Jae Restaurant in Düsseldorf

Was für ein tolles Restaurant. Ein sehr sympathisches und aufmerksames Team. Das Essen war hervorragend und gehört zum besten welches ich bisher im Fine Dining Bereich mit Stern genießen bzw. erleben durfte. Die Kombinationen aus Weinbegleitung und Essen haben perfekt harmoniert und waren passend abgestimmt. Jeder Gang war ein Genuss auf höchstem Level. Würde mich nicht wundern wenn hier bald der 2. Stern kommt. Freue mich auf den nächsten Besuch.

Die Atmosphäre war hervorragend elegant, ruhig und sehr angenehm. Die Innenarchitektur ist minimalistisch und technisch geprägt, dennoch modern und sehr angenehm gestaltet. Der Geschmack der Gerichte war auf höchstem Niveau, jedes Detail perfekt abgestimmt. Auch die Präsentation war überragend und echte Spitzenklasse. Der Service war sehr aufmerksam, professionell und ausgesprochen freundlich. Insgesamt ein absolut lobenswertes Fine-Dining-Erlebnis, das in jeder Hinsicht überzeugt hat.

Tolles Erlebnis – hervorragendes Essen und erstklassiger Service.

Ein wunderschöner Abend mit wunderbaren Speisen. Haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und wirklich alles genossen. Vielen Dank an Herrn Wissmann und sein tolles Team. Wir kommen gerne immer wieder.

Leider kann ich das Essen, den Service und die Atmosphäre in diesem Restaurant nicht bewerten. Wir haben online einen Tisch reserviert und eine Reservierungsbestätigung erhalten. Am Tag unseres geplanten Besuchs erhielten wir andere E-Mail, in der uns mitgeteilt wurde, dass ein Systemfehler aufgetreten sei und keine Plätze mehr verfügbar seien. Sie entschuldigten sich bei uns und boten uns einen kostenlosen Aperitif für unseren nächsten Besuch an. Einerseits verstehen wir, dass Systemfehler vorkommen können, andererseits war es unangenehm. Wir wollten unbedingt im Restaurant Jae zu Abend essen, mussten aber kurzfristig in einem anderen Restaurant reservieren.

Ein unglaubliches kulinarisches Erlebnis – 10/10 für das Essen und der Service waren ebenfalls fantastisch. Absolut empfehlenswert! Höchste Qualität.

Perfekt gerne weiterzuempfehlen ❤️

Selbst mit der koreanischen Küche aufgewachsen, habe ich das Menü als außergewöhnliche Reise in das fine dining mit vielen kurzen Ausflügen in meine Kindheit erlebt. Geschmackserinnerungen völlig neu interpretiert... wirklich faszinierend. Nicht minder hervorragend war die nicht alkoholische Getränkebegleitung, die stets sehr charmant erläutert wurde. Das setting im Restaurant selbst ist warm, heimisch und persönlich, lässt aber durch die Nähe zum Kochgeschehen in zwei Metern Entfernung keinen Zweifel darüber aufkommen, wo man sich befindet.... nämlich in einem Michelin-Sterne-Lokal. Der Stadtteil Friedrichsstadt ist um Jörg Wissmann und dieses Restaurant wirklich zu beneiden.

Wir waren auf der Durchreise und sind spontan hier angehalten, nachdem wir das Restaurant zuvor bei Google entdeckt hatten. Schon von außen wirkt es sehr einladend, und auch innen fühlt man sich sofort wohl. Es ist sehr familienfreundlich, eignet sich aber genauso gut für einen Besuch mit Freunden. Man merkt sofort, dass hier mit viel Sorgfalt und Liebe zum Detail gearbeitet wird. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall gerne wieder

Wir werden wieder kommen. Klein und fein. Ein rundum wohlfühl Restaurant.

Update: 26.02.2026, Nach einigen Monaten waren wir mal wieder im Jae...wie wir sofort bemerken mussten, war die Pause zu lang, denn schon bei den ersten Gängen erlebten wir wieder die tollen Geschmacksexplosionen, die wir zu lange vermisst hatten. Der Wolfsbarsch einfach perfekt, das Reh mit Cassissose ein Gedicht und der Nachtisch mit dem weiteren Petit Four einfach genial. Nun hat das Jae tatsächlich seinen ersten Stern, verdient wie ich gestern (28.09.2024) erneut feststellen durfte. Leider kein "Geheimtipp" mehr daher nicht einfach eine Reservierung zu bekommen. Wir hatten Glück und wurden mit einem rundum perfektem Abend belohnt. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Jae Team. 2023: Ein neuer Stern am Himmel über Düsseldorf. Im Jae kocht und serviert der Chef noch selbst, unterstützt von einem kleinem Team. Mehr möchte ich nicht verraten. Aber eine so ausgewogene und interessante Abstimmung zwischen Schärfe und purem Fleisch- und Fisch- Genuß habe ich so noch nie erlebt. Die Koreanische Interpretation fränzösischer Sternegastronomie perfekt interpretiert. Wir kommen garantiert wieder. Danke liebes Jae-Team für den tollen Abend, macht weiter so👍

Rundum excellent!!! Ein geniales Menu, eine top Weinbegleitung - und das ganze in total charmanter Athmosphäre. Hier gehen wir ganz bald wieder hin. Update 10/2024: zum 4. Mal dort. Und immer wieder einfach nur perfekt lecker und nett. Update 05/2025: immer wieder ein absolut tolles Erlebnis! Uodate 08/2025: Das nächste Mal begeistert! update 02/2026 noch mal besser 😍

Fusionsküche ist hervorragend!!!

