Thierry Schwartz, who describes himself as an Alsace native by birth and at heart, believes that nature's rightful place is at the centre when it comes to cooking.

To set the scene: think lots of wood, seasonal vegetables on display and a log-burning fire. Thierry concocts three remarkable set menus in which the produce (from Alsace and permaculture) is sufficient in and of itself: pure spelt, arctic char, wild sorrel, organic farm eggs... to be washed down with a f

Les Semailles

This spruce Alsace house stands in a quiet side street. On the menu: top-notch ingredients, perfectly cooked, intelligently seasoned and paired and a catering tradition that upholds the practice of tableside service (a rack of veal is carved and langoustine is seared on hot stones right in front of the diner). We were particularly taken with the langoustines, asparagus and caviar – a masterpiece of scrumptious delicacy. When the weather is fine, make a beeline for the terrace shaded by a hundred-year-old wisteria.

La Vieille Tour

€€€Traditional Cuisine

We could not but fall in love with this authentic inn, run by a couple of professionals. Their generous restaurant, close to the “Petite France”, nurtures traditional flavours (breast of chicken with jus, cod fillet with vegetables and mushrooms, game in season) depending on market availability. The simple décor is embellished with humorous posters on Alsace by the renowned Tomi Ungerer.
