Le Relais de Riquewihr — Restaurant in Colmar-Ribeauvillé

We were a group and had a lot of different menus, and non of them were good.

The risotto was made of porridge-rice and was way too over cooked. The steaks were dry and overdone too. No tastes on the platter harmonized. The salads were unappealing and so was the dressing. Maybe the chef were sick that day, because nothing was thought through.

The appetizers had awkward tastes and nothing really worked to be honest.

The only good thing was the wine and the water.

Honestly, would not go back and please.. if you get the chance, go somewhere else as there are plenty other good restaurants...

Just went there with my wife, I ordered the special with the white asparagus with a few slices of ham and 2 sauces (no complexity). Unfortunately 4/6 asparagus pieces were not peeled at all which I didn't notice with the first bite and I almost choked(!).

Please make sure that this very fundamental kind of processing is taken care of before getting the dish out of the kitchen - especially when we're talking about the main ingredient.

What I liked was the ambience and decoratation of the restaurant.

Overall a pretty unpleasant experience in one of the most beautiful...

If you're a tourist and can't decide what to get from the French menu in two minutes they will tell you flippantly that the kitchen is now closed. No warning was issued as the menus were brought to us and they kept taking menus to other tables so they were not about to close. I would've expected a place that makes all of its money from tourists to be more polite towards them. I guess the prices are high enough to survive off the few...
