Jøwåy Nürnberg — Restaurant in Nuremberg

The dinner was a nice dinner, but to be honest for the price of the menu set at 100€ for 5 courses, we had much higher expectations. In all courses we found only 2 of them more original and more sophisticated (the scallops signature and pork chin with passion fruit), the others were composed of very good quality ingredients and we noticed the use of local ingredients, yes, but still not at the level of the price set (casual ratatouille starter priced at 15€?). The presentation of the dishes was sophisticated yes, but what was inside the plates was not matching. In terms of service, the team made great efforts but unfortunately there were a lot of mistakes and confusion (no one came back to us to take our wine order and we got the wine glasses after already eating 2 courses, the bread was not brought at the beginning but only after 3 courses, we got the desserts but with no spoons and the waitress was in the meantime cleaning the tables next to us already starting to prepare the closing instead of looking at us… the team seemed to be quite confused and not communicating between them : we had already paid and were ready to leave and the 2nd waiter brought us the after dessert chocolates again when we already had them 30 min earlier…). The waiting time between the meals was also a little long. Overall, it was a nice evening and dinner, but at the level of a 60€ dinner. For 110€ with a glass of wine, it is way too overpriced and for this reason we would not come back...

The food was good but for its price we honestly had much higher expectations. Out of the 7 courses we had, there were only two courses that stood out to me. However, this place was highly recommended by friends who told us that the menu has changed since the last time they went, so it could be that this season's menu needs a bit of refinement.

Service was generally good but sometimes the formality felt too forced. As regards the atmosphere, I personally felt that the restaurant was too quiet inside (only two full tables and we were the only ones who talked, very quiet...

Vor zwei Jahren war das Joway in Nürnberg noch richtig gut – kreative Küche, frische Produkte, ein Besuch lohnte sich. Leider sind diese Zeiten vorbei.

Im Oktober 2024 waren wir schon einmal dort und damals bitter enttäuscht: Der Koch schien nicht anwesend, der Kellner wärmte offenbar etwas auf und servierte es uns.

Gestern gaben wir dem Lokal – auf Vorschlag von Freunden – eine zweite Chance. Wie beim letzten Mal waren wir die einzigen Gäste. Wir wählten ein Vier-Gänge-Menü: • Vorspeise: Jakobsmuscheln und Lachs. Die Jakobsmuschel war schlicht gekocht und zäh, der Lachs extrem versalzen. Darüber eine Beurre Blanc und ein paar Dekoblätter – optisch bemüht, geschmacklich enttäuschend. • Zweiter Gang: Eine etwa 4 cm lange Lauchstange, ebenfalls in Beurre Blanc, garniert mit etwas Deko. Vollkommen geschmacklos. • Hauptgang: Mein Mann hatte Kalbsbäckchen bestellt, bekam jedoch Fisch. Dieser kam in einer kleinen Sauce mit ein paar Romanesco-Röschen – sagen wir: Schulnote 3. • Dessert: Knuspriger Crunch mit etwas Kompott und Eiscreme. Nichts Besonderes, keine Wucht, nichts, was in Erinnerung bleibt.

Bedienung und Koch waren zwar freundlich, wirkten jedoch ungepflegt und unprofessionell. Die Küchenleistung war stümperhaft. Für dieses enttäuschende Erlebnis wurden uns knapp 500 € für vier Personen berechnet – inklusive einer Flasche Silvaner. Wir können die vielen 5-Sterne-Bewertungen nicht nachvollziehen und werden sicher nicht...
