Petit Bonheur in Hamburg

The restaurant is excellent! We had a great time.

We've been to Hamburg so many times and only just discovered this fantastic restaurant. We ate there the evening before New Year's Eve and were absolutely delighted. The food was superb, the service excellent, incredibly polite, and very attentive. They always noticed when our glasses were empty and asked if we'd like a dessert wine with our chosen appetizer. We were greeted by the owner himself and, at his suggestion, were given a quieter table away from a larger group. Fantastic service! The ambiance is beautifully French and pleasant. The staff works calmly and professionally. We would definitely recommend Petit Bonheur and will certainly return on our next visit to Hamburg. Keep up the great work!

A truly fantastic restaurant! Outstanding food, excellent drinks, and wonderful service: very attentive, very friendly, yet unobtrusive and without a hint of snobbery. We discovered it through "Taste Twelve" and will certainly visit again next year, even without the discount.

We've been there twice in a very short time. I don't understand how I could have lived in Hamburg for 11 years and never ended up here. The reviews are absolutely deserved. The food is truly outstanding, the service is very friendly, and the restaurant has a wonderful French flair. Whether for dinner or lunch (we've done both), it comes with my highest recommendation. The owner is incredibly friendly and attentive. I can wholeheartedly recommend that anyone visiting Hamburg eat here. We will definitely be back.

Everything fantastic, not only food but also the atmosphere, ich you want to enjoy a beautiful night with delicious food, this would be a great choice.

A taste of France in Hamburg; classic dishes straight out of a Bocuse cookbook from the 70s. All gluten-free options available; fantastic wine list! Thank you so much for the wonderful evening at "Heimat"!

An absolute gem and a must for every lover of French cuisine.

My wife and I visited this wonderful restaurant with TASTE TWELVE. It was a perfect evening. We felt very comfortable throughout; such attentive yet unobtrusive service is rare these days. The food (including the bouillabaisse) was excellent. A perfect location for dates, business lunches, and Francophiles.

Highly recommended. Delicious food and very friendly staff.

French Evening 🇫🇷 in Hamburg … we discovered this lovely restaurant in the Composers' Quarter of the Neustadt district through our 'TASTE TWELVE' guidebook. The exceptionally attentive service and wonderful food made this visit a true delight. We chose a 3- and 4-course menu from the 🍂 autumn menu. We'd love to come back!

Excellent food. Great atmosphere.

A fantastic restaurant, true savoir-vivre in Hamburg thanks to the sensational owner and host. A culinary delight, in short, an experience! Thank you for the wonderful and delicious hours!

We had a wonderful evening there. From the welcome to the farewell, it was perfect. The service was very attentive, the food excellent, the atmosphere great, and the owner was very thoughtful and made the evening an unforgettable experience. We will definitely be back.

Hello, I've lived around the corner for 15 years and finally made it there last Friday. To cut to the chase, I'll be a regular now. The atmosphere was fantastic, the team incredibly competent yet friendly and relaxed, and the food was amazing. I had scallops as a starter, boneless roast goose leg, and sorbet for dessert. The accompanying wine was also delicious. A perfect evening all around! The price was more than justified. Thank you so much!

Petit Bonheur has quickly become my favorite spot in the city. Great food and fabulous drinks, along with unmistakable hospitality, make for a wonderful dining experience. If you're looking for a high-quality experience, you'll get your money's worth here.

The meal was certainly good, and the service was good too, but in my opinion, that doesn't justify the exorbitant prices. €45 for a plate of pasta with three shrimp is excessive. The crème brûlée for €13: OK, it's good, even if too sweet for my taste, but even in France, in very good restaurants, you pay €8 for it. A big drawback for me: the bread! It's frozen industrial bread. When I pay €100 per person, I expect everything to be of high quality. Being French, a good artisanal baguette has nothing to do with the bread served, and it spoils part of the experience, especially if you order cheese for dessert... One last little thing to correct on the menu because it's not quite right: grilled Lyon sausage, not grilled! In short, it's good, but expensive.

Wow!! We had such a wonderful evening at Petit Bonheur. From the moment we greeted you to the moment we left, the service was simply wonderful :) The food was delicious, and the onion soup and the Île flottante for a sweet finish were particularly impressive. We'll definitely be back! Best wishes ☺️

Perfect service, very attentive. Fantastic food. We felt very comfortable. Tartare. Stuffed goose. Entrecôte. Shrimp. There's something for everyone on the menu.

