“ 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 best restaurant in an alley way of Colmar. It was full of locals with friendly service. The meal began with amuse bouche and main dishes were cooked perfectly. Excellent foods above and beyond great value that cant be imagine in california. Dont miss their dessert! ”
“ 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. ”
