Wistub du Sommelier

Alsace


Behind an ornate 18th-century façade lies this traditionally elegant bistro, where parquet floors, wooden beams and a Kachelofen (tiled oven) create a delightfully cosy ambience. The menu pairs fine regional wines with dishes such as choucroute garnie (sauerkraut with smoked meats) or lighter flavours like salmon with mussels in saffron sauce. The two-course €18 lunch including coffee is good value.
