Very pleasant and fairly authentic French brasserie in Ottensen. The tables are fairly packed…read moretogether, as you might expect, but the atmos is good. I had Beauty and the Beast to start, which is a mousse de canard with pork rillettes, which was delicious. To follow was a superb steak frites (see photo!). The dessert was slightly less impressive, pear tart, but the accompanying ice cream was very nice. Three courses plus wine for EUR45 per person a la carte, the set menu is EUR28.

That's exactly how French provencal restaurant should be, they got it rght! Expect French classics like coq au vin, creme brulee, tart au chocolait, etc. Expect them melt in your mouth and crave for more. Yes, you've got the idea, I'm a fan now :) Beware though: it's very popular, so book in advance. And it's not cheap.

Grand Elysee is touted as a five star hotel, but this brasserie is way overpriced and gives single…read morewomen diners the one star treatment. I was seated at a table near the cold door (snowing outside in Dec) as were other single women and a group of single older women. Separate and unequal, for sure. It's as if the brasserie is trying to get us to leave ASAP bc you and your food will be cold very shortly. The goose tasted good, skin crisp and meat tender. A lot of red cabbage and three potatoes, lightly salted.m but the portion is so tiny. My oysters were tiny. Would they treat Angela Merkel this way if she ate alone? Update: Returned another night with hubby, totally different experience. So, go with a Man, or organize a dine in porters.

The Tortue Brasserie is a modern and nice-looking restaurant. Unfortunately, the dishes & wines are…read moresuper pricey - it was tasty, don't get me wrong, but not that tasty if you know what I mean. They offer a French menu, and I can assure you that in France (I come from there), you would have the same menu for almost half the price. Apart from the price, we had a pleasant evening and they offered us a cocktail at the end of our diner.
