湖光酒店

(Temporarily closed) In the upper reaches of Gérardmer, this imposing chalet-hostelry has been in the same family for five generations. The culinary focus is on classical dishes with a regional slant and crafted with top-notch ingredients, like duck foie gras, snails, game, fresh-water fish... The wine list is out of this world.

Located in this resort in the Hautes Vosges, you come across this appealing contemporary restaurant named after its two owners: Anita, who works front of house, and Nicolas, who presides in the kitchen. In a warm decor featuring stone and wood, the chef, who hails from Moselle, delivers his own personal take on fine dining cuisine, combining high-quality local produce (Wagyu beef, trout, snails, chickpeas and lentils) with techniques and flavours picked up during his many travels.

In the heart of the Vosges mountains, this family-run inn has been transformed into a fine hotel with a spa, surrounded by peaceful wooded grounds. In a chic and contemporary setting, chef Luc Masson cooks up delicious cuisine inspired by the terroir and featuring wild plants and herbs that he picks himself in the Vosges forests: yellow archangel, rockrose, nettle and pimpernel. In fine weather, make the most of the pleasant roof terrace.
