It is only a small step that leads from the bustling Weidenallee in Hamburg’s Schanzenviertel to an almost Mediterranean vacation atmosphere. The ambience, decorated in white and blue and combined with lots of driftwood, contributes to this – but above all the cuisine by Nils Egtermeyer.
The Jellyfish is no longer an insider tip, but one of the very first addresses in Hamburg when it comes to excellent products from the sea. The first priority is the extremely high product quality, all fish come from line or wild catch. Aquaculture and net fishing are dispensed with without exception. On the other hand, Egtermeyer knows how to deal with these products and to stage them in very different combinations in a constantly new and creative way.
The menu at Jellyfish offers both a compact lunch menu in three courses (35€) and a clear selection of á la carte dishes, which can also be combined in the evening in the form of a menu in four, five or six courses. Unsurprisingly, I naturally opted for the latter option and was thus able to taste a large cross-section of the current dishes.
