bianc in Hamburg

I visited Bianc Restaurant in Hamburg with two friends, eager to end our weekend trip with a Michelin-starred experience. The restaurant’s ambiance impressed us initially—minimalistic yet intriguing, and with an open kitchen that clearly set the focus on the food. We were excited to try the Emotion menu with wine pairing, as Chef Matteo Ferrantino’s reputation for refined creativity and clear flavors intrigued us. The food, without a doubt, was excellent. Each dish was a thoughtful expression of the chef's creativity and craftsmanship, elevating quality ingredients in an impressive way. However, the evening's experience was marred by several service missteps. While the restaurant was fully booked, it took a noticeable amount of time for service to properly start, and unfortunately, it felt as though we were overlooked by the staff throughout the night. We were by far the youngest table, and it seemed the staff was more focused on the other guests, likely because they didn’t take us seriously. A significant issue occurred when we were served the wrong course. The plates were quickly whisked away from our table and placed directly onto the neighboring table, even though we had already looked over and smelled the dish. This was handled quite unprofessionally by the service staff. Despite the fact that we were practically leaning over the food, they didn’t prepare a new dish for the other table—no apology, nothing. As the evening progressed, service slowed down further, and despite arriving before other guests, we ended up being served after them. The most disappointing aspect, however, was the wine pairing. While the food was outstanding, the wines fell short of expectations. The selections were bland, uninspired, and not at all harmonious with the dishes. For a Michelin-starred restaurant charging €150 for a wine pairing, I expected much more thought and care in the selection process. As someone who enjoys and appreciates wine, I felt the pairings were lacking in depth and failed to complement the dishes. The night took an unfortunate turn at the end when I offered feedback on the experience. Rather than accepting it gracefully, the server became defensive, and the situation escalated when the chef de service joined the conversation. He responded with arrogance, dismissing my concerns, and even questioned my dining experience in Michelin-starred restaurants. It was an unnecessarily unpleasant interaction that left a sour taste at the end of what could have been a lovely evening. His boastful comments about his qualifications and the absurd markup on the wine only made matters worse. We calculated the actual cost of the wines, and it turned out they were charging five times the online price, which felt unreasonable. In the end, we left feeling unwelcomed and disappointed. The food was fantastic, but the unprofessional, rude, and dismissive service ruined what could have been an extraordinary dining experience. I hope the restaurant takes this feedback seriously and improves their service, as the potential for greatness is there.

A place where you feel exclusively welcome and you forget time and space, while enjoying service, kindness and joyful bites. Thank you bianc for this experience!!!

If you like disco, go to bianc! This might look funny, but from around 21:00 the music in the kitchen was turned on and became louder and louder, at a certain moment the dining room felt quiet due to this disturbance. After we asked the lady host if the music could be turned down, it stopped for a while, but started a half hour later again. Food was of good quality, some dishes to salty, many dishes to salty for the taste of my wife. From the start we have been asked if we liked the bites/ courses, which we never experienced in Michelin star restaurants before. We chosen wine pairing for half glasses, and asked to skip one wine because we preferred another wine. The waiters kept pushing for the wine to skip 3 times, they finally skipped it. At reservation I shared the allergies of my wife and with the start of the deserts they turned up with kiwi, one of her allergies. She said she’s allergic and the waiter walked away to check, came back to excuse himself and took her dish and then the lady host came back to take my dish also. If it was Fawlty Towers, it would have been funny. We paid €611 for 2 dinners, 4 half glasses winepairing, 2 kir royal and 1 bottle of Perrier. We normally give a tip if we are completely satisfied, but we weren’t, which I think they saw from our faces, because they didn’t asked when we asked for the bill. They need to scale-up there amateurism in service, skip the loud music and upgrade there dishes, to match everything to a 2* Michelin restaurant and its matching prices.

Everything was great—it's a pleasure to be there with the menu and a good wine. You can visit the kitchen—everyone is very friendly.

Had an amazing experience at Bianc. The food was incredible. Every bite was unique.

What a gorgeous experience here. It's taken me a while to write this review but they honestly deserve this 5 stars. We came to celebrate our 10 year anniversary and the treatment from start to finish was absolutely first class. We were made to feel so special. Our service was exceptional, Li was a dream and the visit from the head chef was such a treat. They really went out of their way to recognise that we were celebrating a special occasion and went above and beyond to make it extra wonderful, from the rose on the table when we arrived to the kind and exceptional treatment of us. We've visited many Michelin star restaurants but the difference here was that the main courses were the stand out performance (everything was amazing but this is the way it should be). I commented that I thought one of the dishes was absolutely fantastic and they brought us another! Even let us try a glass of their tasting menu orange wine because I said I loved orange wine. The head chef invited us into the kitchen at the end. Honestly can't recommend this place enough or thank the folks here for making it start to finish amazing. We honestly felt like royalty. Couldn't have made our night more perfect and so glad we chose to celebrate here

A truly wonderful evening at Bianc. The service was absolutely top-notch, the food a delightful journey through Mediterranean cuisine. Visually and in terms of taste, it was definitely two-Michelin-star quality. The decor was also very elegant. There was plenty of space between the tables, yet it still felt convivial. I can highly recommend it for a special culinary experience. The wine pairings were exquisitely chosen. Absolutely no routine. I didn't even recognize some of the wineries by name. But every wine was a unique experience. Simply wonderful. Thank you for the fantastic evening 🙃.

5 stars - what else?! Sometimes it is difficult with rating systems because is short or long scale better? There is no "half star" here so 5 stars it is. Those are well deserved also, because food quality - tastes, visual expressions, execution, variety - simply all is top notch!! On top of that, service here is really, really great and the host is making a genuine and committed effort in making this a great evening. The kitchen arrangement is welcoming and they encourage guests to look into the kitchen, to see and feel the creation of this lovely food. No bad things to say and the initial comment on the "half star" is only because as what 2-star Michelin restaurants go, we have tried one that is better but we have also tried 2-star Michelin restaurants that were not as good as here... so bottom line - highly recommended to go here and 5 stars well deserved - we would definitely like to come here again!!

It was a truly wonderful and thoroughly enjoyable evening. From the welcome and the brief tour of the house to the table service, everything was of a very high standard – exceptionally friendly, professional, and attentive. The ambiance was simply outstanding. The minimalist table setting and delicate glassware were absolutely superb! The menu was delicious and a feast for the eyes. All in all, highly recommended. Thank you, and I would love to come again.

