"The restaurant is one of the last surviving Dinosaurs of upscale gastonomy leftover from the glory days when Bonn had a decent landscape funded by diplomats and up level public servants - now as they are all in Berlin everything upscale in this nice city is challenged. I knew the place from walking around more than 30 years ago, looking with wide opended eyes on the menu at the window - but I could not enter as I could not afford the prices in those days.. Yesterday I went there for the first time and I was a little concerned as such places with such a background are more often the source of frustration than great evenings. But the evening was remarkably good despite the fact that regarding Service and Food you can guess the details that one can inflate to issues that can justify a "average" rating or maybe even less . But overall because of the delicious food and also overall nice service enjoyed the evening as everyone of our party of four. The restaurant is located in the northern part of the city center of Bonn and is close to the large parking lane under the Friedensplatz. The interior radiates a personal style mix - which is on one hand a little dated and ecclectic with a pinch of crowded naivity so that nobody feels intimidated and rather warmed. On the other hand it radiates enough gastronomic fine dining ambition so that you still feel great if your are on a romantic or a mid-level business meeting. For a real show-off meeting you may want to go in another place. But gastronomic interested couples whose childfinder defaults on their weekly "couple date" may find it more pleasant to enjoy an evening with kids here than in a lot of other places with ambition.Menu offers some set menu and a reasonable number of a la carte dishes. Most reflect the French inspired upscale German gastronomy of the 80s and 90s were modernization had already its impact but you could still recognize the clasical skeleton of the dishes from the times of Escoffier. We had as starters diced raw "salmon"- trout with its trimmings and mildly smoked scallops on mashed pumpkin,. As mains we had Lobster Thermidor, Sole Walewska, Veal in creamy mushroom sauce. What were the highlights:- Great to get some classics with a lighter modernized touch but keeping the soul of the concept- Generous sizings and presentations - Quality of fish and meat was really very good- Perfect cooking of all fishes, great well balanced proportion of the various components- Hearty , talented seasoning and good sense for roasting - Great sense of the chef to create lighter versions of classical sauces and reductions- Served on warm plates at perfect temperature- Caring , very polite service- Reasonable prices- Very generous goodies (large very good wild garlic amuse bouche, large service of petits fours, large serving of ordered digestif ) If I would live Bonn I would be a regular patron - and while most places under those conditions get into the trap of a high share of convenience products you sense here the quality of the fresh ingredients and the experience and craftmanship of the chef. If you benchmark such a restaurant with the most updated standards in large urban gastro-scences of this world you may maybe find more to criticize than me - but this would be the wrong bechmark.Though some challenges cannot be denied- Moderatly dense seating (but in most Paris and New York places you are more close to your neighbours - did not disturb us - but could be an issue for some patrons - Peak load (Saturday at 19:30 -. Restaurant was full ) creates some waiting time - but we knew how to entertain ourselves while waiting- Some feeling of tension in the service - either collaboration issues or personal issues- did not corrupt our experience . but the facial expression of one our two service staff was not as relaxed as you may expect - but this happens to all of us . Others were still a little shy - but very polite and effective .Wine list is eclectic, personal and interesting to read - I picked the wrong wine for the food, my fault. But there were a lot of good options specially from Austria and France-So overall you could focus on some selected points of unskillfullness in service and argue for a lower rating , but if you take into account what it takes to bring great food on a regular daily base in such a challenging environment -this was great. We had an excellent evening , enjoyed each of the plates and had smiles of satisfaction on our faces when leaving."

Fantastic food and service. Scallops are superb. I will definitely go back. It is not a cheap restaurant but it is well worth every penny.

I used to live in Bonn for seven years. I ate at the restaurant on multiple occasions. Firstly I love the interior it is truly pretty. The service is always perfect and the food is excellent. I would definitely recommend it!

Food really was quite average at not average prices. The fish soup was mundane, the beef fillet was over salted and the brûlée was the best of the evening. Service is attentive and friendly and the decor is tongue in the mouth kitsch - I think. View menu
Torben
This is an upscale restaurant specialising in fish. The cuisine is classic french and very well done. Fish is always of top qualityand perfectly prepared. The wine selection is missing out, surprisingly, on the more local wines, but otherwise good, though somewhat pricey. The setting is very elegant, service impeccable. Overall a good place for a special occasion.
Matthias
Quite twee in its decoration but the service was attentive, the food good and occasionally inventive. The wine list is truly something so all in all a very pleasant experience. With the chef's menu at only 70 Euros per person, well worth the visit. Was completely full. Amuse bouche, perfectly seared tuna with sesame, Steak tartare, seared scallops, then fillet with foie gras followed by dessert, it was really nice.
Eduard
Have been here numerous times and I have to say I have never been disappointed. Food is amazing, service is outstanding, and I like the interior as well as the decoration of the restaurant. I would rate every meal 10 out of 10 and it is definitely a must visit. Prices are a little bit high but it is worth it if you want to have a special dinner or entertain someone in a little group. The restaurant is really intimate so I would not bring a large group of people. View menu

on 23rd March I was invited with my father for a dinner in Le Petit Poisson.from the beginning, as we entered the restaurant, we felt something special.I have to say that it was impossible to read the English menu (and this is the only thing that they need to improve) but the food was all amazing, tasty, served so nicely.I honestly do not remember the name of what I ate but from the picture, you might understand.the menu has big selection so there is no way you will not find something to eat there.a true amazing experience- from the starter till the desert.and the wine and alcohol selection- superb ! if you are n Koln or Bonn and you look for something special - this is the place.

Our hotel (Deutscheshaus) recommended this French-inspired restaurant which was only a short walk away. It was a Wednesday night and there were only two other diners – somewhat unconvincingly we were told that the lack of customers was because Bayern Munich FC were playing that night. Bayern fans must have deep pockets because Le Petit Poisson (little fish) is really rather expensive. But do you get good value? Yes, indeed. We chose the Menu du Jour, three courses at €55 each, which looked to be the best value. The recommended wine was €39 a bottle, but honestly it was superb. Our three courses were all Michelin-star standard. For starters we had sea bass with lots of little tasty sauces, ca...
