Local tips
- Book well in advance, especially for weekends, as the restaurant has very few tables and often fills up for entire evenings.
- Plan for a full night out; the multi-course tasting menu is paced over several hours, so avoid tight plans before or after.
- Mention dietary restrictions when reserving so the chef can adjust the tasting sequence where possible.
- Consider adding the wine or juice pairing, which is designed to complement each course and deepen the overall experience.

A Tiny Dining Room with Big Culinary Ambitions
In the heart of Horsens’ Latin Quarter, Ji-Mi’s occupies a modest ground-floor space where just a few tables line a single, cosy room. The kitchen sits close enough that you can sense the rhythm of service, yet the overall mood is calm and unhurried. Soft lighting, simple decor and closely set tables create the feeling of a private salon rather than a busy city restaurant. This is very much a chef-led dining room, designed so that every guest remains within easy reach of the host’s attention. Rather than distracting flourishes, the atmosphere rests on warmth and informality. Conversations drift across the room, glasses clink, and the focus returns again and again to what is happening on the plate. It is a space built for lingering over food, wine and company – a setting where an evening here is an event in itself.Local Ingredients at the Centre of the Plate
Ji-Mi’s philosophy revolves around high-quality Danish ingredients, many sourced from farms and producers in the surrounding Kystlandet region. Vegetables arrive from small-scale growers, eggs and poultry from nearby farms, and meat from specialist butchers who prioritise animal welfare and flavour. The menu is structured to let these products speak clearly, often pairing just a few seasonal elements on each plate. Expect a blend of classic and international techniques: perhaps shellfish with bright Nordic acidity, slow-cooked meats with deep sauces, or delicate vegetables treated with the care usually reserved for prime cuts. The chef frequently redesigns the menu, keeping step with what local producers are harvesting and ensuring that repeat visits always hold new surprises.Tasting Menus Instead of Decisions
There is no long à la carte list to navigate here. Ji-Mi’s is built around a fixed tasting menu, typically running to several courses that carry you from a playful opening bite to a polished dessert. Over the course of the evening, dishes might move from oysters or trout roe to scallops, followed by poultry, beef or richly prepared vegetables, and finally a sweet finale that ties the meal together. Alongside the food, a curated wine pairing is a central part of the experience. Glasses shift from crisp whites to structured reds as the menu unfolds, chosen to highlight subtle flavours rather than overwhelm them. For those who prefer not to drink wine, carefully considered alternatives such as beer or juice pairings can complement the dishes with equal attention to detail.An Evening Crafted Around the Guest
The small scale of Ji-Mi’s allows the team to maintain a close connection with every table. Service is informal yet polished, combining professional timing with an easygoing tone that fits the intimate room. With only a handful of diners seated, staff have time to explain the origins of ingredients, describe cooking methods, and answer questions about each course. This intimacy also makes the restaurant well suited to special occasions and small gatherings. The length of the tasting menu transforms dinner into a full evening, where courses arrive in a measured flow rather than a rush. There is space between plates to talk, to reflect on flavours, and to watch the kitchen prepare the next chapter of the meal.Horsens’ Latin Quarter as a Backdrop
Step outside after dinner and you are in Hestedamsgade, a street woven into Horsens’ compact Latin Quarter, known for its older buildings, cafés and cultural venues. Ji-Mi’s location connects the restaurant naturally to the broader food and arts scene in town, including the chef’s daytime outpost at Café Ella in the art museum nearby. Within this urban setting, Ji-Mi’s stands out as a refined but approachable dining room, demonstrating how a small space and a tight-knit team can create one of the area’s most memorable culinary experiences. It is a place where regional produce, personal storytelling and careful craftsmanship come together over the course of a single, carefully composed evening.Iconic landmarks you can’t miss