The welcome at Bianc was warm, and you immediately felt welcome. The open kitchen offers the opportunity to watch the chefs at work. The food (we had both the vegetarian and the fish menu) was excellent from the first course to the last. The wine pairing was also very good, and the wine was always served with some background knowledge. This was definitely not our last visit.

6 stars! A fantastic experience. The atmosphere, the service, not to mention the menu...

I had the great pleasure of dining at Bianc in Hamburg – and it was a truly extraordinary experience. Matteo Ferrantino's Mediterranean-inspired cuisine is creative, finely balanced, and full of surprising flavors. Each course was a small work of art, not only in terms of taste but also visually. I was particularly impressed by the passion with which the food is cooked and served here – you can feel that every detail counts. The only minor criticism: there were sometimes somewhat longer waits between courses, and the portion sizes could have been a bit more generous for my taste. Nevertheless, the positive impression clearly outweighs the negative – Bianc is a place for gourmets who value quality, atmosphere, and culinary refinement.

Well worth the visit. Excellent experience. Excellent service. The chef enthusiastically explained the dishes. The food was delicious. Nice environment. The non-alcoholic drinks were excellent.

Matteo is a very welcoming host, and his team is simply fantastic! Each course features a creative and delicious surprise! We'll definitely be back.

A fantastic experience! Be prepared to spend up to four hours there; we had 12 courses and 14 dishes. What we didn't know beforehand: Instead of a wine pairing, they also offer matching non-alcoholic cocktails :)

We visited in July and chose the Menu Mare without wine pairing. The restaurant is spacious. The service was professional and unobtrusive. The food is of the highest quality. Only the caviar in pastry wasn't entirely convincing. The prices for champagne, wine, and the menu are reasonable. €26 for a tiny grappa isn't exactly. A small mistake was very generously rectified. A clear recommendation.

Excellent food and service. One of my best experiences of resturants

What a lovely evening at Bianc. We were very satisfied from start to finish. The multi-course menu (Mare) was delicious, and the dishes were beautifully presented. You largely determine the pace yourself based on your own eating habits. Halfway through, we took a look in the kitchen and were warmly invited to come closer. The service was also consistently friendly and professional. I think the prices are very reasonable for a two-star restaurant. We'd be happy to come back.

The meal is an unparalleled experience! But unfortunately, you won't be able to fill yourself, which is unacceptable when you pay over €600 for two! Three years ago, things were different. We ordered half a wine pairing, as we were offered. The whole thing costs €100 per person. The half costs €90 (!) per person, as we discovered when paying. That's absolutely not right, and we probably won't be coming back alone. What a shame!

The warm welcome alone captivates you. The ambiance is appealing without being intrusive. The dishes are highly imaginative and innovative without being overly original. Okay, the tuna was a bit overshadowed by a cherry sauce. But he who dares... The wine selection is good, the sommelier is professional. The service is also impressive in every respect. All of this doesn't come for free, but it's worth the effort.

A first-class culinary experience – an evening at bianc A visit to bianc is far more than just a restaurant visit – it's a journey through flavors, textures, and creative compositions that are second to none. As soon as you enter the stylishly decorated restaurant, you sense the exceptional quality of the work here. The atmosphere is elegant, but by no means stiff – warm lighting, tasteful materials, and an eye for detail make the ambiance the perfect setting for a special evening. The heart of the experience, however, is naturally the kitchen. What is celebrated on the plates here is nothing short of great culinary art. Each course is finely balanced, surprising, sometimes playful, but always precisely executed. The flavors balance Mediterranean lightness with Nordic clarity – a fascinating interplay that whets your appetite for more. The sommelier also deserves special praise, guiding you through the evening with impressive expertise, charm, and a keen sense of nuance. The wine pairing isn't just a complement, but an equally important part of the overall experience. Each drop tells its own story and elevates the kitchen's creations to a new level. Overall, the evening at bianc was a truly magnificent experience – a place where taste, atmosphere, and service come together in perfect harmony. For anyone who loves exceptional cuisine and seeks enjoyment at the highest level, bianc is an absolute must in Hamburg.

Many thanks to the wonderful kitchen and service team. We had an unforgettable evening. Some of the dishes will definitely stay with us for a long time. Someone I'd definitely like to mention again is the sommelier. We haven't had such a good wine pairing in a long time. Not pushy or chasing any trends, but rather wines that were precisely matched to the meal, which were explained with charm and dexterity, without losing sight of the essence. The non-alcoholic pairing was also a hit. Thank you so much and keep it up.

A truly excellent, varied menu with excellent non-alcoholic drinks. A delicious experience!

Yesterday, as a couple, we went to Bianc. What can I say? It was outstanding! By far one of the best Michelin-starred restaurants. The service was seamless, and the staff was incredibly friendly and competent. The presentation of the food and drinks was very appealing. The taste was an explosion of flavor. We will definitely be back.

Simply 5/5, so delicious! The food is beautiful and tastes amazing, the service is top-notch, you get everything you need, and the food doesn't take long to arrive. Not only is the food wonderful, but the restaurant interior is too. It's so lovely; there's an olive tree in the middle, and the rest are tables. I can only highly recommend eating there at least once; there are no disappointments, only positive experiences.

Ein wirklich tolles Restaurant. Wir hatten einen wirklich spannenden Abend, jeder Gang war eine echte Überraschungstüte.Es gibt natürlich eine Menükarte, aber kein Gang sah optisch so aus, wie man es erwartet hatte. Ganz tolles Konzept, alles, aber wirklich alles war sehr sehr lecker, ohne Ausnahme, wir waren begeistert. Superliebe Servicemitarbeiter, ganz lieben Dank nochmal an dieser Stelle, und vielen Dank nochmal für die vielen vielen Eiswürfel an diesem entsetzlich heißen 2.Juliabend!! Wir werden das Bianc unbedingt wieder besuchen und auch unseren Freunden weiterempfehlen. Ganz toll und eine sehr erfrischende Ausnahmeerscheinung abseits vom Mainstream , super kreativ🥰🙂👍👍👍

Meine Frau und ich waren am 27.06. im Bianc. Es war ein unvergesslicher Abend. Ein tolles und hoch engagiertes Team. Gute Laune, sehr aufmerksam. Speisen auf höchstem Niveau, schon vom Einkauf (Tränenerbsen, wo bekommt man so etwas) mit Kabeljau. Was für ein Vergnügen. Ich habe uns das wunderbare Kochbuch von Matteo geschenkt, dass er dann selbst signiert hat. Schon das Stöbern im Buch macht Freude. Wir kommen bald wieder

Una experiencia muy agradable de principio a fin, unas 4 horas. Los platos eran perfectos, sutiles y delicados. El chef confía en su idea de dejar que los ingridios hablen por sí mismos. 17 porciones y no estábamos hartos! Tuvimos una buena botella de Mersault en lugar del maridaje de vinos. Creo que fue una buena elección a un buen precio. También visitamos la cocina y vimos cómo se preparaban los platos. Si hay un pequeño problema es que hacía un poco de calor en el comedor.

