Jellyfish in Hamburg

Die kleinen Häppchen waren bei jedem Gang ein neues Erlebnis. Angerichtet wurde jeder Gang auf sehr kreative und liebevolle Art, optisch wunderschöne. Dabei war jede Speise durch die Kombination von Elementen, Geschmacksrichtungen und Texturen ausgezeichnet. Zusätzlich zu der von uns bestellten Gangfolge gab es vorab zwei ganz wunderbare Grüße aus der Küche, und sogar noch nach dem Dessert ein weiterer süßer Gang mit diversen Kunstwerken. Alles war sehr schmackhaft, einige Stücke stachen besonders positiv hervor. Wir haben nicht die Weinfolge gewählt, sondern Aperitif und Wein von der Karte bestellt. Der Service bei uns am Tisch wurde durch mehrere versierte Kräfte gestellt. Alle waren sehr freundlich und vorbildlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und den Abend genossen. Ein großer Dank an das gesamte Team.

Schade. Im Prinzip gut, aber trotzdem mit vielen Abstrichen. Vielleicht lag es auch daran, dass der Chef nicht da war! Wir haben uns ein Jahr lang darauf gefreut und sind wirklich traurig. Es war definitiv kein Vergleich zum letzten Jahr. Schade! Auch die liebevolle Bedienung, konnte diesen Eindruck nicht verhindern. Für zwei Personen 700.- Euro, erwartet man schon einen schönen Abend.

Absolute enjoyment. I'll definitely come back here.

We enjoyed the 3-course menu as part of the gourmet summer. My wife and I were absolutely thrilled. The dishes are visually wonderfully designed and really are a taste explosion. In addition, the service was just right. Courteous but not intrusive. A special experience that is worth every euro.

Service not good for a star restaurant - Starter and dessert very good, main course nothing special - we waited 25 minutes before we were even served - the wrong wine was accidentally poured into my full wine glass; We received an apology for this, but no compensation (I would have at least expected a new glass of wine from the open ones) - generally no proactive service; we had to ask several times (café etc.) - A water glass was missing from the table

The five of us enjoyed the gourmet summer menu and “spruced it up” with the additional optional two courses. The service was confident and friendly and relaxed. Attractive, extensive wine list that also includes affordable wines. The bread for the hoummus pot was a bit dry and not spectacular. There was no amuse-gueule, which is probably due to the “bargain format”, after all, the regular star menu costs around three times as much. The composition of the menu wasn't entirely convincing, as the two main courses were very rich and tended to be a bit heavy. The prawns to start with were a burst of flavors, as was the carrot soup. The same tends to apply to the dessert (mint sorbet and “chocolate creme brulée”), which, however, lacked a bit of sophistication. The gourmet summer menu is a good opportunity to get to know the Jellyfish cuisine. Two main courses should only be chosen if you want to indulge in a little gluttony at the same time...

Perfect, excellent food. Very nice staff, absolutely recommended.

The **Jellyfish** in Hamburg is a true jewel of the northern German gastronomy scene. This restaurant impresses with an impressive combination of creative fish cuisine and regional ingredients of the highest quality. The atmosphere is stylish and relaxed at the same time, so you feel comfortable from the first minute. Particularly noteworthy is the artful presentation of the dishes, which not only delight the palate but also the eye. The service is attentive, professional and yet pleasantly unobtrusive. A visit to Jellyfish is a must for anyone who wants to experience the finer side of cuisine. Absolutely recommended!

Very tasty flavors trip. With many taste highlights. Service staff was very funny and informal. Our Cremont was also generously served at the neighboring table. It was generously taken into account by both sides. It was actually very amusing as the older ladies didn't like the Cremont after the mistake was noticed and the glasses were empty. 🤣✌🏼 Unfortunately, we had to sit in an inclined position on hard chairs without cushions within a construction site barrier for 3.5 hours. Really bad...

A fish specialist restaurant 🍴 Whether a 3-course or 7-course menu, the cooking here is done with finesse and love. But the food is more expensive but of the best quality, and on top of that very tasty 😋

For the lunch menu you can choose between a 3, 4 or 5 course menu, with a constantly changing menu. In advance we ordered sourdough bread with wild garlic butter and we also decided on two canned goods. One with cockles and the other with Danish trout. Afterwards we had the 4-course menu with the following delicacies: For starters, a tartare of mackerel with beetroot and wild garlic, as well as a bouillabaisse with everything the sea has to offer. The tartare was served in a wild garlic leaf together with mustard ice cream (!) and a crusty sourdough bread. The taste was really very harmonious and the mustard ice cream was a real surprise! The bouillabaisse was filled with a variety of fish and mussels, as well as samphire and bread chips. Freshly served at the table, the bouillabaisse almost made you want to cancel the rest and replace it with repetition. For the main course I chose the Canadian scallop with sweet potato and sea buckthorn, but also had the opportunity to try the grilled free-range chicken with artichoke and rhubarb. The scallop was served on foam with bimi and was incredibly tender and flavorful! Dessert was a strawberry panna cotta with sorrel. This rounds off the entire meal perfectly. Conclusion: With perfect weather and super friendly service, the whole thing was a perfect Sunday! Refined but not too complex dishes, paired with a good wine list and beautiful location, Jellyfish is definitely worth a visit!

