In Riquewihr, Jean-Luc Brendel has built up an entire ecosystem: in addition to his fine dining restaurant, he has a modern winstub and also offers luxurious guestrooms for overnight stays. At La Table du Gourmet, in the heart of the medieval city, the chef cooks beautiful seasonal ingredients with great care and a dash of creativity, making each dish his own. His set menu showcases produce from his garden (tended according to the principles of permaculture) such as the delicious Petrowski turnip, served with humanely-reared veal, cooked over the embers. Two wine lists, the first dedicated to the fines wines of Alsace, and all this to be enjoyed in surroundings that combine olde worlde charm (the building dates back to the 16C) with contemporary decorative touches.