This was my second time at Bianc, and for me, it's the best of the 1-3 Michelin-starred restaurants I've visited in Hamburg so far. A great experience, better than Haerlin and Table, for example, in my opinion, and also in terms of value for money.

Really enjoy the food and the vibe! I went by myself and spent 4h for dinner.

Food: The food was extremely disappointing. Many courses could have been skipped. We sat there for almost four hours, and at some point, we just wanted to go home, completely fed up. It simply took far too long for the food to arrive. It felt like a factory, as if they were just rushing through every table. The portions were also tiny, so you were finished in seconds. In the end, you went home hungry, having paid a lot of money. It leaves a bad taste in your mouth. Service: The service staff was too "professional" for my taste, lacking any genuine, human touch. Ambiance: I found the restaurant's design too sterile and functional. The only thing that stood out was the olive tree. Conclusion: At a price of at least €300 per person, I expected to at least leave satisfied and to enjoy a pleasant atmosphere. Unfortunately, in retrospect, it wasn't worth it.

The evening at Bianc was fantastic. We had requested a vegan menu and a vegetarian gluten-free menu. Both were excellent and superbly executed (2-star level). We lacked nothing. Upon arrival, guests were encouraged to visit the kitchen pass during the evening and chat with the chefs. We did this, and everyone was very warm and friendly. It was interesting to watch the chefs at their meticulous work. It was a truly wonderful evening. We were there for almost five hours, and although that's a long time for dinner, we weren't bored for a single moment and had a fantastic experience.

Restaurant Bianc – A Thoughtfully Crafted Experience From the moment we booked, Restaurant Bianc showed an impressive level of care. A few days before our visit, they reached out to confirm our reservation and even checked for potential food allergies. A simple gesture, but one that set the tone for the evening. Upon arrival, we were warmly welcomed and given an introduction to the restaurant’s architecture—a unique and personal touch that made us feel like more than just customers. The attention to detail continued with the food. The first bite, a delicate olive explosion paired with a homemade grissini, was a surprising and flavorful start to the meal. The dishes that followed were small, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. Every plate was like a miniature piece of art, making it almost difficult to disturb the perfect arrangement. One small but memorable detail was the replacement of our napkins whenever we stepped away from the table—a subtle yet thoughtful act that added to the sense of refinement. The staff at Bianc were exceptional. They spoke fluent German but also had excellent English, engaging with us and answering every question with enthusiasm. Every aspect of the dining experience was carefully planned—from the shape of the plates to the precise temperature of each dish, ensuring the perfect balance of flavors alongside the thoughtfully chosen wine pairings. Restaurant Bianc is more than just a place to eat; it’s an experience where every detail is considered. If you appreciate fine dining that goes beyond just the food, this is a place worth visiting.

They tried very hard to get rid of us.

The best food, outstanding service, amazing ambiance, and the best overall experience I've ever had. Wow!

Amazing experience and exquisite food!

Ich hatte das große Vergnügen, im Bianc das 1. mal zu speisen – und war ehrlich sprachlos. Das Menü war einfach nur eine wahre Meisterleistung in jeder Hinsicht. Jedes einzelne Gericht war ein kleines Kunstwerk. Geschmacklich präzise, harmonisch – eine echte Geschmacksexplosion auf höchstem Niveau. Die Menüzusammenstellung war nicht nur kreativ, sondern auch wunderbar abgestimmt. Man spürt, dass hier mit großer Leidenschaft und großem handwerklichem Können gearbeitet wird. Der Service war herausragend: professionell, herzlich und aufmerksam, ohne dabei jemals aufdringlich zu wirken. Jeder Gang wurde mit viel Wissen und Begeisterung präsentiert – man fühlt sich vom ersten Moment an willkommen und geschätzt. Auch das Ambiente trägt seinen Teil zum Gesamterlebnis bei. Angelehnt an Appulien, modern und stilvoll noch dazu- ein Ort, an dem man sich gerne Zeit nimmt, um den Abend voll auszukosten. Da wir schon in mehreren Sterne-Restaurants gegessen haben, waren wir umso überraschter, das Matteo Ferrantino selbst beim Service und vorstellen der Gänge dabei war. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!!!

It was an all-around successful evening. The menu was fantastic overall and very intelligently presented in its sequence. It was a skillful interplay of flavor profiles, each with varying strengths and textures. The craftsmanship was consistently excellent: from perfectly emulsified sauces to molecular tricks, everything felt of the highest quality. The wine pairings were superbly selected and brought out the very best in each course. The service was friendly, precise, and attentive, albeit rather formal for our taste. We would have appreciated a bit more warmth and informality, such as Matteo's obligatory visit to each table. However, we understand that this is hardly feasible at a two-star level. The excellent value for money deserves special mention. We paid less than €340 per person: for the champagne aperitif, menu, wine pairing, and water.

Great service, ambiance, and finally a Michelin-starred restaurant with plenty of surprises and impeccable craftsmanship. Everything was perfect. We'd be happy to go back.

This was our third time here and it was another culinary experience.

We spent a fantastic evening at Bianc. Excellent personal, attentive service, fantastic food and a successful wine pairing, in a wonderful ambience. A big compliment to the whole very harmonious, committed team. We will be back and can only recommend a visit.

Expérience exceptionnelle, inoubliable, tant dans la recherche des plats que des saveurs. L'endroit est très chaleureux, l'accueil et le service sont emprunts de gentillesse. Nous avons eu la chance d'être conviés dans la cuisine et d'avoir pu remercier les cuisiniers de leur superbe travail. Un vrai plaisir.

5 stars for a 2 star restaurant!

