À l'Agneau

Alsace


Market-driven menus and a cocoon-like setting of dark-wood panelling and lamp lighting draw locals to À l'Agneau. This family-run affair serves beautifully cooked food, whether you opt for Alsatian classics such as escargots and braised pork knuckles, or seasonal dishes like pigeon cooked two ways with truffle jus or langoustines in cream of asparagus. Wine pairing is reasonably priced.
