I was seated at a table near the cold door (snowing outside in Dec) as were other single women and a group of single older women. Separate and unequal, for sure. It's as if the brasserie is trying to get us to leave ASAP bc you and your food will be cold very shortly. The goose tasted good, skin crisp and meat tender. A lot of red cabbage and three potatoes, lightly salted.m but the portion is so tiny. My oysters were tiny. Would they treat Angela Merkel this way if she ate alone? Update: Returned another night with hubby, totally different experience. So, go with a Man, or organize a dine in porters.

The interior is worth a visit alone. It's historical and high-ceilinged and has period-appropriate fixtures. At breakfast/brunch, it seems like the thing to get is the pastry tower. I didn't get that but found the food passable. But you're really there for the ambiance. The second time I came for lunch, I came in with a French friend and she was enchanted with the authentic French offerings on the menu. This restaurant is a gem in Hamburg.

Wonderful breakfast selection and delicious food!…read more On our first day in Hamburg, we wanted a hearty and delicious breakfast to start the day before a long day of sightseeing. We picked Cafe Paris, and we couldn't be happier with our choices. This French cafe has a long history and is hugely popular. We came in at 9 a.m., and the place was packed by 10 am. The interior decor is absolutely beautiful, with wonderful woodwork throughout. The breakfast selection is simple yet diverse, with breakfast themes ranging from French, English, Italian, and American. The stabdard menu comes in German, but an English version is available upon request. There are multiple sides, such as eggs, salad, yogurt, that you can add to complete your breakfast as well. For my breakfast, I chose the Madam Croque in the vegetarian option. It came with two slides of soft bread, with melted cheese, egg, and tomatoes in the middle. The portion was good-sized, and the sandwich was very delicious. I also added a small side of fruit salad. Others in our table had the French breakfast, which came with multiple bakery selection, yogurt, and jam. The American version came with the standard eggs, bacon, pancakes, and orange juice. Our bill for 5 came to around $125 Euros with small tips, which was very reasonable for the quality of the meal. The service was faster than other European restaurants we came across, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend!

After being told several times that someone would tell their colleague to come serve us. We can see the staff from here ignoring us, laissez-faire. And we saw the main host walk out. Update: Order finally taken after a good 30-40 minutes. We chose to order dessert with savory due to the slow service. And the dessert crepe showed up right away on the dirty table with no utensils. And then they walked off. The kid's crepe shows up without salad. We say something. They take it away and bring it back with salad. Then she finds a MAGGOT on it and can't eat anymore. I am so grossed out.

Although the owner is Turkish he managed to create a really nice environment that actually felt like it were French. My one complaint is our server. It was my grandfathers birthday and what the server did was, that he HANDED the champagne glasses. That's right, he didn't set them down on our table as it's usually done. In addition, he had no clue of what a server is supposed to do. He just stood at our table for two minutes straight before asking us what we would like to order. Anyway the food was fabulous. I had the snails and the Fillet cafe de Paris. It is quite expensive but definitely worth it.

Highly recommended for good Galettes!

The patio outside was gorgeous and so relaxing in this chaotic city. For starters, they gave us a bread basket which was really delicious. All the condiments that came with it were good as well. Personally loved the kelp butter the most and wasn't a fan of the wine sauce with the dill. But my friend preferred this one so to each their own. They also gave us goat cheese coated in nuts as a starter as well. This was fresh and was a nice summer starter. We got the Hugo spritz and the Tempranillo red wine. The wine was good and went well with the food. For our mains we got the champagne risotto with the asparagus and the lamb filet with short rib and asparagus. These were the specials for the night. Both were cooked well but the short rib was too salty for me. Also the risotto was clumped in some parts which was disappointing. For dessert we had the licorice dessert with blueberry. I'm not a licorice fan but decided to give it a chance. Luckily the flavor wasn't strong but it was there. Not my favorite but the blueberry parts were tasty. The service was a stand out and the people were so nice. The English was also very good and we had no problems communicating. Especially was grateful when I accidentally made a reservation for the next night and they were able to seat us the night we went no problem. Would recommend this place for the ambiance most definitely and the food was pretty good as well.
