Le Plat du Jour in Hamburg

Great place - good service, food and atmosphere but very expensive. We needed somewhere to eat late in the afternoon and had seen how cosy it looked the night before. Despite the time there was a nice buzz and it felt warm, cosy and inviting. The service was impeccable and the food delicious. The only thing that let it down was the cost - it set us back the price of a full meal despite only having chosen a few starters. Can highly recommend if you’re happy to pay.

Good food, but ridiculously expensive! Michelin-star prices without the attention to detail of a Michelin-starred restaurant! Be careful with the mineral water; you can spend about 8 euros for a bottle! You could spend your money better!

A very fine and excellent restaurant in Hamburg. Everything was perfect. Thank you, see you next time!

The food is delicious and of high quality. All the dishes, including the desserts, are very tasty. You feel like you're in France. There's lovely French music playing, and the staff are very friendly and polite. I go there every time and always enjoy the wonderful atmosphere.

Excellent food. Attentive and very friendly service, and the ambiance is in the style of a typical French bistro. 😃

This was our first time here and we immediately fell in love with this beautiful restaurant 😍 We'd love to come back again.

This is by far the best French restaurant I've ever tried in Germany! Simply sensational! Everything tasted amazing, and the team was incredibly charming! They are highly professional and truly know their stuff!

I stopped at this restaurant a few years ago on a rainy afternoon. The dishes that came out of the kitchen were picture-perfect. It's French. It's beautiful. It tastes delicious. C'est parfait!

Plat du Jour – what a wonderful evening! The €59 set menu was simply perfect – every course lovingly prepared and absolutely delicious. The waiter made the evening truly special with his wit and charm. A really lovely and enjoyable evening. We'd love to come back!

It doesn't get more French than this... from the warm welcome and the typical interior of a French bistro to the delicious food – from the warm baguette with salted butter to the sea bass fillet and the excellent wine. We felt very comfortable.

We found it unacceptable that the €20 tip was added to the bill without any mention or verbal explanation.

The food was perfect, and the service staff were very friendly and professional.

A truly outstanding experience! We dined at Le Plat du Jour and had a wonderful evening. The ambiance is stylish and authentically French, the service attentive, warm, and absolutely professional. The food was superbly prepared – with meticulous attention to detail, perfectly balanced, and of the highest quality. The wine selection was also excellent and perfectly complemented the dishes. The value for money is very good – quality, atmosphere, and service are simply outstanding in every respect. Highly recommended – we will definitely be back! 🇫🇷🍷✨

A great French restaurant! We visited Le Plat du Jour and thoroughly enjoyed the evening. Since the weather was still so nice, we were able to sit outside – the tables were lovingly set, and the atmosphere was truly pleasant. The service was attentive and friendly, the food delicious and authentic, and the wine pairing was perfect. All in all, a successful visit – we'd love to come back!

If you just want to use the restroom, your politeness probably doesn't count, since you have to pay €2 for it and are then rudely shown away. In return for paying and briefly expressing your opinion, you're immediately told something about the police. You think politeness will achieve the same thing...

French cuisine with very tasty dishes.

A small, fine French restaurant. Excellent food at fair prices. A treat for connoisseurs of fine French cuisine. Fine wines too.

Got a table for four people without booking on a Friday evening on a public holiday. That's not a given, but it was fantastic. The food was great, and so was the service. Highly recommended!

Very nice and authentic French restaurant - definitely recommend!

The service is very attentive and friendly. The rump steak is exceptionally good. We were there for lunch. We'd happily return.

Just a little too loud with all the business lunches on Wednesdays.

Very good food, friendly service, and a fair bill. Highly recommended.

Real France in Hamburg, always happy to come back

A very pleasant French restaurant. Especially recommended for a business lunch. The staff speaks predominantly French and can provide expert advice on wines – something you don't always get in Hamburg. I always enjoy coming back here.

Just like in France! Good food selection, good wines. Very competent and friendly service! Always happy to return.

Definitely my favorite French restaurant in Hamburg. It has an incomparably authentic atmosphere and excellent service. The food is delicious, even if a bit simple at times.

