Lusitano in Hamburg

Charming atmosphere, warm service and outstanding portuguese food and wines. The coffee was amazing (as usual in Portugal...)

Small traditional family-run restaurant.

Food was so good! Like a warm home meal.

Rather moderate. Had a fish platter for 2. Unfortunately it was presented rather carelessly and tasted OK. But nothing more.

Cool little place with friendly service and delicious food

Small, lovely restaurant, we spontaneously went to the restaurant last Saturday at 5:30 p.m. We had an hour before the table was reserved. Food service perfect. Also that we were given the opportunity.

The number 1 in the Portuguese Quarter. Inconspicuous, located on a side street but mega tasty. Gambas ala Chef as a starter are a hit. The grilled sea bass was also very, very tasty. So the food was so plentiful that I couldn't finish the side dish (boiled potatoes, unfortunately without sauce). Two local guests with whom I spoke confirmed my opinion that this small family business is the best there is in the area. In addition, the prices are not as high as on the tourist mile. My rating and that of my friends is 5 stars DELUXE, even if the atmosphere is a bit dated and small, but that also has its charm.

Simple, small restaurant with excellent food. Owner-managed, only a few tables, excellent price-performance ratio. Danje, we'd love to come back.

authentic, good food, unfortunately very unfriendly to children. Neither a small portion nor a single ball of ice cream was possible. Conclusion: Half of the food was returned because it was simply too much, we left the bedside table entirely. Too bad and unnecessary. No extra sausage was expected, only child-friendly portions were requested.

Family canteen atmosphere offering affordable Portuguese dishes for the neighborhood.

The food is not great, with little flavor. The service is nice. They have to try to get rid of the insects, they have too many fruit flies.

A super quaint and quite small restaurant with excellent cuisine. One of the best Portuguese restaurants in Hamburg..👍

Small but fine restaurant - fish soup and the shrimp taste delicious - a recommendation. And the food is also reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Very inconspicuous restaurant, with a prime location near the port of Hamburg. The food is very tasty and not overpriced. When we are in Hamburg, it is our number 1 stop

Very nice Portuguese restaurant that is super authentic, exactly how you imagine it. The very nice innkeeper completes the package. Food was very tasty.

The first time from Swabia in Hamburg. Discovered by chance. What luck! Authentic cuisine, nice host, rarely such good food. Thanks! We'll be back!

Almost past it, small, inconspicuous, but a nice intimate atmosphere. We were lucky that there was something free at the moment. If you like good, delicious Portuguese food prepared with a lot of heart, this is the place for you. We had tuna twice that were different, cooked to perfection and the garlic chicken...that was an absolute dream...perfectly seasoned and tender as butter. We'll definitely be back.

Went to the restaurant with 10 people today on Sunday. Everyone had different dishes and was very satisfied. Price/performance top. Our conclusion: absolutely recommended. When we are back in Hamburg, we will come back. Thanks to the team and the kitchen.

Must-eat for fish fans! Very small restaurant and authentic food. Highly recommended: swordfish in crab sauce.

Small good restaurant and inexpensive

The food is always very tasty. Always enjoy coming here.

Super delicious food Very friendly service And very cute classic restaurant

Good food, but the waiter is not very friendly

This Portuguese restaurant has existed in Hamburg's Portuguese Quarter for decades. It is a family business. There are 24 seats in the basement. You mostly sit on long benches. As a result, there is a certain tightness here. It is less suitable for a romantic evening. Fish, seafood and meat are available here. You could also call it home cooking. In summer, when the weather is warm and sunny, you can also sit outside. The prices are cheaper than average. On Saturday, July 27, 2024, the boss had to do the entire service alone while his wife cooked in the kitchen. Despite the many guests, everything went perfectly. First there was small pieces of flatbread with dip. The shrimps we ordered Chef's style, around €16, and the lamb fillet, around 22 €, there was a small salad and roasted potatoes for the lamb fillet. The shrimp didn't taste that appealing in the sauce used. Combined with large slices of mushrooms, the sauce was neither spicy nor tasty. It's different with lamb fillet. It was buttery soft and therefore very tender. The red wine sauce also tasted very good. The mixed ice cream for dessert tasted too plain and the strawberry ice cream too artificial to be called good. The bottom line is that the visit was worth it and we will come back.

