Spanische Treppe in Hamburg

The ambiance is quite good, the service is not that great, and the drinks are served like they would at a soup market.

It's such a nice place with very nice service, but the prices are too high for the food.

Highly recommended. You'll need some cash, but it's definitely worth it! I'd love to come back; it was a lovely evening.

Yes, totally nice, not so much choice but top service, great location...and good quality

Service kills ambiance 2 waiters, 5 occupied tables, and you wait 15 minutes for someone to take your order.

Nice ambiance, but unfortunately, the food is only average. It's really too expensive. We paid almost €200 for one evening (four people). You can definitely get better food elsewhere in Hamburg. We won't be back.

Cool spot with good food. Will stop by again.

very tasty and friendly service!

The food was delicious, and the staff was very friendly and welcoming. We were guests at a wedding here, and everything was wonderful! We'll be back!

Very nice atmosphere, child-friendly. The food was excellent, I can only recommend it!

Superb service! Best wishes to the lovely lady ❤️

The location was great, but the food was unfortunately very bland. It was lightly seasoned and lacked personality. The service was also not good. No one came to reorder our tapas or drinks. When we were finished, it took forever for someone to come. And there were about 15 guests there, so it wasn't nearly as busy.

The service was great; everyone was very accommodating and friendly, the food was really good, and we had a wonderful seat right by the water. All in all, it was truly fantastic, and we felt very comfortable with our six guests. Thank you.

We were very pleased with our visit. Even though it was very busy and the waiters were extremely busy, we were regularly asked if everything was okay and tasty. The service was very warm and friendly. The food was delicious, and so were the drinks! But I was really impressed by the service!

Great experience. Very good food and great service 👉👍

Location by the Alster is nice, esp. for just a drink, but the tapas were bland (and certain items like the tortilla very clearly not Spanish…). Also none of the heat lamps apparently work so… dress warm.

Despite the mixed weather, we had a wonderful evening – thanks to umbrellas, blankets, and fire columns, it was nice and cozy. The ambiance and view are fantastic, and the staff are very friendly. The tapas selection is diverse and top-quality. We'd love to go back!

Great atmosphere right on the water. Unfortunately, the food is only okay, or simply overpriced for the basic quality. The staff is friendly, but noticeably untrained and distracted. Unfortunately, I wouldn't go back.

Nice place with a pleasant atmosphere. The food is decent, and it's really nice to sit right by the water.

We often visit this place. Very cool location in the center by the water. In winter they have nice sitting because there are glass domes, in summer it is very convenient because there are huge umbrellas and you are not on McNish in the rain. There are heaters and it is always warm. The cuisine is delicious, a good choice of dishes. A special plus for the service, the guys are always nice and serve well. It is always pleasant to return to such places

Good service, delicious tapas, and a lovely waterfront ambiance come at a price. Still, it's highly recommended!

A truly lovely place to enjoy Spanish food culture in good weather. The tapas were all truly delicious. The desserts were also impressive. My rosé spritzer was perfectly mixed and tempered. And the Sarti Spritz was also in exactly the right proportions. It was a very pleasant evening for me and my companions. And it certainly won't be our last visit there.

Unfortunately, the weather wasn't exactly summery, and rain threatened to start at any moment. While one could have found some shelter under the large umbrellas, the wind on the sides made it a bit uncomfortable. But the rain stayed away, and the food was delicious. Nothing special, but tasty. There are plenty of delicious tapas to choose from, and if the weather's nice, you can definitely end the day there on a good note :-)

Super nice service delicious food will be back on next visit to Hamburg

Six of us reserved a dome, but it wasn't actually available. Instead, we sat outside in the rain, which was very unpleasant due to the cold and the spray. If we had been informed the day before, we wouldn't have come. But they just asked us if we would keep our reservation. The food was okay, but we couldn't enjoy it because of the cold.

The food and service was amazing. The atmosphere was also very good, we had a table by the river, but felt a little cold, could do a little more with the heating but nevertheless it was an amazing experience:))

Really nice place, would definitely recommend. Location is perfect just by the river and the staff are lovely. The food is really nice - maybe not the most authentic Spanish food but definitely very tasty. Some reviews say this place is expensive but we found it quite affordable, especially for the area. We would definitely come back.

Delicious and very good service. It only loses one star because it doesn't look as classy as the online pictures and because the heaters don't provide enough heat.

Great location right on the water. Perfect for good weather. The food is delicious, though not exactly cheap—as is typical for tapas. Friendly service, despite the busy times.

