"One of the best meals I’ve had in a long time. Waiters kind and attentive, didn’t bother us during the meal, but available if needed. A cozy atmosphere on a very touristy Christmas market Saturday night in December."

"We only had a few hours in Colmar and thankfully this was the first restaurant to open for lunch in the area. Their signature steak and fries comes with a side of salad and is perfectly seasoned, the salad is basic greens with mild sauce that compliments the food really well and the French fries served with the steak are cooked to perfection. The pricing with the drink was below what we had expected for quality of meat we were served which is +++ Staff are helpful and atmosphere is cozy, families are also welcome into the restaurant."

"The food was good and the service was appropriately fast. I had the veal steak, which was a little overcooked. But, it was still great. The staff are friendly and spoke English well. If you favorite place in Colmar is packed, don't hesitate to look here for supper."

"Had a craving for rabbit meat and upon research, this restaurant was identified. Reached the restaurant shortly after they open at 7pm and the outside area was already fully occupied. So my wife and I took a table inside. I ordered a bottle of Cremant and 1 escargot, a main salad which included rabbit terrine and duck foie gras. My wife ordered the white asparagus which came with 2 ham types. 15 minutes later, the waiter informed us that a table outside had left and offered us the able outside which we were glad to accept with the weather at 20 degrees Cº. The escargot was delicious with the bread. The 2 mains were large portions even though they were mainly vegetable meals. The rabbit terrine and the foie gras portion that came with the salad was delicious and large enough for 2 persons but I devoured it all myself . Glad I took the chance even though some of reviews weren't good. I'm unlikely to visit Colmar again so I wish them all the best as I will certainly return to this restaurant if I do"
