I've been to Cafe Paris for both breakfast and lunch on separate occasions. Both times I was able…read moreto make a reservation on OpenTable. The restaurant is beautiful. 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!

Sardine Starter- a can of sardines with bread. Waldorf Salad- some coleslaw and frozen shrimp. Atlantic Sole- oh my god, they ruined it. Maybe it was frozen to begin with, but whatever it took, they made it taste like rubber. I had to return it and the chef was comically indignant- as if he were a great (or even good) chef.

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?

We also tried the Skate with citrus & potatoes. The wine list had something for all tastes. Great nerdy stuff for wine lovers or just a little pitcher of wine (house wine) 1/4liter 7€. The quality was great for the price. Sounded like they had it made by winemaker friends. Cool wine bar vibe. We saw people having coffee or wine and others dining lunch. Chocolate mousse was top!!!

The atmosphere was relaxed, cozy and green.The food is mainly considered of the French cousine and it is very delicious. I tried Le Rosbif, which was a very tasteful tartine. For the main course I had a glass of chardonnay, which was a great recommendation to the Confit de Carnard. The duck was delicate with a mixture of elegance. You can clearly see, that the kitchen is very passionate. The dessert selection is not big, but they have what you need after a nice meal. I can recommend the profiteroles. That was just the exceptional ending to a great meal. The service was very helpful and friendly. They make you feel at home. At the end of the day it was a very nice experience! Thank you Bistro Sommelier. I will be very soon back! Vive la france

You can enjoy homemade vegan pasta if you have that preference, gnocchi and ravioli. The sauces are as delicious as they are varied. It was a perfect lunch spot to meet up for a quick lunch break. You order at the bar and they give you a number, then bring out your food right to your table. I'm definitely coming back.

Also because i've been in that cafe before and had nothing to complain about. Two stars will go for the tasty galão and the portuguese croissant, but the service was not as one should expect to get as a very friendly couple. What made us wonder at first was the lack of flexibility about the offer "Large Galão + Panini + Orange juice = 4,90 €" (which is a fair price), but you couldnt get that with a portuguese croissant, not even if you payed the difference in prices for the panini/croissant. Next unfortunate thing was that the glass of orange juice wasnt filled to the mark but round about a centimeter below. Which is all in all not the reason to give two stars, but we felt that the lady behind the counter didnt treat us in any friendly way at all. Even when given a pretty generous tip (13,80 € -- 16,- € = 16%) she not only didnt even say thank you, nor would she smile, but she didnt spare to even look one in the eyes. I worked in cafes and restaurants for more than 8 years and i know its not easy to always be in a great mood, but there are a few basics, you should always be able to cover.