Wir waren im März im Jae essen. Von außen scheint das Restaurant erstmal sehr unscheinbar. Als wir es betreten haben, wurden wir herzlich empfangen und fühlten uns direkt pudelwohl. Der Service war überaus freundlich und zuvorkommend! Das absolute Highlight war natürlich das Essen. Die Fusion aus französisch-koreanischen Küche sagte uns zu 100% zu. Jeder Gang war kulinarisch perfekt ausrangiert. Dazu hatten wir sowohl die Wein- als auch die antialkoholische Begleitung. Die liebe Emiko erklärte uns zu jedem Gang, warum das jeweilige Getränk dazu passt. Das war wirklich überragend. Zudem wurden die Gänge nochmal kurz vorgestellt. Zwei Beispiele sind als Bild angefügt (Bild 1: Mandu gefüllt mit Miesmuschel bzw. Pastinake an Misoschaum, Bild 2: karamellisiertes Apfeleis an zweierlei Muskatnuss und Pinienkerncrumble). Ein kleines "Highlight" war die Information, dass das Restaurant erst einen Tag vorher seinen ersten Michelin Stern erhalten hat. Da fühlte sich das ganze nochmal etwas besonderer an. An dieser Stelle heißt es für uns nur noch: Vielen Dank an das gestrige Team für diesen rundum gelungenen Abend! Wir kommen bestimmt wieder.

A fantastic restaurant and highly recommended for a wonderful evening. Last year, a group of five friends and I celebrated Christmas here between Christmas and New Year's and were thrilled. The atmosphere was great, the service was excellent, and they even accommodated our last-minute menu change request due to a pregnancy.

A truly special evening! A lovely, peaceful, and relaxed atmosphere. Wonderful hosts! The menu was fantastic! We'd love to come back.

I felt very comfortable on all levels. The staff was very charming and communicative. The high chairs overlooking the kitchen don't seem to be for everyone. I loved watching the chefs at work while having lively conversations. Everything was very relaxed and not at all pretentious. There are two extra tables for groups of four. Larger groups won't find enough space. There are only about 20 seats anyway. This has a very positive effect on the noise level in the restaurant. That was very pleasant. The food is absolutely fantastic. It's worth it just for the visual aspect. It's like eating little works of art. The Asian-Korean influence adds some very exciting flavors and combinations. You can tell that they cook with a lot of creativity and at least as much joy. The wine pairing was good. The non-alcoholic beverage pairing was even more exciting. We always got to guess what was in the drinks beforehand. That was a lot of fun. I certainly wouldn't have guessed violets on my own. Let those who can afford to make Jaes their favorite restaurant enjoy it. With two people and wine pairings, you can easily spend over 500 euros per evening. On the other hand, it's also wonderful when such high art remains something special. How terrible it would be if something like this became commonplace.

I was there for the first time yesterday and it's instantly become my new favorite restaurant. The food was wonderful, especially the risotto, which I'll remember fondly for a long time. The team is incredibly friendly. And the wine pairing was the best I've had in ages. Thank you so much to the team for a lovely evening. I will definitely be back.

Awesome food and the most attentive and friendly staff!

We enjoyed exceptional cuisine here. The Korean and Asian-inspired dishes, along with a great wine pairing, made us happy. The non-alcoholic accompaniments were also exceptional and fitting. Everything was superb.

"Without words" would be appropriate. But it doesn't help anyone. What an atmosphere...4 hours of perfect cuisine, including service. This oasis of calm, a new, previously unknown variety of flavors. Constant interaction with the staff. No request, no question was too much. We are simply thrilled. The prices are absolutely justified given the high quality of the products. "Invented," prepared, presented, and served with a lot of time, creativity, and love. We wish the entire team only the best.

A thoroughly successful evening. In addition to the excellent and highly recommended food (vegetarian in my case) and the fantastic atmosphere, the exceptional non-alcoholic beverage selection absolutely deserves a mention. I've rarely had such imaginative mocktails. I highly recommend "Emi's non-alcoholic accompaniment" to anyone who enjoys the menu.

If you want to enjoy a special evening with delicious food, great service, and wonderful views, you have to go to Jae. Even ingredients and dishes you wouldn't normally order in a restaurant will win you over with the overall concept! That's what happened to me, and I will definitely go there again. I would especially like to highlight "Emi's" drink pairing. It's absolutely worth it! She puts so much effort into finding the perfect pairings for the food, which not only surprise you but also taste great. Both the wine selection and the non-alcoholic drinks are a feast for the senses! Thank you, Emi! 👏🏻

The JAE Restaurant in Düsseldorf completely captivated me! From the very first moment, you can sense the passion, quality, and attention to detail. The ambiance is stylish yet pleasantly relaxed—you immediately feel at home. The absolute highlight: the live cooking! It's simply fantastic to see how closely you can watch Jörg Wissmann at work. You experience firsthand how each dish is prepared fresh and with the utmost precision. This closeness not only creates trust, but also a very special atmosphere—almost like a personal dinner with a top chef. The dishes are a dream—creative, flavorful, and beautifully presented. I highly recommend JAE to everyone. If you're looking for a unique culinary experience, this is the place for you. I'll definitely be back!

Thank you so much for the excellent birthday dinner! I'm a dessert person, and this one was fantastic. And even though I really don't like asparagus, I really enjoyed the asparagus-flavored ones.

