Hanna's Gourmet

I had to put 4 stars for atmosphere because the music was a bit loud and out of context for a nice brunch spot. Besides that the green chilaquiles with chorizo and the ricotta pancakes were amazing!

Hannah's Gourmet in San Diego, California, deserves a solid 5 stars! Their vanilla lattes are superb, striking a perfect balance of coffee and vanilla. The green chilaquiles are an absolute delight—crispy tortilla chips, vibrant green sauce, and fresh ingredients create an unforgettable Mexican-inspired experience. The cozy ambiance and attentive staff complete the fantastic dining experience. Don't miss it for an authentic culinary journey!

I really enjoyed my lunch here. The crew is very accommodating. The food is delicious, you can tell its quality and most likely made from scratch unlike chain restaurants or a lot of other places have gone down in quality but Hanna's gourmet is still very delicious quality food and service !! The drinks are made so pretty too & your water and coffee always refilled! absolutely recommend it! THEY ALSO HAVE TAKE HOME DINNERS!! AMAZING OPTION!!

The food is delicious !! The quality and quantity are perfection! The staff is very friendly, attentive, and has a very homie feel staff is always smiling & laughing with each other! It's contagious! They have specials every Sunday . Today, I had poblano cream chilaquiles! Delicious! This is a hidden gem that is absolutely recommended!

Always amazing. We hosted our annual employee dinner event and our 40 guests were highly impressed with the flavors, presentation and drinks! Hannah and her team outdid themselves. Thank you and you should call in them for in house buyouts or catered events. (We did a buyout!)

One of the best breakfast places I've been to. And, hands down the best red velvet pancakes I've ever had in my life. Pancakes are big, soft, fluffy. Really friendly people. I had to do 2 or 3 rounds in a 3 block radius to find a parking spot, but the breakfast was totally worth the trouble. Totally recommended!

What a breath of fresh air! With all these pop up restaurants everywhere trying to be trendy with bacon and Mexican inspirations the Hanna's Gourmet stands out from them all! The chef and owner has created a outstanding menu with fresh ingredients and everything is homemade from scratch. This is a world cafe so the menu is always changing with authentic gourmet dishes that will leave you fully satisfied. Very friendly staff, cute airy atmosphere with a quaint courtyard. Don't miss this restaurant!

The food was good for the price! unfortunately they’re only open Sundays for dine in. I advise you wear something you don’t want to spend the rest of the day in because if you dine in here you’re clothes will smell like a fryer.

Highly recommended breakfast/ brunch location . Homemade taste with all the food . Friendly staff

Came here for Sunday brunch and had a lovely meal in the patio area facing out onto Adams Avenue, perfect for a lazy morning of people watching. Felt very Parisian in that way. The waiter was great and made sure we had refills of coffee and water, was good about checking in on us. We had: 1. The Eggs a La Espana. Delicious chorizo sausage with scrambled egg, potatoes, and grilled toast. 2. Shared berry ricotta pancakes. See pix. Satisfied our sweet tooth! 3. Two eggs over easy with sausage and toast w/rosemary potatoes. All dishes were SO GOOD, will def keep on our rotation. Bonus tip: there's a cute pottery shop next door where you can participate in making your own or buy a handmade one.

It's been a while since we've been here and it's still just as wonderful as the last time! The mimosas are tasty and fresh. We had the blackberry cream, the strawberry mint, and the mango mint. The mango was our personal favorite. The chilaquiles were phenomenal! It's really hard for places to not have soggy chips. These were crispy and the spicy green sauce was over the top. The eggs a la France were a spin off of a croque madame and the sauce on it was so perfectly unique. Everything was so good that after we were done we decided to get an additional side of biscuits and gravy. Again, the sauce was not an original biscuits and gravy you'd expect but instead far more unique and savory. The biscuit was made in house and was nice and fluffy. All in all this place is still an absolute staple and one everyone should go to. The fact that they switch up their menus constantly and yet don't lose their amazing flavors or pairings in each dish is such a feat. Service fast as always and such a chill hole in the wall atmosphere to this day. Will be returning, of course!