Authentic French cuisine, good wines, very pleasant, friendly atmosphere

Seit ca.15 Jahren besuchen wir dieses für uns hervorragende Lokal. Die letzten beiden Besuche waren allerdings weniger als durchschnittlich. Der Service träge und unfreundlich - Die Speisen kalt und geschmacklich nicht wieder zu erkennen - Dann die Zusammenfassung des Ganzen im Preis verpackt empfanden wir als unverschämt !!! Da sollte sich mal dringend etwas verändern, sonst kommt bald niemand mehr🤷‍♂️

The food is mediocre, and the price (dinner menu, €59, 3 courses) is okay. The service was attentive but completely understaffed. A classic tourist restaurant in the city center, like dozens of other interchangeable ones. We definitely won't be back.

The food was very tasty, but a bit on the expensive side. The menu offers a good variety. However, it gets quite loud when the restaurant fills up, which somewhat spoiled the business lunch.

Druk bezocht. Reserveren aan te raden. Vlotte bediening. Wachttijden beperkt. Sobere presentatie, smaken zijn goed. Prijzen aan de hoge kant.

He estado aquí varias veces, aunque no desde hace algún tiempo. Era un día muy cálido, así que estábamos sentados fuera en una plaza agradable. Tuve una comida de 3 platos y todos los platos eran excelentes. En particular, la suela era perfecta. Personal amable y atento. Esta fue una muy buena experiencia, y sin duda volveré cuando esté en Hamburgo a continuación.

Einmal mehr ein wunderschöner Abend in der so netten Atmosphäre dieses schönen Restaurants. Das Angebot, am Sonntag ab 59€ ein Drei-Gänge-Menu bestellen zu können, ist wirklich wunderbar! Auf Wunsch kann von einer weiteren Tageskarte zusätzlich und z. T. mit Aufpreis gewählt werden. So sollte wirklich jeder etwas finden, was ihm schmeckt. Die Qualität der Speisen ist verlässlich hoch, die Bedienung freundlich und professionell. In Hamburg wirklich eines meiner Lieblingsrestaurants!

One of the very few remaining French restaurants in Hamburg, with very good, authentic French food, a fitting ambiance, right in Hamburg's old town, personal and attentive service, and prices that are rather high, but reasonable. Not for penny pinchers! Highly recommended!

A very cute restaurant with a very authentic French decor. The food was excellent, as was the service. Thank you very much.

Beautiful brasserie-style restaurant. Quiet but central location near Hamburg City Hall. I had fish soup as a starter, followed by chicken liver on mashed potatoes. Both were excellent 👌 Very attentive service, I'd love to come back!

Un toque de Francia justo fuera de los caminos trillados. Me alegro mucho de que hayamos reservado. . . estaba lleno. . . locales y visitantes. El personal de espera estuvo atento, trayendo más pan recién horneado sin que se lo pidieran. El pescado del día fue delicioso Recomendar de todo corazón

An outstanding French restaurant! The appetizer of calamari and snails was sensational! The rump steak was a fantastic main course, and the dessert was a delicious finale! We'll be back!

Very good French restaurant with very good food and impeccable service.

It was supposed to be a culinary evening, I had once heard a lot of praise about Pdj. Unfortunately, I was pretty disappointed! Far too expensive (I'm happy to spend money on a good meal) for such very simple and bland food. SHAME!

Excellent food and a foie gras to rave about.

We liked it very much. As a group of 7 people, we were very lucky to be able to go to the table straight away without a reservation. We were enchanted with a three-course menu after a 2-hour wait. The service was charming, witty & very attentive: while I was caring for my baby, my food was warmed without hesitation and served promptly as soon as I was seated again. The prices are higher, that didn't bother us personally, we felt the price performance was justified in retrospect. The atmosphere, the location, the food - we were all very satisfied. Thank you beaucoup.

Treated in French in Hamburg, nothing more is possible!

We were lucky enough to spontaneously get a table for four people on Saturday evening. The service and the team are unobtrusively charming and the food was very good.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! This restaurant is just the best. The staff and service is great, everybody was friendly, helpful, and very willing to chat. The restaurant and outside sitting area was stunning. The food was top notch, the best salmon I have ever had. The other dishes were so delicious. The wine was also great. The desserts were lavish. You most go here if you are willing to spend a little extra for an amazing meal with great service. I would absolutely recommend!! We were 3 America women.

