Restaurant Julien Binz — Restaurant in Colmar-Ribeauvillé

Excellent service and amazing food accompanied by soft Sade music. As the only non-French speakers in the house, we were treated with plenty of respect by a charming staff with adequate English speaking capabilities.

The food was absolutely amazing: a first course of Foie Gras topped with a rhubarb gelatin, then an amazing fish course accompanied by white asparagus w/ a home smoked beurre blanc, a perfectly cooked sous vide filet mignon, and an amazing dessert served in a hollow white chocolate sphere that melted with the application of a hot raspberry puree. All in all, a delightful rainbow of unusual but coordinated tastes. Expensive - yes, worth it - absolutely. (Though in hindsight, i would have passed on the tiny 25 Euro glasses of champagne)

I booked our reservation last minute through Google at a time when neither the restaurant's website or "TheFork" showed any availability. I fully expected to arrive with apologies that a table was not actually available but no such thing happened. We were seated immediately. Parking was easy as was the short drive from Colmar.

As we were leaving, we were asked to pause to speak the Julien who came out to bid us adieu. He speaks very little English but seemed to understand our praises well enough.

Out of this world experience. We were just planning a quick visit to Ammerschwihr, when we saw this restaurant and had to have a look. You normally need a reservation here, but we were lucky and the receptionist let us in and found us a table. Then it was off to an amazing culinary journey for the next couple of hours. The food is so delicious and wonderfully presented. They even made up a vegetarian menu for me. It would take me too long to mention every dish we had, but suffice to say that everything was excellent. The service was exceptional as well. Manon took excellent care of us, explaining every dish as it was presented. Her colleagues also made sure we had everything we needed. Ammerschwihr is a very short drive from Colmar, so if you are in the area, give your taste buds the joy they deserve, make a reservation and eat at Julien Binz at least once...

Absolutely amazing, one of the best meals i’ve ever had - the staff was kind and amazing, and the food was absolutely astounding. The wine pairing recommendations and sommelier was next level and a true joy- and chef Julien is kind and wonderful, and is a true artist with flavor and presentation- we’re still talking about our meal, and had an absolutely amazing time here, thank you so so much!!! One very important note- Uber’s and taxis are very hard to come by in town, especially later at night, so definitely drive or have a taxi worked out beforehand. Don’t skip on this one if you’re in or anywhere near the lovely Alsace...
