if you're in Hamburg.

Excellent service and pleasant and welcoming atmosphere, highly recommended

Super delicious tapas! There's a wide selection of vegetarian dishes. Highly recommended :)

The tapas we ordered were all delicious, some exceptionally tasty. It was quick, and the service was excellent. We'll definitely be back. Note: Our four-legged friends were also welcome.

Super delicious food, great ambiance, and friendly staff. Two tapas per person were absolutely enough for three people. It tasted excellent, and the red wine was delicious.

Highly recommended, good bacon-wrapped dates, and OK house wine. The music selection wasn't what you'd expect from a tapas restaurant or tapas bar. Otherwise, the atmosphere was relatively cozy, albeit cramped. Window seating is available for looking out.

We enjoyed delicious Spanish tapas here. We sat outside on the sidewalk and enjoyed the end of summer. We'll be happy to come back again and again. I recommend making a table reservation.

So-called cocktails have hardly any alcohol and the staff has no idea how to make them.

Good location and atmosphere. Foods are a bit different than original Spanish tapas stlye and very limited. But they’re delicious. Prices are also a bit high, but it’s Germany at the end, not Spain or Portugal. As a summary, recommended..

The restaurant was busy and made a pleasant impression. However, the atmosphere seemed a bit hectic. Unfortunately, our order wasn't passed on to the kitchen at first, so we had to wait almost an hour. It wasn't until the waiter asked that the mistake was noticed – but after that, the food arrived quickly. The tapas were consistently delicious, although the portions could have been a bit larger. We were disappointed that, despite the long wait, there was no small apology, such as a nightcap on the house. Overall, though, we can say: The food was really good, and the cuisine was impressive, even if the service wasn't quite on point in our case.

Not cheap but good food in a nice atmosphere.

As a spanish native, the quality it was not the best, it could be highly improved…. The rest was good

Very friendly staff and good food.

Friendly staff, delicious food served quickly. Thank you 🙂

Affordable, delicious food, very good, fast, and friendly service—and a bit of a southern feel—great place!

It's a little cramped between the tables. But otherwise everything was great.

The food was excellent but expensive. We paid €75 as a couple and weren't really full. It's quite cramped, crowded, loud, and very warm. Strangely, it's also cozy and convivial. They brought us the wrong food first. Reserving a table is difficult by email or phone. The location by the harbor in the so-called Portuguese Quarter is nice. The Elbphilharmonie Concert Hall is a 15-minute walk away.

Four of us were there, and the food was really good. The atmosphere was also very pleasant. We'll be back.

A great place. ANYTIME and we'd love to go back!!! We had a lovely window seat. The place is beautifully decorated and really works up an appetite. The tapas were fresh and delicious! The cocktails are also highly recommended. A small deduction is for the organization behind the drinks counter. Things move a bit too slowly there. But that's probably part of the Spanish flair... :-)

Very friendly service, delicious tapas

Service was friendly, although a bit impatient at times. Food was less than mediocre: definitely no revelation, but at least not a huge disappointment. However, the cheese croquettes were rather dry and mostly potato, the lamb chops tough and a tat rancid, same for the goat cheese in bacon. The alioli had the weirdest texture and wouldn't really stick to anything, probably full of thickeners. All in all edible, but not for a nice dinner - you might try one of the other places in the vicinity.

The food was delicious. The staff was excellent.

Very good food. Since the restaurant is very packed with tables, it can be a bit cramped at times, and the noise level is quite high.

We were there on a Saturday night, and it was packed! Huge respect to the waitress who handled everything. The tapas were truly excellent! It could be a bit cleaner; the tables were sticky, but that could also be due to the sheer number of guests. The downstairs area is quite cramped. Removing a table in the middle would help.

Truly delicious tapas, each with its own unique flavor. Worth every euro!

This summer, we cheated on "our favorite Spanish restaurant" :-) because they were on vacation. But I have to say, it wasn't a big deal, because the Dali Tapas Bar in Hamburg's Portuguese Quarter leaves nothing to be desired. The alioli was 100% perfect – it's also very, very tasty here! The tapas selection is excellent, and everything is very tasty and attractively prepared. The prawns in garlic oil and the albondigas were especially popular with my family. One star deducted for the ambiance because we had to sit quite close together at the table with all the tapas – but then again, maybe that's part of what a "real tapas bar" should be ;-) Thanks, dear Dali team!

The food is excellent, with a huge selection and super fast service. The service and atmosphere are fantastic. Highly recommended.

