Johanna Berger – Das Restaurant

Johanna Berger's restaurant occupies an old town address on Dr.-Julius-Leber-Straße, with dining rooms inside the historic building and seating in a quiet courtyard. Berger is both the owner and a chef, and her cooking draws on experience gained in southern France, London, the North Sea region and Lübeck. She has been serving food in her namesake restaurant since 2015. Jamel Jerome Poerschke joined the kitchen in May 2024, bringing a particular interest in reinterpreting familiar regional cooking. Their shared approach gives guests a choice between an à la carte meal and a surprise menu shaped by the two cooks' different backgrounds. Seasonal ingredients and preparations made in the kitchen guide the selection. The à la carte offering includes tomatoes with burrata and olive oil, beef carpaccio with truffle mayonnaise and caviar, and ceviche with pickled onion and sesame. Vegetarian main courses include saffron risotto with fennel and roasted pepper, alongside a vegetable dish called Waldspaziergang, served with mushroom jus. Fish appears both as a changing catch and as pikeperch accompanied by saffron risotto and fennel. Meat choices include a changing cut and beef tenderloin with popcorn and jus. Dessert can be followed or replaced by a trio of cheeses with jelly and dark bread. The menu varies with what suppliers can provide, so individual dishes may change. Wine pairings accompany the surprise menus, while the drinks selection also includes a house cocktail. Tables can be reserved online, by phone or by email. The team also welcomes enquiries about private events, rooms and specially arranged menus.