Highly recommend. We have ordered many Sunday pick up meals and never a one has disappointed. Menu is rotating, but a few staples are found week to week. Normally, when someone orders to go, it ends up being questionable. However, the Sunday pick up meals here are top notch and incredible. My favorites are the lasagna, their meat dishes, their shrimp dishes, and various other rotating items. Too many to list. As sides, the creamy potato and Butternut Squash Mash is incredible. And the carrot cake is devine. You must check them out. They will not disappoint.

I ordered dinner for my mom's birthday. It was so delicious, everybody was raving about it:)

Sunday brunch was delightful tasty and plentiful. Service was a bit slow yet consider the menu which is presented . I will take quality over fast preparation. I normally would take photos I blew it. I do miss the side eating area. Yet for a pleasant not noisy restaurant enabling to have a conversation is priceless. Well worth it

Great rotating menu that offers a nice variety of choices over time. It's a small space which is cozy and has a European feel to it. The staff were knowledgeable about the menu and took care of our needs.

Wasn't originally supposed to eat here but stumbled upon it while walking down the street. Menu looked appealing and there was no wait time. We sat down immediately as a part of 6 and the outside seating was beautiful. Staff was very nice. And food was delicious. A little pricey but worth it. Got the turkey sandwich with a salad. All very good.

I really like Hanna's. I was there several times before the pandemic and always enjoyed my meal. They are currently only serving on Sundays for brunch. We went last week and had the best chilaquiles I have ever eaten. Everything was fresh and flavorful. This is a small women owned business. I really like supporting small businesses l especially like it when I get rewarded with such a great meal.

1st time here for Sunday brunch - they didn't disappoint Cute quaint place in North Park area Lovely decor inside clean space friendly staff shout out to Ricardo Great menu selection - French toast is a must and the strawberry mint mimosa Def coming back again

Great place to eat ALL the time. Amazing food and the best customer service. The ambiance is unique, and the variety of dishes are so pleasant for your palate.

Tried pre-cooked meals to go! So far very impressed! Will try all the food! Great concept to meal prep your week! No cooking

Wonderful place to dine for unique dishes that are full of flavor! The food is never heavy/greasy but healthier for sure and the portions are more on the gourmet style. Parking as with most locations is a pickle but with patience a spot opens up in the neighborhood pretty fast~ The homemade desserts and bread is just down right delicious

Great food at an affordable price in a cute, intimate spot. The biscuit and gravy for brunch was so filling and tasty and only costs about $15, which is a great deal in San Diego in my opinion! The owner even came out to say hello. No complaints... will be back for sure to try other dishes.

I would have given 5 stars because their food is amazing BUT it took us at least 20 mins to get service. Granted, it was a busy Sunday but still, we had to try and catch their attention which took some time. I would still come back though, that's how good the food is! BEST CARROT CAKE EVERRR.

Breakfast is back! So delicious! I wasn't sure what to expect, having only purchased delicious Italian take-home meals during lockdown and family-style dinners before that. I am super excited to support Hanna again with her reopening to the public! The interior is as cute as ever with marble tables and a crystal chandelier. Our servers were fast and friendly. Today's special- eggs benedict with Peruvian chicken knocked it out of the park! The eggs were perfectly poached on sweet potato patties with lightly sautéed spinach and chicken breasts in a delicious aji. Tasted as good as the pic! What a super treat to start the week! Had a potent vanilla latte to top it all off.

Hanna's Gourmet does not disappoint. Consistently exceptional service. The food is always beyond our expectations. We have expectations here because of the food quality we enjoy every time we visit. So fortunate to immediately be whisked in to a perfect deuce table along the banquet. Perfect Sunday brunch.

Came across this place when I was in the neighborhood and looking for a place to grab brunch. Hanna's Gourmet felt so homey and comfortable. The servers were super friendly and really wakes us through the menu and gave us some great recommendations. It's always great when the staff of a restaurant really vouch for the food, they were singing praises for the chef and her attention to detail! Little bit slow on the service though, but worth the wait. I got the Eggs a La Marrakesh, a baked land and eggs dish, and I absolutely loved it! Piping hot and fresh - flavored and spiced so well. Craving it again as I write this review! I also got a mimosa, which was average.

Really good selection of brunch. The service was top class and the ambience was very friendly.

