Gaststätte La Sepia, not so much a vote of approval for this one as advice to avoid it.
Although the Google reviews are good, and the place was packed when we arrived by chance, we noticed the fridge where the 'fresh' fish is kept, in full view of diners in the restaurant, was *crawling* in cockroaches. We counted a dozen running all over it in the few minutes it took us to realise what they were, cancel our order, and leave. As we were on holiday in Hamburg and didn't want the argument we said nothing to the staff but perhaps we should have done. On closer inspection, as we were leaving, the kitchen appeared dirty and disorganised but it's cheap and that's enough for some people I guess.

weird, because i´ve been to that restaurant plenty of times, and had nothing but pleasant experience there..never seen any cockroaches or anything that looks remotely like one. true, the waiters could be grumpy at times, especially when it´s really crowded, but other than that i can totally recommend this place