Jae, Düsseldorf » Visited: Aug 2025 » Total score: 4.3/5 – good » My ratings for this gourmet restaurant in detail: ●● Service – 4.6/5 – still very good: ● Hospitality, friendliness, obligingness, etc.: 4.6/5 ● Atmosphere, temper, facilitation, etc.: 4.5/5 ● Comment: In my opinion, the service at Jae was characterized by the remarkably small team of three people, chef included. The otherwise more or less usual separation of kitchen team and service team was hardly noticeable. On the one hand, this led to a feeling of closeness and rooting for the team. On the other hand, I thought that due to the large number of tasks per staff, everything had to be pre-prepared as far as possible and all tasks had to be carried out as efficiently as possible. ●● Food – 4.4/5 – good to very good: ● Flavors (range, depth, composition, harmony/balance, etc.): 4.6/5 ● Level (thoroughness, craftsmanship, originality, exclusivity, variety of impressions, consistency/diversity, etc.): 4.2/5 ● Choices: 4.1/5 ● Comment: I would particularly like to highlight an intermediate course, risotto with prawns, which I found outstanding. However, there were a few points that I didn't like so much: No bread was served with the menu, which I missed several times. Instead, a piece of greasy, toasted brioche (with flavored butter) was served as a “substitute starter”. The brioche tasted exactly the way a piece of brioche happens to taste. I paid the price of a starter for this. I would have expected the last intermediate course with guinea fowl (leg, was very good) to be the first part of a split main course (second part breast, was also very good) or that breast and leg would be incorporated into a single main course. I think this is otherwise common practice and would usually not be counted as a separate intermediate course. ●● Beverages, mainly the wines – 4.8/5 – very good: ● Taste (depth/range, length, complexity, balance, accessibility, elegance, intensity/subtlety, etc.): 4,8/5 ● Level (variety/novelty of impressions, consistency/diversity, exclusivity, etc.): 4,8/5 ● Did the beverages (mainly the wines) match the dishes?: 4,8/5 ● Choices: 4,7/5 ● Comment: I really liked the wines and other beverages and I would highlight a Grüner Veltliner from the Wachau and a Chenin Blanc from South Africa, both of which I found outstanding. But then they serve a lukewarm espresso at the end. ●● Presentation of the food – 4.0/5 – still good: ● Textures and (differences in) temperatures: 4.8/5 ● Colors and decorations: 3.6/5 ● Timing and sequencing as well as sizes of portions: 3.4/5 ● Special effects (positionings, DIY-effects, sculptural or thematic elements, surprises, color and motion effects, fake effects, olfactory effects, fog or smoke effects, etc.): 3.2/5 ● Procedures at and around the table (attunements and explanations, elements added/changed, service and staffing intensity, involvement of kitchen team, orchestrated dish presentations, preparations and dishes (partially) built up at the table, etc.): 4.4/5 ●● Presentation of beverages, mainly the wines – 4,8/5 – very good: ● Procedures at and around the table (explanations and attunements, etc.): 4.9/5 ● Quantities poured as well as timing in relation to the dishes: 4.7/5 ●● Premises and location – 3.9/5 – satisfactory to good: ● Accessibility, surroundings and - as applicable - the view: 4.3/5 ● How did I like the room or - as applicable - outdoor area’s style, decor and atmosphere?: 4.6/5 ● Well-being (space, privacy, temperature, ventilation/odors, lighting, soundscape, sanitary facilities, etc.): 3.3/5 ●● Price – 3.6/5 – satisfactory: ● Price-performance ratio for food: 2.7/5 ● Price-performance ratio for wines and other beverages: 4.5/5 ● Price transparency and correspondence of the expected to the actual price (simple, complete and unambiguous price information on the restaurant's website and in the menu, etc.): 4.0/5 1|131|75

Last Saturday, my husband and I were privileged to enjoy a first-class culinary experience at the Düsseldorf restaurant Jae. Under the direction of Mr. Jörg Wissmann, every plate was a small masterpiece. The dishes were a visual and gustatory firework – every component perfectly balanced, every detail prepared with dedication. It was as if experiencing flavors in their purest form – a true feast for the senses. It's all the more astonishing that this restaurant has "only" been awarded one star so far – in my opinion, Mr. Wissmann definitely deserves three! The passion with which he and his team cook, serve, prepare espressos, and even keep the kitchen spotlessly clean right in front of the guests is simply impressive. Jae is much more than a restaurant – it's a place of true culinary art. An unforgettable evening – thank you for that.

Am vergangenen Samstag durfte ich mit meinem Mann im Düsseldorfer Restaurant Jae ein kulinarisches Erlebnis der Extraklasse genießen. Unter der Leitung von Herrn Jörg Wissmann wurde jeder Teller zu einem kleinen Meisterwerk. Die Speisen waren geschmacklich wie visuell ein Feuerwerk – jede Komponente perfekt abgestimmt, jedes Detail mit Hingabe zubereitet. Es war, als würde man Aromen in ihrer reinsten Form erleben – ein echtes Fest für die Sinne. Umso erstaunlicher ist es, dass dieses Restaurant bisher „nur“ mit einem Stern ausgezeichnet wurde – aus meiner Sicht verdient Herr Wissmann definitiv drei! Die Leidenschaft, mit der er gemeinsam mit seinem Team direkt vor den Augen der Gäste kocht, serviert, Espressi zubereitet und selbst die Küche makellos sauber hält, ist schlicht beeindruckend. Das Jae ist weit mehr als ein Restaurant – es ist ein Ort echter Kochkunst. Ein unvergesslicher Abend – danke dafür.