In mid-July, Hanna's Gourmet decided to reopen with limited online-only ordering. The minimum order was $70 so a few friends and I each got some items to exceed this threshold. The cut-off was Thursday with pick up between 2 and 6 pm on Sunday. Pre-packaged meal kits and a la carte items were available for purchase. From the list of entrees, the Turkish Eggplant Stuffed with Scented Lamb & Rice ($15) caught my eye. The item was served on a bed of cinnamon scented tomato sauce. It definitely had a Middle Eastern flair with the combination of flavors. I paired this with a sweet treat in the form of their Famous Carrot Cake ($7). A large three-layer cake slice was dressed with a candied kumquat sauce. This was very unique as I never would have thought about using a Southeast Asian fruit as a dessert topping like this. If things get closer back to normal in the future, the once a month family-style dinner featuring different countries is on my to-do list. The fact that this North Park kitchen is so talented and versatile to produce cuisine from multiple cultures is admirable.

Hanna's Gourmet is a quirky little restaurant located in an Adams Avenue storefront. The décor is reminiscent of a coffee house, which is somewhat elevated in tone by the presence of three twinkling crystal chandeliers hanging from the exposed-pipe ceiling. I like the old marble-topped bistro style tables and the higgly-piggly mismatched feel to the dining room. The menu places an emphasis on an international array of dishes, skipping across the globe in search of its inspiration and recipes. Perhaps Hanna's Gourmet offers more home style cooking than restaurant cooking, which can actually be a good thing. Just like with Mama at home, things are not always perfect. The Tortellini with caramelized apples arrives swimming in too much sauce, but it is delicious nonetheless, so you eat it all with gusto, and just zoop up the sauce with the homemade focaccia bread [on request only]. It was service-with-a-smile by the kindly and efficient Jacob.

Hanna's so lovely I should have updated this a while ago sorry y'all keep up the good work

It had been years since my last visit to Hanna's and it's a shame to think that it took my wife getting an early morning oil change down the street to bring my fat butt back through the door. As always, the food was excellent... We split an order of the carrot cake pancakes, which were great. I especially liked that they didn't ice them before hand allowing us to control the amount of sugar that we felt acceptable. Well, we used the entire portion. My ground lamb with poached eggs and pita bread was just what I was looking for. Sure, I'll eat things like sweet pancakes from time to time but 9/10 times I'm savory, and this meal was say-vor-eeeeeeeee... I loved it! Round it all out with some really good coffee and you have yourself a winner! We will certainly be back and we're not waiting for an oil change next time!

I've been here twice now once for breakfast and once this past weekend for lunch and both times did not disappoint! I think what really sets them apart is all their employees are super friendly right when you enter. They fit in with the homey, normal heights community. We've tried their omelette, French toast, and hamburger. Their house coffee is just okay - kind of on the burnt side --but it's endless refills. I got their iced tea which was a mix of earl grey and something fruity and it was pretty basic. Most people get their cocktails such as mimosas. They have monthly community dinner events which features a different theme based on a country I.e this upcoming one is themed Brazil for about $50 a person. I haven't tried that yet but definitely coming for that!!

I like the concept of this place. It's a twist on traditional brunch and eggs Benedict which could get boring. There's a list of egg dishes you can choose from with flavors inspired by different cuisines around the world such as Africa, Spain, France, etc. They also have pancake options to choose from. We tried two different egg dishes and ordered a side of biscuit & gravy and both of us enjoyed the biscuits more than our main dishes. I didn't think any of the foods were special. The pita bread was mediocre, the soup was mediocre, the yogurt dip I had was mediocre...I guess the eggs were cooked well. The service was also a bit slow even though it wasn't busy; however, our server was friendly and accommodated all our needs and checked up on us several times. I did visit here once before just for some afternoon tea and pastries. I gotta say, their carrot cake is delicious. They also have a great selection of teas that taste exotic and fragrant. I think their forte is definitely the sweets, so if I ever come back I would come for some cake & tea but I'd skip their brunch.

This place is a gourmet gem! I'm amazed that it hasn't been found out. I have not had this kind of excellent food and relaxation in the same place in a very long time. A no rush, enjoy your company, food and best coffee I can remember. If you are looking for fast paced diner food....do not come here. You'll waist your time and theirs. Thank you Hannah's! I will be back with my big pallet daughter soon.