The food was truly outstanding – delicious and beautifully presented. Unfortunately, this positive impression was significantly tarnished by the service. We felt distinctly disadvantaged: While other guests were given blankets and heaters, we sat freezing at our table without any source of warmth. We weren't even offered a lid for our food, even though other guests had been given one. The service seemed inattentive and uninspired. A real shame, because the food really deserved 5 stars.

Exorbitant prices for sitting on dirty cushions on dirty stairs. If you "just" want a drink, you're only allowed to sit on the stairs. Unfortunately, they're extremely dirty, and the available cushions don't look any better. When you're then asked to pay €6.90 for a 0.5 liter beer and €12 for a Limoncello Spritz, including dirty clothes afterward, you feel a bit ripped off. There are much better places in the immediate vicinity with realistic prices.

Simply a wonderful place with a great atmosphere!!!😊 🙏

I didn't like the seasoning of the food. Scampi and chicken breast were too sober for me. I wouldn't come by again. Ambience and service great!

Delicious food, although the price/performance ratio isn't the best for the price of the portions.

Super great Spaniard with a great atmosphere and super friendly staff.

It was my wife's birthday and upon request they decorated the table beautifully. Thank you again.

We were there spontaneously and got a place on the stairs in a very relaxed manner. The food came quickly and tasted excellent – ​​really great! The service was friendly and attentive. Both the food and service get a straight A from us. Highly recommended!

Great location, great service, delicious food 👍 of course the weather cooperated and underlined everything.

Large portions for tapas. Friendly and attentive staff Would love to come back

We had reserved a reservation in our own private dome and received confirmation for this. Unfortunately we were then seated elsewhere and the service was really bad. Our waitress was very distant and didn't even really say hello and goodbye, while other tables were served more attentively. However, the food was wonderful and very, very tasty.

Beautiful location with a view, nice atmosphere - but only had drinks.

We had to wait quite a while for our food, and unfortunately, many of the dishes listed on the menu were not available. However, the food we did get was absolutely delicious—even if the portions were on the smaller side.

Nice restaurant in a best location. Selection pretty good. Sometimes a bit overpriced (e.g. ~15€ for 3 shrimps in garlic). Taste good too.

I went to the Španiše Trepe restaurant with my wife. We ordered drinks, salad and mushrooms. The drinks came quickly, but after waiting over 30 minutes we found out that there were no mushrooms. The waiter didn't apologize, but said that this was normal for them because of the large number of guests. We found that unprofessional and disappointing. We just paid for the drinks and left. This was the first and last visit for us.

Reserved a place by the water and couldn't get a place there because you had to order 3-4 dishes per person, which was a shame! Only after several requests were we moved to the place that had been reserved We had to wait 50 minutes for the food and that for 2 dishes??? The food is small and has hardly any taste So no recommendation from my side The food in the picture as a guide costs €14.90 each

Nice place - But!!! A small beer and a bad apple spritzer (non-carbonated) for €12 is absolutely too expensive! !

I had a very tasty dinner here.

A great location! Here you can enjoy the sunset with a delicious cold drink. The employees are consistently friendly. I always enjoy being a guest there.

Highly recommended! I have never eaten such good Spanish cuisine in Germany. The service was also very nice, attentive and helpful! Top location!! Thank you!!

1. Reservation and implementation: Despite a reservation for the igloo - no igloo - hugely disappointed because we weren't dressed for open tables outside. There was also no information in the reservation reminder (email) or by phone call as advance information!!! That was a real shame. 2. Service: new employee and that was taken into account but waiting more than 40 minutes for a bottle of water, constantly forgetting to bring the bread (reminded 3 times), having the winter menu on the website and the summer menu in the restaurant - tagine was out, the variety of desserts was out, wine spritzer “oh sorry, I forgot that” comes straight away, 2 tapas of the order were not brought at all, one was probably ignored when ordering, the other was then taken off the bill! What was very nice there was the view of the Alster and because of this location the store is definitely doing well. However, if it were somewhere else, they would run pretty empty because the rather bland but expensive food is not justified. It was a special occasion for us, so despite being disappointed we had a lovely evening.

You sit directly on the pier and we really liked the food and the service.

The service is friendly and charming. The ambience with the sunset was really just great. The only drawback is the food. These crispy rolls felt like spring rolls. Unfortunately it only tastes OK. The chorizo ​​could have been fried or grilled really well beforehand to bring out the flavor more. All in all, the food doesn't really do justice to the price. Nevertheless, we had a great evening. Next time we'll just have a drink and eat somewhere else.

