Even locals book ahead at this former tannery, bedecked with billowing geraniums and creaking under the weight of its 16th-century beams. Choucroute (sauerkraut) with fat pork knuckles and garlicky Alsatian-style escargot are matched with top-notch pinots and rieslings. Snag a window table for fine views of Petite France’s canals.