It's taken quite awhile to get out and try this place. When I saw Isabella B's review for the brunch I knew I had to try the marrakech eggs even though I'm not even a fan of lamb. It was the perfect dish to get in the holiday mood with the warm cinnamon and the hearty red sauce. The lamb wasn't gamey and the eggs on this dish were poached perfectly. The chilaquiles in green sauce were also tasty and each chip was sauced but still crispy. The poached eggs on this dish were a little too done, but for being a non mexican eatery I was impressed by the authenticity. The piece de resistance of the meal had to be the carrot cake. I was only talked into this dessert because there are no raisins in it....also it was recently featured in the San Diego Food and Wine magazine. In fact, we were told that they used to sell 4 carrot cakes a week but after the article came out their orders more than doubled. You can get an entire cake for $50 and by the slice you pay $7 which wasn't bad at all considering how large a slice it was. Our service was excellent and I'll definitely be returning to try one of their country focused dinners where everything is done family style. Wish I lived in the neighborhood and I'd be a regular.

On a mid-Sunday morning 4 of us were seated right away. What a great find, both the food, drinks and service was great. The baguette French toast was perfectly seasoned and grilled! The Pastrami Benedict had a very good spicy sauce which enhanced the flavor of the pastrami!

About a week ago... Me: Is Hanna's back open yet? Husband: Their website says they're not. Me: Did you refresh? How about now? Hanna's is reopen for business during COVID! However, they are only doing made to order pre-packaged dinners. You select what you want on their site ($70 minimum) by Thursday at the latest and then pick up on Sunday between 2-6 pm. If you're a regular, you'll notice some favorites from their new menu, such as the proscuitto and apple tortellini (my fave), lasagna, Moroccan chicken, and flourless chocolate cake. There are also stews, sauces, and sides if you don't want to order entrees. The menu does change, and there are diverse options including vegetarian options. The dinners are packaged nicely in eco-friendly containers with clear labels. If you're not going home right away, I'd suggest you bring a cooler with some ice packs. The dinners are cold so that you can reheat them when you're ready to eat. As for portion size, you get the same portions! Instead of having a 4 hour pickup window on Sunday from 2-6 pm, I wish I could pick up on either Saturday from 4-6 pm or Sunday from 4-6 pm. I have missed Hanna's cooking, so it's been the highlight of my week that I get to eat her food all during the week now! Woo hoo! Please consider supporting this small business!

Hands down phenomenal every time every meal! We've gotten the weekly ready made dinners several times and love them.

Returned for their brunch! In a party of 8, they still did not disappoint. It's been so long since I've been here for brunch. Their lamb burger with freshly made sweet patato fries is a must try! Spices in the lamb makes the burger less gamey and more flavorful. Great friendly services as usual!

I liked this little restaurant it's relatively nice on the inside, good wait staff & good food. I tried multiple entrees and some beverages. I thought the eggs Ella France was a good dish almost like a eggs Benedict with a flavorful sauce. They also offer a pastrami Benedict that I would be interested in ordering. My date ordered their turkey and pear sandwich which we both thought was ok. In addition I ordered the meat lasagna which was really good. This place is sort of unique, kinda French & Italian feel to place. All in all I would be interested in coming back and trying a few more things on the menu, like the stuft chicken amongst others. The decor is nice including chandeliers and tall ceilings. Check it out, you may certainly find something you like here Happy eating!!

This place is super cute and reminds me of dining in Europe if you eat outside in the side patio or in the front. Like all restaurants in this area, you'll have to find street parking. We called ahead on a Sunday to inquire about wait time which was less than 15 minutes. However, when we got there, we were seated immediately. The menu is unique as it focuses on dishes from around the world. For example, International Burger section had selections from Thai and India. The breakfast egg section, titled Taste The World offered egg dishes from Africa, Spain, France, Morocco, Mexico, and U.S. I ordered fresh squeezed orange juice and Eggs a la Espana. The egg are on a bed of sliced potatoes with chorizo sausage toppings and a side of thin white toast. I like how they kept this dish authentic with Spanish chorizo and Romesco sauce. The egg was cooked over medium and had a thin fluff layer resembling the thin layer on a pizza. When you lift the edges, the potatoes are underneath like a pot pie. My first bite reminded me of pizza and it gets better with every bite. Keep in the mind the Romesco sauce has hazelnut in case you're allergic to nuts. There are full length mirrors on the walls and each mirror displays a country with a prix fix menu offering on a certain day of the week for a set price. Coming up this month is a prix fix menu for New Orleans. If you haven't been physically around the world, I would recommend coming here to satisfy your temporary cuisine curiosity for that particular country.