A trip to a small oasis of well-being with perfect service and incredibly good compositions. It was a very special experience with an exciting world of aromas and a creative and varied menu. All in all a very successful evening. We'll definitely be back!

Overall, a very well-rounded affair. From the great service to the fantastic food, it was wonderful. You can feel that the entire team is behind Matteo. We were allowed to look into the open kitchen and Matteo enjoyed answering our questions. Real works of art on the plates:

Yes, that's simply part of a visit to Hamburg. The prices are high, but the value is worth it, as the service is worth it. I'd be happy to come back again.

I reserved a table using the app TheFork. On the day of the reservation, I wanted to cancel, but shortly after, I received a call from the restaurant informing me that if we didn't show up, we would still have to pay €100 per person. So we went, but with little enthusiasm, as it doesn't feel good to feel forced into something. We chose the "Emotion" menu. Unfortunately, I have to say that out of the many courses, I actually enjoyed maybe one or two dishes. The presentation was elaborate, but the menu didn't impress me in terms of taste – lots of decoration, little flavor. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant for a first Michelin-starred experience. The two of us paid €620 without alcohol, which I think is far too expensive for what was offered. And I've been to several Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, but never has it been so boring and disappointing in terms of taste. The service and staff were very friendly, but I come to a restaurant like this to have a special taste experience, and that's exactly what was missing here.

Thanks to the whole team for an all-round successful evening.

Unfortunately not as hoped. The welcome was great and also the first impression. Then unfortunately the tide turned, the longer we were there. The dining room is very clear and open, except for the olive tree. With around 14 tables there, the noise level got a bit annoying after a while. To understand the waiter, you have to listen carefully. The dishes are okay, but I was missing that certain something. Since I've already been to similar restaurants, I can also rate this and I'm very surprised at most of the reviews that some people didn't mind. Maybe no one dares to say anything. The time between courses is far too long, so after 4 hours I hoped it would finally be over. So next time I'll go to 'Altberaten' because I know what I'm getting. Really a shame!

Very friendly reception with steadily increasing toughness in the process. After FOUR hours, three courses of the 6-course menu were still open, so we left in frustration. The farewell was friendly. The announced contact has not yet taken place four days later. I waited extra to give the review to give myself time to get in touch. It has now expired. The food was visually very good and varied, unfortunately there was no explosion or special taste in terms of taste. Very disappointing from that point of view. The wines were very good and some special. The head was fine the next morning. It's a shame, we were very hopeful and unfortunately we were disappointed. €750 was extremely too much for such an evening

One of the best restaurants I’ve tried in Germany. The food was genial

An incredible variety of wonderful aromas melt around the palate, taking the finest works of art away from your eyes. Tears of happiness drum on the napkin.

Well, of course the food in a 2-star restaurant is delicious and meets all expectations. Nevertheless, next time I would rather go back to Lakeside or 100/200. At Bianc I had the historic, upscale restaurant feeling that the service was more distinguished than the guests. I also understand that it's boring to rattle off the same menu 10 times a night, but since we can read, that wouldn't have been necessary. Nevertheless, the Bianc is worth the money and if I frequented multi-star restaurants more than once a year, they would also get a second chance. Maybe they'll loosen up at some point.

An extraordinary experience! From the first moment you feel welcome and well looked after at Bianc. The culinary creations were not only visually impressive, but also outstanding in terms of taste - creative, finely tuned and full of surprises. Everything was thought out down to the smallest detail. The service was excellent and professional, the atmosphere stylish and cozy at the same time! An evening that we will remember for a long time. We'd love to come back!

I had the pleasure of dining at the “bianc” restaurant in Hamburg and can only say that it was an unforgettable experience. The menu was not only diverse, but also consistently excellent - each course was a masterpiece in itself, impressing both in terms of taste and visuals. I would particularly like to highlight the exceptional non-alcoholic drink pairing. The carefully selected drinks really harmonized perfectly with the dishes and offered a refreshing and tastefully balanced complement. The ambience of the restaurant is cozy and welcoming, which made the dining experience even more enjoyable. The staff were extremely friendly and attentive without being intrusive. Their knowledge of the food and drinks helped us feel welcome and well looked after at all times. Overall, my visit to “bianc” was a real pleasure and I can only warmly recommend it. A place that meets the highest gastronomic standards and leaves a lasting impression!

What a wonderful night! And even though each of your guests will initially focus on the cuisine, I would like to consciously look beyond that: your location, the atmosphere, the team were great; you are all wonderful hosts! Thank you all very much for the lovely evening and your wonderful company. loved to be with you - next time in Hamburg we would love to be with you again!

We had a great evening - beyond the food and service, the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment was a special highlight that is unrivaled to date.

We were at Bianc a few years ago. At that time. like today we are absolutely thrilled. Even a fire alarm with 10 minutes of "fresh air" couldn't dampen the enthusiasm. The service was a bit inattentive, but this could also have been due to the fire alarm, which caused a bit of confusion. I found the wine list to be very sporty. Here, especially with Italian wines, it would be advisable to stock up on wines under €100.

That was a mega evening at Bianc! It started with the great service from Ursula, who welcomed us and let us into the parking garage. Then we went charmingly into the restaurant via the delivery entrance. The decor was warm and also seemed cozy. We were greeted by Matteo and then chose our food. Every course was a poem! Very tasty and very cleverly prepared and presented. Luckily the atmosphere wasn't too stiff and the service was always friendly, very attentive and yet relaxed. We liked that - we'll be back.

Tatsächlich fast zu günstige Berechnung der Speisen für das Kind, das war echt sehr nett. Alles in einem ein sehr schöner Abend, wenn auch mit manchen nicht erwarteten Schwächen.

It's been a few months since our evening at Bianc, but I can still imagine myself in the wonderful atmosphere and can almost still taste the diverse flavors of the Mediterranean-influenced menu. The evening was like a four-hour trip to Italy, Spain and Portugal with pleasures at the highest level. The ambience is simple and reserved, almost private, also supported by the lighting concept, the service is unobtrusive, perfect and very personal. Thank you to the whole team and the host for this wonderful evening.

