Hotels & Restaurants in Riquewihr in Alsace

In the medieval village of Riquewihr, at the crossroads of Nature and Culture, the chef Jean-Luc Brendel has found the setting for his inner world: a palette of spaces bubbling with vital energy, madness too, and poetry. A “bon vivant”, present, full of wonder, committed to doing good, he shares his philosophy of better living.

At the heart of his Alsace venues, Jean-Luc Brendel invites you to disconnect from your everyday life, to feel the life force that circulates within you, to shamelessly follow Nature and vibrate to the rhythm of your emotions. Hospitality is expressed in the primary sense, simplicity creates a singular beauty and design is a preamble to wonder.

To give meaning to his life, Jean-Luc Brendel has chosen to create. For him, it is no longer a question of simply summoning the desire, but of becoming become its architect.  His extraordinary Kobelsberg gardens are a natural extension of his concept of life and cooking, a paradise on earth where one learns to welcome the passage of time, both the present and the past.