One of my top favorite restaurants in San Diego! I've tried many brunch spots in San Diego, and Hanna's is one of the best. San Diego has so many brunch spots, that you need to do something to stand out from all the rest. Hanna's does that with the quality of their food. I'm normally not a fan of omelettes, but their Prociutto Spinach Ricotta omelette is so light and fluffy. I love the combination of the creamy ricotta with the salty prociutto. Their berry ricotta pancakes also have the perfect light and fluffy texture, mixed with dollops of creamy ricotta. Their brunch was so good, I had to try their dinner. I feel like it's rare for a restaurant to be good at brunch and dinner, but Hanna's does it effortlessly. I loved their South African Meatloaf. On top of all that, their service has always been amazing. Can't wait to go back and try more from their menu!

The food and service here is very good. I got the Ruben sandwich and the balance of flavors was spot on the pastrami Benedict was good as well. A little spicy which I love. For dessert we got the almond caramel cake and just the right amount of sweetness. I'd come back for sure

Summary - Unique and well executed dishes that makes me come back for more. We've been wanting to come to place for a while and after we went there first time, we've gone back several more by ourselves and with friends. We've only gone for breakfast/brunch so this is not a lunch or dinner review. Their breakfasts have many traditional dishes and other ones you will not find elsewhere. Eggs a la Marrakech - This is my husbands hands down favorite. Ground lamb cooked with tomatoes, cinnamon and cumin are baked under 2 eggs. As you break open the egg yolks, the runny yolks drain and mix with the meat to create a high flavorful combination that goes so well with the potatoes and toast that comes with this dish. My husband uses the bread to mop up every drop of the sauce. Eggs a la Espana - My husband tried this also and while it wasn't bad at all, it did not have the same pop and tastiness of the Marrakech. In this dish, its potatoes, chorizo and onions and cheese under the 2 eggs baked. Certainly, the chorizo was flavorful and the potatoes cooked well but this dish seemed to be less than the sum of its parts. Still good though. Biscuits & Gravy - Very well excuted classic. The Biscuits were warm and soft and the gravy was rich and thick with plenty of sausage in it. Very heavy and dense and rich. 1 order is good to share as a side for 3-4 people. Pastrami Reuben Sandwich - Its been hard to find good pastrami in SD so I figured I give it a try. The pastrami was a little dry but the sauerkraut and Russian dressing offset that quite a bit. Omelet - They have a few different omelets and they are all pretty light and refreshing compared to some of the heavier breakfast items. The best thing is the pesto that they fold into the omelet. It provides an incredible refreshing taste and flavor and brings all of the ingredients together. This is a neat little neighborhood location that should be appreciated. Will come again.

Since my last review, I've been here 2 more times, both being during those family-style themed dinners. They certainly know how to take us on a culinary cuisine journey around the world. The first one was with Irish food. I can't say i've ever had Irish food outside of St. Patrick's Day celebrations. Everything was delicious. Oddly enough, what stood out the most to me were the mashed peas. The second one was with Indian food. The chicken was so tender. The dessert was pretty good. When I barely touched it with my spoon, it seemed to open up just like a flower. Both times, it was delicious. We ate well, and leaving here hungry is impossible. We also got a visit from Hanna the head chef at our tables! She is very humble, sweet, and warm. Even if you don't come here for the family feast, the individual entrees are very good. If you do decide to try to feasts, you have to reserve your spot in advance, and it will cost $35 plus tax, and it doesn't include tip or beverages. I went ahead and paid in person to leave no doubt that i would be there. You also have an option of leaving your tip in advance. No refunds once paid, but you can transfer your spot to another person up to the day of the feast. These happen every 3rd Thursday of the month. You basically sit along a long table with others, friends and strangers alike. I look forward to the next visit, regardless of its nature.

