“ I dined at this restaurant in 2018 with my friend when I visited the town. I always think about coming back to this restaurant whenever I visit the town again. Finally, today I managed to revisit the restaurant. Luckily, we made a reservation one week ahead, as the restaurant is quite popular. Let the pictures speak for themselves; it is definitely a hidden gem. I noticed that we were the only non-French guests, which I see as a good sign. It doesn’t bother me at all that the staff speaks little English. What’s more important is that I will never be disappointed by their food quality and service. I will definitely come back again soon. ”
“ We dined at Les Racines on 26 May. Before we left, we booked in for the 28th. The highest honor I can bestow. I will share my main course this evening so I can save room for dessert. ”
“ A nice little place tucked away outside of the old town and the tourist hordes. As usual, I was a bit early, but they seated me and took my order promptly. I had a tomato and burrata salad with melon and a rabbit risotto, both dishes, outstanding. The kindly owner seemed very anxious to know if I enjoyed the meal. All in all one of the best meals I've had in France so far! (Oh, and I almost forgot the two glasses of wine they recommended were also both excellent) ”
“ We loved this place. The pictures don’t do them justice. The food was amazing and surprised us although we already had high expectations going to a French restaurant during the holidays :) Highly recommend when you’re in Colmar but make sure you reserve a table in advance! ”

“ The food is delicious and quite nontrivial to my non-sophisticated taste. Atmosphere is very pleasant. Minor issue: be prepared for lack of English speaking. ”
“ This restaurant was definitely underrated. Foods and beverages served are exceptionally excellent! Ordered for Risotto and Duck , they were super! Besides the portion was huge for its price. Definitely recommended. ”
