The story
Piment, at Lehmweg 29 in Hamburg's Eppendorf district, is a North African kitchen that earned one Michelin star in 2026 for high quality cooking. The restaurant pairs Moroccan spicing with French technique in a small, family-run dining room.
Wahabi Nouri runs the kitchen and builds his menus around vegetables and a wide range of spices. French influences sit alongside his own North African flavours. The Schlemmer Atlas gave the restaurant 3.5 Kochlöffel for its oriental-inspired gourmet menus, and Der Feinschmecker reports that he will soon hand the kitchen over to his son.
The meal opens with three preparations of carrot: gazpacho, sorbet balls and yellow carrot. Veal tartare arrives under a jelly with grapefruit and a chimichurri purée. The roasted venison comes with sauerkraut shaped into a cylinder and saffron polenta balls. The tasting menu is priced at 188 euros, and a vegetarian version is available.
The dining room occupies a subtly modernised historic building, with chandeliers, silver cutlery and white tablecloths. The mood is relaxed, and many guests are regulars. A single server manages the floor but does not always have time to explain each dish in detail. Private dining is available for celebrations and company events.

Concept Established, exclusive fine dining in the Hamburg district of Eppendorf. One menu (8 courses). Culinary Style Wahabi Nouri, who will soon hand over the kitchen to his son, is marking his 35th anniversary with a grand finale. Vegetables and, as always, a wide variety of spices take center stage. Three preparations of carrot – as gazpacho, sorbet balls, and yellow carrot – provide a refreshing start. A beautiful interplay of fruit, mild heat, and meat shines through in the veal tartare served beneath a jelly with grapefruit and chimichurri purée. The roasted venison is excellent, accompanied by a touch of sauerkraut (shaped into a cylinder) and saffron polenta balls. Wine A small selection of bottled wines (from €65), with wine pairing available for the menu. Atmosphere A subtly modernized historic building. Relaxed ambiance, with many regular guests. The solo server keeps everything under control but doesn't always have time to explain the dishes in detail. Verdict A reliable fine-dining destination for a delightful evening.
Oriental-inspired gourmet menus with six courses, elegantly framed by chandeliers, silver cutlery, and white tablecloths, in the small but refined dining room. The culinary magician behind the stove is named Wahabi Nouri.
