Spanische Treppe in Hamburg

It was really great, we would love to come back.

It was very nice. The ambience is unbeatable. Pure romance

With the new “igloos” an absolute experience even in the cold season.

There have recently been heated glass pavilions in which you can dine very comfortably even when the outside temperature is wintery. You sit right by the water and swans occasionally swim past, very atmospheric. I would definitely recommend a reservation.

I loved this place! Wish I discovered it in summer. The service was very friendly and welcoming and the views and the setting were stunning! The food also very good! Highly recommended!

Great food, friendly and attentive service and a brilliant ambience. We felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

The location impresses with its location and the flair on the canal. When the weather is nice, you can sit on the stairs or in a deck chair and enjoy the sun with a view of the Alster. There are now also heated glass igloos on the terrace for the cooler season. A few days ago we wanted to try the restaurant for the first time for a family meal and were quite disappointed. The quality did not meet our expectations at all and the (high) price-performance ratio is not justified! The food arrived warm but not hot and was fried in bad/old oil. Conclusion: Everything is only half edible and overpriced, including the drinks prices!

We didn't eat anything, although it smelled very good. The drinks were great, the service was very attentive and the ambience was a 10/10.😊👍🏽

We found this place just walking around Hamburg. The location is idyllic, you really relax looking at the water. Obviously as Spanish, the name caught our attention. The idea of ​​sitting comfortably on the stairs is simply great. There are cushions and small tables that make everything very comfortable. Good wine list, although a glass for €9 seemed a bit excessive to us. We also ate some meatballs that were delicious. It's worth being there when the weather is good.

A cool atmosphere, great place for young and old. Whether at the table or just on the stairs, you can sit well anywhere

The problem it’s the price is a bit high

Many food options, very tasty, excellent location, good service.

Very tasty tapas, delicious wine and beautiful views. The staff was super friendly and in a good mood. We would love to come back here.

Chic, stylish furnishings, friendly service, pleasant (and a bit bland) pop music - the Spanish Steps offers a nice ambience with a great location surrounded by trees right on the water. Of course you can hear a bit of car noise next to the road, but overall you still have peace and quiet. The taste of the food was definitely convincing, but the prices are quite high and do not directly reflect the portion size. Unfortunately there is no selection for vegans (we were offered fried potatoes without sauce). The vegetarian selection, however, is sufficient and satisfactory. All in all, the visit here was nice, but it left us with a big hole in our wallet and a small one in our stomach.

We were lucky to spontaneously get a seat in this restaurant. The food was amazing, the wine was delicious and the service was sensational. This beautiful evening was rounded off with a fantastic sunset.

Great location with a fantastic view of the Alster and the television tower. The food is delicious, but the tapas variety is nothing special. Prices are in the mid to high range

The bottled wines did not meet my taste and were not justified in terms of price/performance ratio! The food was okay.

The ambience and location are great. The food was overpriced and the portions were too small. Although they are tapas and not main courses, the price should not be the same as a main course.

Unfortunately, we were not completely impressed by the Spanish Steps restaurant in Hamburg. Despite making a reservation in advance, we had to wait at least half an hour without being offered a drink or any other attention - particularly annoying since we arrived hungry. Even when we were suggested the waiting area by the stairs, no waitress came to offer us something to drink. That was very disappointing when we arrived. When we finally got our table, the location was fantastic: a beautiful spot right on the Alster with a fantastic view, especially at sunset. But unfortunately the long wait continued until we could finally order. We chose various tapas, which were mediocre overall. The greasy potatoes were particularly disappointing. We expected a lot more for the rather high prices - unfortunately the price-performance ratio is not right here. While the ambience is truly outstanding, the service and quality of the food unfortunately couldn't keep up. Overall, the restaurant falls short of its potential in terms of food and service.

