Around and about Obernai

It was a busy Saturday afternoon: lots of tourists (many were German), as well as locals out walking the dog and quite a few weddings.  Below are a few shots.

 The building John is standing outside is the restaurant we went  to on Saturday night.  It  featured lots of local produce and wine, and had a Michelin star.  The threatre began on arrival, when  the small basket with your bread was  whisked off to be baked and the knife sitting on your napkin was unsheathed!  The food was very hearty.  We opted for a five course tasting menu which gave us both some challenges: John wasn’t big on the rabbit terrine    and the monkfish course was just cooked – and no more! The veal was lovely and the desert featured pumpkin caramel  – which was tastier than it sounds.   The food was matched with local wines – which we enjoyed, including the local version of champagne – cremant..

  
Macarons are a local specialty..
