Was für eine Entdeckung! Wir waren nun schon zum vierten Mal hier – und jedes Mal aufs Neue begeistert. Herzliche Gastfreundschaft wird hier nicht nur versprochen, sondern wirklich gelebt. Dazu gibt es köstliches Essen zu fairen Preisen. Wir kommen garantiert wieder!

Belle découverte en rentrant d’Allemagne. Un petit resto chaleureux à l’heure de midi. J’avais bien fait de réserver. N’ayant pas grosse faim j’ai pris la formule plat du jour à 12€ : buffet et bœuf bourguignon, ce dernier excellent. Petite réserve sur les spätzle, un peu secs à mon goût. Service enjoué et rapide. 15€ avec une eau… pour reprendre la route. Je recommande.

The restaurant is on the main road through town right near most of the pottery shops. My husband and I had a delicious lunch there. I called the day before to make reservations, the lady spoke enough English to get it done. The menu was in French but the waitress tried her very best to translate into English or German. We definitely recommend this restaurant.

Une découverte incroyable dans le nord du Bas-Rhin. Une cuisine alsacienne et française traditionnelle. Le chef maîtrise sa cuisine à merveille et son épouse les sert avec le sourire et répand sa bonne humeur autour de toutes les tables. La serveuse qui la seconde est toute aussi agréable et professionnelle. Nous étions 6 et chacun a choisi un plat différent. Les assiettes sont arrivées pour embellir notre table puis pour régaler nos papilles. Les produits sont frais, de qualité et en quantité suffisante. Des escargots à l'alsacienne jusqu'au café gourmand qui porte très bien son nom, tout le repas à été une parenthèse enchantée ! Pensez à réserver avant sinon peu de chance de pouvoir déguster cette cuisine gourmande.
