La Flammerie - Ribeauvillé

When we asked if we could drink wine, the waitress said to us very rude to go somewhere else, because they are just a restaurant, even if the half of the tables were empty.

We had a nice lunch here yesterday. When you walk in the door, you get that old German inn atmosphere, with rich and warm wood walls, low ceilings, and cozy booths. The waitstaff was equally warm, and happy to suffer through our questions. The food...was delicious, but it must be noted that the thing here is Muenster cheese, so most of the dishes are slathered and covered with that delicious melty white stuff. This is comfort food. There isn’t a lot of subtlety here. My dish of sausages and potatoes covered with Muenster was, shall we say, the opposite of light, and I waddled out of there. Mmmmm.

Lovely terrace where you can spend ours watching the world pass bye enjoying a great beer and tasty snack.

Ate here last night and although I can't say the food was bad in terms of flavors it was reasonably tasty and the meat was tender something about these huge, fatty, meaty and cheesy meals appal me. Don't get me wrong, I love...a good hamburger, or a steak, or bacon, or a cold cut, or pork belly, I'm not a queasy type. But this is too much. To me, it's just gross. Potatoes swimming in oil, a gigantic cut of ham swimming in butter and swathed in a thick, fatty layer of skin, it just doesn't appeal to me. If I have to eat a 3000 calorie meal, I can think of so many better ways to spend those.. However, this all comes down to personal taste. Having stopped in the Alsace on the way home from Italy this meal got me missing Italy already..

We arrived close to closing but the staff was accommodating. I had the grilled duck and steak and it was perfectly cooked. It came with a super fresh green salad and frites. My niece had the rosti with cheese and lardons and it was delicious.