We have reserved a dome for Easter Sunday with 5 people. Unfortunately, when we arrived we were really disappointed because there were no more domes built. When we made the reservation, we were able to specify an extra dome. When we asked what that meant, why can you reserve something like that and there are no domes at all, they just said we can offer you a table with a heater (at 10°C outside temperature at 8:30 p.m.).

A recommendation when the weather is nice

Very tasty food!! We ordered steamed vegetables with prawn for 2 people. The prawns are very fresh and delicious. While this is a VERY expensive place, 3 small prawns for each person, with a bowl of few vegetables for 59 eur is toooo much. So we won’t come back again. Also with mediocre service. But we were happy to eat there during our sup journey.

Okay... But it can definitely be better. White wine spritzer tasted like water

I'm really disappointed... The table was reserved and not set. We waited forever for service. There are too many tables in a dome, privacy is better in a hall. It was raining and every time the door was opened my husband got wet. It was only when we ordered that we were told that the olives (!) were out - in a tapas bar... no alternative was offered to the appetizer plate without asking, the tomatoes were also apparently out, but we didn't complain about them anymore... The remaining tapas, well, the goat cheese briefly saw the flame and was otherwise cold, the scampi were okay. Google says: “difficult & expensive” -> true

Upper price segment! You have to pay for this great view and the pleasant ambience! Napkins, salt and pepper with the meal as well as milk and sugar with the coffee had to be ordered.

Nice place, nice staff and the food was delicious.

Super ambience, delicious food and charming and quick-witted service that reminded us of Carrie Bradshaw. Very satisfied!

Unfortunately not at all as expected. The food was very mediocre and manageable on the plate and doesn't have much to do with Spanish tapas, plus it was mega overpriced! Dessert: a scoop of ice cream and a tiny ready-made cake for €13.90?? And it was too cold and too narrow in the igloo! Table for two was so squeezed...I expected a lot more for the price! Too bad

Great restaurant with delicious food. But the glass balls are great! There were nine of us and we had a crystal ball all to ourselves. All the employees were super nice and service-oriented. I can only recommend the restaurant.

Highly recommended, great food. Price-performance is okay.

We really enjoyed the evening. The food was delicious (tapas palette for 4 people). The pricing is more in the upper segment. From then on you also pay for the unique view of the Alster from the crystal ball. Beautiful. A very special evening. Thank you

Very nice atmosphere and with evening lighting an impressive ambience. We'll be back...in daylight :-) to take these impressions with us. Very friendly service. And if something is no longer available at this later time, that's no problem either. Better than having to destroy food.

Delicious food. Large tapas portions. Service very accommodating. Gladly again 🤤

Yes, hello, Definitely worth a visit, nice location and nice staff. Greetings to our super nice, competent and professional waitress LARA. She rounded off our evening. The food was overall very good. My main menu, tender, pink fried lamb fillet, was unfortunately absolutely fried to death. And for €34 you expect a bit of something. For me, there were too many whole menus on the menu and not enough tapas. We would like to come back again.

A great experience in the heart of the city, the best weather and this delicious food made us enjoy a lovely evening. Please take a look at your women's toilet, it wasn't that pleasant to use. We'll still come back.

I absolutely loved my visit to the Spanish Steps! The food was not only authentic and incredibly tasty, but also beautifully prepared - every dish was a real taste experience. The atmosphere in the restaurant is cozy and inviting, you immediately feel at home. Special praise goes to our waitress: she was extremely friendly and attentive. The service was perfect – fast, professional and warm at the same time. You can tell that people work here with real passion. Thank you for this great evening – I’ll definitely be back!

I have to say, really good ideas and super beautiful. However, what was a real shame for us was that we ordered a table for 7 p.m. When we came, mistake, we forgot to clear your table, but we told the other guests to please stay for a maximum of 30 minutes. Ok, we waited, the weather was nice and we got a drink outside. However, after an hour we still didn't have our table and now it was getting cold outside. When we finally got our table, the service was unfortunately a bit overwhelmed, even though there were almost no guests left. But we received a dessert plate on the house. But when the bill came and our gift, because we had to wait for the bill, even though the boss had said it was on the house, we got a little loud. But when the boss was no longer there, but certainly in bed according to the staff, we had to pay, so the food was delicious and good, the place was super nice, but the rest unfortunately wasn't so good.

Great food, very friendly staff, best location. We'll be back ☺️

Delicious Spanish Tapas! They have great vegetarian options as well. Sevice was great as well. Attentive waiters. It's an amazing place for dinner, as you get to catch the sunset, which was stunning. Overall, can highly recommend 👌

Very cool restaurant with a dome on the water. It was very cozy and delicious.