Dear Bianc team, it was nice with you 🥳 we were able to enjoy my birthday present with you on Friday December 6th, 2024. The four of us ordered the 6-course menu with wine accompaniment, what an experience, the menu with 15 delicacies was incredible Delicious, the service was a plus, the wine accompaniment was excellent and the refills were friendly. With a lot of respect, we were always happy to stop by the kitchen and watch how much delicacy and concentration the dishes were prepared, for all of this we give all 4, 110 out of 100 points! Dear Matteo (sorry, allow me to use dozens of you), when we asked for a photo with you as a nice souvenir, you gave us something very special. The photos in the kitchen with all of you and then with you, my dear Matteo, gave us a memory that we will never forget, thank you very much for that 🙏 Please keep it up, you can all be very proud of yourselves, Regina, Karin, Thomas and Holger

It's now been a week since we ate at Bianc and not a day goes by where we keep telling each other how outstanding that evening was. We were welcomed by the incredibly friendly Ursula, who first explained to us the concept of the restaurant with the small piazza, the Italian floor and wood from Matteo Ferrantino's homeland. In short, a beautiful place to really enjoy. The drinks, I had a wine accompaniment to the menu, were absolutely reasonable in terms of price and harmonized perfectly. The sommelier clearly enjoyed her job. The food was so outstanding that we can't put it into words. For me and my companion it is currently number one among the top restaurants. All of this paired with perfect service! Of course we had to buy the cookbook Simple and Sexy, it's a lot of fun to leaf through it and makes you look forward to your next visit to Hamburg. Ursula, Matteo and team: we can hardly wait!

I've had the opportunity to visit the bianc several times, both when it had one and two stars, and was thrilled every time. The food is extremely creative and artfully prepared, and the serving is like a perfectly coordinated theater piece, with each course offering a new surprise. The interplay of dishes and flavors is fantastic. The wine recommendations – from both the previous sommelier and the current sommelier – were also excellent. The individual support in advance is particularly impressive: a completely individual menu was created for a companion with dozens of allergies and intolerances and a gluten-free, celiac disease-compliant menu was also perfectly implemented and was in no way inferior to the other menus. Matteo is a great host, the stylishly furnished restaurant with an open kitchen completes the experience. The price is high, but absolutely reasonable for the level offered. Regardless of the star rating, the perfect quality of the food and service has always impressed.

Our first visit to a 2-star restaurant and we had a wonderful evening. Admittedly, we didn't think the whole evening there would last 4.5-5 hours, but it was a wonderful experience and we enjoyed every course.

Wir haben im bianc einen wundervollen Abend verbracht. Die Mitarbeiter waren alle supernett vom Service bis hin zur Küche. Das Ambiente wunderschön italienisch, was uns als Italien Liebhaber besonders gut gefallen hat 😀 Das Essen war mehr als hervorragend, so viele genussvolle Gänge mit optischen und geschmacklichen Highlights. Vielen lieben Dank für diesen tollen Abend an Matteo und seine superliebe Frau. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder!

Quo vadis Bianc? Unfortunately, the last visit was a big disappointment. Gone are the amuse bouches that Matteo presented so wonderfully (he didn't appear at the table), gone is the bread aisle, gone are the premium products. The service was imprecise, once the food was served from the left, once from the right, water wasn't refilled for 30 minutes, the courses came at irregular intervals, sometimes 10, sometimes 30 minutes. Only the price remained, I left 430 euros for one person, which is almost exactly a net weekly wage in Germany (net equivalent income). From my point of view, the Bianc is no longer a two-star restaurant, but rather a solid one-star restaurant. Too bad!

Dear Bianc team, My wife and I should be able to enjoy a visit to your house this weekend. The first impression of the restaurant made our expectations rise a little higher. Absolutely impressive and harmonious interior. From the terracotta floor, the large olive tree in the middle of the room to towards the wooden ceiling.Absolutely world class.We had decided on the 6-course menu without wine accompaniment.In advance it was very good but then nothing more.The lack of highlights in the individual courses made the menu go to waste.The waiting times between each one too We found the courses (sometimes up to 30 minutes) to be too long. The service is at a high level, absolutely calm, pleasant and professional.

Überragendes Erlebnis in allen Bereichen: Qualität + Service + Atmosphäre! Ein abendfüllendes Erlebnis auf allerhöchstem Niveau! Wir waren nicht zum ersten Mal und garantiert nicht zum letzten Mal Gäste im Bianc. VIELEN DANK!!

It felt like it was more like three stars, but objectively speaking such a rating would probably have been too harsh. However, given the category and price range, the standards are also very high, and must be very high. We chose Bianc for a double special occasion because we had a great evening there two years ago with a fantastic menu. Since then we have recommended the restaurant countless times as our absolute favorite. This hurdle was too high, which is hardly surprising. However, overall we were a bit disappointed because the menu didn't have any real highlights this time. But there were no real weaknesses either. Overall, it's definitely very good, so I don't want to give the wrong impression. Various small weaknesses in the service and the process mean that in the overall assessment our absolute top recommendation is “only” a very good restaurant, which unfortunately no longer does justice to its price at the level offered.

Unforgettable birthday party! The food far exceeds the two stars you're used to elsewhere. Creativity, quality, exorbitant wine and non-alcoholic pairings and then the very personal encounter with everyone including Matteo Ferrantino… a fabulous experience!

A great experience in a great atmosphere. The food was outstanding, the non-alcoholic accompaniment was a hit. The staff did a great job and made the evening an unforgettable event, thank you.

Unfortunately, our evening in the Bianc restaurant did not leave us with the satisfaction we had hoped for. We opted for a 6-course meal without choosing any wine accompaniment. First we chose a white wine and for the following courses a red wine. The variations of the dishes were undoubtedly creatively prepared, under the motto: "Don't rely on what your eyes see." But unfortunately some of the dishes were so salty that they were inedible for us. The staff reacted to our friendly feedback with a certain stubbornness. A short time later our table was visited by Matteo Ferrantino, who explained that Mediterranean cuisine is naturally salty. Of course, chefs often experiment with new flavors and combinations. A strong intuition for aromas, their interactions and the balance between different tastes is important for the development of fine nuances in the food - Mediterranean cuisine is no exception. We found this explanation to be weak, because the art of cooking lies in meeting the tastes of many, if not all, guests. Apparently we're not alone in our assessment after browsing through the previous reviews. Another not insignificant point was the loudness of the staff, who communicated in a way that involuntarily included the surrounding tables in the conversation. When we ordered our wine it was also noted that the white wine selected was the last bottle available, which meant that an additional order was no longer possible. When it came to red wine, we chose a product from the Rome region with a lively character. The wine reminded us of a high quality Moulin à Vent (Gamay grape) and we were curious to find out more about it. The only comment we received was, "Yes, just like a Burgundy Pinot Noir, only three times cheaper." Although we politely pointed out to him that such a comment was inappropriate, he continued to insist on his view. In this context, it seemed as if the employees were leaning their statements in a way that was detrimental to the atmosphere of the evening. All in all, we cannot recommend the Bianc restaurant and with a final bill of 975 you expect more than to be fobbed off by amateurs. Somehow it is also an expression of an undemanding and superficial zeitgeist. For the same financial framework, you can find truly appealing experiences in other restaurants not listed in the Guide Michelin group and, well fed, you can have fond memories of the evening.