Es war schon mal besser, das Ambiente und der Service überzeugen nicht. Man sollte das Konzept überdenken und an den noch mehr an die Gäste denken

Everything was delicious, especially the oysters were delicious. And for dessert, Calvados crepe.

Petit Paris in the middle of Hamburg! It was a pleasure and it wasn't our last time here!

As always, a real treat. Absolutely recommended.

This place was recommended to us, and we had a wonderful experience. We started with vineyard snails with parsley-garlic sauce and foie gras, followed by rump steak with pepper sauce with fries. For dessert, we had a chocolate fondant with berry sorbet and a “Normande” crêpe with Calvados. Each dish offered a unique and delightful experience for the palate. The restaurant team was exceptional—refined yet friendly. We would definitely return!

Lovely restaurant with good friendly service. Extensive menu, good food and extensive wine list.

You can enjoy French cuisine in the middle of Hamburg at Le Plat du Jour. The service was attentive, friendly and quick. Price/performance is consistent. We enjoyed it excellently. We'll definitely come back.

You should plan a reservation in advance. Attentive waiters who took good and quick care of the next customer. The food was fabulous and the atmosphere was great too.

Small and fine, pure France. If you reserve in time, you will be treated to culinary delights and very attentively looked after. In summer you can also sit outside in the beautiful square, which is very popular and like a little trip to France.

In any case! Very casual food and friendly service.

A lovely French cuisine place with wonderful service and delicious food. Lobster soup was 10/10.

Análisis: Le Plat du Jour, Hamburgo Le Plat du Jour, a pocos pasos de la Rathaus de Hamburgo, ofrece una encantadora experiencia gastronómica francesa con un interior rústico. Los elementos de madera, papel pintado floral, fotos en blanco y negro, y espejos bien colocados crean un ambiente acogedor pero ligeramente nostálgico. Los tradicionales manteles de cuadros rojos y blancos y papel blanco se suman a su sensación clásica de bistró. La comida está bien ejecutado y muy bien presentado. El carpaccio de salmón era una delicia visual, mientras que el foie gras, servido con brioche tostado, era rico y perfectamente equilibrado. El bacalao atlántico (Kabeljau) con lentejas destacaba, gracias a su excepcional salsa. Para aquellos que cenan un domingo, el menú nocturno de 59 € está disponible todo el día, por lo que es una buena opción de precio. El servicio fue amable y eficiente, pero tenga en cuenta el cargo de servicio del 10% incluido discretamente en la factura, puede confundirse fácilmente con impuestos, así que compruebe cuidadosamente para evitar la doble propina. En general, una opción sólida para la cocina francesa en Hamburgo, con excelentes platos y un ambiente cálido, aunque la transparencia en los cargos por servicio podría mejorarse.

Wir kommen seit 20 Jahren und es war immer sehr gut… aktuell waren wir nicht so begeistert… das Steak kam zunächst rar gebraten obwohl medium bestellt. Es gab natürlich Ersatz. Der 2. Versuch war auf den Punkt gebraten. Leider konnten mein Mann und ich daher nicht zusammen essen. Das Estragonhuehnchen war sehr lecker, die Crêpes normande waren nicht frisch zubereitet. Daher dieses Mal nur befriedigend.

Even after decades, the Plat du Jour has lost none of its magic. We had a fantastic evening with oysters, salmon carpaccio, steak fries, pasta with truffle pesto, cheese and profiteroles. There is also a good selection of wines and very nice champagnes. The service was warm and friendly. We had a great time here and will be back soon!

Unfortunately the price is quite high, but a wonderful ambience, great service, food as usual in small French brasseries.

War zum ersten Mal seit Jahren wieder hier zu Mittagessen. Gleich zwei Überraschungen: das Restaurant war halb leer (war früher mittags immer voll) und die Preise die jetzt fast absurd hoch sind. Die zweite Überraschung erklärt wohl die erste. Essen war gut, Preis / Leistung Verhältnis stimmt aber gar nicht.