An exceptionally friendly service crew puts individual delights on the table.

Good food, nice service but much too long (1h between starter and main dish with no excuse or explanation)

The four of us were there as part of the gourmet summer... The food, as always, was very good, creative and a taste explosion… Thank you!

Small, modern location.. friendly staff, delicious aperitif, we had a 3 course menu, which was already star cuisine....greatly prepared and mega flavor components... At first everything went very quickly, drinks, bread and starters, but all in all we sat for almost 2 hours... the table was occupied twice in the evening, but this was announced when we made the reservation... We'd love to come back

Small, fine portions, excellent! The ambiance outside, well, in the middle of the sidewalk. Food great!

Always something special for us because we come here for our anniversary. To the kitchen: As always, we are thrilled by the culinary interpretations of the kitchen team. We decided on a 5-course menu. It mainly revolves around delicacies from the sea, but every now and then meat or poultry also finds its way onto the plate. You can immediately tell that the kitchen team knows their craft. Every course was crafted to perfection, all cooking levels were met and the dishes arrived hot. However, you have to be willing to try something out, so just enjoy it and let yourself be carried away by the waves of aromas. We were treated to mackerel tartare, bouillabaisse, scallops and, in the main course, the perfectly cooked free-range chicken leg. About the service: Here, too, there is a direct difference to other restaurants. The dining room was looked after by several waiters and waitresses. The menu was also timed perfectly, no long waiting times. The glasses were always full and you felt like you were in very good hands. Top service! Conclusion: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Für uns immer etwas Besonderes, denn wir kommen zum Jahrestag hierher. Zur Küche: Wie jedes Mal sind wir begeistert von den kulinarischen Interpretationen des Küchenteams. Wir haben uns für ein 5-Gang Menü entschieden. Es dreht sich vorwiegend um Delikatessen aus dem Meer, aber hin und wieder findet auch Fleisch oder Geflügel den Weg auf den Teller. Man merkt sofort, dass das Küchenteam ihr Handwerk versteht. Jeder Gang war handwerklich perfekt gearbeitet, alle Garstufen getroffen und die Gerichte landeten heiß bei uns. Man muss allerdings bereit sein auch mal etwas auszuprobieren, daher einfach genießen und von Aromenwellen treiben lassen. Gestrartet sond wir mit Makrelentartar, Bouillabaisse, Jakobsmuscheln und im Huptgang das perfekt gegarte Freilandhunstück aus der Keule zu genießen. Zum Service: Auch hier ist direkt ein Unterschied zu anderen Restaurants festzustellen. Der Gastraum wurde von mehreren Kellnern und Kellnerinnen betreut. Auch war das Menü zeitlich perfekt getaktet, keine langen Wartezeiten. Es wurde stets auf volle Gläse geachtet und man fühlte sich in sehr guten Händen. Top Service! Fazit: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

There were four of us eating and we were outside on the terrace. Ambiance was great. The service was great and the food was delicious. I liked the non-alcoholic cocktail with Ginzero best. Very unusual drink. we'd love to come back

We enjoyed a wonderful "bistro menu" on a sunny Sunday in June. The service was very attentive, friendly and professional and although the preparations for a big event in the evening ran parallel to the lunchtime business, there was no rush. We'd love to come back!

Once again I was able to enjoy a great evening at Jellyfish. In a relaxed atmosphere you will be warmly welcomed by the service and competently guided through the menu and (non-alcoholic) beverage accompaniment. Exciting culinary compositions and delicious personal interpretations (Rhenish mussels & fish schnitzel “Vienna-style”) made the evening perfect for me. P.S.: Thanks for the sweet surprise. Red wine cake also brings back memories of grandma for me.