Unfortunately, my visit to the Spanish Steps restaurant last weekend was a huge disappointment. First of all, the prices were way too high for the quality of the food. The portions were small and the taste unfortunately left a lot to be desired. To get full you had to order almost five different dishes, which is definitely not what you would expect for the price. The service was also very disappointing. The staff was unfriendly and the humor was rather bad. The employees seemed unprofessional and there was a lack of a friendly atmosphere. After just an hour, we were asked to leave despite numerous empty tables. To make matters worse, we weren't allowed to order desserts, which made the whole experience even more unpleasant. If you asked for cutlery or bread, it didn't come until halfway through hour – at a time when the food was already cold. We had also reserved a table in the glass house, but they tried to seat us outside. This only led to more dissatisfaction. All in all it was a very disappointing visit. I will definitely not visit this restaurant again and unfortunately I cannot recommend it.

A beautiful location with a special ambience. The food and service were excellent. It was also no problem to share the igloo with other guests (there were two of us and three at the table next to us), as long as you pay attention to the age group. A group of four young people were then added, who were understandably a bit exuberant and loud. This was very disturbing and after asking them to be a little quieter, they left the igloo. Please pay attention to the guest constellation and number. I found 9 people at 3 tables cramped. Therefore 4 stars overall

Nice idea to work with the glass igloos in the winter. But it also has disadvantages. When it is very cold outside in the evening and the igloo is occupied by several guests. The waiters constantly have to go in and out to bring the orders. The door is inevitably left open and the igloo quickly cools down and the guests freeze again. The small fan heater is not enough. In addition, the igloos are made of hard plastic and therefore the windows get very cold when the temperatures outside go below 5 degrees. The tables (divided into 3 tables for 10 people) are then positioned directly at the windows. The table for two is right next to the door with one sitting right in front of it. Difficult . 2 tables with 4 people each is still possible, a 3 table with 2 people is simply too much for the size. Especially since you have to automatically hear all conversations. Of course, the food gets cold quickly thanks to the kitchen-igloo walkway, as well as opening the door, leaving it open, and closing the door. The service was great. The four of us had a lovely evening. Drinks are too expensive for my taste.

I would like to express my disappointment with our visit to your restaurant today. Despite a reservation for a birthday table at 8:15 p.m. for four people and our prior notification that we would be arriving in the evening, our table was given away when we arrived 15 minutes late. We overheard the owner asking the waiter why the table was given away. Instead, we were assigned a table without a tablecloth, which did not allow us to sit comfortably together - a sign of poor organization. We were told that a “bubble” would be available soon and that we could then move. In the meantime, from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., we received no compensation or attention; we just ordered water until we were moved. The starter was only served after the transfer, which is unacceptable. The waitress tried to justify the situation, instead of apologizing properly she became unprofessional towards us and left the place without any further words. This behavior made us feel unwelcome as guests and was particularly disappointing as we were celebrating my sister's birthday. Overall, our experience was characterized by poor organization and unprofessional behavior, which negatively impacted our special event. I hope that management takes this feedback seriously and takes steps to improve service and avoid similar experiences for future guests. In addition, you cannot pay by EC. I received an email about this in my junk mailbox.

Great food and good service in a nice location. Lost 1 star due to their payment system charging extra when using a non-EU bankcard which I have never seen in Germany. 16 Euros automaticaly added to my bill. There has to be a better system!

Nice atmosphere but unfortunately still too cold at this time of year. The food was mediocre and too expensive. The minimum consumption value was €39 per person and was only communicated to us on site.

Food not exciting. Food far too expensive for what you get. Location but great, very cool to be in a dome with the group.

Location is great. The igloos provide good protection from cold winds. The place is quite expensive for the service it offers. For less than 50 euros per person you will stay hungry. Long waiting time despite reservation without drinks is not that great. Toilet is horrible.

Great location, nice service, delicious tapas.

Don't bother, unless the ambiance is all you care about. They'd like to be in the top league here, but unfortunately, they're not doing it very well... If they offer chopitos, I'd also like small, whole squid... The patatas bravas were just greasy, sorry... If they're going to use a cloth tablecloth, why paper napkins? Why not serve Spanish wines all the time? Overall, it could be much better... But the location and the idea of ​​the venue are great... I'd rather come back for a long drink than a sundowner on the stairs.

Great food, service absolutely friendly and fast, atmosphere fantastic

One of the best spots in Hamburg for a perfect date/romantic dinner. Food is really amazing and so is the service. Definitely need to reserve in advance!

Quite good. Great location, but the service is disappointing.

