Natural wine bistro on Weichselstraße since 2016: "Naked Wine & Seasonal Food", guest chefs and a Michelin Guide listing.

Jaja is French slang for simple everyday wine, and it is the name of the bar on Weichselstraße that has been all about natural wine since 2016. Today it is run by Hannes Broecker, who came first as a guest, then as a cook and finally as owner. Broecker trained as an artist and has cooked in Copenhagen, Berlin and at Lode & Stijn.

The wine bar has since become a bistro that stays true to its love of natural wine. The menu is called "Naked Wine & Seasonal Food": unadulterated wines and small seasonal plates, such as cauliflower with egg yolk sauce. Guest chefs regularly take over the kitchen for a few days. The Michelin Guide now lists Jaja too. Open Tuesday to Saturday from 6 pm.