Outstanding! We've visited many fine dining restaurants (1 and 2 stars). The experience at Jae was an absolute highlight in this comparison, too! The location appears unassuming from the outside – to put it neutrally. The restaurant consists of a small, elongated dining room that also houses the kitchen, surrounded by a large bar/counter where about half of the maximum of 20 guests sit. Even the separate seating is at high tables. The high chairs are very comfortable. The interior of the restaurant is simple, but looks a bit more chic in person than in the photos. We felt very comfortable, which is also helped by the relaxing background music. What's truly unique: You can see every step the two chefs take. Everything is prepared right before your eyes and then served and explained by the two chefs themselves. What absolutely fascinated us is the calm and poise of the team. There's hardly any talking; everything is ultra-efficient. Cooking is done on just four burners. The entire kitchen looks absolutely delicious at the end of the long menu! The entire team consists of just the two chefs and a woman who takes care of wine and service. All three are very personable and took the time to answer questions. About the menu: We had the meat and fish menu (there is a vegetarian alternative). It started with four (very elaborate!) "little dishes": scallop, asparagus, king crab, and short rib. What was immediately noticeable here became even more apparent later: the outstanding variety of flavors and their balance! Every course is a blast of umami, acidity, and spiciness, in perfect balance – and all with a wow factor. It continues with homemade brioche and divine shiitake butter. This is followed by four courses of meat and fish. We particularly enjoyed the Korean risotto with Obsiblue shrimp. An absolute explosion of flavor! Each course offers a combination of more classic European cuisine (St. Pierre, guinea fowl, etc.), Asian flavors, and/or Korean specialties. The cuisine doesn't let up even with the dessert and petits fours. The same applies to the wine pairings in six glasses, with five white and one red. If I could make a tiny suggestion, I would change the wine selection for the kefir dessert. The Grüner Veltliner Auslese served was a bit too sweet for us. Perhaps a medium-dry Riesling Kabinett would be more suitable here. All in all: a perfect evening with exceptionally good Michelin-starred cuisine.

Now I understand why it's sometimes so difficult to get a seat in a restaurant. Perfect craftsmanship with French influences. Perfectly blended with Korean/Asian inspiration. It was an incredibly original and inspiring experience. A must-try. I would never have imagined what a fantastic main course you could conjure up from a guinea fowl breast. The star is definitely deserved.

It was an absolute highlight! And really a special concept

I would have liked to report on a culinary experience at this point. Instead, my visit to the JAE in Düsseldorf left a bitter aftertaste - and not because of the food or drinks, but because of the deeply unpleasant treatment of guests, which was disturbing on several levels. After a relaxing evening with friends - including lawyers, entrepreneurs and executives - we were looking for a stylish location for a last drink. JAE seemed to fit the bill with its high-quality furnishings and well-curated drinks menu. What followed was all the more irritating. After entering the restaurant we were told in a very clearly negative tone that there was no wine. This happened while we were surrounded by wine and champagne bottles visibly displayed - an absurd claim that no one can seriously believe. The message was clear: our presence was unwelcome. Why? Because we didn't show up in expensive suits? Because we weren’t part of the “regular audience”? Because – despite our polite demeanor – they didn’t trust us to fit into the picture? The attempt to subtly but clearly force us out of the restaurant was as obvious as it was shameful. Hospitality? None. The fact that such behavior is tolerated – or worse, practiced – in a restaurant that sees itself as ambitious raises fundamental questions. About values. About attitude. About authenticity. And about the criteria by which people apparently hope to secure the favor of certain restaurant guides. Because one thing is clear: consistent discrimination based on appearance or supposed affiliation is not something that can be reconciled with the principles of the Michelin Guide or other renowned rating institutions. This isn't about choosing clothes. It's about attitude. And it was – with all due respect – underground. I have eaten in many countries around the world, in star restaurants and small family businesses. However, I have never been treated so subtly, like a second-class guest. One thing is clear to me: anyone who makes guests feel unwanted - for purely superficial reasons - has no place in fine dining.

There's an update below! We were here last weekend and had an indescribably great evening: great service, exorbitant menu, host concentrated in the preparation, but absolutely friendly in communication. Best work organization. Fascinating wine accompaniment. A really wonderful experience and five stars are far too little here! Since the menu changes about every two months, we will be coming here more often! Certainly! Update: We actually visited jae again. I was a little skeptical because I thought that the first visit couldn't be topped and that my expectations were perhaps too high... Complete nonsense! Jörg Wissmann and his wonderful team completely amazed us this time too. This creativity in the combination of the components, the calm and honest hospitality, the relaxed atmosphere, the absolutely professional preparation and the absolutely appropriate wine accompaniment gave us another wonderful culinary evening! A big thank you to Jörg Wissmann and his team 👍

In my opinion the best restaurant in Düsseldorf, not only is every menu always outstanding, but also the service! The wine accompaniment should not be neglected, but there is also an excellent non-alcoholic accompaniment for abstainers that is perfectly matched to the respective courses.

A culinary journey to 5 stars. Extremely interesting. Korea mix with everything possible. Hard to describe. The boss and his competent crew simply explain everything. Something about eating with best friends. And, despite sometimes small portions...you get really full. The whole thing has its price... with wine €250 per person. But none of us regretted it. A super nice evening....and....a star restaurant where you can take your good dog....service! There is a parking garage directly nearby. So that's no problem either. We will come back! Be sure to reserve....long term.....small and always fully booked! That speaks for itself!

Very relaxed! The food is simply delicious. The Jae Restaurant is highly recommended and I am already looking forward to my next visit

Every time an incredible, aromatic taste experience with a great and extraordinary wine accompaniment. The non-alcoholic accompaniment is also excellent and is in no way inferior to the wine accompaniment. Jörg, Emiko and the entire team are very warm hosts, you feel completely at home.

Best restaurant in Dusseldorf. Intimate and quiet atmosphere, intricate dishes, the non alcoholic pairing (homemade juices is a must try)!

