It’s a nice small area in the city! I definitely wanted to try a meal that night that was culturally different from my usual orders and this did it! This place does a great job of making you feel like you’re in the European city and service was very friendly!Food choices are definitely different but great to experience

Exceptional service and great great food. Family style, but generous portions for restaurant week.
We made a 7 man reservation at 9pm for I and a friend’s birthday. We enjoyed a chefs tasting menu since it was so late and, from that, I can say that every dish here is made exceptionally well. Every morsel of food was an amazing experience and a blend of complex flavors. The pasta and protein was hearty and cooked to perfection, and the desserts were phenomenal. The fusion of savory and sweet is utilized masterfully at Chez Hansi, in a way I’ve never never experienced before. I ofttimes had to look at the kitchen in shock, since I couldn’t believe that the meal was coming from one (incredibly skilled) chef in a home sized kitchen. This place is an experience, and anyone looking to have exceptional food should be excited to eat at Chez Hansi. Maybe even honored.
This is a very unique restaurant. I wish the city had more places like this. It’s very cozy and the food is always amazing. It’s my favorite restaurant in Philadelphia.

Came for restaurant week. Great restaurant. Food was great. Service was amazing. They very much take care of their guest. Chef works miracles all by himself. The servers ensured we always had water and bread. Well worth it for a night out in Philly. BYOB place so that’s always a plus. Will definitely return.
Such a great place! We loved everything we ordered and the staff were friendly and attentive.

Went during restaurant week with friends, grabbing an early reservation. Cozy place with intimate seating and chill atmosphere. Wait staff and chef were very attentive, pleasant, and accessible. Definitely recommend for not only good but the experience of tender and careful service. All 3 courses were delicious - cooked and seasoned with distinct flavors. Will definitely visit again!

Awesome food with great hospitality! Love the charcuterie, the bastilla, and schnitzel. Thanks again for a great evening :)
This tiny little restaurant is run by husband and wife. It's bi-level and fits about 22 guests. Delicious food, fast service, extremely friendly owners. Super cute inside. Candles and fresh flowers on every table. It's BYO, that's always a great plus. Whether you're eating alone or dining with friends, I'd recommend this place 10/10.
I can't believe it took me 3 years to find this gem (thank you restaurant week). An entire restaurant run solely by 2 people truly had me floored. To think 2 people can run an intimate restaurant at max capacity of I say about 25-30 people is beyond impressive. Food was served in a timely fashion, generous portions, exquisite technique, comforting food especially for a cool evening, and not to mention, a warm hearted service, what more could you ask for? I will never look at food and service the same way. The best way I can describe the food at Chez Hansi is comfort French inspired German food. Very interesting concept, yet elegantly executed. And when I say comfort, I mean it felt like I was dining at my Mom's dinner table. As you can see in the photo, the kitchen and chef are intimately located a few meters from the entrance. As you are seated and perusing the menu, I couldn't help but feel at someone's home. Even as the food was being served, the table felt familiar, the food warming, and you couldn't help but feel the 2 running the show were family. Although French inspired (apologies if I'm mislabeling this as maybe Moroccan), it wasn't French forward if that makes sense? Techniques used were French while maintaining the heartiness of the selected proteins. All the dishes stayed true to its roots and culture. My favorite was the Choucrute Garni. Ingredients are a tad strong in flavor separating but it goes a step above when you eat them together. Harmonious and scrumptious. Fats from the sausages are cut by the acidity of the sauerkraut, and then all are blended together by the creamy starch from the mash. Well done. Overall, an excellent showing. Like I said, I can't believe this place went unnoticed by me for 2-3 years. The two owners are beautiful humans and deserve everything for hosting such a unique and wonderful establishment. Seriously, Philly owes you for your home and passion for the community. Best of luck and I will definitely be seeing them again soon~

This was a fantastic meal for all four in our party. Onion tarts, chicken soup and Caesar salad appetizers were superb. The main courses (duck leg, pork schnitzel and salmon) were equally fantastic. The chocolate mousse was better than any we've had in Paris. Even the French bread was terrific. This is certainly a wonderful place for a great meal in a quiet atmosphere at a reasonable price.
