Gaststätte A'Varina in Hamburg

Super authentic, loving hospitality with greetings from the kitchen (olives, aioli, bread, salad) and tasted perfect, I had rabbit in the pot

The food and service were great as always. Very authentic cuisine and really nice service. It wasn't my first time here and I'd love to come back. It's a welcome change from the otherwise very commercial dining area in the district. It's a bit reminiscent of the restaurants in real Portugal.

Very nice restaurant and friendly staff. We anjoyed the food which was very nicely cooked. Prices are competitive and we were given some snaps to help ourselves with at the end of the meal. I would go back

I always find it to be the best Portuguese in our authentic Portuguese quarter, a classic Portuguese menu, great wines, especially the aperative liqueurs are great. Just as the service is always committed, the food is always very good

Very good Portuguese in Hamburg. Went there on the recommendation of my colleague (Jannik) and we were pampered from start to finish. Luckily I'm not a vegetarian. Everything tastes perfect... thank you very much and see you next time.

Very typical, small location with delicious food...

I can't imagine a better restaurant. The food was very tasty, the quality was excellent, the portions were large. The price-performance ratio is completely right. We were given a warm welcome, all questions were answered to our complete satisfaction, and the waiters were courteous and friendly. The food was served quickly. I can only recommend the restaurant to everyone! We'll be back.

Typical Hamburg Portuguese restaurant. The menu is typical, the food is very tasty, the atmosphere is rustic. Reservation strongly recommended

Super nice boss with delicious food and delicious drinks with fun, family service - always happy again

Simply DELICIOUS. Had a squid dish with port wine.

This restaurant is great. Delicious food and friendly staff

We were here for the first time, but not for... Food, hospitality, service, taste, etc. Everything was great, we would be happy to come back.

Great food great service Can only be recommended

A great, at first somewhat inconspicuous Portuguese restaurant - but then: incredibly nice hosts, familiar. The food was delicious - we tried a fish platter, lamb in a clay pot and a daily menu - all recommended at moderate prices. Nightcap :-) - everything was great. We will come back again. Thanks

Cozy original Portuguese restaurant.

Cozy Portuguese restaurant, reservation is important.

Great, everything as it should be

Short and sweet! Delicious food. Top staff. Large portions. Were thrilled.

Delicious food with great service and reasonable prices is hard to beat. Thank you

We were there for lunch on Sunday with 6 people. All dishes were more than convincing; fresh ingredients, very generous portions and incredibly tasty. The service was very good. We'll definitely be back!

Great restaurant in the Portuguese Quarter. Warm service, cheap and delicious food and drinks. An absolute recommendation!

A great place, like it's out of time: great service, best food. Special requests are fulfilled. The food is of excellent quality!! We would love to come back!

Immediately greeted in a friendly manner, even without a reservation. Authentic cuisine at a fair price

It is always worth a trip for us. If we are in Hamburg, then A Varina has to be there too. Hospitable and everything was super delicious

Simply 1+++. Price-performance ratio very good.

Small but nice. Delicious. Familiar, friendly service. Very, very happy to come back the next time you visit Hamburg

Always an experience, great food, great atmosphere....

Portuguese restaurant in Hamburg's Portuguese Quarter. Restaurant with a family and friendly atmosphere! A great menu with fish and meat and super bock on tap!

Great food, very nice and courteous service! Children are welcome :-)

Very good food and very friendly service

Delicious food and friendly, competent service.

Wir waren mit einer kleinen Gruppe vor Ort zum Abendessen. Es war ein Herzlicher Empfang und schnell hatten wir unseren Platz. Wir hatten zum Start einen bunten Mix aus Vorspeisen alle waren sehr lecker. Im Hautgang hatten wir einen Mix aus Fisch und Fleisch. Auch hier war es hervorragend lecker. Also 5 von 5 für Geschmack und Qualität.

