La Musardiere - Colmar

The place was lovely, the typical Alsatian dishes were pretty good, I loved le rognon and the local pinot noir. The staff was very kind and they suggested us to not take too many things because of the richness of Alsatian kitchen, I really appreciate that, it was against their profit.

We'd had a big day driving around the Black Forest and were all tired and hungry, so chose this as it was close to our apartment and had a few spare tables. We expected it wouldn't be great as it is in such a touristy area yet was relatively reasonably priced. It was ok. The food came out quickly, the kids meal came out first, and the food was fine, but not great. The waiters were polite and efficient if not friendly. It started to lightly rain on a warm evening, none of the waiters nor the owner closed the awnings even though it was raining on people and their food, until a guest asked for it to be closed. The house Pinot noir was awful. The menu has English as well which is helpful. You need to ask for what you want (extra drinks, bill etc), they are unlikely to offer it.

We arrived here, where there was a table for 4, after a long journey. It was a lovely summer night and we sat out on the terrasse opposite. Our order was taken quick enough by the waiter but was told the chef wasn’t doing pizza that night, but a waitress corrected him and said he was. We ordered a carafe of pinot blanc and was surprised when a bottle was placed on the table but was told it contained the same amount, the waiter didn’t serve the wine. It was getting late and you could tell the waiter and waitresses were tired, hot and ready to finish. Their pizzas are normally served with a salad but even after asking, they didn’t arrive. All in all, we took this experience lightly and with humour, we were after all on holiday. We compared our waiter to Basil Fawlty which fitted him well... In our experience the food was fine.

I came here for dinner during week day. I was pretty satisfied with the food. The menu said 25.50€ but they had it on sale 19.90€ for the 3 course meal. The starter with salad and onion tarte was the best of all. I could have had more. The main was choucroute with 3 kinds of meat. I don't really like meat but since I am in Alsace I had to try it once. The portion was too big for me but I saw the guys next to me finish it all so I guess it was just me and I could tell it's pretty decent local dish. The dessert forêt noir was okay but i had better and i was anyway already too full for it. I was pretty satisfied but I am a bit surprised to see the comments.

We sat at their outside terrace across the street and enjoyed a lovely assorted cheese plate for 8 euros which was plenty to share foe two alond with a Demi carafe of Riesling which allowed people watching and enjoying the great weather. Great attentive service.