Everything was really good except the prices. That was really expensive. e.g. €16.80 for 5 very small prawns. 78€ for 6 tapas and 2 drinks was steep

We sat outside and enjoyed the remaining rays of sunshine

The atmosphere is really great! The food was also really tasty 😋 but the prices are a bit high. The service was also great and friendly.

Always very happy. Good ambience, nice and fast service, small and large dishes. Only recommended when the weather is nice and dry.

As always, excellent! Weather was a dream. It would be nice (since we come often) if there were new dishes.

Atmospheric location, food incredibly tasty and the service, despite the high occupancy on a warm late summer evening, personal and simply super nice!! I've celebrated my birthday here several times and will definitely do it again

In the big city and still a very idyllic place, very tasty tapas and very friendly staff. We'd love to come back

Very tasty food and, among other things, trendy drinks in the best ambience at the Spanish Steps and great service.

Absolutely great place for warm summer nights! The tapas are highly recommended!

It was our first time there, but we definitely won't be there the last time. A small oasis in the middle of the big city. Beautifully located directly on the Alster. Seasonal operation because only outside seating is available. A nice large terrace invites you to sit right by the water. If you just want to enjoy a drink, you can also make yourself comfortable on the stairs with cushions. We left our food in the hands of the kitchen. Various tapas with fish, meat and veggies. Be it boquerones, scampi, minced meat rolls, potatoes with mojo and much more, there was something for everyone. We enjoyed it great. The aioli is simply delicious. We will come back. Highly recommended!

The ambience was theoretically magical if we weren't seated in the third row. I had reserved and many tables were free. We were allowed to choose one, unfortunately there were only two of us. The tables by the water are probably reserved for guests who spend twice as much or if you know each other, then you can sit by the water for two (mind you, they came after us) I don't know if I'll go there again

Great location with a view of the Alster. Very nice service!

Enttäuschend.ich habe für 2-3 Personen reserviert, die dritte Person könnte nicht erscheinen! Wir müssten nach weniger als 90 Minuten den Tisch freigeben!! Obwohl wir gegessen haben und noch beim Trinken waren!! Ohne Grund!!! Wir sind total entsetzt und würden nie wieder hingehen!!

When it's warm in Hamburg and the sun is shining, you have a Spanish Tuscan flair here. Wonderful.

Great location for good weather

The tapas were different than expected but very tasty. I didn't know Mojo that much, the gambas with paprika probably only had paprika powder and I didn't find any pomegranate sauce in the merguez. It was still tasty and the service was extremely nice. The ambience is very nice anyway. Gladly again.

When the weather is nice, the location is of course a dream. Unfortunately the price/performance ratio doesn't fit at all. I won't eat there again.

Great place. Delicious food. We were there early (5 p.m.) and everything went well. A place to be in great weather and evening sun!

It's very nice to sit there by the water, the food is great, the service is very friendly. We'd love to come back.

Super delicious, service 5 stars + Ambiance - outstanding View - overwhelming We enjoyed it very much, the service was absolutely attentive and very friendly!!! It's really fun to go out to eat with the family 👍🏼

Delicious food and great location

The location is very nice right on the water. The food is priced at a high level in terms of quality and quantity. In our opinion, this works much better. We weren't convinced and probably won't come back. Too bad.

Very tasty Spanish food and really great ambience with top service! Always happy again!

All in all the visit was ok. The location is of course unique. Unfortunately, the bar on the other side played even louder music than this one. The drinks and menus should urgently be replaced with new ones, they are dingy. We ordered a whole range of tapas, which were good and tasty, but also quite expensive. Otherwise we would definitely have ordered more. Our waitress was attentive, friendly and quick and very nice.

Simply always beautiful, an “OASIS” in the middle of the city!! The owner has brought a great location to Hamburg with a lot of love. THANKS

The food and the location are very good. However, it took a very long time until the food (tappas) was served. The wrong Tappas that was brought was on the house and we still received the correct Tappas.