Here you can dine exquisitely - with flavors that are finely coordinated to pamper the senses - in short, a first-class experience. The food design alone is a feast for the eyes. The atmosphere is very cozy. With not too many tables in the restaurant, in summer you can also enjoy your menu outside with a view of the lively district. The service staff is calm, relaxed, very accommodating and very, very attentive. Nothing is missing. We have been here twice now and would love to come back. In terms of price, it is highly recommended, especially during the gourmet weeks. There is the opportunity to get to know new things through changing menus throughout the weeks. In any case, cooking is an art that is mastered perfectly here. There is often enough mediocre cuisine for far too much money - it's clearly different here - there's passion in it, it's better to eat out less often, and when you do, it's really good. Thank you for the wonderful menu and the great evening

Yesterday evening, July 29th, 2024 at 8:30 p.m. we had a reservation for the gourmet summer menu. Unfortunately, only the waiter who served us significantly disturbed the pleasant atmosphere of our date. He seated us at the worst table in the restaurant, right at the end, where the constant passage of waiters to the kitchen made for a very uneasy environment. Although there were many tables available that remained unoccupied for the rest of the evening, we had to ask to be moved to get some more peace and quiet. The way the same waiter (with glasses) who took our order spoke to us was consistently unfortunate. At first he spoke very, very quickly (sometimes we didn't understand anything at all) and didn't seem to have time for us. When we asked to change tables, he looked at us surprised and suggested we go to the table opposite. While this table was in the same hallway as the kitchen, at least it didn't have the central position that made our previous spot so uncomfortable. When we ordered the menu, my friend asked for a recommendation as we were unfamiliar with one of the dishes, the bouillabaisse. The waiter's response was: 'Hmm tartar is tartar and bouillabaisse, eh you just have to like it, huh', which sounded rude and annoyed. The impatience and look he gave my partner for asking for a recommendation was unacceptable. During the entire dinner we weren't even asked if everything was OK or if we wanted to order more drinks - that was disappointing. It's unfortunate because the food was tasty and we were looking forward to the evening. We came because of the many positive recommendations, but the service was not up to the professional standard we expected. The unfriendly treatment made us feel so uncomfortable that we wanted to pay quickly and leave the restaurant. Our evening, which was actually meant to be enjoyed, unfortunately ended sadly and frustrated.

A wonderful evening, a lot of performance for very little - actually too little - money Hamburg gourmet summer menu. The bouillabaisse, styled like a crustacean bisque, was an absolute umami bomb and to die for and my highlight of the evening; The mackerel, the starter, was also fantastic and the entire plate created an absolute feeling of home and reminiscences of grandma's cooking and the feeling of well-being that comes with it. A beautifully curated wine list with some wild beauties! The service was casual, unobtrusive but present. If I wanted to criticize anything at all, it would be that a few tables further away were sprayed with a glass cleaner after they had been cleared and then there was a brief smell of the cleaning agent. That could be avoided. Overall 10/10, gladly again, I'm looking forward to trying the gourmet menu soon.

A date with myself alone. And I was allowed to feel like a queen! Such courteous service. Really great. It was a taste explosion and a creative food dream that stimulated all the senses. Rustic tables, small table lamps for coziness and very good lighting accents. Wonderfully relaxed music, so loud/quiet that conversations are easy. I also love “going out for a really, really good meal”! Thank you for this culinary journey to the gourmet summer. I treated myself to a holiday evening and immersed myself in a gourmet world. Splendid! I am inspired. Thanks for that!

A highlight! In this case we had a 5 course menu and also ordered a 6th course! Unfortunately, I can't describe what we were served as a single course. But the taste is really great. The staff: very friendly and accommodating! The ambience: Rustically beautifully furnished! Thank you for this feeling of well-being and… see you next time !

We were there for the gourmet summer. The food was interesting, but unfortunately the taste was boring and oversalted. Unfortunately, the reaction to the criticism was a bit harsh and unfriendly: “We season aggressively here.” The atmosphere is rather rustic and boring. The wines are very expensive. I can't understand the star.

Very stylish yet cozy restaurant with exquisite cuisine. The entire staff was very friendly and attentive. We felt very comfortable.

It was a fantastic evening, every course full of creativity, taste explosions, surprises, great service, great wines and also creative non-alcoholic drinks - great!

A great restaurant! We went there a few days ago for our wedding anniversary and I loved it! The food was world class, the service staff was extremely friendly, professional and attentive and the restaurant itself is incredibly beautiful. Absolutely the first choice for a special occasion. Thank you for this lovely experience!

Wonderful experience. The food was outstanding and very well prepared and served. The dishes and presentation were great. Service top rated; a little pricey especially if you do the wine paring; the wines are ok.

We visited Stefan Fäth as part of the gourmet summer and were thrilled. What a culinary journey, thank you very much for that and for exceptional service, it all comes together so beautifully. Highly recommended, we would love to come back.

