My boss recently took us here for lunch. I had never heard of it. We sat in the front section that looks a bit like a Deli. I was told the back is very stylish. I liked the front section but unfortunately we had minus temperatures outside and the wall wasn't completely solid so we had a cold draught the entire time. The waiters were very polite and responsive - they noticed we were speaking English and immediately spoke to us in English although we can also speak German. The food and drinks arrived very quickly. I had the Caesar Salad; they put cherry tomatoes in it which I personally think don't belong in there at all! The bowl it came in was super wobbly and it made the salad hard to eat. But it tasted great. Everyone enjoyed their food. read more

So I've been to this place before and wasn't sure if they would actually blow me away this time, since the first time I can't say it was that amazing. The Mac n cheese was bad the first time, it was very dry. This time it was good. Although nothing spectacular. The Moules frites wear bla. The fries were stale, so we sent them back, only to receive soggy fries now. The mussels were not special at all, I could've made a better sauce and I'm not a chef. Everything else was just okay. Service was great though. Very attentive and kind. So all in all, I probably wouldn't necessarily recommend this place to anyone. But hey, do watta gotta do. read more

Atelier F - Menu in English - American Near Me - Hamburg, HH

This was a strange choice for dinner by my partner's step sister, an American-French restaurant, but the dinner went very well. Everyone seemed to enjoy it very much. So, it must be a German yuppy thing. I know this might sound a little snarky, but I don't know how else to describe a place that is pretentious but serves fast food like burgers and sandwiches, yet does it just right that you are charmed and not put off by it. The waiter too was very friendly and earnest. I really like places like these in Germany where they seem to enjoy what they are doing while trying to make a living. The food was nothing to write home about, but it wasn't bad either. And the atmosphere and enjoyment of others in the establishment truly impressed me that they seem to know what they are doing in terms of getting things right for their clientele. Kudos! read more

I have been to this restaurant several times. The wait between each meal is long, sometimes very long (waiting for an hour once). There are errors while the orders are taken, and the wrong dishes arrive on the table. I recently understood that these errors were due to the fact that the staff is often renewed. The waiters don't have time to learn the menu and the different courses, that they are already leaving this restaurant and are replaced by others. It's too bad because the dishes are really good, as well as the lemonades. read more

A delightful and refreshing bistro in the heart of Hamburg. My boss had dined here in the summer and raved about Ateiler F. Naturally we decided to get dinner on a Tuesday night. We did walk in after 7. The host told us that they only had tables (which didn't look much like tables but instead bar high tops in the "butchery" looking area or the communal table seating in the main dining area. I had asked about one of the "themed booths" but the host told us that they were taken and for parties of four. Later on in the night though we saw a party of two eating in one of them, so that was disappointing. I asked my boss want a flambe was (it was listed under the traditional French items section), it sounded good, so I got that, the veggie lover side, and a French onion soup. The french onion soup was light. The sweet onions rounded out the salty from the cheese and broth. They served it with puff pastry instead of a bread in the broth. It was a nice twist, but still the best French onion I've had was in Paris. The flambe ended up being a thin flatbread in a round pizza shape with a generous even coating of bits of pizza and some onion. Though it wasn't expected, it was a really good light entree, and you can never go wrong with bacon! I saved half of it to take back to the hotel in order to finish my veggies sides and get dessert. The veggies were asparagus, rosemary potatoes and grilled tomatoes. Veggies were well seasoned and cooked to perfection. I also got a peach spritzer with seltzer water which balanced out the sweetness of the peach juice. I saved half the flambé in order to squeeze room for dessert. I indulged in the decadent smooth chocolate mousse. My boss loved her corn, soup, wine and dessert as well. It was a wonderful and affordable meal! I didn't get an entree but everything I got was under €7. Service was fine but could be a little better. I will definitely be back to Ateiler F when I return to Hamburg. read more

Atelier F is always a good place to stay. The food is good, but the service seemed to be understaffed related to the amount of people having dinner there. Anyway, we had a good evening and maybe we will return one day. read more

Atelier F - Burger and mussel with a good white wine! - American Near Me - Hamburg, HH

Someone, please explain to me why this restaurant is always booked. Where do I start... With the slow forgetful service or the tasteless overpriced food? Well, I will start with the drinks, the only positive part of our dining experience. Long drinks (gin/tonics) and wine that we ordered (Chardonnay & Sauvignon Blanc) were good. Then came the food Soups: pumpkin coconut was ok, the French onion did not have cheese and very few onions. The Cesar Salad was drowned in dressing, the poor croutons, small and store bought, struggled to maintain their crunchiness. Hot spareribs, BLT (with cheese extra ordered but did not come), the thinnest entrecôte steak you have ever seen, tasteless Mac 'n Cheese and muscles in a creamy cream cream sauce. All pretty much tasteless and unappetizing. So that's it. You won't catch me here again even if the food is paid for. Make your own decision, but consider yourself warned!! read more

Not sure whether I want to cry or laugh! A friend of mine and I decided to give it a chance. The drinks took ages to come and where served with the starter. I thought the Tuna Tartar for €17,90 would do the trick and be rather palatable, but it was quite a DISAPPOINTMENT. The Tuna Tartar: I got a mix of medium-sized tuna chunks with a bit of a marinade and I must say the quality of the fish was okay. However the garnish and presentation was very disappointing. Believe it or not (as you can see on my photo) they really used the ordinary SRIRACHA SAUCE(!) for the Tatar. On top of that I got a side of bread that was obviously just unfrozen end of very poor quality. The Burger: I'll cut the long story short: in this day and age you have the right to order a burger cooked medium. Any restaurant that fails to consider this order and doesn't cook your burger medium is just a FAIL and everything but American. Pffft! Avoid this place at all cost! read more