Cramped in a cozy way, small, a bit noisy when it gets busy. The boss was very friendly. Unfortunately I had a bit of bad luck with the grilled fish platter, a piece of it smelled and tasted very strange and was not edible. Slight communication problems with the waiter became noticeable when I told him this and he just shrugged his shoulders. We also ordered a glass of wine and received a carafe. The paella was plentiful and tasted good. The side salad was very salty but somehow funny. The house wine and Portuguese beer were also good. A small special was priced as a large one on the bill, which we unfortunately noticed too late.

Good restaurant with Portuguese flavors in Hamburg.

The food was really delicious. Very good pork cheeks! The aioli is just not my thing, but that's my personal taste. What I was missing, however, was a larger selection of little things. I love eating tapas. And several of them. The selection here is very limited, which is a shame. No piementos, I missed them. But again: what was there was very tasty!

The food was really nice. And staff was super kind and friendly. They helped with a table even though I showed up without reservation.

We can really recommend this restaurant without reservation. You enter the restaurant and immediately feel like you are in Portugal. The food and service was simply great! We will definitely come back and enjoy the delicious food!

The food is fantastic, the staff is incredibly friendly. There is absolutely no point of criticism. 100% recommendation! Value for money is great. We packed some food for the next day because it was so delicious but we just couldn't manage it.

Yesterday I managed to visit the small but very fine Portuguese restaurant for the first time. It was a real culinary delight! The prices are very moderate. The owner and his colleagues are extremely nice and accommodating. A visit is definitely worth it!! Tip: A reservation might be recommended given the size ;)

Super romantic food, delicious bomb, super cool

I recommend calamari with potatoes baked in the oven. It couldn't be better. And then the service is so nice.

my wife and i ate paella. food was good and portion was big. yet, the owner is a grumpy guy who never smiles, he made us wait 20 minutes just to bring us the check. when i come to hamburg again, i will go somewhere else... if one does not know how to smile, he or she should go into restaurant business...

Delicious! Great ambience. Super nice service. I'm already looking forward to the next time!

Authentic Portuguese cuisine. Great value for money. Cozy, casual.

Taste partly great, partly not very interesting. Service nice but a bit special

So inconspicuous from the outside, but from the inside you feel like you've been transported to Portugal. And then the food!!! I have rarely eaten food that was as delicious as it was here and as rich as it was here. I was able to choose between braised or grilled ox and then you got both, great. Normally the restaurant should always be packed. Absolute top tip

We can really recommend this restaurant without reservation. The service is very courteous and friendly, we immediately felt completely at home. The food was simply delicious, all the dishes tasted great and were very filling. The house wine is also highly recommended, we were even allowed to try a glass each beforehand to decide. Thank you for the great experience!

The food was delicious and the advice was good. The two of us had a fish platter, first of all scampi fried in garlic. We could have been fed well with 3 people, as the platter came with two kinds of potatoes and salad. At the end you were allowed to choose whether you wanted a schnapps/liqueur on the house. We decided on liqueur and 4 bottles and 2 glasses were put on the table for us to serve ourselves!! We were allowed to try everything as often as we wanted. Really nice. The furnishings are rather simple and a bit old. Toilets very tidy with cloth towels per person. But the food was really very good!!

Very nice place. Must order the Gambas as starter, eat them with your hands!!! delicious. perfectly grilled. Followed by the Lamb clay pot. comes with two types of potatoes. They even offered to add more meat for free but i wasn’t in the mood to go into a food coma. Note that the english menu has the old prices but marginally higher. If you are in the area drop by. They are even pet friendly. table near by had a dog and they brought him a bowl for water.

I ordered Grill Fischplatte and as you can see the amount of food served for one person is humongous. And the quality and taste of the food was excellent. All the fish served were very fresh. The ambience isn’t fancy but gives the vibe of an old Portugese restaurant. The wait time is hardly few minutes for the food… Highly recommended place 😊♥️

Nice restaurant on a side street in the Portuguese quarter. Service and the food were very tasty. Come back anytime when we are in Hamburg.

