Very good option if you like traditional Portuguese food. Came here twice during my short Hamburg visit. Underrated from my perspective. Price/quality/portion ratio unbeatable, especially when I compare to other places that I visited in Hamburg. I ordered "púcara" plates because they are more seasoned. One time with pork and another time with lamb. They were both quite good in my opinion. I also had the opportunity to try the calamari and shrimps. I also liked it.
However this might not be for everyone and I could see that when I read some comments. Avoid if the next points are a deal breaker for you. This is a traditional place with a modest atmosphere.

The last two dishes came with a small salad and some white bread.
The fish soup was the only one I...

The food was mediocre: tiny portions of gambas drowning in sauce (potatoes or rice are an extra order), lots of creamy sauces with a lot of fat and sugar. Good steak but served with rice and potatoes. Side salads were disappointing and reminded me of my company's cafeteria.
Food was OK, but not more, and, for what we got, on the expensive side. All of the Portuguese quarter is now a...