Great class, great wines, fantastic food

One of our regular restaurants. Tip: in the late afternoon there is almost always space even without a reservation.

If you speak French - the place to be. Top food. Great atmosphere, but cramped! Doesn't matter! Great place.

A gem, a trip to France, where something like that doesn't happen often anymore, unfortunately

A wonderfully traditional French restaurant with old-school service from people who know their craft to the core and exude a mix of professionalism and hospitality. The dishes are the hus who of traditional French brasserie cuisine, well prepared and all delicious. There is also a wine list that lacks a bit of rounding out, but otherwise okay.

Soooo delicious, THE REFERENCE for French cuisine, 3 course menu for 59€, see you next year!

As expected, good and friendly service and reliable quality even if the (too small!) rump steak wasn't really good. First to “rare” then to “well done” and a bit tough. For 35 euros that's not enough.

I went to this wonderful bistro by chance with my son Max. Great atmosphere. Great food. Very personal service. We were completely satisfied! The friendly boss will never be forgotten. We'll be back.

Great bistro, Very classic and professional service. Recommendation for a nice evening with a French bistro menu

fransız mutfağı ama fransız yemek kalitesinin cok uzağında tavsşye etmem. bahşişte eklenmiş yüzde 10 hesaba. bence nezaketsizlik!

As others have said the food and service is great. It is definitely a bit pricey (the oysters for example the price you see is PER OYSTER not per order...) but it was one of the best meals I had in Hamburg.

There were four of us and we ate very well on a Sunday evening. The kidneys are highly recommended. You won't get these otherwise. Here too, prices have risen sharply. A bottle of Sancerre costs 52.00 euros, very tasty, but...

Great food. Acoustically rather loud. Menu €59 and wines from €39.

There were four of us here and we ate very well and enjoyed good service.

Wonderful....a pleasure and friendliness.....and also very pleasant guests........merci....oh yes you can always find something......and give a review .....it's nice that there are still restaurants like this in private hands.... My bread wasn't dry...my wine was nicely chilled...service wasn't submissive but very attentive.....

We made a reservation at 6 p.m. and were there at 5:30 p.m. We were immediately told that we only had 90 minutes - FROM 5:30 p.m.!! That was a great start. Then they wanted to give us a small table between the kitchen aisle and the cash register. It was only with strong rejection from us that we were given another table. However, this was also at the kitchen (output). A big drawback is that the link to the menu on their website doesn't work. So we relied on what was posted online. However, this is completely irrelevant in terms of price, as the prices have easily increased by €5-8 more! We had rabbit leg + cod. Both dishes tasted good, but in terms of size they were more like appetizers. We didn't get tired of it at all. And €35 ​​for a small piece of cod with a bit of broccoli, 1/2 carrot and some puree is very steep! €11 for a glass of entry-level wine - also completely overpriced! You have to keep in mind that the tables are tiny and you sit right next to your neighbor, shoulder to shoulder. We think that's very bad for a restaurant in this price range! All in all it was ok, but given the completely overpriced prices we definitely won't go there again! P.S.: I have attached the current map - here you can see the current exorbitant prices.

Very nice - food, ambience and service - a truly French experience in Hamburg

We went to this restaurant for the first time yesterday and chose the three-course menu. The fish soup was very special, the bread with the soup was unfortunately a bit hard, but the main course with the shrimp was very tasty. The service was sometimes very friendly. Sometimes there is a fake friendliness that seems very inauthentic. The dessert was very tasty and so were the oysters. We would love to come back for the oysters. The three-course menu is a matter of taste.

Nice little place. Polite and very attentive waiters.

Hierher kommen wir seit 2008 und waren eigentlich immer zufrieden, dieses Mal allerdings nicht. Die Schnecken, einst eine der sehr empfehlenswerten Vorspeisen sind inzwischen von der Portion her äußerst minimalistisch geworden. Geschmacklich sind sie ebenso. Das ganze wird auch ordentlich mit Beiwerk aufgefüllt, damit es nach mehr aussieht, als es ist. Bei den Hauptgängen fielen die Nierchen negativ auf und die Kaninchenkeule, die in der Senfsauce ersoffen ist. Warum man zur Kaninchenkeule eine einzige halbe Möhre reicht, wollen wir lieber nicht fragen. Fazit : Wir kommen wieder, aber wenn es wieder so ist, wie beim letzten Mal, wird es sicher das letzte Mal gewesen sein.