Class! You don't necessarily expect a restaurant like this in the Schanzenviertel, but at the same time it fits in well. The food was great, actually an experience. The wine selection was excellent. In summer you can also sit outside - the street is not too busy.

Delicious food and good service in the 1 ⭐️ restaurant

An outstanding evening: extraordinary enjoyment with palate explosions and an indescribable non-alcoholic menu accompaniment as well as wine accompaniment, as well as a relaxed and at the same time professional service. Many thanks to the whole team!

I had a very nice evening at Jellyfish on the occasion of Hamburg's gourmet summer. During the gourmet summer, restaurants offer a menu for €45.5 per person. Since Jellyfish has a Michelin star, this is a really good deal. I had assumed that although it would be a menu with far fewer courses than regular, the standard would still correspond to the usual star level. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The menu comes from the bistro menu and is good for the price, but has nothing to do with gourmet standards. The plates were visually appealing, but some were very overloaded in terms of taste (e.g. the main course redfish with couscous, hummus, mint). Overall, it was a very nice evening with great service and a good atmosphere. My expectations beforehand were probably just a bit unrealistic.

Um unsere Erfahrungen mit den Hamburger Sternerestaurants auszuweiten, haben wir uns zu einem Abendessen im Jellyfish getroffen. Unsere Erwartungen an eine außergewöhnliche Erfahrung wurden bestätigt. Das Restaurant bietet Plätze drinnen und draußen, wir haben uns selbstverständlich für drinnen entschieden, um uns nicht dem Lärm und Geruch der Stadt auszusetzen. Der Service war stets schnell und freundlich zur Stelle. Die Serviette war nach Verlassen und Rückkehr an den Platz stets erneuert - vorbildlich. Beim Menü entschieden wir uns für die empfohlene Weinbegleitung, da a) einiges Entdeckung versprach und b) die Weinkarte eher Preise am oberen Ende der Schmerzskala verzeichnete. Die Speisen waren sämtlich kreativ, sehr schmackhaft und durchdachte "Werke". Exzellent und deutlich über dem Niveau vergleichbarer Restaurants in HH war jeweils die optische Präsentation - kleine Kunstwerke auf dem Teller. Einziger Wermutstropfen war die Weinbegleitung: es waren zwei dabei, die gar nicht zu gefallen wussten. Gefühlt entspricht der Preis der Weinbegleitung in etwa der Summe jeweils einer Flasche aller Weine.

A small, quiet restaurant in the lively Schanzenviertel. The guest room is small and beautifully designed, and there are also some seats outside on Weidenallee. The bistro menu for lunch on the weekend offers great value for money, three courses for €54, 4 and 5 courses for €10 more each. The service is young, unobtrusive and courteous, the food is straightforward, calm and of excellent quality. The compositions are simple, coherent and to the point, this is a restaurant that I would happily recommend. The audience was mixed and pleasantly “normal”. We felt very comfortable, my children also really enjoyed the food and were “hooked” on the culinary aspects. Thanks to the whole team for the great time!

great (sea) food & drinks selection low key interieur & atmo attentive staff

The Jellyfisch in Hamburg is a really great restaurant that was rightly awarded a star. Everything is perfect here: the dishes, the homemade drinks, the atmosphere, the service, …. everything! Great! Just great!! If they continue like this, the second star won't be long in coming. They would have already gotten it from me.

Very nice and tasty menu - great non-alcoholic menu accompaniment from our own kitchen - something very special

We chose the five-course tasting menu for dinner and the three-wine tasting menu for drinks. Aside from the presentations and the wines, I regret to say that we did not enjoy the flavors of the dishes. Considering our past experiences at Michelin-starred restaurants and the incredible flavors we've had there, what we paid here definitely wasn't worth it. On another note, two out of the three waiters smelled bad. Instead of placing the forks properly on the table, they just dropped them there. When serving water or wine, they would spill it on the table. Overall, I'm very sorry that I chose this place for my spouse's birthday.

The service was great and the food was fantastic. A great aroma experience that I can only recommend.

This restaurant is always worth a visit. The food was delicious, creative and the service was very attentive. Gladly again, an all-round successful and relaxing evening

Food and service awesome. You feel very comfortable.

A MUST for anyone who loves flavors. For us, definitely 5 stars. Definitely coming back.

So geht exzellenter Service und hervorragendes Essen. Bravo ! Das hat natürlich seinen Preis aber wen man diese Qualität bekommt sei der doch gerechtfertigt. Danke für einen wundervollen Abend, wir kommen wieder …. Keine Frage 😎

The dishes are designed with great attention to detail. It was not for nothing that the waitress wished us “have fun”.

The finest restaurant with the finest service. We compared it with our visits to Rutz and Steirereck and found that it was on par, to use this hackneyed phrase. Really very fine and precise in every respect.

