Restaurant L´Orient in Hamburg

Everything here is fantastic, from the food to the staff to the atmosphere. Thank you!

L'Orient impresses with delicious food and a pleasant atmosphere. Thanks to Mudi for the friendly service – it rounded off the evening.

We reserved an outside table days in advance to celebrate a birthday. When we arrived, they didn't have any. Instead, they had given the table to someone else at the requested time, even though we were on time. Irresponsible behavior!

Yes, the Mediterranean promise is fulfilled.

Such incredibly delicious food, mega authentic, and also such great homemade drinks (spritzers and teas)

Super delicious food, great ambiance, and very friendly and attentive service. We lost one star because we had to wait 10 minutes for the bill and our second drinks. Everything else was great!

Excellent experience with delicious dishes, very well presented, original flavors and charming servers at the top! Very pleasant atmosphere and setting, excellent value for money.

We had a great meal, everything was delicious, the value for money is exceptional! And the staff is very welcoming and helpful!

Always happy to come back, the lunch menu is also highly recommended.

Best we've had in a long time! Highly recommended.

Excellent mezze. Friendly service. It's just incomprehensible why you can't choose freely from the starters, but instead have to select a specific combination of dishes. Patronizing the guest. Therefore, the service is deducted.

We were there in the afternoon. The lunch menu is very well-structured, making it easy to choose, and we were surprised by the quite substantial meal. An absolute recommendation, especially for late afternoon, and well above the standard of a snack bar.

Everything's just right here. The food is exceptionally good. The service couldn't be better. The ambiance is just right.

We ate together at L'Orient. The service was super attentive and helpful when we had any questions. The food was okay. We expected more for that price range. The chef's welcome drink was delicious. We also thought the drinks were okay.

Very good Lebanese cuisine. Not only the various starters, but also the main courses (including the vegetarian ones) are very good. Only the pike-perch from the daily special was a bit too dry, but still very good due to the spices and side dishes. Delicious Lebanese red wine. A small, tasty dessert was also included. Very good and friendly service. Small drawback: very loud when the restaurant is full. Addendum: the lunch menu is also highly recommended. Of course, it's cheaper than the evening menu, and the restaurant isn't as crowded or noisy.

July 5, 2025 - It's been a while since our last visit, but our rating hasn't changed in the slightest! Still first-class food and TOP staff!! Simply first-class... Return visit on July 14, 2023 - still truly PERFECT, as already described below... Exquisite food, a true explosion of flavor, at reasonable prices. Great, attentive staff! Perfect, always happy to return - including on Osterstraße, by the way... Been there for the umpteenth time now, still first-class, great food, and service that couldn't be better! "Our" waiter, his name is Lavante (no idea if that's spelled correctly...), is a real ace! See you next time, guaranteed, Mr. Marouk!! 😉

Very tasty and everyone is friendly

Best Lebanese restaurant I've ever been to. Truly creative cuisine. Highly recommended. Prices are good for the quality, too.

Super delicious lunch. The prices are fair, and there are always two dishes, one of which is vegetarian. I usually like the meatless option even better because it's usually seasoned a bit more creatively.

No, unfortunately we didn't eat there. We wanted to order two appetizers with our meal, but they declined. The explanation was presented very politely. Appetizers are only served with a main course. That's not a very nice attitude. Based on previous reviews, we went to this restaurant specifically. Unfortunately, it was in vain.

The fattoush was very delicious.

Great restaurant with great cuisine. We love coming back.

Perfect service, perfect plates. What else can I say about that? Just look at all the pictures and imagine that it tastes even better than it looks! I also like to stop by for lunch, but in the evening they even go one step further. You can easily bring relatives and business visitors here, and the place is also perfect for a candlelight dinner. Gladly again and again. Thanks alot!

The price/performance ratio for lunch is still good here, even though a set menu is no longer offered at lunch.

It was my first time eating Lebanese food. It was fantastic! The staff was very friendly, the food was excellent, and the value for money was absolutely fantastic! I'll be back in a heartbeat 🤩

Food very good, price reasonable, service nice, expect a bit of waiting time

This is a very nice restaurant. We felt very pampered and enjoyed a wonderful meal. The service was very friendly and attentive. There was even an amuse-bouche from the kitchen, which we were very pleased with. We would be happy to come back :).

