"Chef Jürgen Kettner and his associate, Wiebke Meier, call their concept "New Austrian": Austrian tradition meets modern style in both the trendy, cosy setting and the food. With some originality, the Styrian-born chef uses excellent ingredients to create his own take on dishes from his homeland, which includes a smattering of Asian influences. There is a set menu with four or six courses as well as an additional pub menu with classics such asBackhendl(breaded fried chicken) orKaiserschmarrn(shredded pancakes). The short wine list includes a variety of organic labels and options by the glass. Tip: The shop sells Styrian delicacies." - Michelin Inspector

This restaurant is located in the Essen Werner district, directly on the Ruhr River dedicated to Austrian cuisine and offers fine dining in a cozy yet elegant setting. We were surprised with three delicious amuse-bouches, which were both visually and tastefully impressive and perfectly prepared us for the upcoming menu. Kaiserschmarrn sweet pancakes – a must-try that brought the evening to a sweet and satisfying end. Excellent dishes, great service, and a very friendly atmosphere. The price/performance ratio was excellent!

My husband and I celebrated our anniversary here last week and had a fantastic experience. The staff were incredibly friendly, and the 6-course menu was a delight from start to finish. Each plate was uniquely presented, beautifully garnished, and packed with flavor. I highly recommend this spot for anyone looking to celebrate a special occasion.

Ignorant American here, rather then try and figure out the menus we ordered the 4 course meal with whatever the chef recommended. Absolutely no regrets, what a great experience!

Tucked into a quiet side street, doesn’t announce itself loudly—but it doesn’t need to. This Michelin-starred gem draws you in with an almost magnetic warmth. Stepping through its doors feels less like entering a restaurant and more like being invited into someone’s thoughtfully curated living room. Wooden beams, amber lighting, and rustic Austrian accents—like antique skis, hand-painted ceramics, and alpine landscape prints create a cozy refuge from the world outside, while the hum of quiet conversation and the gentle clink of glasses add to its intimate charm. But it is the food, not just the setting, that makes Kettner’s Kamota unforgettable. The cuisine is a confident and inventive fusion: Austrian and Mediterranean foundations layered with precise, poetic notes of Japanese influence. It is fusion not for novelty’s sake, but as a natural expression of the chef’s sensibility—rooted, yet borderless! M. T.

This place offers a nice modern version of classic mostly Austrian dishes with a Japanese touch. Well worth a visit or two.

Das Kettner‘s Kamota hat uns vollständig begeistert. Die absolut kreativen Kombinationen und die perfekte Zubereitung suchen ihresgleichen und machen aus östereichischen Klassikern Spitzenküche. Dazu gibt es hervorragende Weine und entsprechenden Service. Großartig! Chef und Service bleiben dabei angenehm nahbar und bodenständig. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Hallo zusammen, Wir waren vor wenigen Wochen da. Der Empfang war sehr freundlich, wirklich herzlich. Das Essen war eigentlich eine 4,5 , aber halbe Sterne gehen leider nicht. Das Essen war teilweise etwas unausgewogen und auch die Saftbegleitung passt nicht optimal zu den Gängen. Die Anregungen wurden jedoch sehr gut aufgenommen. Die Qualität der Speisen ist wirklich sehr gut, die Krabbe war fantastisch und auch die Grüße aus der Küche waren phänomenal. Gegen Ende des Abends dauerte alles sehr viel länger, das wunderte uns zwar, aber war in Ordnung. Alles in allem fanden wir das Essen und den Service besser als in einigen vergleichbaren Restaurants. Wir konnten in Ruhe essen, ohne aufdringlichen Service und ohne Druck oder Eile. Danke für den schönen Abend. Wir würden auf alle Fälle wiederkommen.
