Chambres D'hôtes Les Ecrins

This old bar has been transformed into a “living space” by a chef born in the village who has accumulated an impressive number of food awards. The son and grandson of a butcher, Jérôme Jaegle is just as much a market gardener and permaculture enthusiast as he is a chef with an impressive CV, having worked with famous names such as Jean-Yves Schillinger and Christian Têtedoie. Almost Scandinavian in appearance, his restaurant is decorated in light wood and natural materials and is named after Alchemilla, the favourite plant of alchemists. His creative and individual cuisine focuses, unsurprisin

Ah, Kaysersberg! This small village on the Alsace wine route comes into view between two valleys – you can't miss the iconic red façade of Hotel Le Chambard, which houses La Table d'Olivier Nasti, Meilleur Ouvrier de France 2007. The chef's objective is to showcase the terroir and restore tradition in a series of creative, visually arresting, even playful dishes. To this end, no ingredients are off limits: game, morels from the Vosges, foie gras, truffles and even Arctic char. He has created a personal menu that takes the seasons into account and pays particular attention to sauces and decocti

The family behind this quintessential Kaysersberg valley farm has been perpetuating the spirit of Alsace's terroir since 1975. Renovated and enlarged over the years, the premises now house a bright dining area overlooking the valley. Precise and skilful cuisine showcases ingredients sourced from the kitchen garden and local producers.

On the Wine Road south of Colmar, the picture postcard wine-growing village of Ammerschwihr nestles in Kaysersberg Valley, dubbed the valley of stars - Michelin stars of course! It is home to a veteran chef and former member of the Auberge de l’Ill team, Julien Binz, for whom the world of cooking has no secrets. Against a plush, stylish background, he rustles up seasonal dishes founded on lashings of culinary technique with an Alsace accent: duck foie gras crafted two ways; a “striped” trout with choucroute and a creamy Kaefferkopf riesling sauce; tortellini of Munster cheese and a buttery sto

Behind the rustic façade of this charming 16C house, some lovely surprises lie in store: chef Laurine Gutleben's dishes give pride of place to fresh produce and free rein to creativity, for instance in her scallop carpaccio with citrus fruits and a langoustine jus. The wine list features a fine selection, particularly, but not only, from Alsace.

On the edge of the Munster Valley, La Nouvelle Auberge ("New Inn") is a lovingly maintained former coaching inn. The regional-style bistro on the ground floor serves up delicious lunch options during the week. The fine dining restaurant occupies a lovely space on the first floor with exposed timberwork. Bernard Leray, who hails from Rennes in Brittany, has taken to Alsace like a duck to water. After honing his skills at Bernard Loiseau, Leray puts a delicate new spin on local produce, each dish demonstrates his painstaking work and consummate technique – medallion of pike-perch, medley of sals

At Chambard's second restaurant, a winstub-style eatery, Olivier Nasti revisits Alsace produce with joyous results: onion tart, presskopf, baeckeoffe, sauerkraut. As for desserts, the iced Kougelhopf is exemplary: tasty and generous, it is an ode to indulgence! The entire menu, including the suggestions on the blackboard, is mouth-watering. Convivial atmosphere.