Delicious food in a pleasant atmosphere. Very friendly service. The mezze is very tasty. The price-performance ratio isn't quite right; in my opinion, it's a bit too expensive.

Great food, nice atmosphere, and very friendly staff. The lunch menu was excellent and the price was right, too.

Went above and beyond with our order. Meat was cooked to perfection. Hummus was good. Definitely recommend!

It simply doesn't get any better than this. Extremely friendly service, perfectly imaginative food. Simply worth a visit. Actually: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Incredibly delicious food and simply fantastic and super friendly staff. Definitely worth trying.

Went there for dinner with international colleagues. The service was excellent: friendly and accommodating. The appetizer selection, main courses, and dessert were all top-notch in terms of quality and taste! The Lebanese white wine is also highly recommended. The value for money is very fair. We'll be back and definitely recommend it!

Delicious food, everything freshly prepared, something for everyone! Very friendly staff who enjoy pampering their customers. Part of your visit to Hamburg. VG from Bavaria / Franconia Hauke ​​family

A culinary experience in a wonderful ambience. The service is extremely warm and attentive, making you feel completely comfortable. The price-performance ratio is unbeatable – everything is just right here. We are already looking forward to our next visit!

Absolute impudence!! I had a voucher and wanted to order something to pick up, but I was refused because the voucher was apparently no longer valid. Nowhere was there an expiry date or anything like that noted! I was treated very unkindly because I probably didn't fit in with the chic style of the other guests! It's a shame about the finished food, which was already packaged.

I had reserved a table for 9 people in Ottensen. It took quite a while until we were served. Apparently not enough service staff were provided for lunch. And interestingly, small tables were served much quicker. The food was good but nothing special. Some of us took the lunch menu. The 3 matzahs ​​were served differently and were enjoyed. The fish of the day with lobster sauce was OK. The amount of fish was too small for me. The amount of potatoes, on the other hand, is a lot. I didn't taste lobster. We were particularly annoyed about the dessert and especially about the reaction of the restaurant manager. We got some ice cream and a tiny piece of cake. This was so dry that we complained about it. The restaurant manager now rather cheekily claimed that the cake was just right. Well, thank you very much, I don't have to eat here again. It's one thing if a mistake happens, it's another thing to try to deceive the guests. This cake was way too dry, period. Unfortunately we are disappointed.

Great food, something completely different and very nice service!

Incredibly delicious food - I've tried all the vegetarian and fish options and found everything great. I can also highly recommend the mezze and starters. Friendly staff and a pleasant, quiet yet secret atmosphere.

As always, super delicious food. I like the matzahs ​​best. At lunchtime there was a 3-course lunch menu for little money ❤️

The service was absolutely courteous, extremely friendly and approachable at any time, as there were many service staff in the restaurant. The choice of food is varied, including fish. The map is not overloaded, which is an absolutely positive aspect for me. There is a separate page with vegetarian dishes, but matzah can also be chosen with only vegetarian dishes. I eat vegetarian and was thrilled. All dishes were explained when served. Four of us ate and we were all absolutely thrilled with the use of the fine and sometimes very different flavors. Not too spicy, otherwise it was pointed out during an appetizer. Really everything, including the dessert, tasted wonderful and was attractively presented. Great selection of cocktails, also non-alcoholic. The accompanying wine is delicious. All in all, highly recommended. We'll definitely be back!

I really enjoy going there, they are always nice and accommodating

Well-chosen menu, great service and a great ambience and eat the duck! (:

I can only recommend it It's really special The food was excellent Super friendly Not cheap but worth the price.

Reservation is advisable We were lucky to be out early. Otherwise there would have been a problem with a table for two. The tables are very close together. As a greeting from the house, a lentil soup was served. Delicious. From the evening menu we chose the corn-fed poularde with very spicy potato wedges and the Muscovy duck breast with cinnamon rice. Beises was beautifully served on plates and in small serving bowls. The puladen dish was delicious, the duck breast with sesame crust was unfortunately very dry and hard, the figs were not ripe, the rice was very tasty. There is a large selection of open wines (0.2l on average EUR 9). The service is friendly and attentive.

Very tasty and special food, especially the mezze are great!

