The House is devided into 2 parts: after a very friendly welcome, on the right hand side is the…read moretraditional part, of which I can't tell you much, except that I've seen a sign on the walls, Moules Frites at EUR 12, which is a bit high. On the left hand side is the Gourmet Tempel if you like, that's where we had our Christmas meal. They had 2 menues for choice: one with about 7 courses at EUR 48, the other one with 4 courses at EUR 32. We all had the 4 course menu, and it was delicious. Introduction with a little soup of fish, main course with wild pig filet, hand made small chocolate balls, mijam! The wines were local ones from Alsace, a fine Gewürztraminer, not to sweet, and the red wine good, but didn't try to take the attention away from the meal. The dessert deserves being mentioned explicitly: it was Apfelstrudel with Vanilla ice (now if you think that is not classy enough - go there and try it!). The plate was nicely decorated, and the piece of cake was really a large one. If you keep in mind that this was the last course half the piece could have done it, but they didn't go for the saving, they gave out pretty large pieces. The only thing needing to be mentioned is the service, which didn't really fit the place and teh ambition it has. No doubt, the 2 young girls did their best and didn't do much profoundly wrong, but they were missing the souvernity it needs in such a place, and one of them was even a bit unskilled. If would be the maitre there, I would defenitly give them clothing rules.. Anyway, all in all it is a great place!

A Resto in Europe that brings you an actual jar of water when asked for a glass. Now THAT is…read moreincredible! That deserves its own stars :) This resto is 1 of 1 option on its road but the owners treat you as if you had many other options; the service is really friendly and quick. I had a tarte, which is the same thing as their pizza, and it was edible. Way too much cheese and not enough ham but after a long day on the road it was the friendly service that counted.

In Alsace to tour battlefields, brought here by our guide. Attractively renovated old building,…read morefriendly staff who seemed equally at home in French or German. Mostly traditional cooking with a very nice wine list. I had a veal cordon bleu that melted in my mouth. Their portions are closer to big US-style platefuls than in other French restaurants we've been to on this trip. Don't order an appetizer (entree) and then a main dish (plat) and expect to have any room left. Which is a shame because their creme brulee is luscious. We plan on going back before we leave the area. Warning; it is a small place and reservations are advised. Also, common in older buildings in Europe, not at all ADA friendly.
