We had lunch at L’Essentiel in Colmar and enjoyed it overall. The setting is pleasant, with lovely touches of greenery, although some decorative elements appealed to us more than others.
The menu offers good value for money, with set menus at €26 for two courses and €29 for three. We appreciated the thoughtful touch of the complimentary amuse-bouche, a surprising and delicious corn mousse.
We generally enjoyed the starters, particularly the butternut crumble with honey and walnuts, which was very flavorful and well-seasoned. The endive, served with a blue cheese sauce and pear, was interesting, although a little more sauce and sweetness would have balanced its bitterness.
The main courses were a little less convincing, more a matter of personal taste: we would have preferred the meat to be more generously seasoned and flavored, while the texture of the gnocchi, despite its pleasant taste, didn't entirely win us over. Nevertheless, the focus on fresh ingredients and homemade cooking was evident.
Fortunately, the desserts were a real treat! The lemon meringue tart with its fresh and original basil ice cream, as well as the baked apple with speculoos and Armagnac vanilla ice cream, were delightful. These lovely combinations brought the meal to a perfect close.
In short, this is a place worth discovering, with its clever ideas, quality ingredients, and thoughtful touches. Not everything was to our liking, but ultimately, it comes down to personal preference. We left with a pleasant memory and the pleasure of having discovered this Colmar gem.

Overall, a very good experience. Impeccable service, with a superb sommelier and a very good selection of wines by the glass. The dishes were beautifully presented. The food was good, although I was expecting a little more. Admittedly, the menu description was enticing. I'll have to return to confirm.

The interior is cosy and tasteful, not overcrowded. Service was warm and friendly, we did not have to wait long for anything. The food was simply amazing, quite creative combinations executed well. Portions were good, and the suggestions for wine were most excellent. I would wholeheartedly recommend this restaurant and I would love to return.

Excellent restaurant! Everything was perfect: the welcome, the service, the ambiance, and of course, the food. The menu is posted online in advance and includes vegetarian options. I also appreciated the ability to book directly on the website. There were four of us for lunch, and we all enjoyed every dish. The portion sizes were just right. Very good value for money.
