Food is exceptional. Yeah, I have some moral qualms about foie gras...but the creamy, velvety, goose butter scraped over some nicely charred bread is a dish one must try here. 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. When I make it back to Colmar, I'll be making another visit.

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.

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.

I met up with some American friends and we enjoyed one of the three course pairing dinners. We were a little rushed as they need the table at 8:30 which was surprising as usually they consider you have the table all night. We started out with a small appetizer which included fois gras (which was my first). Found out later that you are suppose to make a wish you for time, well that got wasted.. The rest of the meal was perfect. They assigned us a waiter who spoke English which was very helpful as we had no idea what we were eating. From my understanding the owner has changed direction here and has gone quite gastronomic. It was really special. Highly recommend. Must have a reservation.

We opted for the Prix Fixe menu as it was too tiring to ask for the entire menu to be translated and to enquire about food allergies. Amuse Bouche Starter: Foie Gras Main: Duck Burger Dessert: Strawberry Carpaccio The best dish was the foie gras starter this was neatly presented and gained an astonishing remark of 'this place was definitely worth trying' from a dining companion who rarely cares about food or where they should dine! The Strawberry carpaccio dessert looked carefully assembled was a light and refreshing dish to end the meal. The Prix Fixe menu at 38 euros was competitively priced. Service was professional, one waiter was able to translate the French menu sufficiently. As we were leaving I was amused to discover that I had been mistaken for an overseas food critic by the staff.

We ended stumbling upon Des Tanneurs for lunch while we were at the Colmar Christmas market. You…read moresee, we made the mistake of delaying our lunch until after 2 pm, when most establishments were then closed until dinner - our dining options were very limited and Des Tanneurs was one of the only places still accepting diners. Des Tanneurs serves traditional Alsatian fare in an environment with typical Alsatian decor. It's cite, and kitschy, and I love the warmth. It reminds me of my grandma's house. It was packed when we arrived, and the service was what you might expect at European restaurants. Unfussy, but they get the job done. This was my first time trying Alsatian choucroute -- what I received was a massive ham hawk served atop sauerkraut and some steamed potatoes on the side. Side note- I hail from a region in the U.S. where sauerkraut is also very common, and I had more the my fair share growing up. But Alsatian sauerkraut is less sour with a more complex flavor, which I attribute, in part, to the juniper berries. Anyway, I loved the whole, stick to your ribs, massive portion of choucrute I received. There was so much ham, I could not eat it all. The dish was so tasty and surprisingly less salty than I was expecting. My husband went with a melted Munster cheese dish served with roasted potatoes, which he loved so much that he declared was even better than raclette. Les Tanneurs was a lucky find for us, and it made an already fun day, even better with delicious food. I'd recommend when visiting Colmar.

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.
