Carls an der Elbphilharmonie - Hamburg

Fairly disappointing place. We were waiting for a waiter for about 15 minutes, and then when one finally appeared, I did share my concerns that it took too long and we rather be leaving. Unfortunately, the waiter was quite impolite and brought zero words of excuse for an absolutely appalling speed of service. I understand the restaurant might have fired staff earlier due to Covid, but then at least have some balls to apologize in front of customers for not being able to manage your services at a reasonable level. So far my worst experience in a café in Germany.

It was very quiet when we got there and we chose a table by the window and grabbed a menu in English. Ordered drinks and two tartines a Nicoise (tuna, egg, tomato and capers) and a Croque monsieur. Both arrived very quickly and were absolutely delicious. Relaxing atmosphere and friendly staff. The bill was €33 including two beers and an apple juice.

Great service could not be better. If you never had steak tarter before try it Mains I had beef bougioun and my wife steak and fies ,, ,perfect Desert of chocolate and mandarin sorbet was amazing We had no booking and were lucky. Suggest you book. Value for money 10/10

Three meals, two in the Brasserie and one in the Bistro. All fabulous. First class cooking using great ingredients. Dover Sole was beautifully presented. Beef Bourgogne deep flavour and delicious. Friendly helpful service. Impressive wine list