Been wanting to visit for a while and finally came in for breakfast over the weekend. The space has a cozy family-run feel to it and they have a outdoor area which would be great to sit in weather allowing. The Vegetarian omelet was the best omelet I've had in some time; the goat cheese was melted perfectly and the vegetables had a lot of great flavor and I didn't need to use any hot sauce and etc. The ootatoes5and toast were also outstanding and the portion size overall was very filling. Service was excellent throughout the meal and they have a interesting menu with global influences which is great too see. Will definitely be back again to try their lunch and dinner options for sure.

The flavors of the food at Hannah's Gourmet are fabulous. They can make even the most hardcore foodie happy. One of the ladies in our party ordered a Caesar Salad and remarked that it was the best Caesar Salad she's ever eaten. The parmesan "bowl" the salad came with was the most amazing thing ever. The balance of flavors on the omelette I ate left my mouth happy and hungry for more. Even after my tummy was full, I kept wanting to eat more. I think the jam they gave us for our bread was homemade. I left full, satisfied and extremely happy. Service was great and they had no trouble splitting our checks for a table of six.

Hanna's is fancy casual. I ordered their "Famous" Turkey Sandwich (Turkey, pear, brie & cranberry aioli). This was an interesting combination to say the least. The house made focaccia bread fought tooth and nail from breaking apart. In the end I ended up using a fork to finish off the sandwich. Not a big deal. The included side salad was top shelf. Together, this was a great lunch at a pretty reasonable price. Hanna's is a good spot for lunch and be sure to try their iced tea. - Parking wasn't so bad in this area. - Plates over Burgers over Sandwiches

Yummmm Hanna's Gourmet omelette a la romana is absolutely delicious. The combination of flavors brings a unique experience to every bite. The perfect texture of eggs, the Gorgonzola cheese and the veggies really mesh well together. There's an ingredient in there that I couldn't make out that really stays with you after the bite a friend suggested coconut milk but I couldn't tell you. Whatever it is- it works! The omelette comes with a side of thyme potatoes and toast. The jelly for the toast was also very good- I wonder if it's made in house? I can't wait to visit again! Keep up the great cooking Hannah!

Hanna's Gourmet is super yummy! Technical term, I know. I was initially introduced to Hanna's Gourmet for a Yelp Elite event a year or two ago and loved the food. Hanna's Gourmet is located in University Heights / North Park area of San Diego and is focused on "fresh" and "gourmet" Modern European food. Their website also states that they also offer catering events in San Diego area. I made it back to Hanna's Gourmet as a regular customer with some fellow Yelp Elites and friends for their monthly family style dinner (every 3rd Thursday for $35 per person (excluding tax, tip, and drinks)). For November 2016, it was "Irish Themed". The "Irish Themed" menu consisted of the following: - Soda Bread - Red Cabbage, Beets & Green Apple Salad With Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette - Beef & Stout Stew - Irish Baked Salmon With Creamy Whisky Sauce - Colcannon (Potato, Leek, Parsnip & Kale) - Creamy Mushy Peas - Chocolate Coffee Cake With Bailey's Frosting Everything was perfectly cooked and really fresh!! Delicious and amazing!! Definitely a good value for $35 (especially when we couldn't finish all the food)!! I was already full and went back for third helpings (you read that correctly, not second helpings, but third helpings). My stomach was about to explode!! A Yelp Elite friend and I also shared a bottle of Sauvignon Blanc (indaba from South Africa - 13% Alc By Vol). YUM!! Hanna's Gourmet also has regular menus for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. - Breakfast - http://www.hannasgourmetcatering.com/Breakfast-Menu.html - Lunch / Dinner - http://www.hannasgourmetcatering.com/menu.html ENJOY!! Special thanks to Ryan M for gathering the Yelp Elites & Yelpers for this UYE.

