I don't get it. I really don't get it.

This place was empty. Not a single soul in there but me and my wife and an old little Chinese lady that took loving care of us. The food was spectacularly good, for a reasonable price. Ok, the ambiance is stuck somewhere in the 80, but who cares. It's clean, the food is good, the price is right. I gave 5 stars for worst places in the past.

The dishes are clearly inspired by the local cuisine, but taken to the next level, and so it does not surprise that the Guide Michelin awarded this restaurant a star years ago, and the place has never lost it since. The chef trained with Paul Haeberlin and some other famous French masters, and you can immediately see the French influence anywhere in the restaurant (including some of the staff coming from nearby Alsace). Surprisingly, the food is rather on the affordable side considering the quality and the way of preparation, and compared to other Michelin-starred restaurants, you should be able to strike a good deal. I would recommend the set chef's menu which comes in 6 or 7 courses and presents a great overview of the owner's capabilities. Highly recommended !
