This autumn I visited two Michelin-starred restaurants: Taverne zum Schäfli (2 stars) in Wigoltingen, Switzerland (near German border close to Constance) and Maison des Têtes (1 star) in Colmar, France.

I wrote a short review of the Schäfli in my blog with photos of each course, see Taverne zum Schäfli - Fine Dining Switzerland



Truffle anyone? This one was really good...



Here is the gist of it:
I have to admit that I expected a little more - to me it was rather a one star experience, which is still great, of course (first world problems). But there was no common theme in the dishes and there were some (very) minor flaws at times. Service was flawless, though.
Overall it was still great, but I had direct comparison to the 1-star Maison des Têtes in Colmar and that seemed more consistent and I can still remember single dishes now. Considering the price difference (300 CHF vs 160 EUR overall for one person) I would vote for the Maison des Têtes Review of the latter with photos will follow soon.

Earlier this year I had a fantastic experience in Hamburg, Germany at the Jacob's Restaurant (2 stars), btw: Jacobs Restaurant - Fine Dining Hamburg
