Französisches Restaurant "Joynes Kitchen" Charlottenburg — Restaurant in Berlin

We visited this restaurant with high expectations due to its great rating and numerous positive reviews. However, overall, the food and portion sizes were disappointing.

We started with oysters. They were fresh, which is expected. Then, we ordered Jakobsmuschel-Tortellini, Hummerbisque, and Blumenkohl. The sauce was well-balanced, but the overall flavor was not particularly impressive. We didn’t experience the depth or complexity of taste we had anticipated—it was rather standard and uninspiring.

For the main course, I chose Tafelspitz. The meat was cooked to the right level, but the flavor was rather average. Additionally, the spinach served on the side had a slightly bitter taste, which negatively affected the overall balance of the dish. I’m not sure whether it was overcooked or if something else caused the bitterness, but it was certainly not what I expected. The fish was also overcooked, which dried out the texture and muted the flavors. In a restaurant like this, I would expect seafood to be cooked with more precision and delicacy.

Another major issue was the portion sizes, which were disappointingly small considering the price point. While presentation is important, a dish should not only look appealing but also provide a satisfying dining experience. Unfortunately, we didn’t get that here.

Overall, the food was not bad, but it certainly did not justify the high price. There was no distinctive touch in terms of flavor, and the portions were far too small to be satisfying. I don’t think this experience was worth more...

Bestes Restaurant seit langem! Best restaurant I've been to for a long, long time... There were four of us and we all took the 6-course- menu. It was a firework for our tastebuds. This chef knows how to cook! Delicious and inspiring. The resto has a calm and cosy atmosphere. Service is kind, calm, attentive and very professional. The timing between the courses was perfect and we enjoyed the wine pairing. About the price: I am from Belgium and for me it was a surprise what value for money it is! Very high quality without ...

Simple and elegant from every angle :) We spent our anniversary evening with my boyfriend here. The atmosphere is very relaxed and warm, the interior reminds me of a french countryside. Every bite of the six course menu made perfect sense, it just felt complete and balanced. What also really made this place for us was the woman taking care of service that night. Thank you to the whole staff for this...
