Presentation, taste, & service were all outstanding, supported by an extensive wine list. My wife, daughter, & I all agreed this was one of the two best meals during our vacation in Alsace and Switzerland.

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. Impeccably nuanced food, rich and yet not heavy, warm atmosphere, excellent service.

The food was good but lacked finesse. My wife's seafood dish was well cooked and tasted great. However, the plate it was served upon was too small for the meal. My potato gratin tasted good but was too "wet" and should have been cooked a bit longer to achieve a crust on top and reduce the liquid a bit. Again, both dishes tasted good. We were there on a cold night. Inside it was also cold. Many customers had their jackets on; I finally put mine on about half way through the meal. The chairs were most uncomfortable! Both my wife and noticed how bad the seating was - the chairs kinda made you lean forward; they were most unpleasant. I'd eat here again but would NOT eat inside sitting on the uncomfortable chairs. If inside were the only choice we'd walk on by and find somewhere else.

As a main course I had the Alsatian Tarte Flambé white pizza (no tomato sauce) which has a thin crust, "creme fraiche" (a cross between yoghurt and sour cream) with bacon and cheese. The portions are large. The onion tart was delicious and the Tarte Flambé very good. Crowded in the evening but with good service.

A family was kicked out after placing their food order, with the words: "I don't need clients like you." Their only "fault" was that they didn't order alcohol and asked for water. The sudden hostility was shocking and even frightening. It's a shame that one person can spoil the impression of such a beautiful city. I also noticed that under every review mentioning the "angry old lady," the owner insists it wasn't her and that tourists were "confused." To avoid any doubt, I attached a photo of her and the waiter -- the very people who behaved rudely, using the harshest words without the slightest provocation. Food is below average, and there are much better places around.

We've had our best meals in France and we had it in Suzel…read more It's located in a tiny beautiful city Hunawihr which in the middle of Alsace part of France. Our stay was literally 500 feet from the restaurant so we totally lucked out! It's a tiny restaurant with only about 10 tables. It was full of Germans and even the one woman server seemed German but spoke delightful French and she was also very friendly and helpful with the menu. Alsacienne food is served here which is more of a German twist. The wines are inexpensive, blanc, and more on the sweeter side - delicious paired with food. My salad was amazing and huge. Lettuce was topped with juicy pieces of grilled chicken, sweetest tomatoes, apples, almonds, and amazing deep fried croutons. Why can't they do this all over France? Husband's starter was the omelette and salad. The buttery omelette was decadent and had generous bits of bacon. YUM! The entree was choucroute (saurkraut - a must have in this area) topped with pork belly, ham, bratwurst, sausage, potatoe and a dallop of mustard. It was all delicious and very satisfying to say the least. The meal was surprising inexpensive - we had so much food =) A high recommendation!!

It's a small menu and just about everything that's not on the prix fixe menus was out (a rabbit dish that looked great, and 1-2 other things on the menu). Entrees were good (soup and foie gras), but main plates were both underwhelming. I had two tiny fillets of fish on top of a lot of peppers while my wife had a large cut of steak which was prepared "perfectly cooked" in French which of course comes out rare most of the time per French preferences. Unfortunately this cut of meat was very tough and virtually inedible at this temperature unless cut into tiny little pieces - if it was "medium rare" by UK/American standards it would have been great but not so much when served blue. My wife left a portion of her steak, and I left quite a bit of my plate which wasn't remotely exciting or worth eating. The cheese plate however is worth getting, and my dessert was pretty good plus they had some nice glass pours to pair with both my foie gras and dessert. Prices are quite reasonable for the high end atmosphere and service, and the dining room has a nice fireplace which I'm sure is great in the winter. One couple in the restaurant apparently even left their dog with the folks at hotel/restaurant reception and then picked up their dog after finishing their meal. That's high end service, I just wish our main courses had the same attention to detail. Yet, I would still return - and hope they had the braised rabbit with spaetzle available that night...

The lasagna was among the best ever had, the leftovers didn't reheat and taste as well as it did when served fresh. I feel like the cheeseyness had to be a bechamel sauce and it was amazing, we both took what what left to go which did not sustain the standard when we ate it fresh and tasted a bit sweet due to the amount of carrots in the bolognase. We both left some leftovers to be had because the creme brulee sounded beyond delish and it did not disapoint, the flavors on that plate were the most rounded dessert I think I've had. The creme wasn't as firm as it should have been IMO but the glaor was till there and would come back here if in the area soley for this dessert. Service was sloooooowwwwww and sadly one member of our wait staff while the one who spoke the best english for conversation purposes ha some personal body odor issues that were noticed by everyone everytime he appeared in our section of the resturante. While we understand that this is more 'common' in Europe it was so strong that I was sniffing my drink everytime they approached and the European people seated around us were equally appaled by the stnech. It wouldn't detour me from returning but it was unpleasant enough it needed mentioned in a food establishment it's more unwarranted.
