We arrived in Colmar in the afternoon. Since many restaurants were not open, we tried to eat the restaurant recommended by the hotel staff. It can be said that it was amazing, better than any restaurant we ate in Paris. It’s even more delicious (maybe my wife and I don’t understand the three Michelin stars in Paris), but this simple and authentic French cuisine is very appetizing to us. I strongly recommend fish、lamb chops, and grilled brulee. We didn’t order steak. Because I've given up on finding good steaks in France

We had a wonderful evening, incredibly tasty food, great wine recommendations and outstanding service. Upon entering we felt welcomed and cared about, the interior is fantastic & the menu offers a lot of choices. Besides the great food one really must notice again the attentive service. We’ll be back once we’re in Colmar again!

Le 20ème Colmar is a charming local spot outside the main touristic area — a real gem with delicious food and a cozy atmosphere. We truly enjoyed the quality of the dishes and the relaxed setting. However, the service could have been a bit more attentive, as at times we felt a bit forgotten (our water and coffee never arrived). Still, it’s a lovely place with great potential, and we’d be happy to give it another try in the future.

It was the best restaurant in Colmar for us. The rating here make no sense. We ate so bad in restaurants 4,8 and up. This place deserved at least 4,8 rating. Great and fast service, delicious food, great decor.

Very good food and sophisticated ambience. It was also possible to find a place for dinner while reserving only half an hour in advance on a weekend. The menu was a bit confusing (the starters and mains weren't marked) but all fine in the end

The experience was no one we had before. The concept is so intriguing, for €45 pp you can choose a first and main course with dessert. We choose both different dishes and we loved each bite. The chef has the balance in taste and you can love the passion of the food. The service was good, nice servants very helpful (we don’t speak any french). We had help to translate the menu so we could choose. Thank you for this amazing evening!