Am verkommenen Schanzenviertel findet man eine Perle. Wir waren skeptisch - vollmundige Ankündigungen gibt es ja meistens und das Schanzenviertel ist auch eher ein Hort einer miefigen verlogenen Alternativkultur geworden. Und dann der Besuch im Jellyfish - ein Abend des Genusses ohne jeden Makel. Wunderbare Speisen sehr präzise angerichtet, bester Service und die Preise angemessen. Gute Weinkarte, gutes Timing, schöne Genusskompositionen. Danke. Da mag man gar nicht mehr wieder vor die Tür treten und sich dem Schanzenviertel aussetzen.

Lots of fun with the best wines and great service

Sensationell ! Hervorragende frische Küche mit leicht asiatischen Touch, wunderbar zubereitet mit viel Liebe zum Detail und Dekor, das man auch essen kann. Dazu gute Erläuterungen über das Essen, tolle Weinbegleitung und exzellenter freundlicher Service. Dessert herausragende Auswahl. Die Küche wollte eigentlich gerade schließen, hat dann aber für uns noch ein 3 Gänge Menü gezaubert und das war so nett !

Modern star restaurant in Hamburg Eimsbüttel, very creative, mostly fish-based Dishes

Very simple and almost sloppy decor. We bought a 3-dish menu, all the dishes, including the amuse bouche, were extremely salty and we ate the dishes with all the flavors mixed together. We tasted all the dishes except dessert and left them on the plate. I think Michelin should reconsider this place. The price / quality balance is extremely disproportionate.

Rarely have we eaten so well, had such a great atmosphere and first-class service. Adjust your reservation spontaneously and add a birthday greeting on top - highly recommended and great cuisine

Yemek tadları birbirine karışıyor. Tüm yemekler ve soslar çok fazla tuzlu idi. Fiyat / kalite dengesi orantısız. Baskın tadları ayırmadan karışım yapılmış

I don't want to dine at an upscale restaurant if guests show up in sweatpants and the owner doesn't care.

Very fine, lovingly prepared dishes. Perfect arrangement of dishes. Creams, foams, lots of lovely surprises, the smooth black coated starter was a blast. Very attentive and well-trained staff who act professionally in every situation. Pleasant, quiet atmosphere.

We really enjoyed the bistro menu at lunchtime. Five people were completely satisfied. The service is discreet but very attentive, the ambience is pleasantly nice, without a lot of frills... and the very tasty food is something special both visually and culinary-wise. We really enjoyed the lovely hours.

Super friendly and competent staff. We felt very comfortable and the food was truly a journey for the palate. 😊

We went to Jellyfish for the gourmet summer offer. It's Jellyfish's bistro program and therefore probably not representative of the original cuisine and service. Before the starter we were not asked for a drink or aperitif. Well, okay, we arranged everything ourselves. We had ordered a good bottle of wine with our meal, and refills were only given upon request, which was a bit annoying in the long run. The service staff slammed the neck of the bottle onto the glasses while refilling and also spilled some wine on the table, probably in a bit of a hurry. The rabbit we ordered was fart-dry, again annoying. In the end, we said that we were not satisfied with the service on offer, even if we were only there to try it out as part of the gourmet summer. When we requested the invoice, nothing happened for 20 minutes. We then went to the counter to pay. We were completely disappointed and wouldn't eat there again. But that's what gourmet summer is for: you can find out what you want and what you don't want at relatively affordable prices.

Outstanding food, more of a 2-star level, very innovative. Excellent, extremely careful, thoughtful and friendly service. There is nothing missing here for a wonderful evening or a very relaxed, enjoyable lunch.

Very expensive menus and overpriced wine. Too much tweezers in the kitchen and no dish that tastes good. You can sell a catfish as a sustainable fish but it has to taste good!!

Simply delicious, lovingly and creatively prepared, the wine accompaniment and presentation excellent. The service was very attentive, very good presentation of the individual dishes. Thank you to everyone who gave us such a lovely evening. We will be happy to come back on our next trip to Hamburg.

Das Menü liest sich sehr schön und lecker, die Umsetzung der einzelnen Gänge ist oft nicht rund. Es fehlt des Öfteren mal Säure mal Würze um das Gericht zu einem Gedicht zu machen. Die Weinbegleitung ist Okay aber nichts außerordentliches . Die Alkoholfreie Variante ist leider nicht zu empfehlen. Hier wurde eine „Gewaltkreative“ Getränkebegleitung zubereitet die einfach teilweise nicht lecker bis zu ungenießbar versalzen ist. Im großen und ganzen ist das Preis Leistungsverhältnis leider nicht stimmig. Der Service ist super aufmerksam und echt auf Zack, da kann man nur sagen Weiter so 👏🏻

Food was very good, but not always exceptional. Dishes were mostly fish which is to my taste. However, most of the courses were very creamy, and a mix of (too) many flavors. I'd prefer to have the opportunity to taste the ingredients separately, and to have more distinguishable textures. The service was mixed. One server was perfect, on point, without putting himself in the center of attention. The other, not so much. Pairing wines were good.

