Au Relais des Ménétriers sur Ribeauville

I have travelled the world extensively over 40 years. I ate at all restaurants ranging from pop & mom’s to Michelin three stars. This is my honest review of the restaurant Au Relais des Ménétriers in Ribeauvillé, Alsace, France. This restaurant is located about a 5-minute walk from the entrance of the old town of this beautiful village, making it very easy to reach while still feeling pleasantly calm. The tables are well spaced, allowing for comfortable conversations, and the service is friendly, smiling, and attentive throughout the meal. We had the opportunity to try the Baeckeoffe au canard, a specialty made with duck, baked in a terrine-style mold and served with a generous selection of vegetables. The dish was both very flavorful and surprisingly light, with duck that was incredibly tender, clearly benefiting from the slow cooking in this cake-mold-shaped cocotte. We also ordered the matelote of perch, wrapped in a very fine pastry and served with a delicious sauce. Both dishes are emblematic of Alsatian cuisine and were executed with great care and precision. We finished with a chocolate moelleux for dessert, which was rich and satisfying. Considering the quality of the food, the setting, and the service, the prices are very reasonable. All in all, a restaurant I can highly recommend to anyone visiting Ribeauvillé and looking for authentic, well-executed Alsatian dishes in a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere.

Our second visit to this restaurant and still a pleasant surprise.

What can I say... incredible, I loved it. Exceptional value for money and service. We had a wonderful time and will be back very soon. Thank you.

A wonderful discovery with original, fresh dishes, delicious and high-quality cuisine, and beautiful presentation…from appetizer to dessert. A big thank you to the entire team. We will definitely return on our next trip to the region.

A truly excellent restaurant! The welcome was warm, the service superb, and the decor was lovely. The menu featured seasonal dishes, and the meal was fantastic from start to finish (cheese). The quality and quantity of the ingredients, along with the presentation and service, were all top-notch. 👍👍👍 It was refined and delicious! We'll definitely be back when we're next in the area.

Wow, that was fantastic! It might not be wise to say this, but I haven't experienced such phenomenal value for money in a long time. All the dishes, from appetizer to dessert, combined different flavors in a wonderful way. We will definitely be back!

A wonderful restaurant. Excellent food. Very fair prices. Too fair for such a fantastic dining experience. They had one of the best desserts of my life. I will definitely be back. I wish this restaurant many customers!

Excellent discovery! Absolutely incredible food, pleasant atmosphere, elegant setting.

We received a very warm welcome from the staff, who remained attentive throughout our stay. The restaurant is tastefully decorated. The wine selection is excellent, and the menu is simply delicious. A feast for both the eyes and the palate. This restaurant is a must-visit when in Ribeauvillé.

We had a great three course lunch there with traditional, local cuisine on gourmet level. I loved the potato croquettes which I haven’t had since my child hood and excellent home made “spätzle”. The meat in the main course - Roasted and sliced ​​Charolais beef fillet, Pinot Noir and shallot sauce, confit vegetables, Parmesan potato croquettes - was fantastic. We loved the à la carte dessert - grantinee of fresh figs and raspberries with fromage blanc ice cream flavored with orange blossoms.
