We ordered a foie gras as entree, not great. As main course the choucrute that was indicated as speciality of the house was horrible. The other main course was the duck which was good.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and fluently speaking English. We took the menu 5 courses at 75€ clearly too overpriced for what we got. 2 amuses (gazpacho of melon/ Thai shrimps) very average : amuses should get the tone of the dinner and we started to be disappointed. First starter of langoustine and mango: veery simple strange consistency of the langoustine. Second starter foie gras: excellent. Main: lam excellent. Then 2 desserts: first with tropical fruits but the dominant note was mango (again) the second a monotone of raspberry in every form without any phantasy. Very kind was to get coffee sweets even without ordering coffee … guess! Mango jelly and raspberry marshmallow …. It would have been better to order a la carte and probably location too much touristic. When joking we said the chef likes mango, the staff was pretty defensive. At the end spent 201€ with one good bottle but not really gastronomic experience
