LE Domaine DU Parc

Set in the Vosges mountains, surrounded by pristine wilderness, this luxurious chalet hotel complete with a spa is conducive to truly unwinding and recharging. High up in these mountains, tranquillity, and an almost monastic atmosphere reigns – indeed the site was the Ermitage du Père Joseph prior to becoming a small ski resort. Fine dining has been brought to this unique setting by Benoit Potdevin (Le K at Domaine de la Klauss, MICHELIN-starred in Moselle), supported by a local chef. Inspired by regional terroir, their menus (one of which is vegetarian) are a feast of precision and refined fl

In the heart of the Lunéville countryside, this romantic, classical château is nestled in wooded grounds. You pass through a dignified series of rooms that have lost none of their period cachet: wainscoting, parquet floors and open fireplaces, into the dining room overlooking the grounds. A few subtle baroque and contemporary touches brighten up this glamorous interior, providing the perfect foil to the chef's cuisine – traditional with modern touches. Previously a pastry chef, the talented and discreet Cyril Leclerc (who hails from Lorraine) loves premium produce. He treats it with respect –

In the upper reaches of the village, this chic hotel is home to this fine dining restaurant with an intimate style decor. Creative, within reason, the appealing seasonal set menu (available in two versions: "Dégustation" or "Potager") is a mine of great culinary ideas: Oscietra caviar, green beans with fresh thyme, vinaigrette with lobster juices; veal presented two ways: cooked rare with seaweed, and confit with savory, courgette terrine and a Crémant d'Alsace jus. Attentive service.

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

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

In the upper reaches of the village of Steige in the picturesque Villé valley, this old farmhouse inn is the canvas on which chef Yannick Guth expresses his creativity. With a focus on local ingredients (like the herbs and flowers he picks himself), the chef also works with fish from the lake (pike, zander, whitefish). Examples: whitefish in seaweed with a chickpea rouille sauce; cromesquis of pheasant, mountain lovage, parsley and mushrooms… His ingenuity can sometimes surprise, but the striking, consummate result is always succulent. The terrace (for pre-dinner drinks and coffee) overlooks a

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
