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.

Located in a picture postcard wine-growing village, this inn, helmed by a young couple, strives to uphold Alsace traditions by way of no-nonsense, gutsy, wholehearted fare and premium local produce: presskopf, snails in garlic and parsley butter, Heimbach arctic char, beef in coarse salt, braised ham hock and choucroute... The ice cream is house made.

The Le Valtrivin team, previously in Lapoutroie, has a new home in Ammerschwihr, in the heart of the Haut-Rhin vineyards. It's a brilliant move for this establishment, which is passionate about showcasing Alsace wines – and many others. Here within these old stone walls, a couple is at the helm – he takes pleasure in recommending gems from his incredible wine list; she rustles up appealing contemporary dishes, using top-notch local and seasonal ingredients. Be sure to indulge in one of her truly refined desserts. Highly recommended!
