Restaurant Johanna Berger - Lübeck

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!

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

The service was very good, and saving this place from 1 stars. The kitchen really is nothing but standard german cuisine. We ordered from the card. And for 3 of the 4 courses, it was practically the same garniture: salad, hokkaido, pees, carrots and cabbage?!! Also the courses lacks seasoning. It was like salt and pepper was not available the day we visited. A huge disappointment. If you like fine dining, this is NOT the place. It's really just ordinary german cuisine. With salad.

One is tempted to spontaneously give 5 stars out of 5 possible. In the end I still don't do it (goose) completely. We (four people) entered the restaurant from the rather gloomy Julius-Leber-Straße and you found yourself in a different world. In a bright atmosphere you will be warmly welcomed and shown to a festively set table. The service remains excellent throughout the evening. The selection of champagne as an aperitif and the wine list with the meal are really good. We had pre-ordered the goose menu to match the season. Apart from the fact that you know that the main course is roast goose, it is a surprise menu. After the usual little greeting from the kitchen, we were given porcini mushroom soup as a starter. Extremely delicious. Five stars. The main course was the pre-ordered whole goose for four people. This was also shown to us before it was cut up (it looked wonderful). Unfortunately, the cutting itself didn't happen at the table but in the kitchen. According to the service employee, the goose would be cut up under a heat lamp and then served to us in two courses so that the meat on the plate didn't get cold. Two sets of cutlery were also presented at each place setting. As expected, a small portion of roast goose was served at every seat. Add some small dumplings and some red cabbage in bowls. A small amount of sauce was delivered later upon request. There was also a bowl with small contents, which was probably the stuffing for the goose. You could also see them at the presentation of the goose. After we had emptied our plates (it really tasted very good), our plates were cleared away and the waitress went into the kitchen and announced that she wanted to get the second batch. It was a big surprise when she returned to the table and said that that was probably all before. In short, we weren't really full. Apparently the goose was too small for four people or it was cut up so badly in the kitchen that there was unnecessary waste. Too bad! There was then a small dessert and on the way back via the Lübeck Christmas market a currywurst for the two men. Overall, a nice evening, the rating should not be a slur. Johanna Berger is definitely a good upscale restaurant. But there is room for improvement. Especially since in the end we paid well at 550 euros, including champagne and a bottle of wine.

It was the first time I had a spontaneous meal with my closest friends (4 people). Wine accompaniment. Even though we were spontaneous, we were welcomed and served very well. The food and service was great. Great recommendation and always happy. Price performance was top Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