My wife and I went here for dinner on a Wednesday. We were able to walk up and get a table with no problem. I love the deco and style of the place. We were seated in a back room with some mirrors that were really nifty. Service in the back room was just okay; the waiters weren't coming around too frequently. We ordered chicken wings for an appetizer, burgers for our main, with sides of mac and cheese and truffle fries. We also got drinks, a moscow mule and some sort of gin smash. The drinks came out pretty quick but weren't mixed? It was like they put a shot and some syrup in a glass and then sent it out with a can of soda. The wings came out quick, but then burgers seemed like they took a long time to come out, long enough for me to notice I was still hungry. The wings were good, but the burgers were just ok. Maybe too salty? The mac and cheese seemed really light on cheese and lacked any flavor. The truffle fries were perfect though. So for a little more money for meal, you don't get much in return. It seems like a fancy place that business people go to, for a bland meal that no one can complain about. read more

Good lunch spot. 4 stars for their amazing truffle fries and decent drinks. The rest of the food is OK, but nothing special. Don't recommend the French onion soup, nor the beef tartar. read more

Having been here several times, I would recommend a visit! Whether you sit inside or outside overlooking the river, the food and service are good! I've visited for lunch on a couple of occasions and if you want a salad or larger meal, all is catered for. Going for drinks after work was also pleasant :) It's also not too pricey considering the location and the quality of the place. There are booth type seating and also a higher bench table with high chairs, which are Ok but not for a nice meal out...more for drinks or a light snack. All in all, I liked it and would go again given the chance. read more

The salat which was drowned in dressing ( absolutely disgusting), the onion soup which was so overly caramelized that it felt I am eating a snickers instead of a soup and - oh lord...- the burger ... driest meat, way to much dressing ( again ) cold fries. It shows clear that the kitchen is filled with people who never had any training or even chef education. What comes out of this kitchen is an insult to any paying costumer read more

Burger was delicious, good location and interior. The waitress didn't ask how well we would like the patty.

Burgers are very good. Especially the salmon burger. Fries are pretty good too. No place for kids. Very friendly staff. read more

Environment is better than the food! We had a BBQ burger without BBQ Sauce(although it was written in menu)!!! Onion ring in burger was as strong as stone ! The plate has no design, you pay 15€ for salmon fish but had no side dish you have to pay extra for each of those for example around 4€ for fried potatoes... If you want good food don't suggest it. read more

Overall this place seems a little generic. Had dinner here with the whole family. Dishes weren't that impressive and staff was pretty slow and seemed bored. Also our orders got mixed up and food arrived cold. read more

Usually very nice, just today the crispy chips were mostly undone and two of them were served with hair on it... complained about it at the waiter, she told she will tell the kitchen to check this in the future. I have at least expected them to remove the 2,50 EUR from the invoice for the crispy chips, what they didn't do. The receipt with the serial 1-45551 says we were served by vanElk, Denise. read more

Funky looking restaurant in a prime location. Food menu is extensive, would recommend lunch rather than dinner as its a little more casual than we had realised. We had the steaks, which were nice. A little under but didn't really bother me. Desserts were a little small for the price and not anything special so wouldn't bother. Service was friendly and quick. 2 people, 2 steaks, 2 order of fries, asparagus, 2 desserts, 2 house wines and a cocktail €72.50. read more

I had an excellent dinner here of Salmon pasta, green beans and garlic bread. Everything on the menu looked tasty but I was trying to eat a bit healthy. The restaurant is beautifully decorated and the service was excellent. I don't know why it only had 3.5 stars. I'm glad I didn't pass it up. read more

Went here recently for lunch as I wanted to check the new place out. Pretty impressive decor with multiple options. You can do the more restaurant style seating in either a light and airy room or a darker back room. Up front you have the "deli" which is far less formal. I was quite impressed with the menu, as it's a mix of French and American style dishes. Seems to be French brasserie mostly mixed in with steakhouse. All in all, we really enjoyed it. Why only three stars? Well, I find the pricing in combination wit the portions skewed. I ordered a salmon steak that was literally not much larger than a Magic Mouse from Apple. This cut at the price point it's billed at without sides is ridiculous. It was really tasty but an appetiser in size if you ask me. Further, my guest had a burger and this too was quite small. Again, he really liked the burger but the sizing is for lack of a better word "quaint"! Further, another drawback is that this place seems to attract the seen-and-be-seen crowd. I really like the restaurant itself and the staff were great but the people here were annoying. Yes, it was during the day but you had the typical "banker types" and "wannabe creatives". Yes, it's in the middle of town surrounded by offices but I wish you had a more laidback crowd here. Have to come check it out in the evening. Again, highly recommend to check it out but there are a few things to keep in mind when making that decision. read more

New in hamburg, and after living and being foodwise spoiled many years in amsterdam, our expectation for cool, urbnan, modern, stylish and yet affordable restaurants goes beyond just a modern place to eat pizze or pasta. First impression was, this must be an expensive place (which it definately isn't). We went on a sathurday afternoon inside and found ourselves in a beautiful charming room on the backside of the restaurant with view to the grill corner of the kitchen. The ordering process is all done by ipad. All went without problems. What impressed me was that the pictures and the food served later looked almost identical. I saw my burger being grilled and enjoyed it later on. We were absolutely satisfied with everything we ordered for that price, loved the place and can definately recommend it. This place and the food have urban flair without overcharging. The first we saw in hamburg so far. read more
