Restaurant Le Manala - Riquewihr

Came back after many years, we'll be worth it. easy from the beaten away in the old riquewihr. nice lunch with excellent food and service. stay in the hotel many years back, very pleasant.

Eating was great, especially the choucroutte verte. the waitress was very attentive and friendly. no need for a longer talk when they are looking for great food without too much tralala, that is the place!

Walking in to this pretty and cosy restaurant it felt exceptionally warm and welcoming; all the tables had beautifully locally woven red patterned tablecloths, and the tables were well spaced out so not noisy. You absolutely must book. We went for the local specialities. Did...you know that sauerkraut was invented in Alsace, where it is known as choucroute? One of us had the green version with lots of herbs plus a selection of cooked sausages very filling. I had the roe deer with home made spaetzle very filling and I missed having accompanying vegetables. Followed this with creme brulée which was excellent. Various tarts also available.

Good service and good portion size at this restaurant. The food was all of Alsatian style, which we enjoyed . The restaurant was busy the night we went and the atmosphere was charming.

This place is next to the hotel St Nicolas, the hotel breakfasts are served here as well. During the evening the Le Manala (in Finnish Hell , not very appropriate! is a regular dinner place. After a long day we were too tired to look for...food elsewhere, and the restaurant looked tempting. The space was cozy, the personnel very friendly but we did not really have a common language. The menu included many local Alsace specialties, I chose the sauerkraut in Alsace style, my wife had a salad. My dish had a generous portion of spiced sauerkraut with three different Alsace sausages and a piece of pork, good and hearty food. The salad was huge as well, so this is a good place for hungry visitors. I did not really need a dessert, but as there was creme brule on the menu, I could not resist. The taste was fine but the consistence too runny, not thick as it should be. The cost of the meal was moderate, and as the food was good the Le Manala is a restaurant to be recommended.
