This gastronomical restaurant, in a traditional French style, is comfortably tucked away in a small…read morevillage of Wantzenau near Strasbourg and without an indication form locals, it would be extremely easy to miss it. It is however extremely good and is not very far off a single Michelin star. Last time I went there was with my parents. We were given a choice of several entrées, several main dishes, and desserts. A wine expert approached us to help pick up wines that would marry best with the meals we picked up. Friendly staff, nice interior and relaxed atmosphere with rays of sunlight shining through the window onto our table definitely contributed to a great mood, but the best - the food - was yet to come. My mother ordered a grilled crayfish with some caviar sprinkled on top. What we didn't realize that the grilling process would be a show, happening right at our table, in front of our very eyes. In addition to the show, it tasted amazing and was preceded with an "aperitif" with some "aperitif" wines. As to main dishes, they were excellent - the fish I had was both amazing in presentation, flavor, and taste; complemented perfectly by a dessert that was coming afterward. Overall, it was an excellent location for spending quality time and tasting some amazing meals. While this place is a bit too expensive for a regular visit, I am definitely looking forward to the next opportunity to come back there and can but recommend it!

We wondered through the Le Petit France, and I was telling my partner about the Le Cord de Lange as a lunch option (the place I discovered when I was in Strasbourg last year), but as we walked closer, I saw the sign I recognized- Michelin star. We saw the menu and decided that that will be the place for us today. After 40 minutes waiting for them to open for lunch, we walked back right at noon, to see few people ahead of us being seated. We were not that hungry, so we agreed to share steak tartare, and each got a main dish, followed by a desert. Steak tartare was the best I ever had in my life! Loved it! My partner had a duck breast, and I had fish. Both were delicate and cooked so well! The fish (cod) with crispy skin, with bok choy and the cream butter sauce, was marvelous. For the dessert, he ordered the strawberry soup with the dragon fruit soufflé and the vanilla ice cream. Amazing! As we left the restaurant, I messaged my friends about Umami and told they have to visit, and learned that apparently, it's not that easy. With only seven tables they get booked fast. So if you are lucky to walk in like us, grab a seat and enjoy your meal

If you can, do make reservations, especially for lunch time because it gets packed by 12:30 as it seems to be a fav among locals. The server explained the menu to us in English and gave great recommendations. Chef comes out and chats with the regulars or meets new customers which adds a more personal touch to the experience. Don't miss out on this little gem if you are in Strasbourg.

They usually lie about this and still send you to touristy places but this time was different. We were the only people in the place who were foreigners. I had deer and my girlfriend had steak frites. Highly recommend this place if you ever find yourself in Strasbourg. It is about a 5-10 minute walk from downtown.
