Restaurant le Moréote sur Kaysersberg

03/03/2026: We had the five-course menu in the evening. The amuse-bouche was a trio of pickled onions, smoked wild boar, and herbs on moss—nothing particularly stood out. This was followed by potato mousse with a wonderful consistency and lightness, a very delicate flavor, and a lovely sensory experience thanks to the tiny garlic croutons. The subsequent pickles—various pickled vegetables—were too acidic for my taste and not a suitable start to the meal. The catfish from the Rhine with vegetable broth, pine aroma, and radicchio was somewhat bland in flavor and too natural in its aroma. The main course was a very good cut of beef, accompanied by Jerusalem artichokes prepared in two different textures. Here, too, a bit more flavor would have been desirable. As preparation for dessert, an interesting "Eau de Plantes" infusion with a medicinal-tasting oil was served. Not sweet. For dessert, fennel with chocolate—a very tasty combination. The other small desserts were also very successful. The evening brought surprises with highs and lows; overall, all courses were prepared with great care and effort – however, there remained the feeling that the naturalness of the ingredients was emphasized too much and the aromatics were lacking.
