Beautiful decor, delicious duck... and the great stops there. My boyfriend and I were there for an anniversary, and we chose Tschebull because it fell within the top three spots in Hamburg for amazing Wienerschnitzel vom Kalb. We had a reservation, and had our choice of tables after the first was too close to a very loud group. We ordered cocktails, and I have to say they were not that great, pricy, and did not even fill a martini glass... I have never had a cocktail look so puny before! We went on and ordered two entries because we wanted to have room for dessert.
My boyfriend ordered the Schnitzel, of course, and I ordered the Kross Gebratene 1/2 Bauernente (1/2 Duck). Its a good thing I did, because the schnitzel was disappointing. It lacked flavor, through we could tell that the meat was of high quality. The sides were potato salad and a berry compote. The potato salad was fabulous, yet the compote took away from the schnitzel and had a funky aftertaste. The duck was superb. I could smell the honey as the waitress set it down in front of me. It came with pickled red cabbage and knödel. Both sides were good, but not outstanding.
Now, here is the one thing that truly bothered me, the service was very inattentive. How inattentive? Well, our table became so full when they brought the dishes, and they did not clear the empty cocktail glasses - the result, my boyfriend knocked his glass off the table. The waitress was totally unconscious to this fact until we told her when she came to take our orders for dessert.
Finally we ordered dessert. We of course had the kaiserschmarrn, ad was disappointed at the lack of balance and dryness to the dish. Balance was lost because there was not enough ice cream to soak each piece of dough in, and then of course it was too dry.
I unfortunately will not be returning to Tschebull. It is too expensive for the eh experience it offers. I would suggest getting your schnitzel fix somewhere else, or if you are bound to spend a lot of money on a dinner look elsewhere in Hamburg, you will surely find a place!
