WISTUB BRENNER

My wife and I had a great evening here. Besides the wonderful dishes we got (the pork knuckle and particularly the gigot d'agneau) the service was outstanding. Very welcoming and friendly. The interior is cozy and warm which is a great plus. Definitely recommended.

Very disappointing experience because of the restaurants staff and hours. I’ve heard that Germans aren’t very pleasant and they definitely withheld to the reputation. When you go in the restaurant obviously looking to be seated they look at you and talk to you like you have entered their home, in shock and very uncomfortable that you have entered their business!! 😄first time we went they immediately made us switch tables but in a rude manner. Service and food took so long I don’t think I have ever waited for potatoes to come out for so long .. their menu itself was ok considering all they eat is sausages and hams they actually had some good other options. The second time we came was for dinner, mind you they open at 7 pm and we walked in at 8 pm.. I entered asking for a table clearly seeing one available inside with no reserve sign and outside 4 tables were set up for dining and with blankets. The lady looked at me like Im crazy - how dare I come to ask for dinner at 8 pm. She said they are full and it’s not possible and when I asked for outside table she said not possible not possible like I was asking her something very difficult. I honestly think this is because the restaurant is ran by cranky old ladies that spent most of the time smoking and talking when we were passing by during the days. Wouldn’t recommend this restaurant maybe if you are German and you are okay with their attitude and lack of customer service. Funny thing is they had a sign “good vibes or goodbye “ which is ironic because they don’t have good vibes…

Nice place in the heart of the old town. Great service, good food. Perfectly cooked foie gras, great steak, very tasty creme brulee. I recommend.

Good Alsatian restaurant, surprisingly not a tourist trap considering that it’s located next to the canal, near to the bridge where everyone takes their photos. I would recommend outdoor seating since part of the appeal is its location. We had a good experience with food, wine, service and atmosphere.

Great service & good food! A bit more €€ because of the tourist location but still very good menu price!

Had a great memory here☺️ definitely wonderful and delicious french cuisine 🫶🍷 Highly recommend the pie, snails, and wine.

We were looking for typical Alsatian food while we were in Colmar. We received a less-than warm welcome as we entered. We wanted to order a couple of plates to share, but were were told that that was not possible…it ended up being extremely expensive for basically a cold hot dog with chopped cheese and salads. On top of that, I tried to ask for the toilet in French, only to hear the waiter make fun of me when I was barely out of earshot. There are many other restaurants to visit than this overpriced and unwelcoming place…please go elsewhere.

We had an amazing experience at Wistub Brenner! Despite it being late at night, they welcomed us with such kindness and warmth. The food was absolutely delicious, and every dish was prepared to perfection. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. A huge thank you to the team for going above and beyond to make our visit special. Highly recommended 👍👍👍

Day trip to Colmar from Basel and decided to try out this place. We didn't make any reservations and got a table outside around noon. The waitresses spoke some English and google translate is your best friend if you have any questions on the menu. We were given two tiny balls and later realized those were complimentary food. Got the breaded Munster with smoke meats as a starter. Then two main dishes: veal's head with salad and white cabbage (sauerkraut) with smoked meats and sausages. Meats were tender but a bit too salty for me. Love the veal's head. The menu said white cabbage in white wine but it was basically sauerkraut which I'm not a fan. Service was ok.

Definitely make reservations in advance online. When we took our table the restaurant filled up and many tried to come in but were turned away. The servers spoke some English and they had menus in English as well. I started out with the Foie Gras which in my opinion was a big serving for a single person. Back in the USA that would be a spendy dish. For my main I chose the Braised pork shank which was another big serving. The pork was tender and spiced perfectly. The Spatzelés was buttery and melted in my mouth. The Apple pie was an interesting dessert. More apples than actual pie like. I can't knock any points off because I'm unsure if this traditional to the area. All in all the meal was fantastic and I'd definitely recommend this "home cooked meal" to anyone looking for a regional meal. The restaurant ambiance is warm and inviting and a nice escape from the cold raining outside.

