The Maison des Têtes, a listed Renaissance edifice lavishly decorated with grimacing faces, is as superb as Colmar itself. The restaurant's decor is minimalist, in keeping with Éric Girardin's tasting menu, which showcases the terroir of Alsace. Each dish is the epitome of beauty, flavour and delicately refined aromas. You will be won over by the trout "in three acts" and its hollandaise sauce with herbs, or the pigeon with cabbage, orange and cashew nuts. There is also a brasserie, plus guestrooms that sport a spirit of timeless elegance.

Martin Schongauer, one of the greatest late-15C engravers and painters from the Rhine, had his studio just across from this establishment, whose walls date back to the Renaissance. The chic, cosy interior, by contrast, has a decidedly contemporary vibe. When it comes to the food, Loïc Lefebvre cooks up precise modern cuisine, which is rife with creative twists and, needless to say, evolves with the seasons. Freshness, subtlety and also indulgence are the hallmarks of his Marennes oyster poached with green apple and dill, or his matured Salers beef tenderloin with red wine sauce.
