Alsace is just a foodie paradise. I can’t get enough! This time we went to restaurant Gavroche, close to the place d’Austerliz, a vivid, joyful area of the city.
Gavroche is situated in a small side street, about 15 seatings, so be ready to make your reservation on time. The decor is modern with touches of Japanese influences. From the design to the whiskey bottles, to the dishes. A mention to the lovely staff is also in order, particularly the maitre was an attentive and dedicated personality, which we all appreciated very much.
Let’s talk about the food though.

Starting with an amouse-bouche based of mackerel and a delicious bisque d’homard. I particularly enjoyed this first course and the product respect.
***
Next i opted for the langoustines (scampi) gyoza with rhubarb, daikon (a wintertime mild flavored radish), cherries and a cold grey crevettes (crangon crangon) consommé with fermented miso. I particularly enjoyed the contrast in flavors and the cold consommé was refreshing.
***
Follows a fantastic homard bleu, chorizo, seashells façon paella adjusted by a pinch of saffron from the region. What a delightful, intense course.
***
All good things come to an end, let’s be it sweet. A light and delicate dessert, white and yellow peach in different textures, crumble and napolitaine joghurt, strawberry.