Liebes Bianc-Team, Danke für das exquisite Menü. Wir hatten vegetarisch und einmal ohne Käse und waren begeistert von dem Geschmackserlebnis und der Raffinesse. Die Weinbegleitung war perfekt. Wir sind ganz beseelt hinausgeschwebt. Wir kommen wieder!

The service, the ambience and the surprising interpretation of the individual courses ensured that we had a great evening. The visual, creative presentation of the courses including explanations were excellent. The accompanying wines were a real enrichment and pleasantly surprised us. All of our questions were answered confidently by the sommelier and the team. We were surprised by the elegant, yet casual atmosphere throughout the entire evening. Special highlights: A Vermut was recommended to us as an aperitif and we were absolutely impressed. An incredibly large, transparent ice cube, which only dissolves very slowly, visually enhanced the drink. The kitchen team will be involved in the evening. We were served a course at the kitchen counter and had interesting conversations with the team at the same time. A wonderful evening that thrilled us on this level.

Accogliente. Avvolgente. Cucina eccezionale e servizio eccellente. Siamo rimasti piacevolmente affascinati dalla cucina e dal team.

Really top, top, top. Bianc cooks for its third star, that's how I would describe it, then the dishes and presentation are in no way inferior to Kevin Fehling's. What should be highlighted here, however, is that, unlike Mr Fehling's, the tables are much further apart and you therefore have absolute privacy, which I really appreciate. This is often not the case in other restaurants and you are almost sitting on your neighbor's lap. Thanks for that, I really appreciate it. The restaurant itself seems a little self-centered to me and everything is 100% tailored to Mr. Ferratino. The olive tree in the restaurant is even said to come from his hometown. Maybe you need a story like that in addition to the perfect food to get the third star. We definitely liked it very much. The service works perfectly, which means that everyone at the table gets their food served at the same time, and by simultaneously I mean at the same time, even without a delay of a quarter of a second. The procedure can seem a little stiff. I really liked the Iberico Secreto as a course. Sensationally prepared and super tender and buttery, simply more than PERFECT. Also worth highlighting are the transparent ice cubes, which are certainly to be expected in such an establishment, but are still worth mentioning. I like these "little things". I will definitely come by again after not being there for a while now.

Der Service war sehr freundlich, die Speisen sehr klein und zum Teil ziemlich versalzen. Die Weinbegleitung hat uns oft nicht geschmeckt, es waren sehr ausgefallene Weine und alte Reben, die die Speisen oft überlagert haben. Außerdem wurde zu zwei Gängen gar kein Wein gereicht. Wir können das Restaurant leider nicht weiterempfehlen 

Wundervoller Service. Tolles Team. Klasse eingespielt. Über das Essen muss ich nicht viel sagen. Allerhöchstes Niveau. Ich bedanke mich bei allen Teammitgliedern die alles im Griff haben und das Erlebnis ermöglichen.

Unique culinary experience, very good service, great atmosphere! This evening will remain unforgettable. Thanks for that!

Food was truly amazing, this was our second time and we decided to celebrate our 14 wedding anniversary there as we knew it would be great (based on our first experience) unfortunately we were not that lucky this time, although food was really amazing, beautiful, creative, great taste, service was not great 😵‍💫 it all started well but after a while they kind of ‘forgot’ we were there and left us unattended so we had to eat some of our dishes without nothing to pair (drink). At some point we were just waiting for someone to notice we were trying to get something to drink but just decided to ask for the check and leave, no one supported us to the door to get coats and stuff, which is common at restaurants in this level though. Shame cause food wise is really wonderful but I honestly dont feel like going back ever again.

Bianc gave us an absolutely unforgettable evening! Making a reservation at a 2* restaurant was a bit of an adventure for us. We saved up to enjoy the visit as a mini vacation and then the opportunity finally arose. I could now rave about the culinary details, but the truly extraordinary ambience created by the team is my biggest highlight. We felt completely comfortable and welcome. The warm-hearted interaction in service and kitchen (including with each other) perfects the pleasure of creating the entire menu. By the way, the wine accompaniment also really impressed us. The culinary delights also come to guests in a unique room. I admire how, sitting at the table, you actually feel like you're having a family meal in an open piazza and at the same time an intimate dinner. Nothing is simple, everything is pure - bianc. It tastes like the coast feels, somewhere between Italy and Portugal. THANKS

Matteo Ferrantino's Bianc is one of my favorite restaurants in Hamburg. Why? Because no one knows how to cook light Mediterranean cuisine that essentially tastes like that of an Italian mother. On the one hand there is the lightness, then there is saltiness, acidity, sweetness, fat, umami - everything you know from Mediterranean cuisine. This is soul food, food for the soul at a star level. The portions are small and the dishes are not massive, you are full but don't feel too full. So don't be afraid of the many aisles. Service is excellent and the same applies to the wine accompaniment. Location very nice centrally in the Hafencity. Feels like sitting outside in an Italian piazza, with the Italian floor and the great olive tree in the middle. Everything was very consistent, Matteo is a great host with super positive energy. Tip: reserve in advance and ask for a place in the great open kitchen. It's great to see all these young talented chefs at work. Pro tip: go next door to "pan con tomate", also owned by Matteo. Great Mediterranean tapas, definitely try the glazed baby octopus, great wines, especially the homemade sangria is great. Perfect for afterwork, team dinner, meeting customers or friends. I send all my customers and higher management there and everyone is always super excited. Great price-performance ratio.

Should have been a 2 star Michelin experience. From appetizer to starter we waited 1,15 Hour, food was looking good but very salty, cold or melted. Like it waited on the counter too long. Some dishes was good other not deserving of a 2 star. Wine is only reason they get a higher rating. I think they had a bad day ....

