Reviews Summary
Le Plat du Jour offers an authentic French brasserie experience with impeccable service and delicious, albeit pricey, traditional dishes.

The cozy ambiance and classic French music contribute to a charming dining atmosphere.
"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."
Elissa Fountain
"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."
Katarina Swendrowski
"Food was delicious - their foie gras is EXCELLENT as was their salmon appetizer. For dessert, I had the profiteroles. Service was good and the overall ambiance, while good, was missing that typical French flair that I happen to really like when I eat at a bistro."

9 Best Restaurants In Hamburg For Delicious Dining
Tucked away off an uncharismatic main road, Le Plat du Jour has no big claims when it comes to location but nevertheless enjoys a long-standing and loyal clientele, led mainly by its excellent word-of-mouth reputation. Right down to the red gingham napkins, it’s an authentic brasserie experience with all the snail, duck, rabbit and foie gras dishes you might expect. A fabulous choice for anyone doing business lunch in Hamburg, Le Plat du Jour is equally jovial on a weekend evening, with warm wall lighting and a three-course dinner menu – if you have room for dessert, the profiteroles are a winner.
7 französische Restaurants in Hamburg
Herrlich oldschool ist dieser Franzose in Hamburg, der schon seit 1993 die Hanseaten in der Innenstadt mit klassisch französischer Küche verwöhnt: Le Plat du Jour. Das gemütliche Lokal mit seinen rot-weiß gewürfelten Servietten, den Schwarz-Weiß-Fotografien französischer Stars vergangener Zeiten und dem überwiegend französischen Personal lässt dich denken, du seist Pariser:in und in deinem Stamm-Bistro um die Ecke. Ob Fischsuppe mit Rouille oder Lyoner Saucisson mit Puy-Linsensalat, Kaninchen in Dijon-Senfsoße oder Steak mit Bordelaise und Pommes frites: Das Plat du Jour ist eine treue Seele und erhellt dir einen verregneten Sonntagabend genauso, wie es dir einen lauen Sommerabend auf einem der schönen Außenplätze versüßt.

6 Desserts aus fernen Ländern
Obwohl Frankreich geografisch gar nicht so weit weg ist, erinnert der Name dieses Desserts an einen Ort voller Naturschönheiten und exotischer Gewürze. So bringt Le Plat du Jour mit seiner Crème brûlée ein Stück dieser fernen Welt direkt nach Hamburg. Der französische Dessertklassiker Crème brûlée à la Vanille de Madagascar wird hier durch die Verwendung echter Vanille aus Madagaskar mit einem Hauch Exotik verfeinert.
