This gastronomical restaurant, in a traditional French style, is comfortably tucked away in a small…read morevillage of Wantzenau near Strasbourg and without an indication form locals, it would be extremely easy to miss it. It is however extremely good and is not very far off a single Michelin star. Last time I went there was with my parents. We were given a choice of several entrées, several main dishes, and desserts. A wine expert approached us to help pick up wines that would marry best with the meals we picked up. Friendly staff, nice interior and relaxed atmosphere with rays of sunlight shining through the window onto our table definitely contributed to a great mood, but the best - the food - was yet to come. My mother ordered a grilled crayfish with some caviar sprinkled on top. What we didn't realize that the grilling process would be a show, happening right at our table, in front of our very eyes. In addition to the show, it tasted amazing and was preceded with an "aperitif" with some "aperitif" wines. As to main dishes, they were excellent - the fish I had was both amazing in presentation, flavor, and taste; complemented perfectly by a dessert that was coming afterward. Overall, it was an excellent location for spending quality time and tasting some amazing meals. While this place is a bit too expensive for a regular visit, I am definitely looking forward to the next opportunity to come back there and can but recommend it!

Les différents mets -telle la très cotée "caille en croûte farcie de foie de canard"- n'ont pas de prix en soi. C'est l'assortiment composé par chacun qui entre en compte. Le principe de "menu carte" est un puzzle libre, à partir d'une carte modifiée toutes les six semaines où foies poêlés et poissons ont le beau rôle. Une formule "affaire", pensée pour être servie rapidement le midi, ou un salivant menu "prestige" complètent l'attirail. Le plus dur sera de choisir un vin parmi la cinquantaine de variétés alsaciennes et des crus de douze autres régions. Autres atouts non négligeables de ce paisible restaurant, la véranda séparée et surtout une terrasse recouverte d'une glycine centenaire.

I'm totally confused on why they are not Michelin rated . For all the silly reviews with low star…read moreratings , come on , there is a McDonald's down the street and that's where you belong. This restaurant is now going to be haunting me in my dreams it was that good . First off, the onion tart is crack. The perfect crust with fluffy eggs and onions and bacon. I would say generally I'm not the biggest fan of quiches, but the onion tart is a must. Then we had the white asparagus special with a soft boiled egg and lentils with the most flavorful dressing ever. I was with my two daughters and wife and we split the onion tart and asparagus special as an appetizer, and literally a fight almost broke out among us. Then we split the steak, pork filet and potato pancakes. Just absolutely delicious. My older daughter does not like salad and she actually couldn't believe she liked the side salad that came with her steak. Not the lame iceberg bagged salad mix you get it some restaurants. This was frise, endive and radicchio in a vinaigrette that was spot on. Best french fries ever as a side on the pork fillet. Incredible home fries as the side on the steak. I wish I would've taken photos to post, but the dishes were getting destroyed as soon as they came out. We had the rhubarb pie as a dessert and Panna cotta. We are coming back tomorrow for lunch and getting the asparagus and tart again. It was that good.

My husband had choucroute garnie and I had chicken with Munster sauce, a very interesting dish. The house wine and cremant were wonderful.

La Table du Gayot Our hotel recommended La Table du Gayot…read more It was a good recommendation. We arrived a bit early so we had our choice of outdoor tables. The restaurant is located on a nice tree filled square. We ordered a salad which we shared, followed by a meat and fish main course. Both main courses were nicely prepared. My wife really enjoyed meat dish special with spätzle, I enjoyed the fish with rice (both pictured). Service was excellent. We also enjoyed a bottle of rose - the wine prices are excellent throughout Strasbourg. Highly recommended.
