A la Chaume de mon Père (Table bistronomique) — Restaurant in Saint-Dié-des-Vosges

Completely overrated by tripadvisor this is a restaurant located in an old converted shop with old shabby interior. The atmosphere is less than in a students canteen and the menus are loose papersheets which already went through thousands of hands. There is disturbing loul music from a bluetooth speaker, all dust and smoke from the kitchen directly goes into the guests room, no chance for fresh air if the door is not open.

I would not recommend this restaurant as in average you will leave with a bill of 40€ p.p. which is neither justified by the location nor the food...

Lastly, I really, really liked the idea of a surprise menu. 110% recommended if you’re around Gérardmer (vegetarian and vegan...

A real gem ! Definitely one of the best restaurants in the Gerardmer area. The food was truly delicious. You get to choose the number of courses 3, 4, 5 or 6), but you will not know what you will get until it is served. Of course you can let them know about allergies or food restrictions if you have any. Everything we had was excellent. Seasonal products, very well prepared, and deliciously tasty. The wine pairings were spot-on , I'd advise to pick that option. Service was very kind and helpful. Just be aware that the amount of tables is rather limited, so make sure you book...
