The Brasserie Historique attached to the historic Hotel La Maison des Tetes in Colmar is not to be missed.
From the moment you see the Hotel property from the street and sidewalk, you are struck with the history of the place as you approach and see the historical markers confirming and informing more details of that history. Understand the Hotel La Maison des Tetes Colmar has two restaurants co-located on the premises. The Michelin Star rated Restaurant Girardin has garden seating when the weather beckons and superb cuisine I imagine.
However, the more feasibly priced Brasserie Historique delivers and I cannot imagine missing the Michelin rating when you see the ham, bacon, and sausage platter with potatoes, sauerkraut and pickles I devoured in the pictures. The boiled potatoes are soft and buttery. The definitively German influenced kraut is more sweet, than sour. The Weisswurst and Bratwurst are spot on and must be accompanied by the required spicy mustard. The bacon and chunk of haxe are so tender and with a hint of smoke. Are you drooling? I am recalling this masterpiece of a pork platter I call the Alsatian Avalanche and it will leave you satisfied and satiated. The pictures don't lie. Accompanied by some good beer on tap always in rotation and seasonally, your palate and stomach will feel and taste the German influence that is a historically sensitive matter in this part of France.
The atmosphere is warm and welcoming as was our server. The experience is rewarding to your palate, your olfactory and visual senses. This is a place to which I would return easily in Colmar and I highly recommend the Brasserie Historique if you are in Colmar. This is one of the better Yelp four star ratings I can give and I can imagine many people would give it a higher rating. I welcome your feedback and comments. Sante!
