Le Plat du Jour

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, mostly led by its excellent word-of-mouth reputation. Down to the red gingham napkins and closely-lined tables, it’s a true brasserie experience, with all the snail, duck, rabbit and foie gras dishes you might expect. A great choice for anyone doing business lunch in Hamburg, Le Plat du Jour is equally jovial of a weekend evening, with warm wall lighting and a three-course dinner menu—if you have room for dessert, the profiteroles are a win. Service is consistently great.