Were on July 26th. with 14 people for dinner there. From the first to the last minute it was an unforgettable experience! Very friendly welcome, super attentive service and we felt like we were invited to good friends. The Vinho Verde goes perfectly with food, fresh and tasty. And now for the food: we were served a nice selection of starters, bread with aioli, ham, salami, cheese, scampi, grilled sausage, baked sardines... Everything was absolutely delicious 😋. The main courses served, on which we were also given friendly advice, left nothing to be desired. Meat dishes (Iberico pork cheeks, lamb fillets, braised ox...) and fish dishes (seafood rice, sea bream, zander...) were all a delight! I myself am a master chef and take my hat off to these professionals, chapeau! We'd love to come back!

Very nice staff, delicious food, starter and side salad included. Generally very nice little restaurant! We'd love to come back.

We visited this restaurant for Paella, and it was great. The portion for two turned out to be more like a portion for three and delicious. 😁😋 We also ordered two side salads; however, they were too expensive for the quality provided. 🫰🤔 Also, thanks to the staff, they found a table for us on a busy Saturday evening, though we had no reservation. 🤗

A really authentic restaurant with very good food and staff. Everyone is really friendly and you really feel very welcome! Really worth a visit

I've rarely had something so hot. The food was super delicious. The boss himself comes to serve. I will gladly come again

Super authentic. Very tasty food and great atmosphere.

I recently visited this Portuguese restaurant and had an amazing experience. The steak was delicious and tender, with a very good sauce that complemented it perfectly. The roasted potatoes and shrimp were also delightful. Highly recommend this place for a great meal!

My favorite place for over 10 years. Service is great, also value for money

Very tasty food and the staff is very attentive. We will come back in any case. 👍

Food was great and the staff took great care of us.

Friendly place with big portions, the food contains a lot of garlic but also unfortunately was very very salty

Nothing negative to comment about this restaurant. The fried cod with onion was 10, they also served us a tapa of fried fish on the house while we waited for the food. The attention was impeccable, they were attentive to us at all times and even asked us if we wanted to repeat and the dishes are very complete. The atmosphere is very calm and cozy, with fado music in the background. Completely recommended.

We ate there today with 4 people and we all loved it. Authentic cuisine & hospitality. Everything clean, friendly staff, everything wonderful. Again and again. Clear recommendation!

Delicious food with very nice owners. Inexpensive drinkable wine. There was bread and aioli, along with salad. The tapas, hmm. Were OK. The rabbit very good. Add the fried potatoes, hmm. I would have preferred the rosemary potatoes, which were served with the dish of the day, sole. The pudding afterwards was also delicious and you were given an open bottle of port wine to taste it with. Nice.

Tuna salad not worth 9 euros salad roughly all cut with canned tuna on top Fish platter was also not the Börner one fish had a very bitter taste towards the end of the platter I also had problems with my stomach and had to go to the toilet more often The tapas were a complete joke, all slapped on top of each other on a small plate I don't know how they come up with the rating, but it was the worst restaurant I've visited in the Portuguese quarter

We were so excited. A very cozy restaurant and the food was so delicious. The steak was so tender and there were as many side dishes as you wanted. The garlic dip was also perfect in advance. This was also added later. At the end, 4 bottles of nightcaps were put down. Cherry liqueur, grappa, almond liqueur and brandy. You could help yourself as you wish and none of it was on the bill. Even our dog got a bowl of treats and water right from the start. It was a very nice evening and the service was first class. We will definitely come back and recommend this restaurant 100%!!!! Many thanks to the entire team and the excellent chef.

Great food, impeccable service and in Spanish! Super recommended

Absolute recommendation. There is a great selection of fish, meat, wines and much more. The service is very personal and you immediately feel at home here. In terms of price, what is on offer here is more than fair.

Super good Portuguese with very good service and great value for money

Sehr gutes Essen!!! Sehr aufmerksam in der Bedienung!! Wir waren mit 8 Freunden hier und haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wir empfehlen das Restaurant in jedem Fall weiter. Wir kommen wieder!

We ate paella, it was tasty and enough for three people, they served a free roll with garlic sauce that was also very tasty and suitable for a starter. The food had different meats, one was a bit hard to chew and there was a bit noisy.