Super super nice team! Food was great too. It's really nice to sit by the water. A thoroughly positive experience. I'll be back

Had a great place by the water. Unfortunately, we were moved after two hours without notice. Food was perfect. Great tapas. What is surprising is that the only beer available is Krombacher. But the rose wine was even better.

super attentive and top service, food unfortunately average and correspondingly overpriced, 2 narrow pointed peppers 8.50 euros etc

Were here for afterwork with 14 people. Reservation unproblematic and service attentive. The view of the Alster is beautiful. The tapas tasted ok to quite good, but in our opinion they weren't that special. Unfortunately that certain kick was missing. But always happy for a nightcap!

a very nice place in Hamburg, right on the water. we will definitely come back 👍🏽

Great location by the water, friendly service, good music and above all the food a 10/10. Also a nice spot to just have a drink on the stairs. Definitely coming back.

Delicious tapas, the Ziegenkäse was amazing and we really liked the chocolate lava cake as dessert. Meatballs were average. Amazing view, amazing atmosphere to enjoy in summer!

Solid tapas and a really good location, where you can sometimes find space even when it rains. However, it's more of a place for an Aperol and tapas in the sunshine

Terrible experience. The food is little, with average taste at best. You don't get your money's worth here. Especially since you're forced to take TWO tapas, which means you'll probably end up with 30-50 euros per person with drinks. For...tapas. Which isn't nearly enough for anything. It would be ok, painful but ok, at least it would taste good. But no, none of my group has that. “Okay” to “average, nothing special” was the general tone of everyone. And it's far too expensive for that. Awesomely expensive. The only bright spot was our waiter, who was very good. But you have to be fair: I can't recommend anyone to eat here. It's better to sit on a park bench a few meters away. Toilets catastrophic.

Love this place,.really good view , chill, good food, this place is good for every occasion. Recommend!

Fantastic tapas food and super quick service. Such a lovely setting too

The Spanish Steps is a more rustic location with seating exclusively outside. Unfortunately the tapas didn't convince us. Every single dish was only served warmed up, which you could see and taste. Our food came 8 minutes after we ordered which you can tell either way. Price/performance unfortunately too expensive for what you get.

We had an incredibly great evening with you, especially the waiter Zeit served us so well.¡¡Muchísimas Gracias!!

Great restaurant with a great location. For us, food was interesting and good and different. A little expensive, but worth it on vacation.

It was like you were on holiday in Spain, the weather was great, you could sit comfortably by the river, the tapas were very good, super nice and very attentive service. Everything was fine.

Too expensive for what it is and kind of abrasive service.

Unfortunately, the poor service ruins the beautiful restaurant. The first time, even though there wasn't much going on, we had to wait an extremely long time for service. Even when we wanted to pay, we waited ages for the bill. It's not even because there aren't enough staff. Some of the waiters just stand around and don't work or don't even look around to see if anyone else wants to order something. Yesterday we were there again, it was fuller, but the waiters didn't seem overwhelmed because there are a lot of waiters there. Instead, some of them were just standing around the front in groups of three or four. Yesterday we weren't even served after 30 minutes, so we left again. Really a shame for the store as the ambience, drinks and view are really nice.

Leider macht der schlechte Service das schöne Restaurant kaputt. Bereits beim ersten Mal mussten wir, obwohl wirklich wenig los war, extrem lange auf eine Bedienung warten. Auch als wir bezahlen wollten, warteten wir wieder Ewigkeiten auf die Rechnung. Es liegt nicht mal daran, dass zu wenig Personal da ist. Die Kellner stehen teilweise einfach rum und arbeiten nicht oder schauen sich nicht mal um, ob noch jemand etwas bestellen möchte. Gestern waren wir wieder dort, es war zwar voller, aber die Kellner wirkten nicht überfordert, weil nunmal sehr viele Kellner da sind. Sondern sie standen einfach wieder teilweise zu dritt oder viert vorne rum. Gestern wurden wir nach 30 Minuten nicht mal bedient, sodass wir dann wieder gegangen sind. Wirklich schade für den Laden, da das Ambiente, die Getränke und der Blick wirklich nett sind.

