El Andaluz Gbr - Hamburg

Since last Tuesday, the Garduong has been the successor of the Asian tapas restaurant TaSu and in the style of a Vietnamese tea house, designed in cozy brown tones; with stools and benches that are more comfortable than they look. A mixture of traditional Vietnamese dishes and more modern creations is served. I had garnished two grilled mussels, with spring onions, coriander and ginger soy sauce, which was so tenderly seasoned that it did not cover the fine taste of the spoon bead. As main food there was BBQ-Duck: medium grilled barbaric duck fillet with BBQ marinade, soothes Pak Choi, baby corn, water chestnuts, beans, peppers, served on grilled sweet potatoes (13.90 euros). The sauce was light but sharp – a very delicious composition. The dessert was another real highlight: Xôi Xoài (black Klebreis, peanuts with fresh mango, coconut milk and sesame for 4.90 euros). I recommend the particularly aromatic Vietnamese coffee prepared at the table by a beaker filter. Np Mi, a wonderfully soft vodka from fermented Klebreis, was sold out yesterday. With its fine food, attentive service and civilian prices, the Garduong is an enrichment of the high-air gastro scene.
