    A nightmare. I booked through TheFork, where a specific menu was clearly shown. When we arrived, we were given a completely different menu — none of the listed dishes were available, and almost everything contained mushrooms. They do not ask for allergies, and they said they couldn’t remove a single ingredient, so we ordered the only two dishes left. Then it became unbelievable. The owner told us we were “required” to order two dishes per person. When we asked where this rule was written, she said she decides when and to whom it applies because “it’s her place”. When we calmly questioned it, she shushed us, putting her finger to her mouth and laughing at us in front of all her staff. Humiliating and unprofessional. She then invented another rule: if we didn’t order two dishes each, we’d have to pay an extra £15 per person — a fee not written anywhere. Moments later, she kicked us out in front of everyone. Not surprisingly, it was the only empty restaurant in Colmar. Avoid, believe me.

    The cuisine was innovative and very good, but the service was cold and indifferent and service is a huge part of dining out for me (especially at a Michelin star restaurant). I've dined at many Michelin star restaurants over the years, but this experience left me feeling like an anonymous guest. It may have been a language issue, but we both speak some French and we are very patient, polite and friendly people. It's too bad because I was really looking forward to this experience.

    Our first time in Colmar and we chose to have lunch here after reading all the reviews. This place did not disappoint . We had the 3 course lunch menu and what an awesome meal it was!! From start to finish the dining experience was truly incredible. The combination of flavors were really creative and delicious. Would highly recommend this place for sure.

    A truly wonderful experience! As first-timers at a Michelin-star restaurant, we could never have imagined that food could taste so incredible. Every dish was an explosion of diverse flavors and textures, turning every bite into a dream. This experience was something completely new, leaving me questioning the meaning of life and whether I had ever truly understood what real food is. Therefore, I really recommend everyone to visit this place!

    Was one exceptional gourmet evening ! The food was not a simple food. Was a nice story about food. All was supreme quality, the service was realy good, the evening was memorabile. And that is very difficult in one small city where everybody look for alsacian food. I recomand this place and if you have the posibility to choice it, just do it !

    Each plate was a piece of art, creative use of common ingredients. But wine service was awkward, topping off full glasses and leaving others at the table with empty glasses.

    Embark on a French culinary experience in the heart of Colmar, close your eyes with every bite and be transported to another world. An Amazing range of flavors and aesthetic displays of food “art” . We enjoyed every dish and we forgot about time. Thank you. Merci

    I took my mother to this restaurant to celebrate her 80th birthday. She absolutely loved it. The food was amazing and the staff were engaging and very charismatic. The whole experience was one of the I've had. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a great meal and truly enjoy the best Alsace has to offer.

    Cozy restaurant in the old part of COLMAR. Service was perfect, so was the food. But: taxis are a very hard find in Colmar. We got lucky to find one, but then were stuck there. In the snow I walked back to the hotel, got the car and relied on the GPS. The third attempt was successful… no fault of the restaurant, but guests should be made aware.

    One of the best dining experiences we've had. Everything was excellent, and we were full when we left, which is not always the case with fine expensive dining. It was worth every Euro, and we'll be back!

    The online booking for one person only was really easy, I was surprised as some restaurants take a minimum of 2 people. Lovely atmosphere (I sat outside), excellent food and service. Highly recommended

    Everything was perfect at our wine-tasting oriented dinner at L'Atelier du Peintre. From the welcome at the front door to the very professional service and the delightfully delicious and beautifully presented food. The sommelier quickly tuned into what we wanted and we enjoyed a couple of bottles he served us blind. We had such confidence in his excellent taste. Calling round multiple taxi firms to ensure we could get back to the hotel showed how much they cared for us!

    I enjoyed my experience overall at L'Atelier du Peintru. The ambience and presentation of the food were wonderful. The scallops were a standout dish. However, I felt that some dishes needed more refinement. In particular, the desserts were often too sweet which overpowered more subtle flavors. I will confess I was slightly disappointed in this restaurant because despite its reputation and the price, it was not my best meal during this trip to Colmar. That distinction belongs to Les Racines. I expected a restaurant that earned a Michelin star with a dedicated menu they should have perfected to outcompete my other restaurant experiences in the same small city, but alas it did not. I don't regret dining here, but wouldn't go out of my way to return.

    Amazing restaurant. Excellent food, for example the “perdreau” (partridge) was exceptional, very well cooked and very tasty. The wine was very good too: excellent Crozes Hermitage red and organic, Riesling… The dessert, pavlova, was just exceptional. The service was very good, very efficient and nice. This restaurant worths stars in Michelin guide.