Very tasty and highly recommended. We'll definitely be back.

The food wasn't anything extraordinary, but still delicious. The service, however, was very friendly and attentive, even though they were busy. Big praise and thanks – especially to Ina!

Apparently, the card payment machine breaks down almost every week. It's incredibly annoying. Otherwise, the people are nice, hence the two stars.

The food was rather average. I've had better tapas before. Some dishes had a frozen-food feel. Service was chaotic. It felt like no one was there to help us. Payment by card was only possible inside. Then the card reader was broken. But I paid in cash. Nice atmosphere.

Reservations are definitely recommended!

You can sit outside on the street or (which I prefer) inside. The tables are beautifully designed, uniquely designed. Each one is unique. The service is fast and very friendly. The music is fitting, and the food is simply sooooo delicious. It's worth starting and ordering again and again. If you're looking for delicious tapas in a great atmosphere, this is the place for you! Highly recommended: goat cheese with honey. Fantastic!

I went to the Dali Tapas Bar with my mother. We had a great meal and the staff was very helpful and friendly. Best wishes to Miss Ina.

Very nice tapas bar in the Porrugiesenviertel of Hamburg

We ate at Dali last night. We had a reservation. The reception was very friendly. The food arrived quickly and was hot. We had a variety of tapas. Everything tasted good. The bread was fresh and the aioli was creamy and delicious. For dessert, we had Crema Catalana. It was fantastic. We'd love to go back on our next trip to Hamburg.

A small tapas bar that leaves nothing to be desired. Service is fast and always friendly. The quality of the food is impressive, and the sangria was a delight. We'll be happy to return for the Portuguese specialties next time we're in Hamburg.

Highly recommended! We especially enjoyed the large and unique selection of tapas, which were also very tasty. The service was very attentive! We were a bit undecided about what to order at first, but we received good advice.

The food was consistently excellent! The service (a young girl) was very friendly. The tables are a bit too high for the chairs, and I say that even though I'm above average height myself.

It was okay, but not a highlight, and the only Spanish food on the menu was fresh. The food was fresh, but lightly seasoned and only vaguely related to proper Spanish tapas. Unfortunately, our prawns were almost fried, and the serrano was rather bland in flavor, as was the aioli. The service was excellent, very attentive and friendly.

We stopped in for dinner after our visit to the musical. The tapas were delicious and the service was prompt. The only distracting aspect was the dim lighting; you had to struggle to see anything even when reading the menu, and you had to be careful about what you were cutting and where you were using the cutlery while eating. The prices were reasonable for the area.

A very tasty tapas bar! And super central, in a small alley right next to the harbor. It didn't take long and was delicious!

I would love to come back.....!

delicious tapas, quite plentiful per tapas.

Everything was delicious😋 Attentive service leaves nothing to be desired We'll be back

Food was great! Service was great too! Unfortunately, we lost one star because the seating was very cramped.

The tapas were so damn delicious. We haven't had such good food in a long time. Everything was very freshly prepared and well seasoned. The service was friendly. I can recommend it 100%.

I visited Dali Tapas Bar for the first time today. The tapas were delicious, and the waitress (Ina) was very attentive and friendly. I definitely recommend eating at Dali's if you're in the Portuguese Quarter.

Very nice tapas bar with good tapas and a wide selection. Very good and friendly service.

Tapas... ...are something we love to eat, especially when we're traveling in a group. Because of its proximity to the Miniatur Wunderland and our time there, we chose the "Dali." We opted for an earlier time slot. This meant we were the first guests and had free choice of seating – which meant we got a very nice table. Since there were five of us, we were able to order several different tapas. All the dishes were delicious and, to our taste, authentic and very good. We've often had tapas that couldn't compare to the quality and taste of the tapas at the "Dali." The service was very friendly and attentive.

The staff was very friendly, but we've had much better tapas. It was too expensive for us!

Absolutely delicious and generously sized meals. I'll definitely be back🤘🤘

We received a very warm welcome. The service was great and the food was amazing. Ina helped with advice and assistance. We will definitely be back...thank you

This was a fantastic day! Good service, good food. We spent 10 hours here and all of them were good.

The best tapas in the Portuguese Quarter!

A large selection of delicious tapas. The service was very friendly, but could have been a bit more attentive—they were often too self-absorbed. The ambiance is a matter of taste. We had to sit at the high tables in the front, which isn't very comfortable. If we had sat at a "regular" table, we would definitely have ordered another bottle of wine. The tables in the back were all empty. The food made up for everything—simply fantastic! We'll definitely be back.

