Restaurant Jean

What an amazing experience at this lovely, intimate restaurant. My dining partner ordered the gourmet set menu with 5 courses and I ordered the seasonal set menu with 5 courses. Each dish was finally balanced, beautifully plated, and extremely delicious. I also ordered the wine pairing, which included a nice variety of local Rheingau wines. During the summer, the seating is outside on a beautiful patio covered by a canopy of trees. When we were there, the restaurant only seated about 10 tables and the service and quality of food was clearly tailored to that intimate audience. Everyone spoke plenty of English to explain the dishes and the wine to our understanding. Overall, a wonderful experience. Between the food and wine (and aperitif), we spent about €160 each.

We had set menu with wine pairing. From we came to we went, the service was excellent. Did not have to ask for things, it just happened accordingly. The food was excellent, and all dishes were well balanced and just super. Thank you for a great experience

Extraordinary experience, we went there in summer for a special occasion. The decoration the atmosphere was all outstanding. However don't expect an air conditioning system the solution is to sit outside in the shadows of remarkable trees and a lovely terrace. The food was outstanding and the chef also appeared in the end. The wine pairing was very solid and all came from the Rhein region 👌. Highly recommend

This is a Michelin 🌟 restaurant We had the pleasure of experiencing while We were in Germany They offer delicious French cuisine. Very fine dinning offering a gourmet menu. The plating was on point for every dish. Our server spoke eloquently about every dish and the wine accompaniment. Our food was delicious and We also got to met the chef himself.

This place was a true delight. Very friendly staff, fantastic wine list, extremely English friendly, and great food. This place is a true treat.

I've visited many times and it's a favorite peak experience with visiting foodie friends. Seasonal menu. I recommend the tasting menu with wine pairing.

Jean, Eltville » My (last) visit: Dec 2023 » Total score: 4.7/5 – very good » The gourmet restaurant completely fulfilled my very high expectations: Very good food at a constantly high level in an almost exclusively classic style (bar the dessert, which I would describe as modern). I liked all the accompanying wines very much and found two or three of them even outstanding. In my view the price-performance ratio was excellent. ===== My ratings in detail: ●● Service – 4.7/5 – very good: ● Hospitality, friendliness, obligingness, etc.: 4.7/5 ● Atmosphere, temper, facilitation, etc.: 4.7/5 ●● Food – 4.8/5 – very good: ● Flavors (range, depth, composition, harmony/balance, etc.): 4.8/5 ● Level (thoroughness, craftsmanship, originality, exclusivity, variety of impressions, consistency/diversity, etc.): 4.8/5 ● Choices: 4.9/5 ●● 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: 5.0/5 ●● Presentation of the food – 3.9/5 – satisfactory to good: ● Textures and (differences in) temperatures: 3.7/5 ● Colors and decorations: 4.0/5 ● Timing and sequencing as well as sizes of portions: 4.6/5 ● Special effects (positionings, DIY-effects, sculptural or thematic elements, surprises, color and motion effects, fake effects, olfactory effects, fog or smoke effects, etc.): 3.5/5 ● 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.): 3.7/5 ●● Presentation of beverages, mainly the wines – 4.7/5 – very good: ● Procedures at and around the table (explanations and attunements, etc.): 4.5/5 ● Quantities poured as well as timing in relation to the dishes: 5.0/5 ●● Premises and location – 4.4/5 – good to very good: ● Accessibility, surroundings and - as applicable - the view: 4.6/5 ● How did I like the room or - as applicable - outdoor area’s style, decor and atmosphere?: 3.6/5 ● Well-being (space, privacy, temperature, ventilation/odors, lighting, soundscape, sanitary facilities, etc.): 4.7/5 ●● Price – 5.0/5 – excellent: ● Price-performance ratio for food: 4.9/5 ● Price-performance ratio for wines and other beverages: 5.0/5 ● 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.): 5.0/5

Delicious French cuisine. Hospitable pleasant dining experience. It is a pleasant step back into a bygone era of elegant, traditional dining untainted by trendiness. Prices are high, but justified by quality and worthy of a special occasion.

Lovely restaurant in Eltville out of the way from everything. Though small, the experience has a lot of punch from the quality and depth of the offerings. The service and local wine pairings were all done with the customer in mind, and I left feeling like I got the 1-star experience. So glad I finally made it here and tried the tasting menu. Great value all around!
