The Experience

From Michelin Guide

The Grainer family has been running this stately historical inn since the 16C, and today it is Christian F. Grainer and his wife Christiane who form a real dream team at the helm! He is responsible for the exquisite and classically French cuisine, which also allows itself excursions into more modern trends; she is your dedicated hostess and sommelier. Their appealing surprise menu is stripped down to the essentials, better to maintain its focus on the premium ingredients. The intimate atmosphere in this cosy and elegant restaurant is largely down to the welcoming lady of the house, who is on hand to provide charming and accomplished service. She also has plenty of excellent wine recommendations at the ready – there are more than 1 000 different labels (including rarities and large bottles) stored in the old vaulted wine cellar.