For all future guests who, like us, aren't necessarily used to fine dining, we'd like to say wonderful service tailored to the guest! We felt extremely welcome, and that from the chef himself, of course. Add to that fantastic cuisine and an inviting dining room. There's nothing to complain about here, and anyone who welcomes a new experience should pay Petit Bonheur a visit; it won't be their last!

A really lovely place with great service and delicious food. Thank you for a lovely evening.

A wonderfully French ambiance where you immediately feel comfortable and welcome. In addition to the top-quality food and drinks, the service impresses with an eye for even the smallest details. The highlight of the evening: a crêpe Suzette prepared at your table by the owner himself. Wonderful!!! The best French restaurant in town and far beyond. Thank you!

Classic French restaurant with high-quality food and top service.

Super friendly and attentive staff! The ambiance is wonderfully cozy and typically French. The food was absolutely delicious – from the classic onion soup and an outstanding lobster soup to the tender ox cheeks and dry-aged entrecôte, everything was perfectly prepared. The cheese selection to finish the meal was a dream! The wines and beers are also excellently selected. An all-around successful experience – authentically French and with great attention to detail. Très bien! 🇫🇷🍷🧀

I celebrated my birthday there, and it was a wonderful evening. The service was extravagant from beginning to end. If you're looking for an unforgettable venue, you'll find it in this atmosphere. I would like to thank the entire team for this spectacular evening, filled with style and class.

The food and service are always more than satisfactory. Here, guests feel truly welcome and completely cared for. Thank you for the culinary experience.

The atmosphere is truly perfect, and you feel like you're in France. The service is very well-coordinated, extremely attentive, and very friendly. There are great wines at fair prices, as well as high-quality wines whose value for money I can't judge. Some of the food is very expensive (bouillabaisse for 45), so we opted for the monthly menu (4 courses for 79). The dishes are presented in a relaxed atmosphere, and the service team begins with a baguette with French salami and whipped butter presented from a tray. In terms of quality, everything was fine, and the white tomato cream soup was a real delight. The braised ox cheek tasted excellent, but not as tender as I'd hoped.

I just want to thank you and you and your fantastic staff, for a fantastic evening at your restaurant Super service super delicious, prepared food, everything was a great and experience Thank you for a lovely evening at your restaurant 5 big stars for the two Danes.

This is a wonderful dinning experience. It is my first time to Harmburg,Germany. I search by myself from Google because I want to have a lunch in Michelle restaurant. Luckily I found that and I enjoy a very delicious dishes but the bill is around 50 Euro. I had a spaghetti dish ,dessert and tea. I hope all if you come here, please no hesitate to book it and enjoy a nice dinning. The environment of restaurant is very suitable for dating or group gathering.

With the utmost care, each dish is brought to perfection in terms of flavor and masterfully balanced down to the last detail. It's perfect, thank you very much, sir!

Simply fantastic. Very nice ambiance. The food and service are excellent. I'm absolutely thrilled.

We're thrilled with the friendly service, the great menu, and the first-class food and wine. We highly recommend it!

Petit Bonheur – a hidden French gem with soul Petit Bonheur is not exactly in the most obvious location, but that is part of its charm. When you first step inside, you quickly realize that you have ended up in a very special place – a small French gem, hidden and intimate. The service is very good; welcoming and attentive without being intrusive. The food is truly delicious, prepared with care and with a clear love for French cuisine. Each dish is an experience in itself. The only small minus – if you can call it that – is that the portions are almost too generous. It takes away a bit of the exclusive feeling, but on the other hand, you definitely don’t go home hungry. Petit Bonheur is a place with soul and character, and it can definitely be recommended to anyone who wants a genuine and warm French dining experience.