The staff was very friendly and extremely attentive! The food, however, wasn't as tasty as it looked. It tasted like it had been warmed up and the goat cheese was also very sticky and not freshly prepared, which was a shame. The location with the view is an absolute eye-catcher, but we wouldn't eat there again.

very cool spot (especially at sunset), service very attentive, food delicious! Gladly again!

I live right in front of it and the food always smells very tempting. Unfortunately, the service was so inattentive both times that we waited 20 minutes to be served on the first visit. We were only allowed to pay after 15-20 minutes after our drink, even though the restaurant wasn't very busy. Second visit today: Down the stairs with an obviously injured knee, waited at the table for 23 minutes without being noticed, even though 3-4 waiters were standing around at the same time without any orders. Then we went over to the pier and after 8 minutes we had a drink in our hands 👍🏻

The Spanish Steps are a highly frequented location with an incredibly beautiful view in summer - really a highlight. Unfortunately, the restaurant cannot fully keep its promise due to the mediocre management and the half-trained staff. It dampens the mood when, despite having a reservation, you have to wait longer than expected for your table (in our case, plus 30 minutes). About the food: The patatas bravas were very oily, bland and unseasoned, the Afghan mantus had a strange minced meat smell, and the quinoa salad was incompletely prepared. In view of these deficiencies, a total bill of over €120 does not seem appropriate for this location. That's why I give it 3 stars: 2 for the great location and 1 for the food.

Nice location, lots to see, service fast, food delicious

If you're looking for overpriced prices for rude service, this is the place to be

It was just perfect Super nice service, great food in a mega beautiful location in Hamburg ❤️ Thank you for the great evening with friends and family

Table next to the kitchen door, it smelled so bad of food that you could hardly enjoy your food. Immediately after eating I was asked to vacate my seat and continue drinking my drink on the steps; where there was no free space at all, even though I expressly pointed out that I was still waiting for someone. A cushion was then placed between two seats where I could sit very cramped. However, it was far from enjoying and having a nice evening.

Very good tapas, good service, great location on the water, not exactly cheap

After waiting for 15 minutes to be seated with a reservation, we were forced to order minimum 3 tapas per person, saying that it’s not allowed to order less if you’re seated on the tables! And after waiting for an hour for the order, the waitress comes asking for the order again because she didn’t give it to the kitchen! Such a bad unfriendly service! Don’t let the view fool you!

You shouldn't necessarily go there for the food. Not really made with love, everything was probably prepared for a long time and warmed up when ordered. Service is ok, but far from professional. There are no trained service staff... The atmosphere right on the water is great. However, we probably won't come back again.

We were guests today with a larger group (50 people) and we are more than happy. Everything was just right, service, organization and food were simply perfect. Many thanks to the entire team ❤️ 10/10 recommendation

Food was okay, not much choice, quite expensive and nothing you can't do yourself in the kitchen with a little research. Nevertheless, a very nice view and friendly staff. Vibe was right, everyone has to decide the price for themselves - for me personally it wasn't good enough for the money. To be fair, my girlfriend, for example, has a different opinion and thinks that it was just at the threshold of pain.

Location is good, especially in the evening when the sky is clear. But it's also on the street, none of us liked the music, a bad mix of lounge and beach bar. Food was okay to good, but too expensive for the quality, preparation and quantity, even by Hamburg standards. Service at the table was nice, unfortunately something was forgotten, which is why we had to eat at a later time. None of the three people we passed as we were leaving wanted to say goodbye. Maybe I'm old-fashioned but that's part of it for me. But the service at the table was consistently nice. For me it doesn't remain a recommendation even on the second visit. Hamburg has better alternatives to offer, especially for tapas. If you want to show off, this is definitely the right place for you.