We ended up here by chance and didn't regret it. It is a small restaurant with good cuisine.

Good food at a great price-performance ratio. Unfortunately not very friendly service. There is some catching up to do here.

We came here for dinner with a small group. The service was very friendly. The interior is okay, a lot of wood. It’s nothing too fancy. We all ordered some food, which arrived after a bit of waiting. I must confess that I didn’t like the food at all. The lamb stew was stringy, tough and had a strong smell. It was not at all what I had expected it to be. Other members of the group had different meals, which were okay - but not more than that. I would not come back here for food.

Everything just fits here. You don't need to write more. Although, I actually didn't want to write anything because I'm afraid I won't get any more space at some point... Antonio, you are the best in the neighborhood!

Price/performance: excellent!! Had red and white wine, Starter: shrimps in port wine sauce, main courses: grilled tuna, tuna in crab sauce and lamb fillet in red wine sauce. everything was very, very tasty!

Just fantastic. This garlic soup is a poem and the rabbit braised in a clay bowl is absolutely fantastic. Found this restaurant by pure chance and are thrilled.

We got a place for two without a reservation. However, it is recommended to make a reservation. Price-performance ratio is absolutely fine! Food was plentiful and good.

Very tasty food, friendly host, good portion size 👍🏻

We are thrilled with the restaurant, the food tastes delicious, without allergens (like soy). If we are in Hamburg again, we will definitely come here. Thank you for the good food

It took a bit of convincing to get us a table outside despite the relatively bad weather because we weren't welcome inside with our two dogs. But it was worth it, the fish soup was good, rabbit in the clay pot and the grilled lamb chops were excellent.

Super delicious food in a cozy location. Great service. Thank you, gladly again

Cozy shop, friendly service and delicious food and drink

I would describe this small, inconspicuous restaurant as an insider tip in Hamburg. I admit that I was a bit skeptical at first impression. However, the innkeeper is super friendly and the food is excellent. For me the price-performance ratio is simply unbeatable. Dare to go to the store...it's worth it 👌🏼

This is really good and I can hardly pronounce it cheap. I highly recommend it.

I liked the atmosphere and the price was appropriate, the house wine is good, you pay 8 euros for half a liter, another house, "VDG" charged an absurd 17... LUSITANO has staff who serve you calmly, you feel like you're in Portugal , family atmosphere, has good flavor, I ate sea bream, cod, grilled steak, including soup... I always travel to EXPOS, and I recommend it to anyone who wants to have lunch or dinner in peace, without cars and horns... I recommended one in Geneve , had 400 thousand views, and this one will have the same success, Thank you, See you soon.

Kleines Restaurant im Portugiesenviertel. Wir waren dort zweimal während unseres viertägigen Aufenthalts in Hamburg. Der Service ist nett und zurückhaltend. Das Essen ist wirklich hervorragend, sei es Thunfisch, Schwertfisch oder Tintenfisch. Die Preise sind angesichts der Portionen und des Geschmacks wirklich sehr günstig. Bei uns in Süddeutschland würden wir für ein solches Gericht mit Salat ohne Übertreibung das doppelte bezahlen. Darum ohne Einschränkung zu empfehlen. Man sollte allerdings vorbuchen. Bei unserem nächsten Besuch werden wir hier ganz sicher wieder speisen.

Das Restaurant ist relativ klein und einfach, man sitzt im Souterrain aber dafür ist alles gut und fair gerechnet. Die gilt auch für den Wein. Die Speisekarte kam mir bekannt vor obwohl es sicher mehr als 10 Jahre her ist das ich hier war. Dementsprechend ist die Qualität gut und typisch für die Küche in Portugal.

Super nice little restaurant. Just try it and, fair prices

A small, intimate restaurant in the Portugieserviertel with a simple but cozy atmosphere. There are the classic Portuguese clay pot dishes with lots of fresh bread. The sauces could be a little more seasoned, but otherwise the quality is good and quite cheap even for today's times.

