There are more than 30 restaurants in Riquewihr. Many people believe that in places with many tourists you can only find overpriced basic food. How wrong! Many restaurants means a tough competition. The restaurant that would overprice a poor quality offer would soon be out of business.

Here are some places where I like to have a lunch or a dinner and so do people living here in the area. Beside good food they offer excellent local wines at decent prices. The restaurants are listed in alphabethical order. All of those addresses are in the village, within easy walking distance from our holiday apartments. In most of the restaurants you will be allowed to bring your dog with you. Just ask before.

Au Trotthus

Au Trotthus – 9 rue des Juifs in Riquewihr – Tel 03 89 47 96 47
Walk up to the Dolder tower and take the small lane beside the fountain, heading for the Tour des Voleurs. The restaurant ‘Au Trotthus’ is hidden at the end of this narrow street. The chef Philippe Aubron spent some 17 years in Japan where he was a well-known French chef.  His gourmet cuisine, inventive and refined, will satisfy the most demanding palates.