Super delicious food, elegant, spicy and tasty. All at extremely reasonable prices.

Very tasty and high quality. The portions could be larger, considering the prices.

Really delicious and something special!

Excellent restaurant, excellent service, respectful people. I highly recommend it

One of the best restaurant experiences I’ve ever had! We had the most incredible food, and the staff gave us amazing suggestions. We had the mixed mezze stater, I had the bass fillet and my partner had the surf and turf. My partner speaks German (I sadly do not) and our lovely waiter was speaking both in German and English so I wasn’t excluded from the conversation. I had the yummiest Lebanese wine (see pics below) and we were given 2 extra bits of food as gifts from the kitchen. 10/10 you have to go !!

The food and service were perfect. When the restaurant is full, it can get quite loud in some places, and communication at the table is difficult.

Everyone is so friendly and sweet, and the food tastes absolutely delicious! I can't even describe it, but I can say the food tastes absolutely amazing and everyone is so polite, so I'm saying on behalf of my mother and sister that it's delicious and lovely! The staff is very kind and attentive, so thank you again. A small recommendation. Kind regards, Mila

Highly recommended. Great service, delicious food. We had a wonderful evening and felt very welcome. We'd be happy to return.

The food was average. Unfortunately, it was underseasoned and not really warm. The quality of the food was good. On the way to the restroom, you could catch a glimpse of the kitchen... given how tidy and clean it was, I'd rather not... The staff was great, very attentive and friendly. The atmosphere was too loud, and transparent COVID-19 screens were used as a privacy measure. A somewhat odd solution.

Very tasty food and service, simply top👌🏾

Very tasty and finely prepared food, super friendly staff and nice atmosphere!!! Gladly again 💛

It is highly recommended, the food is 10/10, the ambience 10/10, the waiters 10/10, I'm always happy to come back..

Very good service, warm atmosphere, and super delicious food! Highly recommended👍🏼

At L'Orient, you'll be pampered with the finest food and warm, attentive service. The food is first-class and deliciously seasoned. Highly recommended for vegetarians, too. The service was so friendly and warm. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

Very nice restaurant with a tasteful and modern atmosphere. Excellent food and friendly and attentive service.

Great different small appetizers, recommended Great main courses, great taste and seasoning, recommended Great vegetarian dishes. Vegan on request Top service, attentive and flexible with requests. Thanks

First class! We had a great evening with extremely tasty dishes and friendly, courteous and fast service. Perfect all around - and absolutely recommended.

Highly recommended! A nice meal that feels good, you can tell that there is a chef in the kitchen who can prepare the food. Very friendly and accommodating. Good service and nice cuisine.

What a brilliant little find. Food was delicious with little touches along the way like little appetisers that aren't on the menu. Service was brilliant, team really engaged and delivering a great service. Menu is small but everything super tasty, we enjoyed the mezze plate followed by a couple of dishes off the specials board and a another main. Portions are a huge, you will not leave disappointed. The outside to a Brit seems a bit tacky potentially but don't let this deceive you, really lovely little spot. €120 bill for 2 courses water a 1 glass of wine for 3 people. Brilliant value for money.

Super impressed with the food and service. Lovingly prepared, very tasty and top courteous service.

Food very good, but service not appropriate for the price

We were there for the New Year's Eve menu 2024, it was a fantastic menu. Many thanks to the entire team. The service was excellent, everything worked perfectly! All the best for 2025. We'd love to come back!

Everything was just right for us: a really nice feel-good atmosphere paired with very friendly service, and the dishes tasted extraordinarily good. In this combination, absolutely recommended and worth experiencing. A restaurant visit that we will rave about for a long time.

We chose the L'Orient menu and were really impressed and very happy with the food. A really impressive selection of oriental starters, tasted great. The intermediate course with the tiger prawns was also perfectly on point. The main course was a new culinary discovery for us. The meat is very tender and tasty. A fine selection of sweet dishes rounded off the evening. Very, very friendly and courteous staff. Great ambience. Definitely a recommendation, especially if you're open to new tastes.

