A voucher brought us to Bonn 's Südstadt district, and we 'd been wanting to try Joligs for a long time anyway. The concept is unique, and we 'd never experienced anything like it before. Instead of choosing from a menu, guests browse the tapas displayed in a glass case and select their appetizer, main course, and dessert. The selection is generally good and varied – and, as I understand it, constantly changing – but unfortunately, it looked a bit unappetizing (perhaps the food has been sitting there for a while), which made us less than enthusiastic about eating. Perhaps this could be improved. The food itself was delicious – we especially enjoyed the scallops. The black aioli was also interesting. And the red wine was truly excellent. Many portions can also be ordered as large portions —a single portion costs around €13 (dips are €6), and large portions are around €20. For two people, we paid approximately €115 without dessert. The service was very friendly (especially the young man) and explained the concept well. Unfortunately, just placing our order took almost an hour (the staff presents each table individually at the display case, detailing the dishes), and until then, we only had drinks. Dips or something similar would have been nice, as we arrived hungry. Overall, we 're torn between a 3- and 4-star rating (of course, also in comparison to other restaurants we know) and decided on this rating because of the wait time, the value for money, and the somewhat impersonal atmosphere. The food is generally delicious, so everyone should definitely try this concept in Bonn 's Südstadt district.

You have to search through a display case to see what you want to eat... but nothing looked appetizing! The salmon was cold and raw. And very expensive.

The concept is unique, and this was the first time we 'd experienced it on this scale. It means that, as a guest, you don 't choose from a menu, but rather you can view the tapas on offer in a display case and choose your starter, main course, and dessert. Generally speaking, a good and varied selection – and, as I understand, always changing – but unfortunately, it was a bit unappetizing to look at (the food might have been sitting there for a while), so you didn 't really feel like eating it. Perhaps there are ways to improve this. The food itself was deliciously prepared – we particularly enjoyed the scallops. The black aioli was also interesting. And the red wine was really very good. Many portions can also be ordered as a large portion a single portion costs around €13 (dips €6), and large portions around €20. For two people, we paid around €115 without dessert. The service was very friendly (especially the young gentleman) and explained the concept well. Unfortunately, just placing the food order took almost an hour (the waiter presents each table with a detailed description of the dishes at the display case), and by then we only had drinks on the table. Dips or something similar would have been nice, as we came hungry. Overall, we 're wavering between a rating of 3 4 stars (of course, also in comparison to other restaurants we 're used to) and decided on this rating because of the waiting time, the value for money, and the somewhat cooler atmosphere. The food is generally delicious, so everyone can definitely try out the concept in Bonn 's Südstadt district.

Cozy atmosphere for those who don't like loud places.
