The story
Wonka, at Johannisstraße 38 in Nürnberg, is a fusion restaurant that earned one Michelin star in 2026. Christian Wonka leads the kitchen, which has worked in its Asian-inflected style for more than twenty years.
Christian Wonka pairs Franconian produce with Asian seasoning. The Feinschmecker guide, which awarded the restaurant 3 in 2026, cites marinated kohlrabi with potato-miso filling and wasabi mayonnaise as an example. A venison dish with lotus root and tamarind is among the kitchen's signature plates.
The lunch menu changes with the season. Recent listings included trout with potato and lentils, venison with green asparagus and almond, and cherry with lemongrass and panna cotta. A four-course menu is priced at 82.50 €, a three-course at 67.50 €, and wine pairing at 48 €. A vegan lunch menu runs alongside the standard one.