Absolutely great, super nice service (family business!). Sat outside with great Portuguese variations and very good wine

Super tasty food, very nice service, I had grilled sea bream with potatoes and salad. Salad must be dressed at the table, but is common in Portuguese and other southern restaurants. Absolutely top value for money. When I come back to Hamburg, a visit here is definitely planned.

Very good price/performance ratio. Innkeeper very accommodating. Large portion on the plate. We'd love to come back.

Portuguese cuisine very good, small menu

Very tasty food at fair prices - especially given the location. However, it is very small and narrow, so the volume is correspondingly high when it is full. Usually you also sit at long tables with other guests.

Delicious food and very large portions for a good price

Incredibly delicious! Great recommendation!

Wir haben nicht reserviert, bekamen aber einen Tisch für 2 Personen.. Sehr gute Qualität .Zurückhaltender Service, die Speisen sind extrem gut- Wir haben es genossen. Preise sind extrem gut berechnet. Wieso schafft es dieses Restaurant preisgünstig zu rechnen und andere ächzen?

The food looks good, but nothing more. The lamb chops were delicious, two stars for that, but as a side dish there was dry rice, dry potatoes that didn't taste like anything and a salad without dressing. The service was unmotivated and listless. It's a shame, I was hoping for more because of the many positive reviews. Unfortunately I can only agree with the bad reviews. By the way, things look very tepid here for vegetarians or even vegans. The restaurant doesn't seem to know anything like that...

Very tasty food, Friendly, nice and accommodating.

Super tasty food for a great price. Very good service, unfortunately outdoor seating on the street, but you can't change that.

Very tasty Portuguese that we can fully recommend! We had 4 different dishes, each of which was delicious. Luckily no ChiChi and BlingBling, but a simple, functional restaurant that we will visit again soon!

Belle surprise. Un restaurant comme une cantine mais des plats généreux et excellents. Rapport qualité-prix parfait !

Incredible fish stew, garlic soup, prawns... great service. Very cozy and familiar place. I will return if I return to Hamburg.

A small Portuguese restaurant. The whole family helps out here and it's always nice to dine here. This restaurant is really recommended, but since it is small, a table reservation would be recommended.

Great Portuguese restaurant. Small and inconspicuous with very tasty food!

Der Abend war phantastisch. Das Essen lässt keine Wünsche offen und erfüllt alle Erwartungen. Ein absolut empfehlenswertes Lokal

Very good food at reasonable prices

A real insider tip for people who love Portuguese food. A small restaurant with a few seats and a good family atmosphere. Difficult for people who want a table to themselves. For everyone else: definitely take a look and eat with everything!

Friendly, accommodating, food tastes good, well prepared with plenty of garlic. It can also be done without ordering beforehand. Reasonable prices, no rush, small restaurant, we would come back.

Class. Something else. Food delicious

Good place for a quick meal. I got the fish with potatoes in hot pan.

Were satisfied. We found prices to be very reasonable. Of course, there is still room for improvement.

The two of us had dinner here yesterday. First of all, we received a very warm welcome and you can just say that you feel like you're in good hands here. Very family-run, the toilets were clean and the food itself was just top. The fish was fried to perfection so there's really nothing to complain about.

We ate very tasty and the portions were huge, at very reasonable prices. Clear recommendation. My highlight when eating in Hamburg!

Surprisingly small but nice restaurant in the basement. Be sure to reserve in advance so that you can get a place. The atmosphere is, well, down-to-earth. The food is exactly the same and really tasty - we were just unlucky with the rump steak as it was a bit tough. The service was friendly and reserved and the prices were extremely fair.

Small tavern, with excellent food and great service. Thank you!

Delicious food, small and cozy, I think if you want to go there in the evening... reservations are mandatory. The meat was on point, we had chicken, duck and beef in different versions. Very nice staff, you can pay with EC card.

We ended up in this little restaurant by chance. Seems to be a real family business. The tuna was great (briefly fried) and the lamb skewer was super tender and visually wonderful too. Again and again!!!!

The food was delicious, the service was quick and friendly, the atmosphere wasn't inviting at first, but when everything comes together it's just right. Small shop with great food. It was worth it.

