L'Atelier du Peintre sur Colmar

Excellent value for money for a starred restaurant! The dishes are as beautiful as they are good!

One of the best in Colmar. Absolutely worth trying! A very warm and welcoming atmosphere.

The welcome is very pleasant, the setting very beautiful and the cuisine remarkable. Exceptional flavors to discover.

This experience report is based on a family dinner for four (large menu) Contacting and making a reservation was easy, basically no problem at all. I already had to promise the restaurant a higher 3-digit amount as a deposit. If I don't show up, you can make a reservation, but I don't find it very inviting. The restaurant itself is nicely located in the old town, has only a few tables along the pedestrian zone outside and is more focused on indoor dining. Simple design in black and white with cream-colored Alcantara leather seating. The tables are also covered with faux leather. The seating is rather tighter, so the noise level can be a bit higher in the evening. The offer is well designed, various menus, but also a la carte. Unfortunately there is no wine accompaniment. The food (8-course menu for around 135 euros) tastes good and balanced, sometimes cleverly done, sometimes a bit uninspired in terms of the ingredients. The presentation is imaginative and appealing, but we found the gel with which the food is stuck to the plate when it is served to be a bit annoying. Some caviar in one course and a cheese variation could be booked as additional options for around 40 euros, increasing the price of the menu to around 173 euros per person. A suitable wine accompaniment is not offered. This weakness is reinforced by the fact that the Somelier was unfortunately in no way able to compensate for this guidance and attention to the guest in this aspect of the meal and we ultimately chose the bottled wines for our meal (between 100 and 200 euros per bottle) ourselves without any knowledge. Ultimately, all the wines we tried that day were excellent, but for me the wine pairing with the right combination for the meal represents a further dimension of star cuisine and gave us many an impressive experience, so this lack of service bothered me. In summary, it is a good restaurant with strengths and weaknesses. Personally, I would have liked some aspects better and my assessment of “only” 3 stars refers to the gourmet area and the comparison with other star restaurants and the higher demands placed on this segment. However, I wouldn't visit this restaurant regularly.

A great stop for lunch. We chose the lunch menu and were not disappointed. The faux fillet of Charolais is outstanding! First of all, the greetings from the kitchen are surprising in design, texture and taste. When we paid we loved the poppy seed appetizers. The service was also unobtrusively attentive. All in all worth the price!

My favorite restaurant in Colmar!

Nous avons déjeuné dans ce restaurant exceptionnel. La présentation des plats est impeccable. Les accords présents dans les assiettes sont justes. Le personnel est efficace et il n’y a aucune faute tout au long du repas. Ce restaurant mérite largement sont macaron Michelin.

Une cuisine d'exception dans un cadre raffiné et moderne. Personnel très professionnel, aux petits soins sans être intrusif. Nous avions opté pour le menu "Galerie Collection en 7 services". Tout était parfait : la qualité des ingrédients, les goûts (très subtils), la créativité, le dressage. La carte des vins offre de belles propositions tout en étant raisonnables en prix. Une très belle adresse qui mérite son étoile 🌟 MICHELIN.

Excellent service and delicious meal.

Une étoile qui en vaudrait plus, tant la créativité des plats, leur cuisson et leur préparation, la carte des vins et les conseils du sommelier, l'attention du personnel, etc sont au rendez-vous; un trio d'oeufs divin, un carpaccio de crevettes à la rose, aux framboises et concombre d'une saveur et d'une originalité folles, puis un homard, corps braisé et pinces en ravioles absolument excellent, le tout avec un Riesling Sommerberg Grand cru de Boxler magnifique... Excellent dîner