The staff here is not very warm and not very accommodating for those not speaking French (1 star off). I do speak some French, but it is clear that I have an accent. Our waiter seemed annoyed to serve us, with a "not another tourist" attitude. Initially, I thought he was incapable of smiling, however, when he was serving a completely francophone customer, he is much nicer and even smiled! Aside from the service, the food was pretty good. We came for lunch, and although a little heavy or lunch, we ordered: * Braised ham hock with Pinot Noir sauce * Onion tart * Bibalakas (cured meats, Munster cheese curds, and baked potatoes with chives) * Crème brûlée The bone from the ham hock looked so nice that I wanted to take it home to make bone broth.

Fantastic food. Great price for the quality. Three course meal was about $45 per person. The starters wowed

Came here with a party of 5 and was refused outside seating because of "no reservation" although more than half the tables were empty. We then went on to order 4 entree and appetizer combos, as we had a small child with us. The server came back shortly and said that we would have to order another combo or entree since we had 5 people and that we could not share with the child??? Worst customer service in all of Alsace, do not come here. Furthermore, two of the members of my party got violent food poisoning a couple hours later and for the next couple of days from having the steak tartare. Unbelievable, and the Tartares were $30 . WORST restaurant in Colmar, DO NOT COME HERE!!!!!!!!!

We liked this place, even though there were some problems. - It's touristy - There's a formule menu - entree + plat for like 30 EUR, which is definitely the way to go, you get a good set of choices - I ordered wrong and I'm still mad about it: for my starter I got this salad that was cold sausages, too much shredded cheese, and too much mayo - I also ordered sausage and kraut for my main and it was just okay, I had already gotten too much sausage in my first course - The Jarret de Porc - Knuckle of Ham - sounds nasty but it was the best thing anyone got, and it came with really good Spaetzle Also: - The location is excellent, right in the "Petit Venice" district, and eating on the terrace is great - Service is spotty, there was one server we didn't like, and one of the people we were dining with was an actual French (he remarked that the Alsatian accent is noticeable). Also we saw like half of the wait staff at the Three Monkeys bar later in the evening.

I made reservations the evening before and was able to get a table for myself. I was immediately greeted and seated for my table. The service was very friendly and kind and the food was incredible. I order an Alsatian specialty coq au Riesling... since that region has such great white wines. It was so delicious and came with a side of spaetzle. I had absolutely zero complaints. The restaurant itself was quaint and small but I love that feel and the quality was great.

The Brenner is set in the "Little Venice" portion of Colmar and has a nice outdoor patio. The menu seemed a little more interesting than at the other cloned winstubs throughout town: I had an outstanding pot au feu that I would reorder any time, and the dessert (mille-feuille with chocolate mousse) was truly sublime. Service was a little harried since they have a small wait staff, but ultimately professional and got the job done. Great choice for dining in Colmar.

One of the best salade de tomate mozzarella di bufala!! The place is beautiful and the ambiance is amazing.

Suggestion, research and make reservations In Colmar before the evening dinner hour or you'll get stuck like we did. I give them 1 star... Negative stars are not an option, need to discuss with Yelp. Food is fair, I would have liked to try dessert but the service was so bad I was discussed and forced them to take my money so I could get out of there. Now I am used to slow service in Europe and being left alone for conversation and enjoying the time but they were rude and seemed to just forget the English and German speaking patrons.

My wife made reservations over a week in advance for this place. When we arrived the hostess pretended we did not have one despite my wife showing her the email confirmation from their website. The hostess still refused to honor it - becoming rude - and claimed the restaurant was full when no one was there. Luckily we found a better restaurant close by. Don't waste your time here.

Nagyon türelmesek, eloetel isteni! Hosszasan ucsorogtunk, kellenes volt! Tudom ajanlani!

Great location and a nice patio. Food is ok but the service is a deal breaker. Lazy, rude service runs the place. On a very touristic place, the staff don't... Or don't want to speak a word of english. We had to ask the things 3 times and half of them were missed. The only thing that came fast was the bill, curiously without being asked for and before 1 dish and 1 drink not delivered. A definite no return.

I would avoid this place. The wait staff were complete assholes. We wanted to sit outside and have a beer but we're told no. There was not a single person sitting outside and we couldn't sit there to have a beer?? Two employees sat smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee, too lazy to get up and sell a beer. The place next door was happy to serve us.

Great Alsacian food in a traditional setting. We thoroughly enjoyed the setting in a classic Colmar building.

Great food. Terrible, rude service. The worst in, out of France or any other country. Avoid if you value your time.