If you love what you do, it will be good - in this case, exceptionally good. You can see and taste the dedication with which everything is created here in every moment. It's great fun - especially since the counter concept puts you right in the middle of the action. The menu is extremely creative and varied, there were a lot of incredibly delicious and surprising moments for us, including the non-alcoholic drink accompaniment, which harmonized perfectly with the food. Thank you very much for that, dear JAE team <3

We had a wonderful evening at Jae. The atmosphere is like the menu - welcoming and full of warmth. Rarely have we experienced such incredible aromas in such a relaxed and calm environment. It never gets boring here. To the connoisseur of Southeast Asian tastes, a lot of things here will seem familiar, but every dish surprises with exciting and delicious combinations. South Korea meets kale and turnip - incredibly good.

Delicious Incredibly exciting menu: smell & taste very great Highly recommend the accompaniment (wine) or the very, very creative and suitable drinks: including your own cola Great Service super nice and charming. Great atmosphere: very small but fine restaurant: we'll be back!

Update: Our 4th visit in 2025. Constantly evolving with great flavors. Maximum coherence filled with umami. There is also an outstanding wine accompaniment, some of which are aged treasures. What an experience. Great cuisine with Korean influences paired with a great ambience and very personal service. All the girls and boys are really giving it their all here. Textures, aromas and acidity/sweetness were just right, as was the great wine list. Soon to be repeated!! Düsseldorf at its best.

Jörg Wissmann and his team are perfect hosts. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant and the menu was an amazing journey from Europe to Asia. Perfectly coordinated delight. I could write a lot more now, but I recommend testing it yourself. This experience is worth every penny.

We had a fantastic evening. The restaurant is small, incredibly welcoming, with a charming open kitchen that creates a warm and personal atmosphere. The service was absolutely excellent – ​​attentive, friendly and very competent. What was particularly impressive was that there were only three of the sous chef, the chef and the sommelière working in the restaurant and yet they still took the time to explain each course and each wine in detail. Your passion and knowledge were clearly noticeable, and we had interesting conversations with you that made the evening even more special. The wine pairing was perfectly matched and the dishes were an absolute highlight – creative, sophisticated and full of flavor. A wonderful culinary experience that we can recommend to anyone looking for something special in Düsseldorf. We'll definitely be back!

We booked at very short notice and had a very nice and, above all, incredibly tasty and very interesting evening! We had booked the non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment and found it to be a perfect match for the meal! Next time we will try the wine! The location is also very nice!

Where should I start? The food was fantastic and one of the best things I have ever eaten in a Michelin-starred restaurant. From the four-part amuse bouche to the petit fours, one taste highlight followed the next. The wine pairing was excellent and went very well with each individual course. The service was also great: friendly, courteous, communicative and not stiff, as you can find in other restaurants in this category. We felt very comfortable and had a great evening. We will definitely come back!

If you like Korean food, Jae is the place for you. We had a very nice evening and the service and chef are very friendly. Because you sit right next to the open kitchen, you can find out a lot about the menu and the preparation. We felt we were in good hands, the menu was really extremely good and we would be happy to come back.

Top. We'll be back! Surprising combinations. Great team

Ein wirklich großartiges Restaurant. Wir saßen an der Theke und waren begeistert von Essen und Service. Hocharomatische Kreationen, tolle Weine und eine hervorragende Sommelière, die wir schon aus dem Le Flair und dem Agatha‘s kannten.

I'm at a loss for words here. After being reminded of the reservation for days by email (which is extremely annoying), we set off so that we could be at the restaurant on time at the reserved time, despite the long journey and the sudden onset of winter. At first we had a hard time finding it and the outside didn't seem very inviting with its curtained windows. Our reservation was for 7 p.m. - at 6:58 p.m. we found the front door locked - in the freezing cold! Well, great! After it opened shortly after 7 p.m., we discovered that there were only a few high chairs where you could sit next to each other at a counter - with a view of the open kitchen. As a guest, I would like to know something like this beforehand. Firstly, there are people with knee problems, like me, who cannot sit on such a chair for hours and secondly, I want to enjoy the evening with my companion, have a conversation without everyone overhearing and I don't want to watch the kitchen crew, but just one enjoy a nice evening. Above all, I want to be respected as a guest - I wasn't given that feeling here. That's why we went again. It's a shame about the long journey, the search for a parking space and the spoiled evening.

With pleasant lounge music, we were able to watch Jörg Wissmann prepare the delicious dishes from the counter. The dishes are served with almost meditative calm and without many words. The Japanese sommelier Emiko Fukuzawa recommended excellent wines to go with it and explained the background to the world of aromas. For us a successful evening with the best food.

“Become who you are” is how you can describe the career of Jörg Wissmann, who has been opening his own restaurant here for two years now. To be so wonderfully free and creative shows great skill. For us the best restaurant in Düsseldorf because it is almost like private dining. Emiko complements the wonderful menu with her wine selection, which always surprises positively. The quality of the Korean-French cuisine and the personal atmosphere make every visit something extraordinary - thank you very much!

We spent a great evening with Mr. Wissmann and his team. New taste experiences from course to course, a beautiful, puristic ambience and, for me, a personal highlight: the curated non-alcoholic beverage accompaniment. Never experienced anything like this before!

