The highlights of our meal were definitely the foie gras which was made by the chef and tasted great, and the Spaniard Pork which was well prepared and melted in the mouth. The rest of the dishes: choucroute, fish were good but nothing spectacular. The restaurant has different rooms and the experience might be different depending on where your table is located but in general the tables are far apart so you can easily carry a conversation without being spied on by your neighbors and the atmosphere is nice. A slight bémol, the service could be improved. It is good but not 100% with small mistakes: wrong side dishes brought to the table as opposed to the ones ordered, a bit slow at time. Overall still a good experience.

I had the beef "gro sel" which I saw the lady at the next table eat, and it looked good. My husband had the bibalakas with smoked trout, which was good, but not quite what he was hoping for (we didn't really know what to expect). The kids had sausage and spatzel/french fries. I liked my food. Just the right portion and taste for me. Dessert was good as well. I had the black forest cake, and my husband had the pie of the day, which was a crumble raspberry pie. Overall, a solid family friendly restaurant in old town Colmar.

We started with a couple of spritzes and a big bottle of tap water. We ordered a few main courses to share -- the winemaker "salad," which was too much meat and cheese with very little lettuce; the goat cheese and honey flambee, which was decent but we had a better one earlier in the day down the road and the original bibalakas, which were our favorite item. It was a good meal but not one of our favorites. Maybe we didn't order the right things.

Which was a good thing, since they had to turn away several guests that night. Our English Bulldog was welcome here as well, which was very nice of them. The menu in this Michelin restaurant is compact, but has something for every taste. It's modern french cuisine I'd say. We ordered a glass of local Riesling with our starters. There was a complementary Amuse-Bouche. A kind of cream-puff, but savoury with a creamy, cheesy filling. A really tasty appetizer. For starters we chose the Galantine duck and foie gras and trout carpaccio. Both fantastic choices. Wonderful duck and foie gras (mi-cuit), matched the Riesling perfectly. And the trout (pink/orange) was better quality-wise than most salmon in any other restaurants we know. High quality, fresh, highly enjoyable. For the mains we ordered the Veal shank confit and the Milk-fed lamb shoulder. Both excellent dishes. A bottle of red with that . I know duck confit, but veal confit (72 hours) was new to me. What a tender, juicy piece of meat. Actually: Piece of art! And the sauce...heaven! Confit is something you need to try. And this place here would be perfect for that. But also the lamb was wonderful. Equally tender, very smooth and with a rich sauce. You wouldn't even know it's lamb taste-wise, it was just perfect. There wasn't any room for desserts after this rich meal. A really fantastic dinner in a wonderful restaurant with a classic and cosy setting. It was pretty packed, so the staff was pretty busy. But they were quick and attentive, just didn't really have time for a quick chat or so. Price-wise it was fair. Around 150 Euros for two glasses of white, a bottle of red, two starters and two mains. For this quality? I would actually even say more than fair. A great place.

The Brasserie Historique attached to the historic Hotel La Maison des Tetes in Colmar is not to be…read moremissed. From the moment you see the Hotel property from the street and sidewalk, you are struck with the history of the place as you approach and see the historical markers confirming and informing more details of that history. Understand the Hotel La Maison des Tetes Colmar has two restaurants co-located on the premises. The Michelin Star rated Restaurant Girardin has garden seating when the weather beckons and superb cuisine I imagine. However, the more feasibly priced Brasserie Historique delivers and I cannot imagine missing the Michelin rating when you see the ham, bacon, and sausage platter with potatoes, sauerkraut and pickles I devoured in the pictures. The boiled potatoes are soft and buttery. The definitively German influenced kraut is more sweet, than sour. The Weisswurst and Bratwurst are spot on and must be accompanied by the required spicy mustard. The bacon and chunk of haxe are so tender and with a hint of smoke. Are you drooling? I am recalling this masterpiece of a pork platter I call the Alsatian Avalanche and it will leave you satisfied and satiated. The pictures don't lie. Accompanied by some good beer on tap always in rotation and seasonally, your palate and stomach will feel and taste the German influence that is a historically sensitive matter in this part of France. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming as was our server. The experience is rewarding to your palate, your olfactory and visual senses. This is a place to which I would return easily in Colmar and I highly recommend the Brasserie Historique if you are in Colmar. This is one of the better Yelp four star ratings I can give and I can imagine many people would give it a higher rating. I welcome your feedback and comments. Sante!

I wasn't on an adult vacation, though--I was in Colmar for the Christmas markets with my mom and my two kids, aged five and three. The whole town was packed with tourists on a Saturday, and most of the restaurants weren't great for my little American boys, who were not about to embrace the local Alsatian cuisine. We were happy to stumble on L'Amandine as we walked by St. Martin's church, the beautiful Gothic cathedral in the center of town. The restaurant was big, and we noticed people eating pasta on the patio. It was 5:45 and we decided to take the opportunity to stuff the children with easy carbs. The interior was spacious, and we were able to walk in and grab a cozy table towards the back of the dining room. The restaurant filled up while we were there, and the atmosphere was kind of fun and festive. The boys went a little crazy at the end, and it was loud enough that their noise level wasn't a problem. My three-year-old lying on the floor, though, was, and at one point, our waiter got impatient and moved him out of the way. Understandable, and service was otherwise pretty friendly, if inattentive. My mom and I shared a burger, which was decent, with a beef patty, cheddar, gherkins, tomato, onion, and burger sauce, and a little onion ring on top. It came with fries, which were also fairly satisfying. More importantly, the kids got a heap of spaghetti with butter, plus apple juice and hot chocolate with mini marshmallows for dessert. I skipped the hot cocoa but did enjoy a glass of pinot noir. If you're in Colmar during Christmas season and just need somewhere to sit and eat, L'Amandine is a good bet. There's wine for you, and food and drink for your children.

Located next to the Colmar Cathedral, this restaurant left much to be desired…read more The staff appeared disorganized. While our server was helpful, he seemed rushed and overwhelmed. At one point, he went on a break without informing us, which felt unprofessional and rude. The food was of disappointingly low quality. The pizza was mediocre at best, the salad lacked flavor, and the dessert was bland, dry, and utterly forgettable. We had lunch inside. That place is quite noisy and didn't really look too clean. Overall: We cannot recommend this place. If you're unable to find a table elsewhere, you're better off grabbing a pastry or sandwich from a street vendor. Avoid this restaurant at all costs.

This was partly our fault but we didn't realize we ordered fake escargot. We got a dish with some tough beef and bland sauce. The restaurant interior reminds me of a lodge.

Food is exceptional. Yeah, I have some moral qualms about foie gras...but the creamy, velvety, goose butter scraped over some nicely charred bread is a dish one must try here. My son ordered a ham hock dish--amazed to have something people at home use to flavor greens made into a signature-level dish...falling off the bone, tender as can be, perfectly seasoned. I had the baeckoffe (like a casserole), which was also delectable, but I remain envious of that ham! Ambience is beautiful. The interior has an old world, classic feel. Outside is the usual European patio right next the the bustling sidewalk...the essence of relaxation. Service is fantastic. Helpful and knowledgeable. When I make it back to Colmar, I'll be making another visit.
