Great little restaurant with very good cuisine. The wines are excellent and the service is great. We really enjoyed the evening with good friends and would love to come back. I thought for a long time whether I should leave the review so good because I fear I won't get a table in the future. But the restaurant deserves honesty.

Excellent food and wine served the owner-couple.

In short: Formidable!! What the Schnitzler couple conjures up here comes from the heart and is still gastronomy at the highest level! An excellent thick fish soup, excellent rabbit fillet with a great potato mash with a spicy tomato sauce, and the whole thing cooked in a puff pastry coat with cabbage à point rosa (a real culinary masterpiece), excellent wine recommendations - and then, above all, inimitably good poor knights with the finest berry fruit sauce and fresh berries at the end, crowned with an excellent espresso and first-class 20-year-old Rivesaltes, a revelation in a vanilla almond and walnut aroma - plus a really great atmosphere, warm, friendly and personal welcome and support, top service, an outstanding wine and spirits list with many Unknown individual finds and treasures that you don't get anywhere else (Rüdesheimer Kronnest from Wegener - I'm a trained winemaker, my mother and grandparents come from Rüdesheim, and that's where I discovered my love for wine, but this location didn't mean anything to me !) Of course it's a little more expensive, but worth every cent! It's great that such gems still exist!

Small & nice!! We had the surprise menu with great wine accompaniment - the evening was simply perfect with the warm hosts Schnitzler. Romantic and culinary far ahead for us, the three hours flew by! We will be back definitely.

My sister and I went here today to eat ONE dessert and ended up ordering almost the entire dessert menu. We don't regret anything, every single calorie was worth this taste experience. In addition to the incredibly good food, the perfect service must be highlighted, which made the evening an unforgettable experience. Anyone looking for a short break from everyday life will definitely get their money's worth here. The restaurant may be inconspicuous from the outside, but inside it is so lovingly furnished that you feel at home. Anyone who has the chance to be a guest here will have an unforgettable visit to the restaurant (and it is so much more than just that).

Ich hatte im Juli wieder einmal einen wunderschönen Abend in diesem wunderschönen kleinen Restaurant. Wir haben den Geburtstag meines Mannes gefeiert und hatten eine kleine vorbereitete Überraschung. Die Dame des Hauses kocht vorzüglich und der Herr des Hauses ist ein guter Weinkenner und kann das Essen noch ein wenig verzaubern. Vielen herzlichen Dank für den schönen Abend 🥰

(Translated by Google) Small, personal, cozy and delicious. Make reservations and be prepared to spend a little more money for excellent food and service. We'll definitely be back! (Original) Klein, persönlich, gemütlich und köstlich. Man sollte vorreservieren und darauf vorbereitet sein, für ausgezeichnete Küche und exzellenten Service auch entsprechend etwas mehr Geld auszugeben. Wir kommen definitiv wieder!

Small, nice… simply great! PS: And the “Poor Knight” absolutely MUST be!

Birthdays have to be celebrated and the best way to do that is with good food. Sometimes you have to search for a long time, but sometimes you can find little gems through newspaper articles, just like La Petite Cave de Jeannette. In the city that promises a lot from its name (food), the restaurant "La Petite Cave de Jeannette" is somewhat hidden between residential buildings. The small but very fine menu, which changes weekly, does not offer many, but unusual dishes with a lot of French charm, even though you are many, hundreds of kilometers away from France. We were offered a great, individual menu and we didn't have to look long for the right wines. The service was very attentive and we were very well looked after. We would love to come back here!

Excellent food and top service! The perfect place for a romantic dinner, you feel like you are in France. There was no vegetarian main course on the menu, but this wasn't a problem for the boss and she conjured up something very, very good. For us, this insider tip is the best restaurant in Essen.

Down to earth, price performance not met. Eating like mom's, didn't pick us up, no fine cuisine.

(Translated by Google) We spent one of the best culinary evenings in recent times here on a summery Saturday. Had attractive seats outside on the small terrace facing the street, very homely atmosphere where you feel like you're in a French bistro. This also applies to the menu, which, in addition to the basic French tonality, featured some Asian influences on our evening. The host guides you through the evening with great expertise but also - almost in the sense of a conférencier - with just the right pinch of humor. (Original) Wir haben hier an einem sommerlichen Samstag einen der besten kulinarischen Abende der letzten Zeit verbracht. Hatten ansprechende Plätze draußen auf der kleinen Terrasse Richtung Straße, sehr heimelige Atmosphäre bei der man sich in ein französisches Bistro versetzt fühlt. So auch bei der Karte, die neben der französischen Grundtonation an unserem Abend einige asiatische Einflüsse verzeichnete. Der Gastgeber führt mit großer Fachkenntnis aber auch - fast schon im Sinne eines Conférencier - mit genau der richtigen Priese Humor durch den Abend.

We had a wonderful 1st wedding anniversary with you. Everything was wonderful and just delicious! At the end there was even a gift: homemade jam, which we already finished because it was just as delicious as the local food had suggested. Thank you! We would like to come again!

Kleines, feines Restaurant mit liebevoller Betreuung durch den Service. Fühlt sich ein wenig wie in dem eigenen Wohnzimmer. Die Qualität der Speisen ist ganz ausgezeichnet.

Top Wirt - erstklassige Küche! Wachtelbrust und Arme Ritter zum Niederknien. Freue mich schon auf den nächsten Besuch.

(Translated by Google) Great food, lovely, funny, fun and attentive service. We have been so spoiled that coming back is a must! (Original) Herrrrrrliches Essen, liebevoller, witziger, unterhaltsamer und aufmerksamer Service. Wir sind so verwöhnt worden, dass ein Wiederkommen ein Muss ist!

Zweifelsohne ein tolles, familiengeführtes Restaurant mit nettem Service. Jedoch werden die Preise (bei weitem) nicht dem gerecht, was am Ende serviert wurde. (Translated by Google) Undoubtedly a great family run restaurant with lovely service. However, the prices (by far) do not do justice to what was served at the end.

(Translated by Google) Dear Schnitzler family, my wife and I visited you for the first time on Friday and were delighted with your little restaurant. We have seldom eaten so fine and well and drank very delicious wine that was perfectly served to us. All in all, it was a great and successful evening. We'll be back for sure. Best regards, Olivia Werner and Kai Danielzik (Original) Liebe Familie Schnitzler, meine Frau und Ich waren am Freitag zum ersten mal bei Ihnen und waren begeistert von Ihrem kleinen Lokal. Wir haben selten so fein und gut gegessen und dabei sehr köstlichen Wein getrunken, der uns perfekt serviert wurde. Es war rundum ein toller und gelungener Abend. Wir kommen ganz sicher wieder. Beste Grüße Olivia Werner und Kai Danielzik

Mehr oder weniger zufällig sind wir in der kleinen Höhle gelandet. Was für ein wunderbarer Abend!! Das Essen top!! Der Service top!! Das Ambiente top!! Ein sehr netter, zugewandter Gastgeber, seine Frau in der Küche versteht ihr Handwerk excellent. So konnten wir einen herrlichen und kulinarischen Abend verbringen. Wir bedanken uns bei den Gastgebern für die entspannenden Stunden!!