Moin Folks, hier war es Trompetengalaktisch geil, sämtliche Sinne wurden verzaubert, die Erklärungen zu den Speisen👏👏👏👏👏 Das Menü mit Weinbegleitung 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Die charmante Freundlichkeit schon beim herein treten🙏👏🙏👏🙏👏🙏 Das Restaurant ist überschaubar klein, was sehr geschickt ist, weniger Personal, was uns durch mehr Aufmerksamkeit zu gute kommt. Wir waren wie im Himmel, auf Wolke 7 gebetet und Herr Jörg Wissmann ist schon ein begnadeter Gastgeber🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 Für mich ein klarer Fall von zwei Sternen und es wird stattfinden. Geilogalaktisch und wir erscheinen wieder, sehr sicher.

I was having dinner with my girlfriend on a special occasion. The menu was really, really tasty and varied and tickled many taste buds. The environment was also very comfortable and familiar, with close communication with the kitchen staff and the chef. Recommendation !

Ich kann mich dem Hype nicht ganz anschließen. Ambiente ist nicht sehr bequem, man sitzt etwas hart und hoch und für drei Stunden unbequem bei etwas zu lauter Asia Lounge Musik. Menüfolge ist immer gleich und damit ein wenig einseitig. Getränke sind sehr teuer. Speisen sind ebenfalls teuer so dass in Summe doch einiges zusammenkommt. Es fehlt Dramaturgie und Erlebnis - das Jae ist super für Fans südkoreanischer Geschmäcker und eignet sich zum Fachsimpeln über Gourmetessen. Es gibt schon viele originelle Geschmäcker und qualitativ exzellente Speisen aber Ambiente, Service, Vielfalt etc. müssen besser werden um den Anspruch zu rechtfertigen. Geheimtipp? Nein…

Great taste experiences and extraordinary location. Everything is right here. A very nice evening is guaranteed. Pleasant communication with the sommelier, the chef and Mr. Wissmann despite ongoing operations.

What a fantastic evening we had, thank you very much, Mr Wissmann! And thanks also to the charming service. My tip for future visitors: bring a straw for the sauces. And listen carefully to the order recommended for the petit fours. I wish the readers an experience that is at least as great and I wish I had fresh milk instead of long-life milk for the cappuchino. Yes, you have to dig that deep if you want to find room for improvement. If anyone is worried whether the breath of Asia will condense unpleasantly: no. A far-sighted expansion of the taste horizon. - a new fan. Thank you. P.S. the wine list is remarkable. There's a little Condrieu in Moselle's Falkenlay? - which also exists, greetings to Agatha's.

My wife invited me to dinner for my birthday and we really had an excellent evening! From the outside, the restaurant appears (probably intentionally) inconspicuous. But as soon as you enter, you find yourself in a tidy and stylish ambience, dominated by a long bar that we can warmly recommend. Here the interaction with the sommelier and the chefs is particularly intensive. The food was excellent and the wine pairing also went very well with it. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and would like to thank the entire team. Keep it up and thank you for the lovely evening 😊

Das angebotene Menü ist von Anfang bis Ende eine tolle Geschmacksreise! Jeder Gang für sich ist hervorragend abgestimmt und hat durch die asiatischen Einflüsse total unseren Geschmack getroffen. Das Ambiente ist sehr gemütlich und man verbringt einen schönen Abend in einer kleinen Runde. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Of course, full five stars on Google! But why only one star at Michelin? We enjoyed the vegetarian menu. - Sensational, very complex and intense, umami-rich dishes! You'll even feel full (which isn't always the case in star-rated cuisine). Very nice team with very pleasant and committed owner Wissmann. This wasn't our last visit to Jae! - Thank you!

A really wonderful restaurant. Very excellent dishes. Everything tastes really, really good. A really great combination of Asian influences and very good cuisine. A really very nice restaurant that greatly enriches the Düsseldorf star cuisine. The brilliant wine accompaniment should also be highlighted. There are very exceptional wines to pair with your meal. I would like to highlight the unfiltered rice wine or a sherry with the main course, which really went well with it. Highly recommended.

Great evening in a very relaxed atmosphere

Pünktlich um 19 Uhr öffnete sich die Tür. Es stand die Frage im Raum, was erwartet uns? Einige Stunden später waren wir einfach beseelt. Die Küche von Herrn Wissmann findet in Düsseldorf nicht seinesgleichen und im Besonderen auch nicht die Art des persönlichen Engagements. Die Menu-Auswahl war kreativ, handwerklich perfekt, neu & spannend im Geschmack durch den Einfluss der koreanischen Küche, wunderschön angerichtet & liebevoll serviert. Das gesamte Team ist sich bewusst über diese gebotene Qualität, die außergewöhnlich ist, dabei bleibt es entspannt und fern davon überheblich zu sein. Es sei natürlich auch erwähnt, dass der Service & die Weinbegleitung dem Anspruch gerecht wird. Schön ist hier das Gefühl von „Fühl Dich wohl“, das sich schnell bei uns einstellt. Ich wünsche dem Team weiterhin viel Erfolg. Für Freunde des absolut Besonderen ist das Jae ein hervorragender Ort, um zu genießen. Mit freundlichen Grüßen & mit viel Vorfreude aufs nächste „Mahl“. Georg Heimanns

Das war ein Feuerwerk an Gaumenfreuden. Sparsam und achtsam eingesetzte Aromen machten den Abend zu einem sehr schönen Erlebnis. Gottseidank ohne Beilagen serviert so das man alles genießen konnte bis zum süßen Ende. Dazu eine Weinreise die außergewöhnlich war, mutig zusammengestellt , Sake , Sherry , Rot-und Weißwein von einer sehr kundigen Japanerin serviert welche die Freundlichkeit in Person war. Wiederholungsfaktor 100%.