We visited spontaneously last night. We received a warm welcome despite not having a reservation. They immediately made an effort to find us a table, which luckily worked out. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. We really enjoyed all of the tapas. We'd be happy to come back.

Thank you again, we felt very comfortable, the food was very good, and the staff was great (thanks Ina). Not exactly cheap, but it's worth it. Nice selection, very nice atmosphere.

Table reserved. According to the website, the restaurant will contact you if the reservation isn't available. Then, upon inquiry, we were told that we weren't scheduled. No solution offered. Never again!

Wonderful food and atmosphere, Ina who served us is an absolute professional and made sure everything was just to our taste.

Delicious food in a cozy atmosphere with friendly service

Ina, a super friendly waitress, accompanied us through the evening with excellent culinary delights.

Last weekend I went to Dali Tapas Bar. It was a wonderful setting, the food was delicious, and the service was excellent, courteous, and I was very pleased with the experience. I'm very pleased and will visit the restaurant again. 🤗😊

Above all, the waitress Ina is very accommodating!

Large, delicious portions, lots of selection. Reasonable prices, and great, friendly service from Ina. We'll definitely be back.

A warm seat at Ina's shop window without a reservation 😉 Delicious food 🤫*****very friendly service ****we'll be back *****

Very good food and nice service Surprise to a late evening Take gambas😇

Beautiful and delicious. Staff friendly and attentive.

Good food and very friendly service.

Amazing location overlooking Hamburg harbor. Most of the food was not up to the expected quality levels, service was reasonable.

Very good food, definitely good value for money, friendly service. A quiet corner parallel to all the hustle and bustle. Thank you

I was disappointed that there was no octopus galicia, but all the food was delicious and the staff was friendly!

Four of us were there as a family yesterday, really great. We sat outside, but the interior is really great. The selection of tappas is great and the staff is very nice. The dishes are prepared with love and taste really excellent. Garlic tastes like garlic and spicy is a bit spicy - that's how it should be! Only the way to the toilet is a bit long at 15km 😉. Thanks for the evening!

The zander and the beef fillet in mushroom sauce are especially delicious 💕

Definitely worth a visit. The best tapas bar we have visited so far! We will DEFINITELY come back here

The service at the place was great and very nice. The reservation process wasn't great... a table for 7 people wasn't free yet, ok... that's not so bad. But the fact that we then had the feeling that our table had been given to someone else and that we then got a table that was too small wasn't so nice. Food is great...

Delicious tapas and cocktails, super friendly staff and a nice ambience in this cute corner restaurant.

Highly recommended. We were welcomed very friendly and since we are not very experienced in ordering tappas, we were patiently helped🙈 The food was very good and deserved 5 stars from us. I can also recommend the cocktails...there is a metal straw, so the cocktails get 6 stars!!!!😎

I recently visited the Dali Bar in Hamburg and had a mixed impression overall. The food was definitely a highlight – the dishes were delicious, fresh and creatively prepared. I was particularly impressed by the selection of tapas and the Mediterranean flavors. The service was attentive and friendly, but unfortunately there was a problem with the table reservation. Despite booking in advance, we had to wait a bit, which spoiled the first impression a little. Better organization and communication from the staff would have helped here. However, overall the visit was positive, especially because of the food.

My friend and I were guests at the Tapas Bar on Friday last week. Since I secretly planned the weekend in HH and hardly know the Portuguese Quarter, I chose Dali because of the good reviews and the ambience and luckily made a reservation a few days in advance - that's simply a must! The food came very quickly, the service ladies were very attentive and in the end the price was completely reasonable - we would have paid more in Bielefeld. A point deduction for the tightness in the shop, there is one table next to the other and of course it is also quite loud. All in all, a really nice shop that I would love to visit again when I'm in HH. And by then I also hope that the cocktail bar will be open :)

Very nicely decorated, large tapas selection, delicious food, very nice service

We sampled the tapas menu – meat, fish, and vegetables – and every single dish was simply perfect. Freshly prepared, with great attention to detail, and beautifully presented. The atmosphere at "Dali" is cozy and inviting. If you're looking for authentic, high-quality tapas, this is the place to be.

The food arrived super quickly and was delicious. A few things weren't outstanding, but they were good. Sitting at the high chairs by the windowsill was very awkward. The service was super friendly!
