Petit Bonheur — Restaurant in Hamburg

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...

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...

Unfortunately it appears that the professionalism of service has slipped resulting in not receiving value for money. There were numerous blips during dinner: forgetting food, cutlery & serving warm food cold with ingredients that should not have been allowed to leave the kitchen whilst not acknowledging any of these 'blips' to us. To sum the service up we told the owner that we were not entirely satisfied. We were not asked what we were not satisfied with but greeted with 'hope to see you soon again'.... I know many restaurants that offers better service and food for half the money that now experienced. For these prices I would have expected better quality and service thus...