That was a firework of culinary delights. Flavors used sparingly and carefully made the evening a very pleasant experience. Thankfully it was served without any side dishes so you could enjoy everything until the sweet ending. In addition, a wine trip that was extraordinary, courageously put together, sake, sherry, red and white wine served by a very knowledgeable Japanese woman who was friendliness personified. Repeat factor 100%.

An all-round perfect evening, thank you very much! Edit: After a few visits now, I can only say: the best gastronomic experience I have ever had. Outstanding wine pairing and perfect menu.

Ein perfekter Abend… - in unserem persönlichen Sternelokal-Ranking ist Jörg Wissmann & Team bereits nach dem ersten Besuch ganz ganz weit oben!

Fantastic food and service. We had an amazing evening!

Jae Restaurant is simply fantastic! Excellent food, first class service and a great atmosphere. Highly Recommended!

The vegetarian menu is outstanding. The wine list is comprehensive and very well put together. I haven't eaten so well in a long time. The service was friendly, the sommelier was very good at giving advice. Great wines! The restaurant offers 8 seats at high tables as well as a large number of seats at the long bar with a direct view of the kitchen.

As a Korean, I love to patronize the restaurants with Korean influence, whether the chef is Korean or cuisine that they serve is influenced with Korean flavor. The dishes were well prepared with Korean sauces like Gochujang, Ssamhjang, and even Doenjang. Fermented Korean sauces can be overpowering the rest of the ingrients when fused with French technique. But the chef pulled off perfectly, offering the taste of heaven. That is heaven for foodie like me.

More than just recommended. The food, service and ambience are more than harmonious and a special experience

That was just WOW!!! The star was rightly there! Five stars plus from me for an indescribably delicious and chilled evening! Thanks to Jörg Wissmann and his team

Am Wochenende ist es inzwischen unmöglich einen Platz zu bekommen. In der Woche ist das mit etwas Vorlauf noch möglich. In der Sterneküche gibt es oft im Menü ein bis zwei Highlights. Hier war jedes einzelne Gericht einen Stern wert. Ein großartiger Abend.

The food in the JAE restaurant is phenomenal - creative, artistic and fantastically cooked. Just great! Probably the best food in Düsseldorf!

Jörg Wissmann and his fantastic team made our first fine dining experience very enjoyable. You feel very comfortable and welcome. The drink selection is a dream.

Ich hatte das Vergnügen am Gründonnerstag bei Jörg und seinen Team zu sein nachdem man endlich den ersten Stern bekommen hat (Glückwunsch) Ich mag den Laden und das neue Menü war einfach ein Gedicht. Hier bleibe ich mal dabei Bilder sagen mehr als Worte.

A really special restaurant... We have now tried 2 different menus and both were fantastic. The ambience is chic but elegant and the service is really attentive We will be happy to come back 👍🏻🌟

I had my first haute cuisine experience at Jae and had a wonderful evening with my mother thanks to Mr. Wissmann and his team. The vegetarian courses were well thought out and prepared with attention to detail, tasty little things and full of surprises. My favorites were the tofu creation to start the evening, as well as the rice-based ice cream with ginger and seaweed - it was finely balanced and a delight. My special thanks also go to the sommelier, who planned lemonades and juices to match the menu. I almost felt a little sorry for the guests who chose the wine accompaniment and therefore didn't get to enjoy these exclusively prepared drinks. Various creations made from ginger, matcha or chai were served in combination with surprising flavors from yuzu, apple, mustard or spices and herbs. It was a pleasure to taste these and guess which components were put together here. I can fully recommend the restaurant - an enrichment for the gastronomy in Düsseldorf!

Leider geschmacklich durchschnittlich. Keine frischen Zutaten und inkompetenter Service . Besteck was auf den Boden viel wurde ohne Reinigung wieder aufgetischt.

I love Jae because the meat-free menu is not, as is often the case, just the normal menu minus meat, but simply really good and well thought out. The service is attentive but not intrusive and the wine pairing has always been exciting. If you want to treat yourself to something special, this is the right place for you.

Hello, yes, last night we finally went to this small, very modern restaurant, the welcome was warm, we immediately felt at home. Our place at the high counter with a view of the preparation and completion of the individual dishes is simply great. Chef Jörg Wissmann welcomed us, asked what we wanted, we were very excited and wanted to be surprised, then we were pampered and enchanted for 3 hours with a 7-course menu, always accompanied by the right wine, simply great, I could go on and on Fill pages, but just get involved in an evening like this, you won't forget it. Thanks again to the whole team and our family for the incredibly beautiful Christmas present. We look forward to seeing you again Doris and Manfred

Jae Restaurant ist ein rundum perfekter Laden. Essen, Team, Einrichtung, einfach harmonisch aufeinander ab und eingestimmt. Wir haben unseren Abend sehr genossen und die Weinbegleitung war wirklich außergewöhnlich fein. Wer einen Platz bekommt, kann sich glücklich schätzen.

Eine absolute Empfehlung! Hervorrandes Essen: kreativ, köstlich, wunderschön präsentiert. Es gibt zwei Menüs - eins mit Fleisch/Fisch, eines vegetarisch - beide sind absolut fantastisch (mein Mann hatte das eine, ich das andere). Auch die Getränkeauswahl ist herausragend! Das Team um Jörg Wissmann kümmert sich auf eine sehr natürliche, sehr sympathische Art um die Gäste und ist dabei absolut professionell und aufmerksam. Die meisten Sitzplätze sind am Tresen mit Blick in die Küche, sodass man beim Entstehen bzw. der Vollendung der köstlichen Kunstwerke zusehen kann. Dies trägt sicherlich ebenso wie der persönliche Service dazu bei, dass man Fine Dining ohne jede Steifheit erleben kann. Herzlichen Dank für diesen wunderschönen Abend!

