Café Paris
A French bistro near the City Hall, converted from an 1882 Art Nouveau butcher's hall, serving everything from breakfast to late-night snacks.
Located on Rathausstraße next to the City Hall, this building was originally a butcher's shop. The main hall, built in 1882, features a tiled ceiling and has operated as a French bistro since 2000. It serves food all day, offering croissants, scrambled eggs with North Sea shrimp, and international breakfasts in the morning, and oysters, steak frites, and bouillabaisse in the evening. Croque monsieur and beef tartare are also frequently mentioned favorites. Average cost is around €20-30 per person. It is usually very busy, so reservations are recommended. Within walking distance of the City Hall and Inner Alster Lake, and very close to the Rathaus U-Bahn station (U3).
