We noticed our server blow her nose three times directly over the bread throughout the course of our meal.

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.

This is not a haut cuisine restaurant, but it is a great example of a traditional,classic French…read morefamily restaurant (in other worlds, this is how the French really eat because the famous restaurants are too expensive for everyday eating), and one of our favorite places to eat in the world (been there 4-5 times). Our first meal was when we learned that French cooking is the best in the world. On one memorable lunch, we shared a table with a couple from UK and a couple from Denmark and had a most enjoyable chat (in English) while eating fine French food. The history of There usually comes a time when we are visiting Europe (43 trips) when we get a yearning for something other than EU food, good as it is. When this urge hits, we have found these escapes: Chinese restaurants, a hamburger at the Holiday Inn Luxembourg, Blimpy's, and the Courte Paille chain in France. So, a couple times I have escaped EU cuisine for a day at the Chinese restaurant in Melk (from the Abbey, walk thru the town square, take the first right, and its on the corner of whatever street that is- and the road along the Danube). Decent Chinese food (clue: note the number of Orientals eating here ), decent service, and for EU, relatively low prices. Au Lion d'Or opened in 1759A.D. and is still going in the same building run by the same family today.

I enjoyed a tarte flambe with Ribeaupierre (a local cheese). The tastiest dessert went to the Amara ice cream - basically vanilla and cherry ice cream with creme patisserie and tasty boozy local cherries and kirsch drapped over it. The second time, half the party had la tete de veau. My uncle said it was the best he'd ever had. One person had the gratinee with jambon, which was to die for. Their crispy duck-fat potatoes are delightful. The staff were friendly and welcoming with a leisurely pace that fit our vacation pace. I would definitely make this a regular.

I am pleased to be the first English speaker to review this wonderful gem of a restaurant. When I…read morefirst entered this restaurant, I felt that I had hit a true French restaurant. Unpretentious, (the name roughly translates to the "Table of the Market Salesman" friendly and warm, its all about having a good time. I very highly recommend this restaurant. Now, for some details . . . First thing you have to know, is that you must reserve a table in advance! This restaurant is very popular with the locals as well as the odd, well-informed tourist. I saw a few unhappy couples turned away due to the lack of space. The restaurant is truly a small gem and very much worth the visit if you can. The second thing you should know is that the hostess / owner / waitress, Isabelle speaks perfectly good English so language should not be a problem. Her partner, Marc resides mostly in the kitchen working his magic, but he did pop his head out from time to time to see that everything was all right. It was more than all right! Finally, what can I say about the food? My girlfriend had the appetizer of snails, and I had the appetizer of fois gras. The snails were amongst the best I ever had - and since the portion was abundant, served shelled and in a charming glass jar, my generous partner allowed me to sop up the remaining sauce after she had finished the actual escargot. Was it divine? It was divine. I'm a bit of a fois gras fanatic. It's hard to get here in the USA, and when you do, it's very pricey! At Isabelle and Marc's the fois gras was, literally, as good as it gets. It is served sautéed in a pan (not in a pate) with a wonderful side of fresh fig. I wholeheartedly recommend both these appetizers to anyone that wants an outstanding rendition of typical French fare. Our main courses were both wonderful and very memorable. Mari, in keeping with her non-meat preference had the fish, and I had the lamb. They were both wonderful!! Don't think that the French portions are small, we practically rolled out of the place and that's having split a dessert! One final counsel. . . if you can, have some of the eau de vie that they serve there. This is a very strong alcohol similar to vodka, but infused with whatever fruity thing they make with it. I had the pear and Mari had the apple. Wow! If you are familiar with these drinks, you will see that the quality of the eau de vie served here are truly outstanding. Overall, this was not just a great meal, it was a wonderful experience. Isabelle made us feel very much at home, like we were honored guests, not just tourists passing though. Everyone else at the restaurant was (at least) speaking French, and if you can read the French reviews, you will often see something to the effect that this is where the French go for their French food. Please go, and let me know what you think! Say "bonjour" to Isabelle and Marc for me!

This place was filled by 8:00 on a Tuesday night and no one looked ready to leave in less than two hours. When we entered just before 7:00 no other customers had yet arrived and most tables contained a "Reserved" sign. The gracious lady who seated us took the time to read the menu, including the specials, to us English-speaking folks. She even allowed us to sample two different Pinot Noir's so we got the one we both liked. Who even bothers to that nowadays?! My better half ordered the Escargots and the Cordon Bleu nature and I ordered the Spring Roll special and the L'onglet De Boeuf medium rare. Both starters arrived pippin' hot and were delicious. The American-sized entrees were as good as we have ever had. The potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini and carrots were amazing as were the shallots covering my perfectly cooked medium rare steak. It was an experience not just a meal. Though it took a bit of effort to find this fine gem in the Colmar maze, it was definitely worth it. Don't forget the reservation.

The first night we had the Menu 48E (63E with wine pairing). The Espuma of potatoes with mushrooms, escargots, bacon and onions was rich, earthy and sublime. The Simmental beef was excellent and was beautifully complimented by an exquisite sweet potato gratin layered with a delicate sweet potato puree. The apple tarte was so beyond perfection that I can't even find words to adequately describe the intensity of flavor. The second night we had the Menu 32E (47E with wine pairing). The crab tartare was lovely and the roast salmon, with slightly smoky flavor, was excellent. Both evenings started with an amuse bouche of warm asparagus soup with what was described as a coffee cream with nuts. It was delicious. The wine pairings were absolutely perfect as was the Cremant aperitif. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough.