Very friendly and welcoming, from the reservation to the farewell. We chose lunchtime (12:00 to 17:00!) to try it out and enjoyed the lunch for €20.00 each, including a coffee/tea specialty to finish, a top offer. Of course, we ordered a drink each, including a French beer and an Alster beer. Some bread and spreads/sliced ​​meats are served before and during the meal. Of course, you can order appetizers and wines, including champagne, but we skipped that. Currently, there are two lunch options, which change monthly, in June 2025: 1. 250g asparagus with potatoes, hollandaise sauce, and a choice of ham or fish; 2. Tagiatelle with truffles. The asparagus, side dish, and fish were very good; the tagiatelle came with a generous amount of white(!) truffle, also very tasty. Both were quite filling, contrary to the common misconception about French cuisine. The quality was excellent and would have been appropriate for a wedding anniversary. For dessert, we ordered one and two scoops of sorbet ice cream. The blackcurrant ice cream was fantastic, and the mandarin orange and strawberry were also delicious. With our final coffees, we paid around €61.00, tipped around €9.00, and the total for the two of us was €70.00. A wonderful experience, with French chansons by Charlez Aznavour and a spacious, beautiful ambiance. What impressed us most was the genuine warmth. We felt welcome throughout and received excellent service, and we stayed for a long time because the timing and location were perfect. Oh yes: it has been awarded several times by the Michelin Guide.

Very good French restaurant. A Hamburg institution.

Found a French restaurant with an ultra-high rating of 4.8 on Google Maps, which I definitely had to check out. The restaurant had plenty of empty seats on a weekday, so it seems walk-ins are fine on regular days. The decor is very Moulin Rouge style? The overall environment is great, perfect for dating. The menu has a ton of choices, everything looked delicious. We ordered three appetizers for two people 😅. Must-try French baked snails, their snails are really super juicy! The garlic butter sauce is incredibly fragrant, and it's super tasty with bread (btw, their butter is also delicious, even I, someone who doesn't like bread, enjoyed it). The appetizer naturally couldn't miss foie gras, with two slices in a plate, perfect for sharing. The foie gras is pan-fried to a crisp outside and tender inside, paired with their rich sauce, it's really amazing. The plate also came with a mushroom-shaped small bread, which is also super tasty! We also ordered a bowl of French onion soup for the appetizer, all French specialties, no sharing, I didn't taste it, but the other person said it was very good. For the main course, I ordered the dry-aged filet 'Café de Paris', the beef was very tender, especially with the unique French sauce, rich and mellow. Unfortunately, their Café de Paris looks different from others in terms of plating, I prefer the kind served on an iron plate with butter sauce underneath, which looks more appetizing. The other person ordered quail for the main course, incredibly tender! After the meal, we saw a cheese trolley and chose cheese instead of dessert. The waiter recommended three special cheeses, tried both soft and hard, paired with jam, we happily wrapped up this French meal. We chose a red wine costing over 150 euros, but honestly, I couldn't tell the difference, it was a waste for me, and he had a headache the next day 😅. Without wine, it would be enough for about 100 euros per person.

A truly fantastic experience! Even though the prices are a bit higher, the overall experience is definitely worth it! We thoroughly enjoyed it! The chef even greeted us personally, and the service was otherwise very competent! We'll be back!

First-class restaurant with great food and great staff. We love going here!

A place that redefines hospitality There are restaurants that don't need another five-star rating – and yet this establishment deserves exactly that: the highest praise. The three of us arrived, the youngest member of the family just a few weeks old, and were welcomed as if we'd been regular customers for years. No frowns, no "Will the baby fit here?", but a disarming smile and the simple sentence: "Your child is welcome here." This spirit of the Grande Nation permeates the entire afternoon. The interior: subtly Parisian, without clichés. The cuisine: a quiet triumph of French craftsmanship. Everything essential has already been said about the dishes in other reviews – they are impeccably composed, punctually seasoned, a harmonious crescendo from appetizer to dessert. A highlight that shouldn't be missed is the crêpe Suzette, prepared at your table. The owner – as charming as a boulevardier on the Left Bank – flambés with a sure hand, letting the orange liqueur flare up in a delicate blue hue. The result: arguably the best Crêpe Suzette in Hamburg, perhaps even Germany. Conclusion Eating here is like traveling to France without leaving the Elbe. Exquisite cuisine, an authentic atmosphere, and a warmth that understands even the crying of a newborn as the music of life. If you want to experience the sound of hospitality at its finest, you should reserve a table – and a Crêpe Suzette. Highly recommended. We'll definitely be back!

Excellent food, impeccable service, upscale prices

The restaurant is a special experience, for special occasions.

