Ah, Olivier Nasti — a name spoken in hushed tones by Michelin pilgrims and gastronomic gatekeepers alike. Set in picturesque Kaysersberg, this two-starred temple promised a decadent journey through Alsace and beyond. What it delivered, however, was more polished performance than emotional punch.
Let’s start with the venue:Undeniably beautiful. The space is a sophisticated blend of organic warmth and contemporary restraint — wooden elements from the surrounding Vosges forests set against minimalist furnishings that whisper discretion and taste. The setting evokes quiet luxury without overstating itself.
Then came the service — clinically perfect, timed to the second, and choreographed with the precision of a Swiss watch commercial. But warm? No. Charming? Not quite. It felt more like being guided through a culinary museum than being welcomed to someone’s (very expensive) table. And for €500 per person, I would have appreciated a sparkle in the sommelier’s eye and perhaps a story or two about the cheese.
Now, a small but glaring detail: water stains on the wine glasses. In any restaurant this would be a slip; at this level, it's a sin. At €1,000 per couple, I expect my stemware to glisten like the crystal dreams of a Reims heiress.
As for the food — solid. Sometimes delightful. But rarely transcendent.
The hors d’oeuvre were the undeniable stars: a clever, charming ode to Alsace with escargots, flammkueche, and miniature miracles of regional flair. If the rest of the menu had followed suit, I’d be raving.
The eel? Silky and nuanced. The asparagus and fish? Both executed with poise. And the venison tartar was, frankly, divine — robust yet refined, the kind of dish that makes you forget you’re halfway through a 12-course marathon.
But then the cracks began to show. The chicken dish arrived and tasted like something you'd find in a respectable countryside inn — not a culinary destination with global ambitions. And the strawberry dessert? Pleasant but uninspired, the sort of finale that says, “You've had enough magic — now here’s some fruit.”
FINAL VERDICT:La Table d'Olivier Nasti is a well-oiled machine of regional grace and gastronomic technique. But soul? Surprise? Joy? They were missing. A beautiful evening, yes — but not a memorable one. And certainly not one that justifies €1,000 for two.
Would I return? Perhaps. But not on my dime. And not with romantic illusions of Michelin fireworks.

Very good restaurant, waiter and sommelier took great care of us. Mr. Nasti was also there to check if everything was going well. The starter, main course, dessert, appetizer, and more were excellent. I highly recommend going there, even for your first experience in fine dining.
A wonderful experience!!

Dining at La Table d’Olivier Nasti is not simply a meal, but a powerful narrative told through flavor, craftsmanship, and terroir. The L’Expression tasting menu is a masterful journey through Alsace, reimagined by a chef at the height of his creative power.
The evening began with “Alsace in a few bites,” an elegant amuse-bouche trilogy that set the tone—pure, local, and exquisitely precise. Courses like “Green Style” Eel glazed with citrus fruit and French-style braised peas with Oscietre caviar showcased the chef’s balance between restraint and depth.
The roe deer petals, a tribute to local hunts, and the Lake Geneva Féra with fish charcuterie were striking in originality and execution. Perhaps the most astonishing was the summer venison, accented with oyster brine and mousseron cream—an audacious, deeply umami dish that lingered long after the last bite.
Desserts felt equally inspired: flamed Burlat cherry over embers and Saint-Riquier rhubarb with Tasmanian pepper brought acidity, smoke, and floral notes together in perfect harmony.
From the wild herbs and forest mushrooms to the poetic use of rhubarb and cherry wood embers, Olivier Nasti doesn’t just cook Alsace—he expresses it with soul.

We had the pleasure of celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary last December in this magnificent two-star restaurant, and what an experience! From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped by an elegant and warm atmosphere. Each dish was a true work of art, combining creativity, sublime flavors and exceptional products. The food was simply incredible, an explosion of tastes in every bite.
Special mention to the sommelier, whose wise advice enhanced every moment of the meal — a perfect food and wine pairing from start to finish. We will remember this exceptional evening for a long time. A huge thank you to the entire team for this unforgettable experience!

Sunday lunch at La Table d’Olivier Nasti, in a group of 10 — a very nice culinary experience overall. The cuisine is undoubtedly the establishment's strong point: the dishes are perfectly executed, the flavor combinations are just right, and the aesthetics of the dishes demonstrate great know-how. You can feel the rigor and passion in the kitchen.
The service, although courteous and professional, at times lacked fluidity and the discreet precision that one expects in a restaurant of this standing. This did not spoil the meal, but created a slight discrepancy with the excellence of the dishes.
Finally, if the quality is present, the price positioning may seem ambitious, especially for those who have already experienced other gastronomic restaurants of the same level.