Ist das diese besagte Glückseligkeit, welche sich bei einem guten Essen einstellt? Ich glaube ja. Was Jörg Wissmann und sein Team hier auf die Beine gestellt haben, dürfte noch für ordentlich Furore sorgen. Perfektion meets Gastfreundschaft. Der warme und herzliche Empfang zog sich durch den gesamten Abend. Sitzen wir hier wirklich schon 4 Stunden und essen? Wo ist die Zeit geblieben? Wie kann es in einem Restaurant mit einer Theke so ruhig und harmonisch sein? Wieso hatten wir zu keiner Zeit ein Gefühl von Aufdringlichkeit? Der gesamte Abend war schlichtweg perfekt. Wo ist der viel beschriebene Stress, welchen man sonst gerne mal wahrnimmt? Wir fühlten uns heimlich und gut aufgehoben. Das Essen war eine Offenbarung. Bei jedem Gang wurde in einer angenehmen Ruhe erläutert, was sich wieder an Überraschung auf dem Teller versteckt. Die Weinempfehlungen von Emi waren so harmonisch, dass es einfach eine Freude war. Wir möchten uns an dieser Stelle für einen wundervollen Abend bei Freunden bedanken und wissen, dass der Stern eigentlich nur noch reine Formsache sein kann. Ihr seid großartig. Danke

Ein absolutes Geschmackserlebnis. Jeder Gang ein Genuss! Service und Atmosphäre 1A. Dafür fährt man gerne 300km. Vielen Dank für den wunderschönen Abend.

Ich habe zuvor nie ein Restaurant bewertet. Nun fühle ich mich durch das gestrige, unvergleichliche, überaus positive und unbeschreibliche Erlebnis im Hinblick auf Geschmack und Gastfreundschaft dazu getrieben. Ich bin kein passionierter Gourmet und hätte mich wohl ohne die Empfehlung meines Freundes nicht zu einem Abendessen in dieser Preisklasse überzeugen lassen. Rückblickend kann ich nur festellen: Ich bin froh, dass ich diesen Abend im Jae-Restaurant miterleben konnte und dass alles definitiv seinen Preis wert war. Ich werde meinen Kindern einen Besuch bei Jörg Wissman auf die Bucket-Liste schreiben (vielleicht nehmen sie mich dann auch nochmal mit).

Großartiges Essen kombiniert mit einem super freundlichen & unkomplizierten Service, dazu perfekt abgestimmte Weine, alles in einem stylischen Ambiente - es war ein wunderschöner Abend. Für mich persönlich momentan das interessanteste & spannendste Konzept der Stadt.

Uniek restaurant wat zeker een verborgen pareltje is. Een heerlijke relaxte sfeer en zeer hartelijk personeel maken al snel dat je geniet van een gezellige avond. Geïnspireerd door verschillende Aziatische keukens hebben we genoten van alle gerechten.

Heerlijk genoten van geweldige gerechten! De gerechten waren stuk voor stuk uniek, zowel in smaak als presentatie. De sommelier heeft ons bijzonder wijnen laten ervaren, die perfect combineerden met alle gerechten. Zelfs de alcoholvrije opties zijn zeer uniek en zelf ontwikkeld. Alles werd gepresenteerd door stralend personeel. In dit restaurant ontmoet je iedereen, van chef tot bediening. Geweldige ervaring en is een echte aanrader!

Fantastic food and staff! Great combi of food / wine and hospitality. Chef Jörg is a wizzard in the kitchen.

Sehr gutes Essen, sehr guter Service!

Fabelhaftes Essen, Geschmacksexplosion auf dem Teller. Jedes einzelne Gericht ist wahnsinnig gut abgeschmeckt und der koreanische Einfluss auf die Speisen sensationell. Dazu der sympathische und sehr gute Service, mit tollen Weinempfehlungen. Hier ist jemand in großen Schritten auf dem Weg zum Stern.

We had a wonderful meal at Jae for our anniversary. Every dish was beautifully executed in technique and presentation, but what impressed us most was the humble hum of Korean flavours throughout the whole journey. Having grown up with these flavours, it served familiarity with a twist in the way Chef Jörg paid homage to both his Korean and European roots. We only had high praise for the depth of the sauces in each dish. Service was lovely and ambience was cosy. The restaurant has limited seating with purpose, so make sure to make a reservation early! Thanks again to Chef Jörg and his team!

Ein wunderbares Restaurant mit exzellenten Essen und herausragenden Gastgebern. Vielen Dank für einen gelungenen Abend.

Wir waren mit 7 Personen da und hatten einen rundum gelungenen Abend. Jeder Gang hat überzeugt. Vom Appetizer Räucheraal mit Papaya über den Black Cod bis zur Ente wurden hervorragende Geschmackskombinationen auf den Teller gebracht, die mit tollen Weinen gepaart wurden, so dass der Abend seinen Preis wert war. Selbst bzw. auch die alkoholfreie Getränkebegleitung hat begeistert.

Wenn Du exquisit essen möchtest... geh hin. Wenn du erlesenen Wein trinken möchtest...geh hin. Wenn du das Beste vom Besten genießen möchtest...geh hin. Wenn du den Abend erlebt hast,dann gehst du bald wieder hin.

Gesamterlebnis passt hier. Urbane Location, tolle Küche, Nähe zwischen Gästen, Service und Köchen. Klare Empfehlung für besondere Abende

Absolut super. Selten gegessen, was so gut und mit soviel Raffinesse zubereitet wurde. Schon hochpreisig, allerdings auch jeden Cent wert
