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.

The portions are large. The onion tart was delicious and the Tarte Flambé very good. Crowded in the evening but with good service.

While visiting the vignobles is great, there's something to be said for being able to try an enormous range of wines from all across the region right in downtown Colmar. Their dessert wine selection in particular was something else and made for an unparalleled tasting experience. Reservations would definitely be a good idea, though it wasn't clear if they were necessary. Once it was realized that we were interested in and greatly enjoying the wines, we got fantastic service with thoughtful recommendations. Only downside was, as is typical, clouds of smoke outside, so you may want to get a seat inside.

Been to a number of different restaurants here as well as Paris and none surpassed the detail to attention that we received here. Son and mother both serve while dad works the kitchen.

Located on a very nice square on the Grand Rue. It was still fully booked, but a table got just available. Outside, on this very nice and sunny day. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Ordered two beer, six escargots (snails) and a skirt steak with Foie Gras on top (Rossini style, just without redwine reduction). Staff was ok, pretty busy, but fine. Prices really fair here. The steak was ok, not the highest quality - but good value. Nice combination with the Foie Gras though. Fries were nicely presented, hot and crispy. The real surprise were the Escargot. Nice, big snails. A very fresh and rich garlic/parsley sauce. For 7 Euros a real steal and some of the best escargots we've had yet. All in all an enjoyable place. Not perfect, but fair priced and good to grab some lunch.

We got our table right away, and sat down to eat. We ordered some Alsatian local specialties like Au Rhain and Six Meats and Sauerkraut (photos). The food unfortunately was just OK for us. I had better Au Rhain before elsewhere, and though Alsatian sauerkraut had very unique taste compared to typical German one, I'd rather had some German sauerkraut instead. Six meats were OK, and they were nothing so special that I had to come back for some more. Well, we tried is all I can say about our dining experience here. Service was very good.

Tarte flambée (Flammkuchen in German) is a specialty from Alsace and Lorraine, Saarland and neighboring Palatinate and Baden. The basis of the tarte flambée is a very thinly rolled-out base of bread dough. It was called flambée or tarte flambée because it was just kissed by the flame of the logs (I understood thinly rolled-out dough was used to test the temperature of an oven--if it gets dark, the oven is too hot; if it doesn't get baked enough, the oven is too low). The edges of this "ultra thin-crusted pizza" (my term) was rather crispy and burnt (photo; the oven may have been tad too hot), but it tasted very good with well-seasoned veggies on top. The creamy white cheese sauce was not too thick, but it gave a very nice texture and flavor. Overall, it was a very simple meal with very good taste. Service was rendered by a very happy man--at least he seemed so. He was going from a table to table like busy bee taking care of his customers.

That meant that depending on the family member people had two wait up to two hours for a dish. Not recommendable.