Last night, our friend and fellow Yelp Elite Ryan M. arranged for a UYE to be held at Hanna's Gourmet for their monthly family-style dinner featuring a particular country's cuisine; in this case, Ireland! For $35 (not including drinks, tax, or tip), we were served a variety of sumptuous dishes that our group raved about... Red Cabbage, Beets, and Green Apple Salad w/Creamy Tarragon Vinaigrette and Gorgonzola Crumbles: normally, I'm not a fan of red cabbage, but this warm salad worked. We really loved the beets especially! Soda Bread: we got a warm batch of bread, and with how quickly it disappeared, I kinda wanted more! Beef & Stout Stew: the beef was very tender, the root veggies complimented the dish, and the stout gravy bound the dish together. Irish Baked Salmon w/Creamy Whisky Sauce: cooked perfectly and quite fork-tender. Colcannon (potatoes, leeks, parsnips, and kale mashed together): this was the dish I really was looking forward to trying, especially after reading about Irish cuisine previously. Think of it as a mashed potato and veggie dish... and it tasted pretty good! Creamy Mushy Peas: a very interesting side dish, with an interesting texture. It was my first time trying this, but was also surprised at how good it was. Chocolate Coffee Cake w/Bailey's Frosting: honestly, I was a bit disappointed by this one - the cake was moist, but also a bit on the bland side, with the sweetness being from the frosting. Perfect for a diabetic like myself... but also for my health-conscious brother, who saw it in the fridge after I brought it home, asked to try a bite - and proceeded to finish it off (his response was that he couldn't help himself, as he hadn't had cake in a long time, and the mild taste suited his lifestyle)! Sharing is caring, I suppose... I also had a fruit iced tea ($3), which wasn't sweetened at all but had enough caffeine to keep me going through dinner. Plus, unlike the soft drinks, there was free refills! Hanna's Gourmet is pretty cozy and intimate; our group was in the center of the room with tables being grouped together in a large row. As there was a second seating that evening at 7:30, we couldn't linger as long as we would've liked, but the timing for the dinner was perfect. We all left happy and full... and in my case, it was off to the Yelp Elite Event at Pacific Standard Coastal Kitchen... until I took a few wrong turns and found myself on the 163N. I suppose it was for the best, seeing how stuffed I was and how the event would've been winding up by the time I got there anyway. Still, a great evening with great food and great folks (a few of Ryan's coworkers also were invited, and they had questions for us about Yelp Elitehood which I hope we were able to answer). Many thanks to Ryan for arranging this, and for the folks at Hanna's Gourmet for feeding us! Think I'll come back for their happy hour (which I noticed when I went to the venue a week prior to pay beforehand; Ryan's review covers the process for reservations and paying for the monthly dinner)...

Thank you Nicole for setting up a brunch with the girls here! Place is so cute. Food is amazing!! Omg!! The egg espana yummmaaayyy!!! Carrot cake pancake mmmm walnuts in every bite!! Our waiter was great! Very patient and nice. I definitely recommend this place for brunch. No lines out the door. It is busy and there's a good amount of seating.

I've been meaning to come back here and update my review to see if the 5-star would stay or go... Today (4/29/17), we ordered their Pastrami Benedict and Eggs A La France (for me). Both came with a side of potatoes and poached eggs, yum! The Eggs A La France is served with a ham sandwich on toasted sourdough bread with the mustard-based tarragon, hollandaise sauce and eggs on top of the bread. The tarragon is... interesting. It's not an herb that I'm exposed to on a daily basis, but it offers a.. flowery... aroma to it and is detectable with your taste buds, too. Soooo if aromatics freak you out, this might be a little off putting, lol. One thing I would change: crispier potatoes, please! The 5-Star definitely is staying because -- other than delicious food -- their service was, yet again, awesome. I expected this place to be packed on a beautiful Saturday morning, but NOPE. There was no wait -- we picked whichever table to sit at. I mean, wow, WHY DOESN'T THIS PLACE HAVE A LONG-ASS LINE OUTSIDE?! Okay, just kidding, I like that this place isn't busy :P Our server (same guy was my server the first time I was here) took good care of us! Our food also came faster than I expected :) Other things to note... THEIR COFFEE HAS CRACK. Wait, no.. their coffee IS crack, lolol. I had 2 cups and was considering a 3rd, lmaoooo, got me f*cked up O_o Before I end this updated review... if you're deciding between the Eggs A La Espana or the Eggs A La France, I say go with the former. I like the flavors better; it comes with chorizo, which I enjoyed. However, if you're getting over a hangover, go for the Eggs A La France. Bread + potatoes = carb overload = happy hangover cure! :D

Had the lasagna it was tasty The waiter was nice and took care of us the place was cute and quaint lots of wine choices.