Visibly outdated, but still a very nice restaurant. The prices are very high for the quality offered, which is good but not outstanding. The service is attentive and professional.

If you want French, obviously that’s how you found this. I totally recommend it as it serves the occasion with very nice atmosphere. I would say this is a go-to place for celebrating something or fancy date night as the food is of quality. We ordered beef dishes.

Very attentive service, wonderful ambience/music and food that leaves nothing to be desired. Happy to come back 😊

Top service, really. So extremely attentive and prompt, very professional. Was a lot of fun. The 5-course menu was really a lot, but really tasty. The booking as a birthday dinner was also implemented very well with decorations and attention. I can only recommend it.

A slightly more extensive map would be nice.

Certainly one of the best restaurants in Hamburg in terms of food, service and ambience

Petit Bonheur is a truly fabulous restaurant that, after two visits, I can only recommend. A wonderful atmosphere, outstanding food, and service worthy of its name. Thank you so much!

A wonderful experience with special culinary delights! We immediately felt comfortable.

If you like to be tricked and have a good time, you can quickly accept a cognace recommendation for dessert. Excellent quality, unfortunately so is the price. At 30 euros per glass, mentioning this would have been only fair.

Great food, great service, very friendly! ❤️ Thank you very much!

Very good food, extremely attentive host, great team!

For business lunch on a Thursday. I would give 6 stars if that were possible. Excellent food, exceptionally friendly and warm staff AND a real French atmosphere 🍀❤️ I enjoyed every minute.

Highest level! It was a breathtaking evening. I would come here again and again. Great care is taken of the guest. 5 stars are not enough.

Such a nice, warm spot a little hidden near Michel!!! From the homemade lemonade to the real baguette to the cheese cart, sensational! Highly recommended, vive la France 🇫🇷 💙🤍♥️

Very disappointing, My daughter and I were expelled from the restaurant because we spoke to the waiter and the restaurant owner in French. Monsieur probably didn't like my style! We can't judge the food, we didn't even place an order. We went out to eat at Plat du jour that evening. Le plat du jour is an authentic French restaurant. Merci à Jean Pierre and his colleague, You saved our evening. The short visit to le Petit bonheur was anything but happy!!!

Discovered for the first time 10 years ago and have been a fan ever since. Simply GRANDIOS Little France in Hamburg, a visit is a MUST when we are in Hamburg. Thank you dear Efgün

An absolute insider tip in Hamburg! We once again had the pleasure of enjoying our 2025 Brain Storming kick-off dinner in this wonderful French restaurant and it was once again an absolutely great experience that we have been able to enjoy for the 10th year now. The owner, a charismatic and incredibly warm Turkish man, delighted us again with exquisite cuisine prepared at the highest level. The perfect symbiosis of French finesse and a touch of oriental hospitality creates an incomparable ambience. Each dish was a work of art in itself - from the starter to the dessert. Particularly noteworthy is the attention to detail in the presentation and the perfect taste of every single dish. The service also deserves high praise: attentive, warm and always keen to give us an unforgettable evening. As always, the owner provided a personal and family touch. This restaurant is not only a dining experience but also a place where you feel welcome and valued. An absolute recommendation for anyone who wants to experience exceptional French cuisine and authentic hospitality. We will definitely be back – thank you for this wonderful evening!

Very exquisite, gorgeous, fantastic, terrific... delicious

Very tasty, but it also has its price. I have to say it wouldn't be worth it again for me, but everyone is different. The quality is right for the price

First-class restaurant with truly exquisite food and very good, friendly service. A great experience in a beautiful ambience. My intolerances were also addressed very well and conscientiously, which is not always taken into account so kindly. I felt very comfortable and will definitely come back.

It was a really great evening, we sat there for almost 4 hours and had delicious menus plus a few extras. The service was as you would imagine service to be. It doesn't get any better. We'll definitely be back!

It's been two weeks since our first visit to Petit Bonheur, but I feel the need to thank you for a really wonderful evening. Although we came with a dog and an 8-year-old child, which didn't necessarily mean a lot of consumption, we were warmly welcomed by the manager of the house and shown to our seat, from which we had a good overview of the restaurant, which was furnished in a classic bistro style . Aperitif and French salami as a welcome and to combat the first hunger pangs were well received by everyone. We had the winter menu once and a la carte once and a half. The fact that our son wanted the tartare was met with some surprise but very positively. But he also really enjoyed it and our request for small plates to share with the family was happily accommodated. In addition to the tartare, particularly recommended: the scallops and the fish soup! But actually the recommendation applies overall! Many thanks again and a similar Arrigato Gozaimasta to the excellent service!

