Such is the renown of Sylvie Grucker and her son that this pretty restaurant on the wine route is greatly in demand. Sylvie combines traditional recipes with an inventive streak in a bid to showcase regional fare: bacon-flavoured choucroute soup or duck shepherd’s pie, mushrooms and 12-spice sauce, side by side perennial favourites like granddad’s snails, ravioles of carp in a creamy, smoked sauce or Sylvie’s meringue and ice cream extravaganza! Local winegrowers and producers from the village (thirty or so) take pride of place on the enticing wine list.

In this small village perched in the foothills of the Vosges, this hotel-restaurant has been welcoming travellers since the start of the last century.

Behind the slightly mysterious names, the appealing modern cuisine has flashes of creativity.

It is a delight to eat at this restaurant that has been run by the same family for four generations! Like his forebears, the chef concocts gutsy, wholesome recipes: presskopf and horseradish sauce, choucroute of smoked pork shank with potatoes, zander quenelles and matelote sauce... The friendly service is by the chef’s daughter and the traditional winstub interior proves that some things never go out of fashion!

Dive headlong into Alsace traditions at this winstub featuring numerous elsässische Spezialitäten, including kougelhopf, sauerkraut, black pudding, apple purée, baeckeoffe hotpot or specials such as "Marie Leczinsca vol-au-vent"… Choose a wine from the family estate to accompany your food, then sit back and enjoy in a setting that couldn't be more characteristic of the region.