Insanely good food, every bit was an experience. In addition, the staff is super nice and special requests are addressed with a lot of respect and friendliness. Definitely recommended for a special evening.

Wir suchten zum Geburtstagsessen ein Sternerestaurant, das montags geöffnet hat und wurden nach Frankfurt, Köln und Berlin endlich in Hamburg fündig inkl. schickem Hotel. Ausgerechnet auf der Schanze, wo doch meine Gattin so gerne verweilt, dann noch (fast) ohne Fleisch hatten wir eines der tollsten Menüs ever und zwar im Jellyfish. Der Service so nah am Gast, schöne Weinbegleitung und das Aromenspektakel sensationell. Hier wird mit voller Breitseite aufgefahren, was Extrakte der verarbeiteten Gemüse, Fische, Kräuter und Gewürze drauf haben, ohne aber aufdringlich zu wirken. Ein Spiel von Schärfe, Säure, Süße, Umami sehr professionell auf den Tellern in vielen unterschiedlichen Texturen angerichtet. Ein Hauch von Säure in einer Sphäre, Farbenspiele in einer Dashibrühe. Es war schlicht sensationell. Da soll doch das Reifenmännchen noch mal was draufpacken. Verdient hätten sie es! Übrigens in der aktuellen Staffel „am Pass“ konnten wir ein Teil des Spektakels nochmals erleben. Bleibt dran und weiter so authentisch.

We enjoyed the bistro menu for lunch. Every course was impressive in terms of taste and appearance. Service very attentive and friendly, atmosphere relaxed. Perfect!

Food was excellent. Unfortunately, in the end we felt a bit thrown out.

The food is really something very special and unusual. The flavor composition is unique, the staff is extremely friendly and a great ambience. You can try the 3-course bistro menu, which is a great experience for the price.

Excellent place, very good service, I would say it is 1A and it has the best atmosphere in the area

It was a bit expensive, but definitely an experience. Gladly again!

It was my first time eating like this and I have to say it was fantastic. The service was friendly and attentive. My lactose intolerance was also addressed. It was totally relaxed. I was invited and really enjoyed it. We had the 6 course menu Were there on December 9th, 2023.

THESE are really professionals! How I put into words our evening with the 8-course menu, whose performance we experienced, can hardly be described, you can read it on the media blog TouchYou.de...

Highly recommended the 8 course menu. Super delicious and unique designs. A pice of art.

Very varied dishes, good-humoured service, suitable wine accompaniment. We had the 4-course menu.

Dedicated, warm team with expertise. Quite expensive, of course; but it's worth it.

Very tasty and very great and attentive service. We were there for the second time and I can only recommend it ❤️

Fantastic dining, excellent and creative cuisine. Somewhat hard to distinguish squirks, yet fabulous combinations full of surprises. Thank you!

Sehr kreative feine Küche, wunderschön angerichtet, großzügig, toller Service

Danke Jellyfish-Team, für diesen wundervollen Abend! Wir waren heute das erste Mal bei euch, das Essen und der gesamte Abend, war ein Erlebnis und wir sind nun satt, müde und absolut glücklich. So viele Geschmacksrichtungen die zusammen etwas Wundervolles ergeben haben, dazu die lockere Atmosphäre im Restaurant und die wahnsinnig sympathisch en Jungs, die immer zur Stelle aber nie aufdringlich waren. Ein besonderer Abend, mit besonderem Essen, in einem besonderen Restaurant. Danke dafür. ..und der Mann bekam Bier, genug Brot war auch da ^^

