Les meilleurs restaurants en Saint-Joachim

29/05/2026: Our experience at La Mare aux Oiseaux was mixed. The welcome was good, and we were seated on the terrace, which, admittedly, has a beautiful setting. However, seven times throughout lunch, we were defecated by bird droppings that had settled directly above our table (including one dropping that fell into a glass of water). While these inconveniences were not the fault of the establishment, no compensation or solution (such as changing tables or removing the birds) was offered, despite our repeated complaints. This spoiled our meal, as we were constantly worried about another dropping. We weren't even offered complimentary coffee to ease our dissatisfaction. We didn't find this to be what one would expect from a Michelin-starred restaurant. As for the food, the dishes were well-prepared, without any mistakes, but also without any surprises. The food and wine pairing surprised us and introduced us to new flavors. The service was very attentive (numerous servers) and welcoming, although it felt a bit like a rehearsed, mechanical routine. The real highlight was the discovery of the food and wine pairing, which delighted and surprised us.

27/05/2026: A magical interlude. Magnificent setting. Very attentive and friendly staff. Extraordinary dinner. Time seems to stand still. Everything is perfect.
