Au Gourmet

Ludovic Kientz (who previously worked at Au Crocodile in Strasbourg under the great Émile Jung) and sommelier Sandie Ling (his partner, ex Michel Bras notably) have turned this country inn set in a large garden into a taste sensation. The chef takes obvious pleasure in preparing seafood and sauces, plus vegetables from his own garden, in a classic style of cooking with a modern twist. For instance, scallop carpaccio with young vegetables, caviar, quinoa salad and lime gel; or duck fillet, truffled potato, red wine jus spiked with ginger and juniper berries.
