Make reservations to sip the perfect glass of wine and nosh Flammenküche (Alsatian “pizza”, caramelized onion, lardons, crème fraîche) or the Gnocchi Gratinés au Fromage (French-style gnocchi, wild mushrooms, caramelized onions, Comté cheese) or the Cassoulet de Toulouse (Lamb stew, white beans, Toulouse sausage, duck confit).
