Charles Schmitt sur Colmar

22/08/2026: We dined at this wine bar because we were intrigued by the very interesting five-course sharing formula. We can't say we ate badly. The only truly good dish was the zucchini carpaccio with goat cheese (just the right balance of flavors). The other two vegetarian dishes (beetroot and figs, tomatoes and watermelon) were characterless. While the last two (salmon and sliced ​​meat) had a sauce that, rather than enhancing the flavor, actually covered it. The sweetness was average. The wine was very good, nothing to complain about. But, based on the dishes we tasted, I wouldn't go back.

22/08/2026: The selection of progressive wines is absolutely top-notch – and fairly priced, too. The service was quick, extremely friendly, and very knowledgeable about wine. We received excellent advice. We also found the outdoor area very pleasant. However, what didn't quite convince us was the food. The concept of small dishes that can be shared is good in itself, as it allows you to try many different things. We also appreciated the rather minimalist approach, which avoids unnecessary frills and instead focuses on product quality. Individual dishes, like the cured salmon, were outstanding, but some – for example, the pickled beef – seemed a bit uninspired and lacked care. In conclusion: For us, a wonderful place to enjoy exceptional wines when the food is less important. Addendum: In light of Romain's reaction, I would like to emphasize again that we were not served anything here that gave us any real cause for complaint. I had already tried to present this in a nuanced way. The 3 stars I gave the food overall aren't a bad rating in my opinion. 5 stars mean something like "truly outstanding" to me, 4 stars = very good, 3 stars = still good, but with some limitations. Overall, I would have liked to give the kitchen 3.5 stars – because we did find some of the dishes very good – but that's not possible. I hope my rating is a bit clearer now.
