Natzwiller, France
Auberge Metzger
A Michelin Plate-recognised auberge in the Alsatian forest village of Natzwiller, Auberge Metzger has been under family stewardship since 1885. The menu draws directly from the region's larder: aniseed-flavoured snails à l'alsacienne, choucroute with all the trimmings, zander in riesling, and a seasonal slate that shifts with what the surrounding land and waterways can offer. At €€, it sits well below the price tier of destination Alsatian dining without any reduction in regional seriousness.