Great New Year's Eve menu! The food and service were excellent! Thanks for the great experience.

So delicious! A little piece of France in Hamburg! Very attentive service, great advice, we simply felt comfortable. The 3-course menu with chestnut soup, roasted goose leg and a crème brúlée was excellent, just like that Bouillabaisse and the lobster ravioli. And then Crêpe Suzette prepared and flambéed at the table! Everything was much better than hoped, we would love to come back.

Great food with great quality and fantastic service. Highly recommended! But also fair prices!

Went to the restaurant today and as expected, nothing was left to be desired. The restaurant's ambience is perfect. The owner of the restaurant is so present that you can talk to him at any time. The team is great and has a huge amount of knowledge!!! If someone doesn't just want to eat out, but also wants to have an experience, this is the right place!

An absolute delight! This French restaurant is a little piece of France in the middle of the city. The atmosphere is charming and authentic, the service attentive and warm. Every course was an experience - from the perfectly prepared starter to the buttery main course to the heavenly dessert. You can tell that the cooking here is done with love and passion. The owner of this restaurant is a true soul of the house! His passion for excellent gastronomy and hospitality can be felt in every detail. He takes the time to personally welcome his guests and make recommendations that always hit the mark. His charming and warm manner ensures that you immediately feel comfortable and valued. It's rare to experience a host who is so authentic and engaging - a real asset to the restaurant. Thank you for this extraordinary experience! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

We had extremely good experiences at Petit Bonheur. The reception was very friendly, from the very beginning it was conveyed: “You are welcome”. The service is unobtrusive but quick and the dishes are very tasty. The Crèpe Suzette for dessert rounded off the evening perfectly. I'm already looking forward to the next time.

Fine wines, wonderful cuisine, friendly staff

St. Nicolas meant very well to us on St. Nicholas Day today. In the dreary weather we landed in France for culinary delights. Exclusive, not exaggerated service with excellent cuisine and a very good selection of wines. Friendly people who are looked after very lovingly by an equally friendly maître, whose love for his restaurant is evident. An absolute culinary experience. We would like to thank you again very much Mr. Uysal and his team and we will definitely come back!

Lunch time. Inconspicuous side street and then surprisingly bright, tidy and very French-friendly the restaurant with white-covered tables. The nice waiter came to the table with a menu and recommendations. Quick fresh baguette and drinks. Fresh lettuce of the day with a fine vinaigrette. Good open wines and very good fish cooked to perfection. Discreetly friendly questions in between. And the whole thing is really affordable. This is how I imagine a sophisticated restaurant.

We received a very friendly welcome in this cozy and very well-kept French restaurant. The menu contains a number of interesting and sometimes unusual dishes. The quality of the food was excellent. We felt very comfortable here.

The price-performance ratio is definitely right here! Great food with excellent service!

We went there for our wedding anniversary and it was fantastic. Very attentive, friendly and professional service, best onion soup we've ever had. Excellent scallop. The main courses were to die for. Finally, a great crème brûlée. Thank you for this lovely experience.

A very nice restaurant! The Armagnac seems ready to drink.

Pretentious and inauthentic (Almost) nothing is right here. But above all not the price/performance. Linguine and ravioli at the 50 euro limit where you had to meticulously search for the lobster, better prepared at every Italian restaurant. An amuse bouche that wasn't... Certainly our last visit

The only French where a slice of hard sausage is called ameuse bouche and pasta costs 48 euros

Had a menu of turnip soup with blood sausage as a starter and goose leg with red cabbage and dumplings - sensational. Wine accompaniment is very suitable and very nice ambience and the staff tried hard - it is only not for beer drinkers - the French bottled beer is too fruity and special and the Warsteiner on tap is rather lame and stale. Was invited, so no price statement possible, but definitely a recommendation for an upscale dinner.

Excellent food, service, and atmosphere. Great restaurant!

Great restaurant with very friendly service and excellent food!