Came here for their family style dinner ($35) which is offered every 3rd Thursday of the month, (reservations and prepayment required). The cuisine changes, every month they feature a different country, this month happened to be France! Oh la la! (see pic for our family style menu) OMG it was so good! Honestly the best piece of salmon I've ever eaten! So tenter and moist and the creamy sauce was delicious! Lentils? i never eat them, but these were delicious, not over cooked and grainy like I'm used to. i even went back for seconds! The haricot vets (green beens) were also perfectly done. I don't usually like butternut squash or watercress, but the watercress salad with baked grapes was delicious! The watercress was very mellow and baked grapes? who knew?! The butternut squash and creamy potatoes were also amazing, the butternut squash added a bit of nuttiness and was very light and buttery. The duck sausage was also delicious, what made it was the cherry wine sauce. I usually don't like fruit based sauces because they are usually too tart, sweet, or acidic but once again the sauce was well balanced and perfectly done. Dessert was by far the favorite, a light cake with rich chocolate and hazelnut paste and a poached pear. The best dessert I can remember in a very long time! Everyone Ohh-ed and ahh-ed over the whole meal. For the family style dinners (3rd thursday of the month), there are 2 seatings, 5:30 and 7:30. You can make a reservation by phone but need to pay IN PERSON within 3 days if you want to keep your reservation, they do not take credit cards over the phone. You'll pay for the meal and tax to reserve your spot ahead of time, then pay for drinks time of the meal, don't forget to tip on the dinner too. The $35 ($37.80 with tax) is non refundable, but the reservation may be transferred to another person for the same date. The food is excellent, but not overly fancy or trendy, just simple food done to perfection. Everyone has that mom, aunty, cousin, neighbor, or friend who is just a fantastic cook and everyone says, "you should open your own restaurant" That's Hanna, she's like the best home cook that you know, because you can taste the love that goes into it, and the food really has a soul, something that you just won't find in any of those high end corporate restaurants.

AMAZING!!! From drinks to food nothing short from delicious, fresh, and healthy ingredients! Chef Hanna is fantastic! We will definitely be back.

This is officially one of my new, favorite places to eat! Everything about this restaurant is so detailed and amazing - the decor, menu, monthly family dinners, and prixe fix meals. I initially came here because I was intrigued by the menu - it is so inspired! Hannah's dishes are influenced by various cuisines from around the world, and the rotating family dinners and prixe fix meals tend to focus on one particular cuisine. We got the brie, serrano, and mango quesadillas as our appetizer, and the South African curried meatloaf for our entrees. Everything we got was delicious! The quesadillas were so unique and perfectly balanced. The meatloaf dish was incredible. The best rice I've ever had, the meatloaf was flavorful, the topping which seemed to be some sort of sauce baked on top with almonds, added something extra that really tied it all together. I ended up getting an almond torte and a caramel shortbread cookie to go - both were also amazing. We came a little late around 8:40ish - the kitchen closes at 9. We ended up being the last people dining towards the end of our meal and got lucky because Hannah came out and we got to meet her. She was so nice and friendly, and told us about her family dinners. We love this place and will be coming back frequently!

YES! I would drive down from North County every single day if I could to eat at Hanna's! When coming here with my friends, I had the honor of meeting THE Hanna and her husband. The store is beautiful small and quaint. There are a few seats on the outside patio, indoors, and then there are a couple tables outside on the back patio. I can't believe I have never been here! I ordered the Eggs a La Espana. So much flavor in my food that I didn't want it to end! My friend had the turkey sandwich and I was a little jealous. I love cheese and I could just see the brie on my friends sandwich and I wanted it all! My other friend ordered the Asparagus Lasagna. So delicious and fresh. Nice and hot as well. I love this spot and can't wait to come here and bring all my friends here.
