Elegant seafood-focused restaurant near St. Pauli with a raw bar and a menu built around oysters, crustaceans, and simply prepared fish, popular for both business lunches and celebratory dinners.
Jellyfish is an elegant seafood restaurant near St. Pauli built around a raw bar and a menu focused on oysters, crustaceans, and simply prepared fish rather than heavy sauces or elaborate technique. An oyster platter and a whole roasted turbot are among the most ordered dishes, alongside a lobster bisque that anchors the starter list. The dining room is polished and contemporary, with clean lines and a raw-bar counter that gives the space some of the energy of a seafood market alongside its more formal table seating; it works equally well for a business lunch and a celebratory dinner. The wine list leans toward crisp whites and champagne suited to shellfish and raw preparations, with a knowledgeable staff able to guide pairings by the glass. Reservations are recommended for weekends, when the restaurant draws a mix of business diners and couples marking special occasions.
