La Table du Gourmet sur Riquewihr

Wonderful place with perfect service. Incredible culinary experiences. Worth every penny.

Superb. Go here when you are in Alsace. Food: We ordered the vegetable tasting menu, which was, it appeared, the restaurant’s pearl / preferred offering. For good reasons. Each dish was creative but still refined. Flavors were familiar but elevated. For each of the ~8–10 courses, we received beautiful, composed plates. Nothing felt like it was trying to be a “meat substitute,” which we have found sometimes happens with veggie menus at other restaurants. There was no mushroom “steak,” for example. Rather, things were far more thoughtful. The tomato was at the center of our menu (made sense seasonally). As a highlight, one dish (“The umami flavour of tomatoes”) started with the server handing us a single raw cherry tomato from the restaurant’s own garden. That cherry tomato was so simple and perfect; followed by a beautiful sweet tomato crème caramel dish that was so playful and unique, rich and decadent. Our favorite plate of the evening was another tomato (“Tomato & sun vegetables”), this time dehydrated, then-rehydrated and stuffed with seasonal veggies, swimming in a deep, umami jus. Really special. More detailed descriptions in the photos. The amount of food was just right. We left more than satisfied / full but not sickeningly so, given the somewhat lighter preparations of many dishes. Though, one would not call the meal “light,” especially later courses, which often came dressed with weightier vegetable reductions. Decidedly not meat- or cream-based accompaniments, but not thin veggie water either. The bread, which came with a vegetal and pleasant fig leaf compound butter, was a nice companion for any excess sauce. We felt it was a surprisingly great value for the meal (again, not always the case for veggie menus). Service: The service team was excellent. Professional and tidy, without sacrificing warmth. Not stiff or stuffy. They seemed proud—and almost excited—about the products on each plate they placed. Two people primarily served us—a younger man and a younger blonde woman. Both were so inviting, helpful, knowledgeable, kind, etc. They presented a high level of service (in both English and French) without pretension. The chef also visiting each table to chat. The pacing of the meal was also notably strong. Anne, the sommelier, has been recognized internationally. Appropriately so. The pairings were creative, not boring or safe, the latter of which, again, is something we have experienced with veggie tastings elsewhere. She clearly has not only such a deep knowledge but also an appreciation and love for the local terroir. That showed in the choices and the massive list she curated. Atmosphere: Definitely unique. The red walls combined with the centuries-old woodwork transports you to something. Not sure what exactly. But I did not feel like I was in a sleepy French village in 2026. Much like the cuisine, the atmosphere was creative, playful, unique, and curious but also curated, elegant, beautiful, and special. Just enough outside the ordinary to raise an eyebrow. But, like the food, as soon as you take a bite, the questions stop and it all seems to work. Kind of magical. This restaurant is absolutely wonderful and worthy of all praise and then some. They are doing something different at La Table du Gourmet, and it is working. They showcase great local products in a creative way and a warm but refined setting, providing diners a sense of place and suspending the outside world for a few hours. Please just go.

Incredible food. Local and homemade products. Perfect food and wine pairings and impeccable, warm service. We highly recommend this restaurant.

Everything was exceptional. Probably one of the least commercial Michelin-starred restaurants… the vegetable base is surprising, exceptional, and unique.

Had a lovely evening here while on vacation in Alsace The service was amazing, the food was incredible and the wine was amazing. So many different surprising flavors! What I liked the most was the dish with everything from the garden. It all tasted so fresh. The pre-dessert with dill and sheep milk was also quite a surprise but such amazing flavor combinations I can definetly recommend this restaurant to anyone that lives or stays near Riquewihr!

Speak-friendly yet feels like settling down in an old friend’s home. The warm red walls around us reminded us of the colourful Riquewihr houses that we have witnessed outside yet it has its unique character that differentiates itself from the others. Very friendly team and staff were very patient to explain the wines and food in detail like an exciting moment is about to begin. Lunch here is like savouring every piece of fine art with our eyes, noses and caressing our sense of taste. The portions were very generous for the lunch set and we left with happy memories and happy stomach. It’s very difficult for us to decide which is the best dish but we love them very much. Thank you La Table du Gourmet - Restaurant Riquewihr for the lovely afternoon and congratulations to your Michelin star win. We hope to visit your restaurant next time.

Beautiful restaurant in a unique location. Surprising dishes. Pleasant and professional service, as you would expect from a Michelin-starred establishment. We had a wonderful evening.

Once again, we had an absolutely wonderful evening at La Table du Gourmet. This place possesses something rare: an intimate, warm, and deeply welcoming atmosphere. On the plate, Chef Jean-Luc Brendel expresses himself with magnificent creativity and sensitivity. Each dish is a true exploration of taste, surprising, refined, and irresistibly delicious. The exceptional work done in his garden adds another dimension to this signature cuisine: you can feel the respect for the ingredients, the seasonality, and a constant search for emotion. Every bite is a delight. Thank you to the entire kitchen team for this wonderful experience! A huge congratulations also to Anne Humbrecht, whose Michelin Guide distinction is richly deserved. Her precise, inspired, and spot-on wine selection perfectly enhances the experience. The pairings are conceived with genuine sensitivity, and conversations with her are always so enriching. Finally, a huge thank you to the entire front-of-house team. The service was friendly, attentive, professional, and genuinely warm. We had the pleasure of chatting with several members of the team throughout the evening, and this real conviviality greatly contributed to making the experience so special. What more could one ask for? Exceptional cuisine, remarkable pairings, impeccable service, and a unique atmosphere: all the ingredients are there to create a truly memorable experience. We will return again and again, with the same delight.

We just came from this wonderful meal that simply took us to seventh heaven. Not only was the food outstanding, but the staff was incredibly kind and friendly. We were there with children, which is something you often hesitate to do, but this restaurant warmly welcomed not only the adults but also our children – it was a dream!

Excellent and refined, we hadn't tried it before. Highly recommended. We will be back.
