One Star: High quality cooking

With its decorative half-timbering that is emblematic of this part of Alsace, the inviting mushroom-coloured building catches the eye from afar. Close to the flower-decked banks of the Brunnwasser, it houses this restaurant, where diners can sample the dishes of Alexis Albrecht, who has worked at some top restaurants (Au Crocodile, the Pourcel brothers and Jacques Maximin). The chef's generous seasonal cuisine makes the most of the terroir and local produce, such as fish from the Rhine and game from the Ried… He also draws on an abundance of vegetables and aromatic herbs from the family's kitchen garden, which he and his father cultivate.

"We have had 60 ares of vegetable garden since the creation of the restaurant. What we produce makes us 80% self-sufficient. We work with professional fishermen on the Rhine, local hunters for game and local farms for veal, poultry, pigs, snails, milk... Bio-waste and compost."
