I figured if we get there right when dinner service starts at 7, then we should be able to get a table, but I was so wrong. They were already fully booked for the rest of the night, and closed for the next two days. I was so disappointed thinking that I won't be and to try it based on all the reviews. Since we were staying around the corner from there. I asked the guy if I can get take out. He did me a favor and was able to accommodate that. I saw a "take away available" sign hidden when I was waiting for my order, so I am pretty sure that they weren't taking take out orders either. We took it back to our Airbnb, and it was so yummy. We got the Munster and the Gratinée. I'm so glad that we were able to try this place during our trip. Thank you so much to the kind staff who was able to accommodate my take out order. This place is a MUST GO in Colmar, and make sure to make a reservation.

The dishes range from €15-20 and wine glasses are ~€5. I hadn't read reviews before coming here (most are on another popular review website) so my selections were a bit off, but on my next visit, I'll have to order their charcuterie and cheese plates with proper wine pairings. They also have a selection of brunch options. I was eyeing one of their omelettes (in a style from Corsica, with an aromatic cheese in it and served with charcuterie and a side salad), but I ended up going with a slice of "Muenster Valley" meat pie, served with lettuce and carrot salads. If I could have eaten two brunches at once, I would have picked these two items, but I was very full from the meat pie, especially after starting out with half of a cheese plate. I'll have to come back to try the omelette later. The meat pie and side salads were delicious and everything tasted fresh. I really loved the way they prepared the side salads - very light, simple dressing to bring out natural flavors (I believe French produce is organic and is rich with natural flavor). The cheese plate (mine was a half portion) was very good and featured four kinds of cheeses: a soft muenster cheese, a very strong British cheese (sorry, I can't recall the name), a truffled gouda, and an earthy goat cheese. I had just gotten off a redeye and would have passed out in the restaurant if I had taken as little as a sip of wine, but if I were to have this cheese plate again, I'd definitely order a glass of wine with it. The service was very good - the staff was very patient with my French and also spoke English fluently.

The two pastries that intrigued me the most were their lemon tarte and a fluffy German cheesecake called Käsekuchen. Ideally, I would have gotten both, but I was so full from eating everything else in this town that I had to settle with having just one pastry for an afternoon snack - and I went with the Käsekuchen. While I liked that it wasn't too sweet, it ended up being very eggy and altogether very meh - a first for me when it comes to pastries in France. The tea I got to go with it was also not very memorable. While the interior is cute - rustic, with lots of Teddy bears everywhere - the service was very lacking, especially compared to other places in this town. Maybe my experience would have been better if I had picked the lemon tarte or tried some lunch or dinner items, but I'll probably skip this place next time I'm in town.

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.

After we placed our order, they brought an amuse-bouche for the table. For our starters, we ordered Les Escargots d'Alsace de Monsieur Barbisan au beurre persillé and La Salade au Munster pané de Gilbert et Magret Fumé. Les escargots were hands down the best escargots I have ever had! I'm not sure what sort of magical parsley butter they use, but good Lord, this was pure heaven! The Munster salad and smoked duck breast were good. The cheese was breaded and fried and paired well with the greens and duck. For our entrees, we ordered the Jarret de Porc braisé au Melfort, Sauce Pinot Noir, Spätzelés à la farine bio d'Alsace and La Choucroute Wistub de Danie. The pork was perfectly braised and fell off the bone with zero effort. La Choucroute was precisely what you would expect: a plat for sausages and bacon. This pork lover's plate not only lives up to our expectations but also far surpasses them! Never would I ever have expected to say such a phrase, as this is the best sauerkraurt I have ever had. With thinly shredded cabbage that wasn't too sour, it complemented the meat on this plate like they meant to do one another. Tips and tricks! Make a reservation. If none are available online, walk by and speak to them in person; they might be able to make it work.

If you love Italian style deli cookies then be sure to grab a box, not a bag, a box and pick out your favorites. If you opt for a bag, you will be sorely disappointed and left wanting more. The bakery is a standard, small European bakery offering streudels, breads, pastries, eclairs, and the like. I have only had the small cookies that are sold by weight, brownie, and streudel, all of which were simply divine. It is hard for me to accurately assess pricing as I live in Zurich where everything is overpriced and don't taste nearly half as good as the offerings at this bakery. I typically get a kilo (what can I say?) of cookies and a brownie and spend around 15 euro. The women are friendly and understand enough English to allow you to pick out your own cookies that they pack up for you. The only drawback was during my last visit a very tacky U.K. family came in and started taking a ton of photos (with flash). Mind you this shop is small so I am guaranteed to be in every photo, I was thoroughly annoyed by their horrendous behavior. Closed from noon-14:00

It was big shank with a quarter inch of slimy hide wrapped around it. Once we pried the skin off with our butter knife (no steak knives given) what lay beneath was a dark pink flesh that seemed reminiscent to what the Donners must have had for dinner in the Sierra-Nevada - except what they ate was probably cooked better and less greasy. The rice and sauerkraut were the best parts of our meal. The wine was good too. The people around us chose flatbread type pizzas and they seemed to love them.