We were in the “bianc” for the first time in August 2021. We had never experienced what was on offer here - in a positive sense, of course - before. Once or twice a year we look for starred restaurants for special occasions that we don't know yet. So we've already eaten a bit of something at this level. On Friday, June 7th, 2024, we were in Hamburg again and really wanted to go back to the “bianc”. Of course, we had the highest expectations and secretly hoped that it would be just as good, if not better - it had received a second star in the meantime. We weren't disappointed! To put it bluntly: everything was perfect! Starting with the friendly welcome to the farewell by Matteo Ferrantino. There were three of us and we all chose the “Emotion” menu; twice with wine accompaniment and once non-alcoholic. Since we are not professional restaurant critics, I won't go into the individual menu courses here - but the conclusion is: overwhelming in all its variety of flavors. Combinations that we had never tried before – simply top notch. In fact, we couldn't find a “favorite course” as everything was simply delicious, including all of the patisserie creations. The wine pairing, presented by Vadim Kremnev, was of course perfectly matched to the menu. Including a few drops that we didn't expect. Great! We will try to buy these again. But the 0% beverage accompaniment was also excellently chosen. Unfortunately, this has still not caught on in some other star-rated restaurants and you have to make your way through the menu with mineral water or a maximum of one or two - often uninspired - non-alcoholic "drinks". As hostess, we were able to get to know Emily Fürstaller, who we immediately liked because of her unpretentious and open-minded nature. Absolutely competent and with her Austrian charm, she and her team impressed with perfection and attentiveness. She and her team didn't miss a thing - they acted like an excellently well-rehearsed orchestra. We felt extremely comfortable. A few short table discussions that went beyond the technical aspects were very amusing. About the ambience: We knew this from our previous visit - and were already impressed by the materials, colors, the beautiful floor tiles - and, last but not least, the olive tree in the middle. For us, the desired impression of an Italian piazza has been well thought out down to the last detail and succeeded. Finally: A wonderful evening that we will remember for a long time. Matteo Ferrantino and Miguel Marquez as well as the entire “bianc” team more than deserve the second star. We're actually wondering what else can be done to get the third one? But we're not professional critics ;-))) The “bianc” is one more reason for us to visit Hamburg more often. WE WILL BE BACK!

I was finally able to get to know the “Bianc” on Thursday evening. After a very friendly and warm welcome, our cloakroom was taken away and we were first introduced to the entire restaurant. A quick look into the open kitchen and then we went into the dining room, which is designed like a piazza that is intended to be reminiscent of Matteo Ferrantino's Italian homeland. Bright, open, spacious, nothing that bothers the eye. The centerpiece of this piazza is the olive tree from Matteo's parents' garden in Puglia. The dishes are a feast for the eyes. Wonderful creations, always surprising in terms of taste and true to the motto “Don’t trust your eyes”. Overall, I enjoyed a solid, creative menu and went home full but not oversaturated. Everything was perfect, both visually and culinary, corresponding to the two Guide Michelin stars, but honestly no more (which would be complaining on a high level and would not do justice to the performance of the entire team (or as Matteo says: the family)). The Bianc family in general: friendly, warm, informal, unconventional: that's how I would describe the service. During one of the Amuses Gueules we were invited into the kitchen and got to know the kitchen crew straight away. We were looked after by highly professional service staff without it ever being inconvenient. When Matteo came to our table at the end of the menu and had a long chat with us, the evening was completely perfect. The only downside: if a regular guest at Matteo's (both in the restaurant and at his cooking courses) hadn't asked if he was still coming to the table, he probably wouldn't have come to his guests for the evening. That would have been a shame and I think that if the patron is in the house (whether in the kitchen or in the office), he should show himself briefly. Somehow you come to the restaurant because of the personalities and not just because of the delicacies. :-) All in all, a fantastic evening that calls for a repeat.

Don't get me wrong, the food was excellent. However my main reason for giving 1 star is because they ensured all allergens would be catered for. I am allergic to nuts and it was made clear that non of my food would have any nuts in it. The waitress then questioned why I was not eating one of the pistachio chocolates. I said it was because i'm allergic to nuts. and she proceeded to explain to me that pistachios are "technically" a seed and not a nut and therefore if i am allergic to nuts i can eat pistachios without dying. I tried to explain to her that i was also allergic to pistachios and she basically argued with me. My party paid a whopping amount of money and i don't expect to be killed or argued with at such a highly rated restaurant. NOT ALLERGEN FRIENDLY

Wonderful evening, fantastic creations with first-class components and wonderfully presented. Great team, it was a lot of fun watching and talking to you in the show kitchen. The service staff is top, even someone from home is there. And the boss Matteo inspires with his passion for cooking, it's nice to talk and chat with him. A really wonderful southern Italian evening in the far north. Absolutely addictive. We will be back

Our dinner at Bianc was probably the best evening i've had. This was the First time eating Michelin food and they did not disappoint. The evening started with a warm welcome and a brief introduction of the Restaurant and continued with excellent service and food throughout. We were introduced to the Kitchen team and Matteo came and greeted us at our table. I will keep recommending this as a hidden Hamburg treasure. Thank you Bianc !!!

Super nice & professional service, spectacular food, and great wine pairings in a stunning ambience!

Sterile….. is what comes to mind about this restaurant. Zero charm, zero character! The service staff runs around like blind, frightened chickens. But you have to say that the creation of the food is above average for fusion Cuisine and probably deserves 2 Michelin stars! Only those who have sufficient taste, apart from ambience and service, will love this restaurant...

Difficult to say. It is true that the restaurant is an upscale one. You can enjoy Chef's philosophy with good company. Wine is also good according to my group But for me, who didn't order wine pairing, it was too long - 4 hours.. And some plates were too salty or only focused on surprise and creativity, not taste. Compared to the cost, the portion wasn't enough either. So far I have had experience from other Michelin restaurants that made me feel at least 80% full. Here 40%... What a shame. Still, it was a good experience.

Our visit to Bianc for fine dining was nothing short of perfection. Every aspect of our experience, from the impeccable dishes to the excellent wine selection, left us thoroughly impressed. Each bite was a culinary delight, and we found it difficult to choose a favorite among the exquisite offerings. The portion sizes were just right, allowing us to savor every flavor without feeling overly full. The chef's personal touch, coming out to greet us and share his inspirations behind the meal, added an extra layer of enjoyment to the evening. The staff were friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall atmosphere. We also appreciated the sentimental touch of the olive tree from the chef's parent's home. Bianc truly exceeded our expectations and is deserving of high praise.

