Our business partner made a reservation here for 7pm on a Friday evening. We tried to go early, but…read moreto our surprise, the restaurant is only open from 7-11. But at least we had the reservation. The menu has two sides, full of 9-10 courses, which are 200 Euros each per person. We all 3 chose the same side. For the next 3+ hours, we tried a variety of courses. While some were tasty, we did not leave full. The courses were way too spread out compared to other similar experiences. The service was phenomenal and we were treated like VIP. I would recommend coming here if you are ok with a long drawn out experience, because many people enjoy that. We were so ready to leave by the time it was over. But it was a cool experience. Come here for something special.

Just in terms of the art of plating, this restaurant is easily in the top 10 of all time that I…read morehave ever dined at or experienced. Every dish was exceptionally photo-worthy, from multiple angles, and literally compelled you to take out your smartphone and photograph it. Simply put, our dinner was art on a plate. The food here also had many different flavor profiles and flavor combinations that would test the range of many people's palettes. The cuisine is French-Moroccan. Some could easily find it odd or mis-matched. I appreciated it because it was something new and often had me saying "hmmm...interesting...good, but very different." Seven courses per person were a bit on the pricey side -- moths flew out of my wallet after I paid the bill -- but it was a wonderful celebration dinner that night, all in all, for multiple reasons. If you really want to taste something a little bit different, bold, new or refreshing, where the food is beautifully plated, then this is the place.

Karls is just awesome!

It is a small family owned and run restaurant that gives you a very cozy and homey feeling. Alex greets you with a smile when you get in and engrosses you with very interesting stories about origins and history of the food all through the meal as he brings dishes. He really cares about where his ingredients come from and its very evident when he speaks about it. On display are lots of spices, coffee, some baskets from Ethiopia and books next to the windows all centering round the theme of Ethiopia. Some of the coffee and teas are even available to buy. We got a couple of mixed platters which came in the typical style I'm accustomed to. A large circular tray covered with an injera base with meats, vegetables and sauces on top for a couple of people to share together in a communal style of eating. Additional injera was also brought to eat. Everything was absolutely delicious from the bean sauce to the egg, mince etc. We all ate so much that at the end of the meal we had to seat back and relax for a bit before getting up. If that isn't an indicator of a great meal, I don't know what is. As it is both a cafe and ethiopian restaurant, also available are some cakes; the cheese cake looked good but I was just too full to try any and other treats you'd find at a cafe available. As we were in on a Friday night, we also got to experience the coffee making ceremony which they do only on Friday and Saturday nights so I'd recommend making a reservation and coming on those days if you would like to see it. The coffee beans are roasted as per the ceremony and coffee made for you to drink post-meal using the beans.

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!

Except for one of the five courses, all were delicious (and the other was certainly not a disaster ;) just a little pedestrian, easily doable at home).

However, I thoroughly recommend it as lunchtime business venue or evening romantic spot. Situated on the busy Bei den Muhren, overlooking the water, we were able to watch the usual Hamburg weather (bright sunshine then aggressive winds and then torrential rain) rush past in the space of a relaxing 1.5 hours The restaurant itself is large and spacious with an open and modern design. Window tables such as we had I think will be much more pleasant than the inner tables. The 3 course daily lunch menu was excellent and very decent value for this quality of food: A lovely and delicate / frothy asparagus soup, tuna steak on a tomato risotto and a delicate fruit tart with ice-cream. Only minor quibble would be the speed of service - fine for a leisurely evening meal, but perhaps a little slow for a lunchtime off the set menu. But overall a really good discovery. I will be back.