Unfortunately, our visit to this café was not particularly pleasant. The waitress with curly hair and a rather short stature was very unfriendly to us. We had said from the start that we just wanted a drink. She first took us to a table, but then suddenly said that it might be reserved and that we would have to get up if someone came. We found this type of treatment very rude and unprofessional. Very disappointing! 👎🏻

Beautifully located on the Alster. In winter, however, the feet are a bit too cold for me. The domes are heated with fan heaters. Logical. Probably eating endless electricity. But there is always something. We had tapas. They were the best I've ever eaten in Germany. Plenty and served quickly. The service was excellent. People regularly asked unobtrusively if everything was okay. Not suitable for wheelchair users as there are stairs. As far as I know, there's no getting around that.

Total disaster... basically a nice concept with the igloos. The food is also okay... nothing more. The igloos are totally cold. Just a small fan heater. Only one table lamp for 3 tables. Really ridiculous. After 30 minutes we had to put our jacket on and our feet were cold. The service staff are quite friendly but unmotivated. The food came after 40 minutes even though there were hardly any guests. The red wine for 11.50 euros was served ice cold. Excuse from the waiter: the weather is too cold. No more drinks could be ordered because there was no waiter in sight. We also had to call to have someone come to pay. Both waiters also complained about this. Typical tourist rip-off place, as the same circumstances have been written countless times in other reviews, but the owner doesn't care at all. Apparently there are still enough guests coming.

The salad was very tasty. View is great. Only the traffic spoils the mood as the main road is close.

Great, The food was extremely good The service first class Really very nice

Unfortunately the food was quite cold. Service did the bare minimum, but nothing more. Otherwise it was really tasty and good portions.

I had made a reservation and needed to call in to make some changes. The staff member I spoke with handled everything smoothly and without any issues. From the moment I arrived, the team was kind and attentive. As you can see in the picture, the food looks incredible—but it tastes even better! Great teamwork by everyone involved. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Food: tastes good, nothing particularly complex, but well prepared and tasty. The only thing: please be careful with the dishes with couscous - there is a LOT of couscous in them. Ambience: we stayed in one of the glass igloos, they are nicely furnished, enough space for several guests, and are also heated, so it is quite warm in there (if the two sliding doors are closed correctly, but more on that in the next point) Service: disappointing. Two main facts: 1. The waiters don't even pay attention to whether the two doors are closed properly (without a gap between them), and there is a direct draft (particularly pleasant if you sit with your back to the doors) 2. The reservation time in the restaurant is always 2 hours, and the slots are well occupied, so I can understand that guests who may have overstayed are kindly informed about it. In our case, however, we were somewhat surprised 15 minutes BEFORE (!) the end of our 2 hours with a rather familiar announcement "The next guests are already here" (and that was it!). After I pointed out to the waiter the fact that we hadn't even overcharged (!!!), the waiter disappeared without a word. P.S. It's important to mention at this point - the waitress who served us was extremely nice and really made a very good impression - but then came point 2.

We came for the waterfront igloos. Yes, it's something different, but if you only come with two or three people, there are at least 2-3 small tables in the igloo and that ruins the atmosphere. It's too loud, when the door opens it immediately comes in cool, but it's nicely done Unfortunately the service is unsatisfactory. We all know that skilled workers are difficult to recruit, but a minimum of training would be good. The food was very good, except for the potatoes and grilled vegetables. The potatoes weren't fresh, they just tasted mealy, no flavor and of poor quality. The vegetables were also pretty tasteless. The lamb fillet was very good, as was the starter. Very nicely prepared.

Food, service, ambience great, recommended

It was a shame that 3 tapas (mantu, chicken and lamb) were out and therefore couldn't be ordered. But the quality of the food was really good. Otherwise the location and location is very nice.

The atmosphere in the glass igloos is very nice. You just have to make sure that the door is tightly closed otherwise it will quickly get cold. The food tasted very good. However, there were 2 tapas, 1 dessert and 1 type of ice cream that would have been part of another dessert. I find that very weak for a Saturday evening at 6 p.m. In addition, it was only shortly after 8 p.m. when we had just received our desserts that we were informed that the table would be occupied again from 8:15 p.m. We should have been told this right at the beginning or at the latest when we wanted to order the desserts. This note was not included in the various emails I received reminding me of my reservation. In the two hours you still have to wager €39 per person.

In winter there are small glass igloos with space for around 8 people with variable tables on the former Alster pier - this is a unique ambience!! The food is great and authentic, the service is nice and the prices are reasonable.

The food was good, unfortunately very fresh every time you opened the door at this time of year. Conversations in combination with another 4 people are not really private. If you want to be entertained, you've come to the right place. Staff friendly.
