Taverne Alsacienne, Ingersheim

Taverne Alsacienne is a traditional winstub on the rue de la République in Ingersheim, a small agricultural village immediately north of Colmar in the Haut-Rhin department of Alsace, Grand Est. The restaurant is deliberately off the main tourist circuit: while Colmar and nearby Eguisheim attract heavy visitor traffic, Ingersheim remains a working village surrounded by vineyards, and the Taverne Alsacienne's clientele reflects that — local winemakers, vineyard workers, and residents from the surrounding villages make up the regular lunch crowd. The cooking is straightforward Alsatian: choucroute au Riesling d'Alsace is the kitchen's primary dish, made with properly fermented Alsatian sauerkraut and smoked meats braised in local wine; baeckeoffe traditionnel — the slow-baked three-meat casserole — requires 24 hours' advance order; kougelhopf aux raisins et Kirsch is the dessert that closes the regional sequence. House Pinot Gris arrives by carafe at prices that reflect the village setting rather than the tourist economy. Mains cost €12 to €20, making this one of the most affordable genuine winstubs in the Colmar area. Service is warm and unhurried. The restaurant is closed on Tuesdays. Ingersheim is accessible by bicycle from Colmar on flat roads — a 10-minute ride — making it a practical option for visitors who want to eat away from Colmar's busier centre.