Gwiazdka Michelin zoobowiązuje, więc spodziewałem się dużo bazując na poprzednich rekomendacjach przewodnika. Na początek plusy: - profesjonalna obsługa, miła, nienachalna, indywidualna, zawsze w punkt. Zaangażowana, włącznie z szefem kuchni. - wygląd dań - tu absolutnie się nie zawiedliśmy. Widać ogromny kunszt, doskonałe zdolności techniczne, dbałość o każdy szczegół - jakość produktów - w mojej ocenie doskonała Minusy: - Smaki. Dla nas były zwyczajnie za mocne. Ogrom umami, który bije od pierwszych kęsów. Nawet w czekadełku. O ile na początku to przyjemne zaskoczenie, to dalej jest co najmniej tak samo mocno. Do tego stopnia, że w daniach końcowych, w których spodziewasz się już łagodności i opadania siły smaku, zdarzają się nieprzyjemnie wręcz mocne akcenty. Przekreślające kunszt potrawy i wyrafinowanie dodatków. - Połączenia. Bardzo mocne smaki z wyrafinowanymi. Np. Saint-Jacques na ultramocnym wywarze z borowików. Musieliśmy to zjeść osobno. Podsumowując: Profesjonalne podejście do kuchni, ale doskwiera brak kunsztu w łączeniu smaków i wyważeniu potraw. Po restauracji tej klasy spodziewałbym się znacznie więcej.

Sehr, sehr gute Speisen, unschlagbares Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis im Lunchmenü am Wochenende, ordentliche Weinkarte, lockerer, trotzdem hochprofessioneller Service

We had a pretty nice time here. Very accommodated service nice starters and desserts. We found some dishes a bit too salty but overall experience was pleasant. The price was quite affordable for lunch menu.

I can highly recommend the lunch they offer on weekends. Three courses for a great price. We had such a wonderful meal here that makes us want to come back for their entire tasting menu! We both were stunned by their plating - everything just looked wonderful.

Klein und fein! Charmantes Lokal mit ca. 10 Tischen; Spezialität ist sicher alles aus dem Wasser; es gibt aber auch eine vegetarische und eine Fleischalternative auf der Karte; Es gibt ein tolles Menü, die Zahl der Gänge 4-6-8 wählbar; tolle Kreationen, Service Tipp Tipp und bestens gelaunt - wir haben uns einfach wohl gefühlt.

Wir hatten das Schlemmer-Sommermenü gebucht, es war unser erster Besuch im jellyfish und nicht der letzte. Es stimmte alles (eine Ausnahme am Ende), von der Begrüßung/ locker, freundlich/, dem Service/flott/kompetent/, vor allem: den Speisen/ vorzüglich/, den Getränken/ bestens temperiert/, der Sommelière/ höchst kompetent bis hin zur Raumgestaltung! Einzige Ausnahme: auch wenn wir "nur" das günstige Menü gebucht hatten, wäre ein Gruß aus der Küche nett gewesen. "Ohne" gibt es Gäste 1. und 2. Klasse (wobei die Getränke ja nicht inkludiert waren, also Vollpreis: Champagner 18,50, Wein 50,00 ...). Aber nix ist ja so gut, als dass es nicht noch verbessert werden könnte).

Auch wir hatten heute das Sommer Schlemmermenü bestellt, um das Restaurant zu testen, um ggf. ein weiteres Mal für das 8 Gänge Menü zu kommen. Das Essen war sehr lecker, aber insgesamt kein Wow-Erlebnis. Die Wan Tan Vorspeise war sehr lecker, die Fischsuppe hingegen okay. Die Hauptspeise (Felsenpulpo) war faserig und nicht so zart, wie wir ihn bereits in einem Restaurant ohne Michelin Stern gegessen haben. Der Nachtisch war lecker. Kommen wir zum Service. Leider ist hier einiges schief gelaufen. Bei der Vorspeise wurde vergessen mitzuteilen was man auf dem Teller findet. Weiterhin wurde unser bestellter Wein vergessen und erst nach Nachfrage nach der Vorspeise gebracht. Als es anfing zu regnen mussten wir aktiv darauf aufmerksam machen und fragen, ob wir den Platz wechseln können. Eine Proaktivität wäre dennoch schön gewesen. Weiterhin haben wir sehr lange auf die Rechnung warten müssen. Die Servicequalität war zwischen den Kellnern unterschiedlich. Aufgrund dessen empfehlen wir das Restaurant nicht weiter und kommen nicht für ein weiteres Menü wieder.

Service sehr von sich überzeugt, schlechtes Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis. Warum ein Sterne Restaurant ein touristisches Programm wie den "Schlemmersommer" mitmacht, bleibt ein Rätsel. Enttäuschend...

