The story
At June in Übersee, the kitchen is rooted in what grows nearby. The team sources regional and seasonal ingredients, then applies creativity and technique to transform them. They ferment their own shoyu, miso, and garum on site, and on the terrace they cultivate fresh herbs and vegetables. It is cooking driven by sustainability and a deep connection to the land.
The restaurant offers an 8- or 12-course surprise menu. Guests choose between regular, pescetarian, or vegetarian options at the table. No vegan menu is available. The table is booked only once per evening, allowing for a focused, unhurried experience. Reservations open exactly two months in advance.
June’s commitment to high-quality, thoughtful cooking earned it a Michelin star in 2026, a recognition that underscores the precision and care behind every dish. The modern cuisine here is not about flashy trends but about letting the ingredients speak—enhanced by house-made ferments and the quiet creativity of the kitchen.
The atmosphere is intimate, with counter dining that brings guests close to the action and outdoor seating for warmer evenings. Located on Seestraße in Übersee, June is a destination for those who value genuine, regionally-minded gastronomy.
