We had a really wonderful meal at Restaurant le 17. We noticed its offering board as we walked through Mulhouse's old city, keeping an eye out for a place to have a midday meal. The daily offering and a menu posted next to it enticed us, and we followed the arrow down Rue Palle until we found the restaurant and asked if it was open for a midday meal.
The place seemed just to be opening, but they kindly seated us at a comfortable outside table and we ordered some Alsatian Riesling, which turned out to be very good — I never saw the label, so don't have that information to share.
One of our group ordered the plat du jour, a faux filet of beef served wtih potatoes dauphinoise and mushroom sauce, with a dessert of pineapple crumble. The other person in the group and I ordered onion soup. The waiter told us the soup would take some 10 minutes to cook, but the actual waiting time was more like 40 minutes — and that was fine with us, because we enjoyed sitting outside and were not in a rush.
When the food came, we all thought it was outstanding, as was the pineapple crumble that followed, which we all shared. I'd highly recommend this unpretentious little restaurant serving traditional French items in the heart...
Read moreRestaurant Le 17 is an excellent place with outstanding service. A special thank you to our waiter, Adrian — he was kind, attentive, helpful, and his recommendations were absolutely spot-on. The wine he suggested — an Alsatian Riesling — was exquisite: a beautiful mineral character, refreshing yet pleasantly dry. Truly a perfect choice.
The food was beyond praise. The scallops as a starter were perfectly prepared and full of flavor. For the main course, I had the duck breast, which was superb — tender and rich. The perch fillet with risotto was a true masterpiece, and the pork knuckle was a classic done just right — hearty and satisfying.
Prices are very reasonable considering the high quality of both food and service.
Highly recommended to anyone visiting the area — a memorable...
