Ill start by saying, what a hidden gem this restaurant was. Hidden in a small, comfortable place. Easily you could walk by without notice, except for the michelin star. A meal that was well thought out, each course balanced well. With wine pairings that fit perfectly. Go for the 4 course surprise meal, it was such a wonderful experience giving the chef the choice to create a food experience. The star was the appetizer, as each bite was in harmony and melded perfectly. Combined with wonderful and attentive service, proved why a young restaurant would have the star they do. If you are ever in Northern Germany you need to make sure you go and leave with such wonderful memories as I. Prices are not cheap but most definitely worth it.

Food was amazing and the wine pairing is out of this world. Definitely recommend. Probably, one of the best restaurants in the North Germany.

This was truly a very special evening.The restaurant is beautiful. Service is relaxed, there was often the sound of laughter from the kitchen, and the team clearly have fun working together to produce clever food and a memorable evening for their guests. Tasting menu and wines were perfectly paired. Nothing gimmicky, nothing gratuitous – simply artful combinations of flavours well presented. The chef, who is deservedly ambitious for a star, lets the food – which is locally sourced – speak for itself, but he adds inventive flair and creativity to make each course really sing. We had the great pleasure of chatting with the chef for some while after dinner (we forgive him for supporting the wrong football team) and were delighted to be joined by Johanna Berger. It was a memorable evening and we felt very lucky to have spent time with talented professionals who are clearly passionate about their work. If ever you are in Lübeck, do go, you won’t be disappointed.

This place is amazing!!
The service and the food is outstanding.
We had the best time here. Lunch have some very reasonable prices. Perfect way to escape the cold at the lovely Christmas market and regain strength for some more Christmas fun.
I sense a tradition coming up. 🙂

In one word – perfect. Amongst another good restaurants in Lübeck Johanna Berger stands alone. Exquisite kitchen coming from one of the best chefs in Germany will not only please your senses, but it will surprise you with its complexity and beauty. Excellent wine selection of the best German wines together with high quality service. 10 out of 10.

Great service, staff very attentive with the right degree of entertainment. Entrees and deserts delicious. Considering the Michelin star mains were slightly disappointing.

In my opinion, a restaurant experience is first and foremost about the food and then ambience and service add a nuance. Having said this, the dream team of Chefs Johanna and Jamel are producing excellence from local ingredients to the extent I have only experienced at the 1* establishment of Wullenwever a short walk from here.
We decided on a 3-course Surprise Menu and one 3-course à la carte combination, both with the standard wine “journey”, and both of us were thrilled by the variety, presentation, and taste of every morsel. Nothing on those plates was boring, the portion sizes were generous, and the wines were exceptional (even including a beautiful 1993 red). Needless to say, we were very impressed and left with a wish to return.
On this balmy Lübeck evening, we decided to sit outside, and while the interior spaces are wonderful, the exterior could do with a bit more decor. If, as is likely, this restaurant aspires to Michelin stardom, then that might be the only aspect needing a little work. With flawless service, culinary excellence, and a price point that would make the drive from Hamburg a worthwhile endeavor, I give Johanna and Jamel my highest recommendation!

We had the set menu and wine pairing. Food was excellent, wine was great. Some variation but overall very nice. Service was fast and smooth. Really nothing to complain about apart from the slightly crooked painting of Günther Grass. A most pleasant evening!