If you don't have the "time" to fly to Paris over the weekend to eat, here's a French place that offers you the same thing. Good French cuisine and nice service. Anyone who has wines recommended will never receive bad advice.

Top price level for a simple kitchen

An absolute taste experience! The fish soup was to die for – so fresh and flavorful. And the lobster bisque was a treat in a class of its own. I would particularly like to highlight the perfectly fried calamari – crispy on the outside, tender on the inside. Every bite was a treat for the taste buds! Compliments to the kitchen and the friendly staff. We'll definitely be back!

The food is delicious, it is kind of a gourmet French restaurant. Be careful when you order a glass of wine, I paid 16.50€ for a glass.

It was in an open area the food was delicious and the place was very hygienic they welcomed us very well and the prices were very affordable thank you very much

Very old school. In other words: completely stuck in the 80s. Food decent, but very traditional. Wines pleasant, but nothing special. Clearly too expensive for what is offered. Service somehow affected, not relaxed and relaxed like in modern bistros.

I was there for a quick lunch and was very satisfied. I had the stuffed chicken leg with tarragon sauce. Really very, very well presented with flawless craftsmanship. The sauce made from jus, cream and tarragon was great. The French fries gratin served with it were great, as were the vegetables. I'll definitely be back.

Let's first say that the food was great. However, the service was mediocre. The wrong starter was served. You had to ask to serve the wine out. There was dirt in my drink. It was hard to get the attention of the waiters, too busy? It missed the flair of a real French restaurant, pity.

Always very good. Service and cuisine are simply top!

Great atmosphere, very friendly staff and very good menus

Wonderful French cuisine Everything like in France. Great service.

Very stylish, good wine selection. We combined a free menu of entrée, main course and dessert Best Patisserie, Mango - sorbet to fall in love with ☕️🍫🍑

Great restaurant, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Hamburg and yet so quiet and relaxed. We had a great evening with very tasty food, good wine and authentic French service.

Hello team from Le Plat du Jour, I'm now coming to you to leave a review on Google, I've been to you a few times and always in a well-groomed outfit, I really enjoy talking about your restaurant in my circles and I'm happy to recommend it real people. A knowledgeable person who knows how to appreciate the demands of this restaurant. Praise again to the waiters in the house, who deliver a very good performance. I encourage another visit. Kind regards and see you next time.

I was here last night for steak (on the menu). First I would like to talk about the service, which is extremely friendly, enthusiastic and attentive. Then there is the food, which is delicious and beautiful. The restaurant is very nice, cozy, everyone is friendly and cheerful. I will definitely come again.

You immediately feel like you've been on vacation in France. Nice welcome, decorated like a bistro in France. We know from our previous visits that good food awaits us. There were four of us and we really enjoyed everything. First I had an avocado mousse with crayfish, then veal liver with potato gratin (very tasty) and pointed cabbage and for dessert an ice cream with orange fillets and Grand Marnier sauce. The other people's starters and main courses were also very, very tasty. The only negative point is the noise and good food has its price. We would love to come back.

Food, service and ambience clear 5 stars. Nevertheless, one star deducted from the overall rating because the prices are quite high. Certainly - the number of service personnel is entitled to appropriate remuneration. Nevertheless, our budget for a “normal” restaurant visit was exceeded. Regarding the food - expectations were fully met. A small point of criticism - I chose the rump steak with pepper sauce. According to the menu it came with fries. It was also served to us “prepared” in this way. From my perspective it looked a bit (I'll call it) reduced. Maybe my lack of expertise is to blame and the focus is only on the pure taste experience of the rump steak and not the appearance. No question - the rump steak was great. Still, the plate as a whole looked a bit sad. Another two small points of criticism - the toilet should be appropriate for a restaurant in this price range. And paper tablecloths don't belong in this price range either. In summary: lovely evening, great food, top staff, very nice atmosphere - it was an experience.
