Jante
A top Hanover restaurant with two Michelin stars; chef Tony Hohlfeld's creative modern cooking is precise and light.
It earned Hanover's first Michelin star in 15 years in 2016 and was upgraded to two stars in 2020. Chef Tony Hohlfeld was then Germany's youngest two-star chef, and the 2025 Michelin Guide still awarded two stars. Located beside Braunschweiger Platz, the restaurant has a semicircular floor-to-ceiling window dining room in Nordic minimalist style, and the chef often comes to the table to explain the dishes. It offers a six-course “Long Story” menu and a four-course “Short Story” menu; vegetarian and vegan versions can be booked, and the wine list is excellent. The tasting menu costs about €200 and reservations are required in advance. About 20 minutes by tram or on foot from Hannover Central Station (Hauptbahnhof).