Hat leider etwas verloren. Früher stand das bianc für eine Art Leichtigkeit und Verspieltheit. Es war mir von mehreren Besuchen mit den kleinen verspielten Tellern auf denen die Grüße aus der Küche serviert wurden in sehr guter Erinnerung. Leider ist das bei unserem gestrigen Besuch nicht mehr so gewesen. Die Grüße waren immer noch sehr gut, aber durch die neue Art der Präsentation hat es ehr die Leichtigkeit verloren. Auch das wir dann für einen weiteren Gruß vom Tisch zur Küche gebracht wurden, empfand ich ehr als kleine Unterbrechung, Störung, als eine gute Art der Präsentation. Die einzelnen Gänge waren von herausragend bis - okk war ganz nett. Was völlig abstürzte war das Hauptgericht, was aus einem kleinen Stück Lamm und einer (1) Stange grünen, kalten Spargel bestand. Der Spargel hat nach Spargel geschmackt nur eben leider kalt, mehr nicht. Das Lamm hatte leider eine sehr zähe Textur und war eben seeehr klein. Dafür war das Dessert wieder ein Highlight, so wie die Pralinen am Ende. Alles in Allem war es gut, aber in meinen Augen als Laie und einfacher Gast keine 2 Sterne, ehr dann doch wieder 1 Stern.

Wonderful place - gorgeous food - friendly, professional service. We were treated to a feast of tastes and textures. Colorful, artistic servings. Fabulous wine in the wine pairing menu. The owner strolls around and engages in small conversations at the tables. The big distance between tables ensures privacy. Acoustics is controlled, which enables an easy conversation without raising the voice. My wife had the Emotion, while I had the Garden. Both menus were great.

Might be the greatest tasting experience I have ever had. The staff welcome you from the moment you enter the restaurant and afterwards everything Runa very smoothly. The restaurant it self is also the most gorgeous restaurant I have ever visited.

Bianc offers an exceptional combination of great food, a thoughtful ambience and outstanding service. We chose the meat-free and the meat-containing menu and were extremely impressed with both. Even the greetings from the kitchen are technically perfect, and in the starters unusual flavors complement each other in a truly fascinating way. The bread is served with an incredibly delicious butter, pushed to such an extreme by orange flavors that you have to be careful not to eat too much here. Because the following courses are all carefully thought out so that you definitely don't get too full. Special mention: the desserts, which are also prepared with high precision and beautifully. Big plus: The food is consistently light and fresh, no heaviness, everything seems wonderfully harmonious. If you really want to complain about something, it's that the meat menu could do with a bit more meat flavors. A good fillet would have been good for the menu. Someone really thought carefully about the ambience. The dining area is grouped around an Italian olive tree, with tables arranged in curved arcs around the tree. It looks like you're sitting in a marketplace. The lighting design is extremely clever: spot lighting directs the focus to your own table and separates it from the neighboring tables. Very subtle and elegant. The cooking area is separated from the dining area by a glass pane. If you want, you can watch the food being prepared. All in all, the atmosphere is wonderfully relaxing, calm and elegant. The best thing, however, is the service, which goes beyond a 2-star level. The sommeliers are not only knowledgeable, but also very pleasantly friendly and approachable. The service was extremely attentive and professional in the best sense of the word. You never have the feeling that something could go wrong here. Everyone knows what everyone else is doing, as if the processes had been ingrained for many years. A perfect team. If you want to spend a truly relaxing evening with first-class food and perfect service, this is the right place for you. A noble Italian in the best sense of the word. Unpretentious, professional and really tasty.

Bianc elevates contemporary fine dining to new heights, making it a haven for seasoned food enthusiasts. My visit was shortly after its opening, which left me in awe of the seamless operation that felt as if the staff had been perfecting their craft together for years—a true testament to the exceptional chef and management team behind the scenes. Upon entering Bianc, the immediate greeting and attentive service set the tone for the evening. The interior, at first glance simple, revealed layers of thoughtful design upon closer inspection. The dining space, divided into two tiers, centers around a striking live olive tree, with the flooring transitioning from rich tumbled tiles to character-filled solid wood as you move between levels. Bianc masterfully balances dim ambiance lighting with spotlighted tables, ensuring the focus remains on the culinary art, your company, and the detailed menu in front of you. This thoughtful lighting design, reminiscent of photography principles, creates an intimate atmosphere within an open setting and beautifully highlights the dishes as if they were performing on stage. The kitchen, visible behind large glass panes, resembles a culinary theater, with bright lights and a tranquil environment that allows guests to witness the meticulous preparation of their meals without the typical kitchen clamor. Opting for the "Emotion" prix fixe menu, I embarked on a 20-course journey (13, if you count the first seven as part of the amuse-bouche) that was nothing short of a culinary masterpiece, with each dish artfully presented and paired with meticulously selected wines, predominantly from Germany. The à la carte menu offers a robust wine selection, presented in a sophisticated box for guests to explore and choose from. My "Emotion" experience began with an array of creatively served amuse-bouches and continued through a main menu featuring dishes like tuna with anchovy and blood orange, lobster with carrot and lemon, and a dessert that was the epitome of a perfect summer day on a plate. Each course was accompanied by a harmonious wine pairing that enhanced the flavors of the dishes. The level of creativity, attention to detail, and passion at Bianc is palpable, from the food and service to the ambiance. Chef Matteo's personal table visits to describe each dish and engage with guests underscore the exceptional dining experience Bianc offers. It's not just a meal; it's a journey that excites the senses and leaves a lasting impression. Bianc stands out as a world-class destination for those who appreciate the art of fine dining. On a side-note, I was absolutely certain after my visit that one day, they would earn a Michelin Star. Sure enough they did...not one, but two.

Vi har spist på mange Michelin-restauranter. Som regel er der en servering der falder lidt ved siden af. Det var der ikke her. Alting var ekstremt velsmagende ned til sidste detalje. Skøn vin til maden og ikke så meget at man blev plakatfuld. Vi er meget imponerede over mad og service. Og vi fik også en god snak med Matteo Ferrantino der gavmildt fortalte om hans passion for maden. Fire en halv time udsøgt kvalitet!

Ambiance is really very pleasant - service is incredibly good & the food is a dream... I was more than impressed & yes you could give more than 5 stars, at least 2 more 7 stars would be only fair - absolutely great 👍
