Restaurant de L'Ecluse 16 sur Altwiller

What a lovely restaurant, delicious food, a real treat. Friendly and professional service. They deserve a star soon.

A beautiful restaurant by the canal. A hidden gem among our friends, waiting to be discovered. A chic and understated restaurant with refined cuisine! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and even went back! A great place to share

An excellent meal, both refined and delicious. Bravo to the chef, and a big thank you to the waitresses for their kindness.

Very friendly staff and excellent food.

Just before the end, we spontaneously got something to eat after all.

A small family celebration with a fantastic four-course meal. A good mix of flavors, with excellent nuances in each course. The canal next door invited the youngsters to watch the lock operation.

We had a wonderful evening at Lock 16. The meal was delicious and the service impeccable, with a touch of humor that made the experience even more enjoyable.

A truly wonderful experience, from the quality of the food and the professionalism of the staff to the warm welcome and the beautiful setting. Thank you for these delightful culinary discoveries. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal and highly recommend this establishment.

Thursday, July 23, 2026 Lunch for four people - 65 Euros per person Beautiful house located on the banks of the Canal des Houilleres in a peaceful and bucolic setting. Minimal welcome, restrained and unfriendly this Thursday. Feverish service. If, as announced, a set menu is requested, all guests must agree on the same menu for everyone. To choose freedom and share tastes and preferences, we can all order à la carte. We chose the set menu for the table, which allows for individual adjustments if you opt for fish, increasing the price by 20% or more if you prefer the cheese course to dessert. The directive order-taking, with a stern expression, was pleasantly softened by the smile of an attentive young waitress who brought us the aperitif. Muscat, Crémant, and Pinot Noir by the glass were Excellent. An aperitif/cocktail/non-alcoholic wine would be welcome. The wine list offers reasonable prices and a selection by the glass that fairly represents different regions and grape varieties. Beautiful tableware and perfect timing of service; the presentation of the dishes will please the eye and delight those who feed their smartphones. Fresh starters with soothing flavors. No quick cooking here. The main courses, cooked slowly and meticulously (sous vide?), ensure a tender veal rump, but a somewhat muted flavor. Those who appreciate pronounced aromas, flavorful roasted notes, and olfactory pleasures will find it difficult to satisfy. The chef was kind enough to inform us if he practices batch cooking. The dishes are accompanied by a plethora of ramekins offering mousses, purées, sabayons, and concassés, omitting fresh vegetables. The dessert Morello cherries on shortbread win the day with their indulgent flavors. Reasonable prices - around 65 Euros per person. Many will praise the concept, but the somewhat stiff atmosphere, menu, and service during our visit, along with an optimized cooking method that masked certain flavors, left us with a mixed impression that only partially reflected the proverbial warmth, generosity, authenticity, and spirit of sharing that are the soul of the gastronomy of this beautiful region of Alsace.

Everything was perfect, we'll be back!