An inconspicuous place at first glance, but very cozy and small :-) The waiting times were short, the service was quick and the food was incredibly tasty. 🤤 Only recommended :)

It couldn't be more authentic. Just like with “mom” at home... we would love to come back

Cheap, excellent food and cozy Portuguese atmosphere

As everyone has said: cute, tiny, good food, quick service. My stars are deducted because I wanted to take the rest of my meal with me - but that didn't work because there is no take-out food. Sorry but I paid for it and if I can't eat MY food, I don't want to throw it away but take it home with me. I found that narrow-minded, petty and not timely, ecologically friendly or hospitable.

The food is very good. Nice atmosphere and a great price/performance ratio. I can absolutely recommend it.

Service: Could be a bit friendlier, but attentive Food: Very well seasoned and tasty Ambiance: Authentic restaurant Conclusion: Definitely try it out, value for money is great!

Here you can get wanderlust for free! If you are looking for real Portuguese food and hospitality, you will find it here. The stylish, overpriced competition can pack a punch with extreme noise levels. The facility would normally cost one star, but since you can experience a cramped but really beautiful, quiet and, above all, Portuguese evening with around 30 guests in around 40 square meters, it is no longer a disadvantage! We didn't find the slightest thing wrong with the food. Everything was fresh and homemade. The portions are large and the prices for Hamburg are very, very small! We will come back at least once every time we visit Hamburg!

Had a very tasty meal. We recommend

Small but nice. Very good food. The starters are also highly recommended. Price performance top.

The food was very tasty and the price was ok except for the salad, which was too simple for me without any dressing, not even a bit of lemon. We didn't like the atmosphere at all, it was all too crowded. If someone wants to go to the toilet, everyone has to get up and make room first. The service was a disgrace! We had made a reservation beforehand when we came into the store and they wanted to walk us out straight away without asking if we had reserved, so the owner should teach his employees better how to deal with customers. NEVER go there again.

We have now been to this Portuguese 4 times. The food is great, the service is very nice and accommodating. The prices are just great. The fact that the ambience may not be that nice makes up for the coziness that this ambience exudes. We eat there every time we are in Hamburg and have never regretted it.

FOOD is just great. The service was simply unfriendly for me. I don't recommend it, only the food is absolutely great and that's it.

Very good food! Absolutely recommended!

Excellent treatment, good food. Too bad the mussels were spicy. The prawns with port wine are 100% recommended, they were spectacular.

The restaurant is really good and really tasty for this good price

The food tastes very good, whether it's a main course or a salad. By the way, you get a salad with every dish. Prices are cheap. The children ate everything. Really good.

All in all very recommendable! Super tasty food, especially the prawns in port wine sauce were a treat for the palate. The service was also super friendly and accommodating. Ambience was very sweet and cozy. Inconspicuous but highly recommended. Price-performance unbeatable!!

Such a great meal. Clams with garlic, fish soup and as a main course swordfish with crab sauce and tuna with pepper sauce. Everything was great 😋. The restaurant itself is authentic ala Portugal. We'll be back soon

Eggplant casserole is so delicious

Always the best Portuguese restaurant in the district. Authentic cuisine. And this has been the case for decades…….

I can only recommend this to everyone. We were also very skeptical but our expectations were exceeded.

Authentic cuisine, just like you feel at home.

Great authentic Portuguese food. Small and cozy - like in Portugal. Top.

Small restaurant, dishes (scampi with capers and fish stew) very tasty, large portions and worth the price!

Chegamos ao Lusitano espontaneamente, sem reserva. Havia muitos clientes, mas mesmo assim tivemos uma mesa. É um local pequeno, com Ambiente simples, familiar, mas aconchegante. Observei que muitos clientes aparentavam frequentar o lugar frequentemente (pela forma como demonstravam já conhecer as pessoas do local). Comida extremamente saborosa, bem temperada. Minha opção foi espetada de cordeiro. Recomendo e pretendemos voltar.

Cozy place with good food at fair prices.

Great, you definitely have to make a reservation, the shrimp were amazing
