Cafe Paris, Altstadt, Hamburg

Cafe de Paris delivers what it says on the label. Typical French dishes (some accurate, some a little wayward), decently cooked.

On may most recent trip we were abe to sit outside and enjoy the Hamburg sunshine. My Steak Frites was well executed and lots of chips and salad.

My experience of the service has been OK, contrary to some reviews. And the building itself is lovely and conveniently located near the Rathaus

Really nice place! We shared the breakfast platter for 2 and a couple extras among 4 of us and it was plenty. Very nice relaxing interior. Relatively expensive for what you get but I would definitely go back..I still need to try one of the steak tartar dishes.

Very peaceful, very nice and unfortunately very crowded during the evening hours. But one can fully understand that as it is located on such a great place. It is in a small street to the left side of the Rathhausmarkt next to the Citi Bank :) The place itself is relatively big but also very peaceful. Very classy with a real French feeling. This is nice a place to go away from the city noise and enjoy a nice cup of coffee. They offer a variety of products but the sweets they have are simply amazing. If you plan to goo there and you are more than 10 people (as we did back in the university days) make sure you call and reserve a table. otherwise you are doomed to wait.
cheers

A good steak, but not a great steak. Mountains of chips and nice fresh salads makes this place a solid 3 star restaurant. It can be very noisy in Cafe de Paris and the service leaves a little to be desired. I think i’ll go back. The meatballs looked delicious!

I’m really in two minds about Cafe de Paris. On the one hand, it’s a lovely building, serving semi-decent steak frites. On the other, the service is pretty poor, and they’ve evidently never actually tried cassulet in France, because their version tastes nothing like.

Even though it has it’s downsides, I still come back here from time to time, probably because I miss France too much…

Went there for breakfast with colleagues. Didn’t order anything to eat for myself. I usually skip breakfast completely and wait till lunch. I only had vanilla tea, which was very nice.

But breakfast that the colleagues had, looked tasty.

Maybe I’ll come back sometime.

A wonderfull place. I don’t know how, but they managed to create this atmosphere as if you are sitting in the Parisian Bistro, somewhere in 7e arrondissement. May be it’s a classic furniture or formall table settings (white tablecloth, of course). The whole Art Deco details (the entrance door, the tiles, painted domes) adds it up.

Well, we can call it quite romantic too. But I’d be also fine sitting alone.

I had liver (not a traditional bistro choice) and it was great! It was a nice surprise to see it in the menu, unlike in many other restaurants. Prices were very reasonable. Service was good.

Verdict: definetely coming back.

Not only the name gives a french athmosphere- also if you sit outside, when the night is falling.The view to the impressive townhall, the little something like a place with parking cars in front of the cafe, all these little round tables in a line, the cheap water, the quick waiters in black and white, the good red wine and the taste of french moutarde in the salad sauce give a persuading impression of a cafe in Paris.
People like to eat “tartare frites” which is mixed on the table while one is watching with moutarde, raw egg, fresh black pepper and some sauces.
Very special place with tourists, buisiness people and others.
An enviroment which is a bit open, flirt seems possible, but you’d still feel fine sitting there alone.
Like in a real french cafe.

nice place
