Jolie

Eins der urigen Lokale mitten auf St. Pauli.....im Sommer sitzen hier überall in der Straße Leute draußen, so auch vorm Jolie. Draußen Holzbänke, drinnen plüschige Sofas und Stühle, dazu Wohnzimmer Deko, schummriges Licht und leise Musik - das Ambiente gefällt mir sofort :-)
Da draußen oft und gern geraucht wird nehme ich lieber drinnen Platz. Ab 18h ist geöffnet, ich bekomme an einem Donnerstag um die Uhrzeit entspannt einen Platz (die meisten Gäste kommen glaube ich eher etwas später).
Es gibt eine feste Karte (Hausmannskost wie Schnitzel, Königsberger Klopse, Spätzle, Salate, aber auch Burger usw) sowie eine wechselnde Aktionskarte, dazu eine große Auswahl an Getränken.
Ich entscheide mich für die hausgemachte Limo Basilikum-Gurke. Sehr lecker, optisch ein Hingucker, mit 6,90€ (0,5l) nicht günstig.....würde ich aber trotzdem wieder kaufen.
Dazu von der Aktionstafel das Spargel-Bärlauch-Risotto. Mit 22,90€ ebenfalls nicht günstig aber geschmacklich klasse.
Der Service hat mir hier auch sehr gut gefallen. Das Lokal scheint es schon über 15 Jahre zu geben - warum ich vorher noch nicht hier war weiß ich auch nicht.... ich komme sicher wieder :-)

The french name and "Cuisine Fine" claim makes it sound like it's a fine-dining restaurant, which it actually isn't. But it doesn't matter, because the food is actually delicious and the service is friendly.

We had a little bump at the beginning where it took them almost 30min to get us the drinks, but they were apologetic enough for it, even got us a drink on the house which is very rare in German restaurants where the service is usually terrible.

A 3-course menu (goat cheese salad, burger with fries and creme brulée) costs 27€ which is very fair. The drinks are also good.

RIB Happy Hour is awesome. 990 Euro for high-quality food.

Forward: I walked by Jolie a few weeks ago and noticed two large guys rubbing their bellies after finishing off what looked like an entire pig. Both had plates stacked with bones in front of them. I asked a woman sitting outside(who turned out to be the owner) about the deal and she confirmed Happy Hour for Ribs on Wednesday, 990euro.

Service: I returned for dinner last night. The owner was seated outside and seemed bothered that I was only there to eat food, not drink alcohol. I was the only person in the restaurant so I would think my business would be appreciated. After a somewhat heated discussion about why I should order drinks whenever I go to any German restaurant, Claudia apologized and her smile came out, which was lovely. The waiter was young and jovial.

Food: Dinner was great. Close to an entire rack of spicy-honey ribs, a small salad with sprouts, crispy potato wedges with sour cream and chives, and two pieces of perfectly grilled garlic bread. I don't even like garlic bread and I devoured the entire meal. A lot of food, a lot of great food for 990Euro. The ribs were overcooked in the slightest but not enough to warrant losing a star. The food was so delicious that it knocked the bad taste out of my mouth from earlier.

I'll definitely be back with my girlfriend next week, and we will drink, and hopefully the experience will be even better.

It's right around the corner from where i live.
It's a cozy small place. I've been there only a couple of times, but i walk past it very often.
Not much is happening in there, its barely ever full, usually has 2 or 3 guests.
However the food tastes ok.
I've had the Naschmarkt Salat for 8,50 EUR
It has avocado and turkey.
It's really really good.


Its not the place to be, but if you are bored from the same restaurants, why not try Jolie for a change!