This restaurant does not deserve 1 Michelin star. Here’s why: - We came for our 4 year wedding anniversary and even mentioned it while making the reservation, but no one on staff seemed to know or care. - The atmosphere is trash. We sat on chairs on the sidewalk and had random people pass by our table often, sometimes even selling things. We were harassed by strangers. There was no intimacy at all. We were exposed to street noises, smells, other guests, etc. It’s Hamburg so it started raining on me and no one cared. The tables were some nasty used, scratched, trashy wood tables. No tablecloths or any apparent effort on creating a nice atmosphere. There was no indoor seating. Zero on the decor. Literally across from us was a €10 dinner spot with no difference in vibe/atmosphere/decor. As far as we know, decor and atmosphere count for a Michelin star rating and this place does not at all meet any of these criteria. - We ordered the 8 course menu and waited up to 45 minutes between courses. We felt a bit trapped because we wanted to leave but we hadn’t paid yet etc. At the other Michelin star restaurants we eat at, we wait about 15 min between courses. Here was 300% longer. - While the food was quite tasty, a lot of the times it was unbalanced. The chanterelle dish was a bit too salty, the lobster was a bit too chewy, and the confit salmon was a bit too fatty: salmon’s already a fatty fish, so we felt like confit was a bit overkill. Despite all of this, the food was not too bad. The steak, cheese course, and dessert were amazing. It was just a bit short of Michelin star quality. - The service was pretty bad: waiters sometimes delivered someone else’s food to our table, assumed the pink drink was for the woman (it wasn’t), didn’t offer refills, took away cloths and didn’t come back with new ones, often mistook us for needing cutlery, etc. It felt a bit like student interns who didn’t know what they were doing. However, Manfred was amazing. He was the best waiter we interacted with. A fantastic man. All in all, this is Michelin guide quality at best. The star is a mistake. If we walked in expecting a Michelin guide-quality experience, we would’ve been satisfied. Instead, we expected a one-star experience and our expectations were unmet leaving us disappointed.

Incredible experience, Michelin star on another level! Really outstanding food and the easy service complements the atmosphere around the Sternschanze in Hamburg makes you feel right at home. Great wine selection too. For me it is the number one option in Hamburg even before they got the star. Keep it up and please be a part of the culinarily scene in Hamburg for a long time!

Wir waren am Sonntag dort und haben das 3-Gänge-Menü von der Bistrokarte gegessen. Das Essen war wirklich unglaublich lecker, einzig eine Kompetente hat mir nicht so gut geschmeckt, der Rest war bombastisch. Der Service war nett und aufmerksam, die Location ist schlicht, aber stilvoll eingerichtet. Wir werden definitiv nochmal wiederkommen.

AMAZING! INCREDIBLE! HEAVEN! MICHELIN STAR DINING EXPERIENCE LIKE NO OTHER! I have had the pleasure of dining twice at Jellyfish and both times have blown me away. This is a dining experience not to be missed! A young team have found a way to offer a Michelin star dining experience in a wonderfully relaxed atmosphere. The dress code is casual, the customers from all walks of life and the food is to die for. Every mouthful hits the tastebuds in a fantastic way. The food is exquisite! This is an adventure, it is ART on a plate and the food exceeds your expectations. We celebrated my birthday and my sister-in-laws 40th. The memories created will not be forgotten. An amazing experience and highly recommend treating yourselves to a little bit of heaven. The staff are great! - friendly and very knowledgable. The chefs come out and introduce each course so you feel a connection to the kitchen. If you want a dining experience you will never forget Jellyfish is the restaurant for you! :-)

WOW! Was ein Erlebnis 🤩 Ein toller Abend im Jellyfish mit einem Menü, das wirklich Spaß gemacht hat. Wer sich Sorgen vor „zu viel“ Fisch macht, wird hier mit vielfältigen und kreativen Gerichten überzeugt. Super Service, der sehr zuvorkommend ist und der bestens informiert über das Menü ist. Wir kommen wieder! 🧡

Ein gutes Restaurant. Wir hatten das 8-Gänge Menü mit Weinbegleitung. Es war geschmacklich ausgezeichnet und die korrespondierenden Weine sehr gut. Der Service war stets höflich und zuvorkommend.

The overall experience is worth of the one Michelin star the restaurant has. The overall tasting menu was very good and overall it was a nice experience thanks to the service. The only “complaint” i would have is that the “surprises” at the beginning are a bit too strong in terms of flavor vs what is coming next. I would like expect that the flavors to go higher as we progress through the menu but it was not the case. I would still recommend visiting when in Hamburg!

Wir haben den Aufenthalt im Jellyfish als sehr inspirierend empfunden. Ein sehr freundlicher Empfang, Essen Top, der Wein vom Weingut Closheim spitze. Alles hat sehr gut gepasst. Wir werden das Restaurant wieder besuchen 🥂

Krug & lemon Abend. Unglaubliches Feuerwerk an geschmacklichen Erlebnissen! A zest is yet to come.

Das Essen ist definitiv einen Stern wert. Leider halten jedoch Ambiente/Interieur, Service und Atmosphere nicht mit - somit sind die Preise aus meiner Sicht nicht gerechtfertigt.
