On a last minute dinner adventure, we found Bratschall Manala on our evening walk in Kayserberg,…read moreand it was not a disappointment as it was a quick discovery along the cobblestone road! Small inside, it seated mostly French tourists from other parts of France, but I was happy there was a table two by the wall for us. Apparently, the restaurant also had some German influences as we noticed some German dishes listed on the menu. What we had: 1/2 F O I E G R A S S A L A D E : I really wanted foie gras so we split a salad that is now one of the best salads that I ever had. So simple and adorned with raw mushrooms, picked radish, squash, beets, apples, seeds, olives, fried bread, and of course, foie gras! It was so good for two and I linger for it to this day. Q U I C H E L O R R A I N E & S A L A D E : Cheesy, eggy, thick bacon, and too big for me, I just love real french quiche lorraine and I was happy I decided on it. Although I would have liked pomme frites, I wasn't sure if it was okay that I ask for it, but I noticed someone else had a quiche and had pomme frites. LA C H È V R E T A R T E : A big tarte nearly a size of a pizza, with cheese, thick bacon, and baby goat cheese on top. It was yummy too, but it tasted very similar to my quiche. So we made a mistake in ordering similar items but in different forms, but nonetheless, we both liked the restaurant for a quick last minute find in Kayserberg x

I came to Kaysersberg for a quick visit as a part of a wine tour. After wandering through the town,…read moremy group arrived here and randomly decided that this would be the place to have lunch. It turns out that everyone enjoyed eating here more than anyplace else on the visit to Strasbourg, including a couple of Michelin-star stops. The burger (topped with ham and cheese) was juicy, well-seasoned and delicious. It was served with very good fries and a fresh green salad. The steak tartare, served on top of crispy hash-brown potatoes, was met with high praise. In addition to main courses, the restaurant has a showcase of beautiful desserts. Due to time constraints, we did not stay for dessert. Service here is excellent. The food came out quickly, and the servers were extremely attentive. When we were ready to leave, they were quick with the bill. They seemed to understand that you may have limited time, so everything moved at a relatively fast pace.

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.

If you really liked the dish, you are welcome to call the chef and compliment him - he really does care about a compliment you might have. That being said, this place is overall relaxed - my GF and I stopped there on our biking trip across Alsace and asked if they had any spots on the terrace. We were welcomed right away and, after taking a sit were blown away by the quality. First - the wines. Their crémant was excellent, just as their pinot noir. Unsurprising in the least, given that Ammerschwihr is one of the wine capitals of Alsace and the wine comes from the independent winemaker right across the road. And while you are at the entry wines, you are getting as well a "mise-en-bouche" - a small, elaborate snack for you to try to guess the ingredients and wake up your sense of taste. Second, the appetizer and the main dish. Their roasted tomato soup with ricotta was out of this world - absolutely excellent! Similarly, to the roasted neck of Black Iberico pork. A steamed selection of vegetables and baked potatoes as a side were a great touch. Beware however - if you are a vegetarian, you will have a right for a dish of vegetables and potatoes, but no dish for you on the menu, which is unfortunate. Finally, desert and coffee. The deserts are AMAZING. Their coffee machine as well. A baba au rum - a French classic - came with three different supplements and a shot of high-quality rum. Holy crap, was it good. Same thing could be said about the Irish Coffee my GF ordered. This place is not cheap, but it is excellent! Can but recommend!

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.

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.