Went to L’Orient again this evening and were completely thrilled. We had the rack of lamb, the lamb salmon and the cod and it tasted incomparably good. The service was also very courteous, friendly and you felt well looked after. An absolute recommendation! We'll definitely be back. Thank you for the lovely evening

We had a wonderful evening! The food was impeccable; A super hospitable team served us quickly and with a very high quality of service. The food was great. The evening was an award-winning foray into Lebanese cuisine. From the starter to the main courses to the dessert - it was a poem. There was also an excellent Lebanese red wine. That was also a great recommendation of the service. Thank you very much for the wonderful evening and see you soon. A nice way to get in the mood for Christmas

My sister did better, I had worse choice of dishes. In my case, lamb is mainly bones, very little meat. The dessert, ice cream and wine are delicious. Service ok. It was nice, but once is enough.

Great food and very nice service. We felt very comfortable. Thanks.

, pleasant atmosphere, good price-performance ratio, nice service

The food was really delicious! Beautifully presented and great spices. Unfortunately, the service was in need of improvement right from the start.

The food is to die for. Reliably good and reasonable prices for the quality. Being able to go there is always a highlight for me. This time the waiting time was borderline long, but we were given an espresso with dessert as compensation, without us commenting on the waiting time. I found that very thoughtful. Thank you for a lovely evening at L'Orient! 12-2024 Went there again yesterday for Christmas dinner with colleagues. It was once again an A with an asterisk. Food great as usual, staff on their toes and very attentive and friendly. I'm a fan of yours!

There were 4 of us there and we had reserved the seats. Which is also necessary on Saturday evenings. The 4-course menu was a culinary journey through Lebanese cuisine and an exceptionally great taste enrichment. The service was also good. Gladly again.

Amazing food and super friendly staff!

Shortage of staff at lunch, 1 drink was forgotten, but a gift from the kitchen was given, so the essence of professional hospitality was lived!

Tastier in the evening than at lunchtime, but also busier

Actually you shouldn't recommend the restaurant. This makes it even more difficult to get a place there. So: shhh. Insider tip.

The food was excellent. I had vegetarian and was very satisfied. We also had a starter plate, which was very delicious. The service was unbeatable. Customer satisfaction is very highly valued and lived. A really great restaurant!

Highly recommended restaurant. We were at the LÓrient for our anniversary and were very satisfied, both the food and the great service are outstanding.

Sher good 👍, nice staff, good food

We had lunch there. I had made a reservation but we would have gotten a table without one or seemed (on a Saturday). The food was absolutely amazing.

Very nice atmosphere, very, very great service, which was very attentive and customer-oriented and the food also tasted great!

We were guests here with my team. Unfortunately, due to our group size, we had to stick to a menu selection. But this wasn't a problem for us. The various side dishes and main dishes were mostly tasty and of high quality. Various red and white wines were served. The waiters were always friendly and helpful. The ambience was fantastic!

Simply great food and friendly and competent service. I wish I was in Hamburg more often so I could eat here.

Great food in a great atmosphere. Very friendly and courteous service. Price-performance ratio can hardly be topped. We'll definitely be back

Friendly service Delicious food

★★★★★ “L’Orient is an absolute (not so secret) insider tip! The waiters are incredibly friendly and attentive, you immediately feel welcome. The food is simply to die for – from the fresh starters to the main course, every bite is a delight! I particularly liked the greeting from the kitchen, a nice surprise and wonderfully seasoned. And then the cheesecake for dessert – an absolute must! I have rarely eaten something so delicious. I can only recommend the restaurant to anyone who loves or wants to get to know Lebanese cuisine. Everything is just right here!”

We can only confirm the many positive reviews from other guests.

A nice restaurant - especially the very charming service is fun. Atmosphere nice, but not exciting, more typical of a slightly better restaurant. Overall, I found the dishes a bit banal and not entirely convincing. No highlights in terms of taste, rather somewhat "intended" creations that don't quite work, such as: E.g. the excessively orange-heavy corn polarde breast with tasteless potatoes and vegetables as a side dish. A bit too expensive for that...

The trip from Göttingen - just to eat at a Lebanese restaurant - was once again worth it and will certainly be repeated

Very tasty food, an exciting selection of dishes and friendly, competent and very warm service. Clear recommendation

I was there with a friend, we had the lunch menu! Simply delicious! Gladly again! Always my pleasure!

Highly recommended restaurant, large selection at reasonable prices, very delicious

Friendly staff. They gave us all dessert