Wir hatten einen tollen Abend. Neben hervorragenden portugiesischen Speisen, einen tollen Weinempfehlung war der Service ausgezeichnet

Best Portuguese in Hamburg. More is not possible.

Authentic, down-to-earth, friendly, delicious

Great except for 2 courses that felt like 50. The end with 10 different schnapps was really good.

If you are looking for a very good place to eat in Hamburg, in the Portuguese Quarter. Shouldn't go to the tourist temples. I came across this restaurant on a side street through a recommendation from a Hamburg colleague. My summary: if you are looking for excellent hospitality with a personal flair, as well as a very, very good meal with a great house wine, you must definitely visit this restaurant.

Super delicious food, the paella is a poem! Nice atmosphere and good service

The food was very good, especially the rabbit in the clay pot. Unfortunately it was very crowded and loud in the evening. Pleasant table conversations were not possible. The service is friendly, but understaffed and so patience is required.

The good Lord must also have some culinary roots from Portugal. The evening was sensational. A piece of Lisbon or Porto directly in Hamburg. The food, the service and the ambience left nothing to be desired. Foi um prazer, muito obrigado

Super friendly service and fantastic food. Always a pleasure and a great evening.

We love it there, the food is wonderful, the wine is perfect and everything around is too. Reservations make sense

Charming and quaint restaurant near the Landungsbrücken. We were able to enjoy delicious dishes in a relaxed atmosphere. The service was very nice and attentive.

We had a great evening there as a family. There was a fine selection of tapas and meat and fish dishes and the food was very, very tasty. Added to this was the very friendly and warm service and the cozy and rustic atmosphere. We would have liked to spend more time here if our little one hadn't had to go to bed, who also really enjoyed it. Thank you very much for the lovely evening 😊

Always my pleasure! Great food, great service... everything was great!! For us it's always like we're coming home, just beautiful! We say thank you!! A. and W.F. See you soon :-)

Top hosts with passion! Thanks! Fast, friendly, creative: vegetarians, don’t be put off. Just ask: I was made a very delicious vegetarian (even vegan) plate. Of course, as always, far too loud, but that probably only bothers 61 years old. older women...

It's always very nice here and the food is great. Nobody leaves here hungry.

Wonderfully authentic Portuguese restaurant. Small menu with a few fish and meat dishes but everything is top fresh and very tasty. Whether from the grill or from the casserole - the quality is simply right here. Very good, almost family-like service. There are fancier and cheaper restaurants in Hamburg's Portuguese Quarter - but no better ones.

Delicious food and courteous service. We had grilled salmon and the fish platter. The white wine was tasty. To tide us over until the food arrived, there were olives, bread and aioli. The only thing that was left out was the nightcap.

For me the best shop in the entire Portuguese Quarter... Grilled ox at its best!

Very tasty in a pleasant atmosphere!

Super tasty, wide selection. Each dish is harmonious in its own right. However, if there are a large number of guests, more staff would be important. Tuna was on point.

Very tasty food and very friendly staff! We can only recommend it!

The food was particularly delicious. Luckily we still got a spot. There were many delicacies on the menu, such as monkfish. I can really recommend it here.

It's better to take 5 steps away from the tourist mile and get an excellent meal. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sehr lecker gegessen.Kleine feine Speisekarte. Preis/Leistung top. Klare Empfehlung.

Kann mir portugiesisches essen nicht schöner oder besser vorstellen. Einfach Super

Das ist ein kleines, aber feines Restaurant. Das Essen und der Service waren super. Ich kann das Restaurant wärmstens empfehlen.

Unglaublich gut ist dieses Restaurant. Sehr gute Speisen, hochwertiger Wein und hervorragender Service. Wir haben uns hier mehr als nur wohl gefühlt und werden mit Sicherheit wieder in naher Zukunft hier die nächste Feier starten. Wir freuen uns schon auf den April 2024 Familie H&M Geest

Avarina ist der Beste Portugiese im Viertel...Am besten Vorbestellen...alles sau lecker...Service hervorragend...