Do you want to eat mice served by rude and impolite staff? I don't think so, you're right to stay away.

The food was second to none. The waiter was very service minded and helpful when choosing dishes.

A really very nice location. Tapas and drinks of good average quality and taste. Prices too expensive...you're just paying for the beautiful location.

Overall, my visit to the Spanish Steps was a thoroughly successful experience. I can recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to enjoy an evening with excellent cuisine, great service and a cozy atmosphere. Our waiter Bibo was particularly attentive and provided great service. Thanks Bibo Rating: 5/5 stars This review highlights the most important aspects: ambience, service, quality of food and wine selection.

The restaurant has good food quality, the condition is always fast and attentive, it also has a special atmosphere. I would be happy to come by again.

Some of the waiters are not very nice

Even though we had reserved, we had to wait on the stairs because there was no space available yet. Since the weather was good, it was very crowded. While we waited, others who came after us were shown to the table. Only when I asked the employee about it was we shown the “last free table”. When it came to ordering food and I decided to have an aperitif and my partner wanted to eat something, we were immediately told that we would then lose the table because you had to order at least two tapas per person. Otherwise we would have to sit on the stairs. Maybe you should write something like that when you make your reservation. So I was now forced to order something to eat. The meal was okay. Overall it is a rather narrow and loud spot. Due to the narrowness, it is annoying if people smoke next door while eating. We didn't think the prices were justified for the quality of the food and stay. We won't come back again.

Got a bad seat despite a reservation. Prices are absolutely outrageous for this food and drink. Additionally, it was way too loud. We were very disappointed when we left. Never again!

Perfect spot for summer! Located right next to a canal of the Außenalster with such a nice Spanish atmosphere! Spanish music and super nice staff, I loved it! Food is very good, I definitely come back!

This is where you go for the view, right on the water, towards the sunset. Beautiful. The food is mediocre, the portions are small and quite expensive. You should take your time: we waited an hour for our food, we had to ask for vinegar and oil twice, there was no vinegar and it took another time for someone to come to the bill when we asked.

It was a great evening. Enjoy your meal. Nice waiters. Gladly again.

I only went for drinks with my friends, but the place is very nice, close to the water and quiet

Nicely located, fine food, good service, friendly staff. To recommend!

Beautiful place by the lake, delicious Tapas...

The Spanish Steps of course have an outstanding location, but this is also reflected in the tapas prices. Highly priced is not an understatement, even the glass of Pinot Gris for €11.50 borders on prices for the Eppendorf district. Well, location, location, location. But I expect hot tapas and not, as in our case, lukewarm ones. That is really a shame. Otherwise the service and quality are good.

You can enjoy it comfortably along the river!

My favorite place in Hamburg! The location is unique

We had an unforgettable sunny evening. The food is quality of a high standard! The service was super friendly and accommodating!

Wir waren zufrieden, Getränke kamen schnell, die Portionen der Tapas ok, geschmacklich ne zwei minus, wir haben schon schlechtere tapas gegessen, Ausblick war super

Nice atmosphere, that’s it for the positive things here. We were there today with 8 people and waited 45 minutes for food. Absolutely average food at real moon prices. There is really no justification for the price for such a flabby food. The baked baguettes are really bad. Service was catastrophic, we had to ask 7c for bread over and over again. The waiter even smashed a glass on the table and then let it lie broken and fall to the floor, where it then fell into 100 pieces and splinters flew at guests. Overall, it's just a letdown for the high price

The service was abysmal. We had to wait an eternity to place our order each time, and they even forgot my friend's meal. To top it all off, they told us we had to move to another table, despite us being there for a long time and ordering a lot, because they had a reservation for our table. Completely unprofessional. I'm never coming back.

Wonderful evening close to Alster Lake

Nothing about the food is Spanish... Super expensive and not worth it. The Spanish jamón tasted supermarket bought.
