About
Tucked inside a characterful villa on the outskirts of Enschede, Joann is a restaurant where luxury never tips into coldness. The setting is elegant and unhurried, and the warmth of the welcome is every bit as carefully considered as what arrives on the plate.
In the open kitchen, chef Emiel Kwekkeboom and sous-chef Leon Spijkerman pursue a creative cuisine that has earned Joann a Michelin star, a Gault&Millau score of 15.5/20, two We're Smart Radishes, and a place in the 2026 Lekker Top 500. A near-perfect Google rating of 4.9 across 320 reviews confirms that this level of quality resonates well beyond the world of critics.
Front of house, maître Femke Gröniger and host Mandy Kwekkeboom set the tone for a style of hospitality that was recognised with the 2025 Gastvrouw van het Jaar award. Completing the picture, sommelier René Dommerholt curates a wine programme featuring more than twenty wines by the glass, turning every visit into a complete sensory journey.