What can you say? A French restaurant as you would imagine, with top cuisine and great service. We spent four hours there. It seemed like two to us. It's a shame that time flies so quickly during beautiful moments. A great evening! Absolutely recommended.

Highly recommended. The service was great, and the food was even better. Another GREAT NIGHT 😀

Absolutely loved it all! Will revisit as soon as possible

Restaurant staff did an excellent job of dealing with an unfortunate accident at our table

Probably one of the best French restaurants in Hamburg! The dishes are fantastic, the service is courteous and the atmosphere is authentic - as if you were in France. An absolute recommendation for lovers of French cuisine and for gourmets in general. 🙏

First the positive: The service and the food were extremely good. The patron ruined everything. If he only wants regulars and punishes everyone else with ignorance, then he should say so. I I have never been treated so condescendingly. I don't need that. I told the lady at the service and hope she tells the boss. Again, the two people in service were very helpful and friendly. All good for me. Too bad.

WOW 👌!. Really enjoyed the great food at this place. Interesting room, fantastic service and not too expensive. Wonderful salad as the starter, excellent main course of Linguine and good selection of wine in all price brackets. Cool place.

Great service, great food! Overall I can only recommend it. In particular, the great host always makes a visit special.

Extremely courteous and friendly waiters, very tasty food and also a good selection of dishes, good drinks and tasteful furnishings with a nice ambience. My cell phone was even brought after me when I left it behind. Everything was also treated very accommodatingly, as we unfortunately had to cancel the main course during the meal due to my wife's poor health. We will definitely come back and can highly recommend this restaurant!

I was there with colleagues many years ago and remembered the great wines. We then had a colleague from an Asian location visit us and had dinner there. The service was impeccable and attentive. The food was also okay, although I think the price of tagliatelle with three small shrimps was overpriced. The wine is great as always. We had ordered two more limos. One can package featured a doll figure with Asian eyes. One Keller, who was also featured in the Astra beer advertisement, couldn't resist coming to our table, pointing to the can and then to his Asian colleague, making slitted eyes (gesture with his hand) and up to show her and say that the doll figure had the same eyes as her. Totally inappropriate and wrong! I didn't say anything and tried to ignore it because I didn't want to make the situation more embarrassing. I know the guy isn't French, more of an Oriental. But power on the super French is marketing. It certainly wasn't meant in a bad way, but it wasn't appropriate for the price level. I will definitely not go there again with my foreign colleagues.

Comme Dieu en France. We had dinner before going to a concert on April 26, 2024. It was a successful start to the evening. The food is very good and the service is friendly and accommodating.

We were there two days in a row! The first time was by chance because we just wanted to have a coffee. We were so impressed by the service and the desserts that we went there for dinner the next day. It was fantastic. The food is first class, the service was super friendly and attentive. Absolute recommendation! We will definitely remember this address for our next trip to Hamburg!!

Great food, perfect service, everything upscale and definitely worth the money! Highly recommended!

The "Petit Bonheur" offers you a wonderful break with the flair of France.

This restaurant is a massive disappointment. If you've ever enjoyed a meal at a real French place, you should avoid this one because it's nothing like the real deal. It tries to be French but misses the mark completely. The bread they serve is very low quality, dry, and tasteless, the waiters—except for the friendly Alisa—can't speak English. We ordered a pricey wine, and they first tried to serve it warm. By the time we could fix this wine malheur, they had already served the foie gras, which, as a result, got cold by the end. The ravioli, which should have been creamy, ended up swimming in a sauce that was more like soup. Honestly, nothing here lived up to even our lowest expectations. It's recommended by Michelin, but that has to be a mistake or maybe it's just outdated. Avoid!

Definitely not the last time I felt comfortable all around.

First-class French restaurant in Hamburg. Excellent food combined with first-class, unobtrusive and competent service. The patron of the house pays attention to every little detail and provides an unforgettable experience as host. If you are in Hamburg you definitely need to make a reservation here.

I would like to give it 6 stars! Excellent service, enchanting ambience and dishes to perfection! Lots of attention to detail!

We had a severe poisoning after eating oysters. The symptoms were consistent with norovirus infection which is spread by oysters. Potentially, not the fault of the restaurant but definitely their suppliers.

The food was really excellent and finally a welcome change from the usual convenience stuff of other restaurants.
