Thierry Schwartz - Le Restaurant

Thierry Schwartz, who describes himself as an Alsace native by birth and at heart, believes that nature's rightful place is at the centre when it comes to cooking. This ethos is borne out by his commitment to local producers and by his title of Officer of France's Order of Agricultural Merit. To set the scene: think lots of wood, seasonal vegetables on display and a log-burning fire. Thierry concocts three remarkable set menus in which the produce (from Alsace and permaculture) is sufficient in and of itself: pure spelt, arctic char, wild sorrel, organic farm eggs... to be washed down with a fine, natural wine. The choice is yours – from the 1,500-strong list!

La Boulangerie at the restaurant's address

• The restaurant operates a separate in-house bakery, La Boulangerie, at 7 rue du Marché in Obernai, with its own hours (Tue–Sun 07:00–17:00; open Mondays during Christmas market). This vertical integration extends the dining experience beyond the main dining room.

A nature-forward culinary philosophy: La nature & le geste

• The restaurant frames its cuisine around 'La nature & le geste' and 'La cuisine Nature,' highlighting a nature-inspired approach and the artistry/gesture of cooking as core to its Michelin-starred dining.

Ephemeral concepts and collaborations: Éphémère and Maréchal des Contades

• The site features an 'Éphémère' concept and a reference to 'Maréchal des Contades,' suggesting that the restaurant hosts temporary culinary concepts or pop-ups in addition to its main menu, signaling ongoing experimentation and novelty.
