It was Bastille day long weekend in France and you could sense that the staff were run off their feet and you could see that they did not want to be there. The food was great however the choice for vegetarians was really limited and there was no creativity or a desire to serve vegetarians well. I had the king prawn ravioli which was divine as was the foie gras wrapped in beef. The beef was almost tartarish and I don't mind rare beef but would have preferred it was cooked a bit more, the chocolate soufflé was out of this world and simply the best soufflé I have ever had. I would return just for this divine dessert, The wine list is extensive and the breakfast buffet is also good, in terms of value for money this place ranks low as it is quite expensive and has hotel prices with breakfast costing €24 per person and dinner without drinks about €50-70 per person. The view is spectacular and it is rare to find yourself in a 16th century cellar which is where the restaurant is located. They have a lot of weddings at this place so it is quite big and can cater for a lot of people. For location and view this place gets 5 stars. For the food and service however this place is 3 stars for me and value for money is 2 stars. I would come back here again and hopefully the next time they will have better service.

It is frustrating when one reads a wine list, selects a wine, waits 20 minutes, and then is told…read morethey are out of the wine. It is even more frustrating when that happens a second time--and a third. We had to delay the meal while the waiter tried to find our third and then fourth selection, finally succeeding with a 2000 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. Food was pretty, main course meat a bit tough though properly prepared. The chef likes warm celery, as this was in a couple courses. The presentations were good, food good, but the wine incident colored my mood. The venue is a bit dated, but clean. How hard is it to keep a simple wine list up to date?

I am pleased to be the first English speaker to review this wonderful gem of a restaurant. When I…read morefirst entered this restaurant, I felt that I had hit a true French restaurant. Unpretentious, (the name roughly translates to the "Table of the Market Salesman" friendly and warm, its all about having a good time. I very highly recommend this restaurant. Now, for some details . . . First thing you have to know, is that you must reserve a table in advance! This restaurant is very popular with the locals as well as the odd, well-informed tourist. I saw a few unhappy couples turned away due to the lack of space. The restaurant is truly a small gem and very much worth the visit if you can. The second thing you should know is that the hostess / owner / waitress, Isabelle speaks perfectly good English so language should not be a problem. Her partner, Marc resides mostly in the kitchen working his magic, but he did pop his head out from time to time to see that everything was all right. It was more than all right! Finally, what can I say about the food? My girlfriend had the appetizer of snails, and I had the appetizer of fois gras. The snails were amongst the best I ever had - and since the portion was abundant, served shelled and in a charming glass jar, my generous partner allowed me to sop up the remaining sauce after she had finished the actual escargot. Was it divine? It was divine. I'm a bit of a fois gras fanatic. It's hard to get here in the USA, and when you do, it's very pricey! At Isabelle and Marc's the fois gras was, literally, as good as it gets. It is served sautéed in a pan (not in a pate) with a wonderful side of fresh fig. I wholeheartedly recommend both these appetizers to anyone that wants an outstanding rendition of typical French fare. Our main courses were both wonderful and very memorable. Mari, in keeping with her non-meat preference had the fish, and I had the lamb. They were both wonderful!! Don't think that the French portions are small, we practically rolled out of the place and that's having split a dessert! One final counsel. . . if you can, have some of the eau de vie that they serve there. This is a very strong alcohol similar to vodka, but infused with whatever fruity thing they make with it. I had the pear and Mari had the apple. Wow! If you are familiar with these drinks, you will see that the quality of the eau de vie served here are truly outstanding. Overall, this was not just a great meal, it was a wonderful experience. Isabelle made us feel very much at home, like we were honored guests, not just tourists passing though. Everyone else at the restaurant was (at least) speaking French, and if you can read the French reviews, you will often see something to the effect that this is where the French go for their French food. Please go, and let me know what you think! Say "bonjour" to Isabelle and Marc for me!

After eating at La Table Du Brocanteur last night here's my advice to tourists who are epicurean…read moreenthusiasts: (1) check in to your hotel, (2) call 03.89.23.45.57 and make a dinner reservation. This place was filled by 8:00 on a Tuesday night and no one looked ready to leave in less than two hours. When we entered just before 7:00 no other customers had yet arrived and most tables contained a "Reserved" sign. The gracious lady who seated us took the time to read the menu, including the specials, to us English-speaking folks. She even allowed us to sample two different Pinot Noir's so we got the one we both liked. Who even bothers to that nowadays?! My better half ordered the Escargots and the Cordon Bleu nature and I ordered the Spring Roll special and the L'onglet De Boeuf medium rare. Both starters arrived pippin' hot and were delicious. The American-sized entrees were as good as we have ever had. The potatoes, cauliflower, zucchini and carrots were amazing as were the shallots covering my perfectly cooked medium rare steak. It was an experience not just a meal. Though it took a bit of effort to find this fine gem in the Colmar maze, it was definitely worth it. Don't forget the reservation.

Came here for just a snack during lunchtime and ended up with a bag full of goodies. Had a sandwich first, you can choose what kinds of meat, cheese and other stuffing you'd like.

I bet the restaurant is a winner as well (judged by the reviews it is), but if you are close to home or on the way home, then make sure to buy some of their products here.

This is a small restaurant in the heart of Colmar, walking distance to the Cathedral…read more My Air BnB hosts highly recommended it and even made reservations for 7pm, just barely got a table. 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.

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.

For anyone who wants to try this restaurant, I suggest that you should go to other restaurants nearby. Croque Jeune Homme, the taste is pretty good, but one thing that bothers me the most was the bread was so burnt... I understand that you cooked this with butter; however, as a professional chef, you should know that high heat would burnt the bread, even though you wanna aim for the crunchiness. Angus Beef Ribeye, the worst beef dish we've ever had, compare to any restaurants in France, Canada, US, & even Hong Kong! I have no idea who the hell rate this restaurant as one of the Michelin Guide restaurants?! This dish is 55€ per person. We left 1/3 of chewy tendon & overcooked beef on the brass plate & plates, which my mom & I couldn't able to eat. It's like chewing a rubber band. I can't believe I've spent 110€ on this lousy dish! Message for the chef of this restaurant, Chef Jean Kurtz, although I've learned French cooking in US & have tried many decent French restaurants. Besides a long wait for the dishes, your dishes are far worse than what I was expected! We are NOT the only customers complained to your two servers, who were ONLY busy serving a big party downstairs & ignored the rest of the customers (upstairs) in your restaurant! Compare to other restaurants who are serving dinner on a Wednesday evening, your restaurant wasn't as packed or busy as other restaurants. It's a shame that your culinary skills seemed going down the hill.
