This establishment is an Alsace multi award winning restaurant. This restaurant is a secret place. Those that know. Know. Restaurant Jean Victor Kalt. Dishes A la carte. Dishes set priced. Off the beaten track, just a couple of miles outside of Strasbourg and its discovery is like an oasis in a quiet discrete location. Do not let the location put you off going there. Quite the opposite. Jump into a taxi from Strasbourg train station and you are at Restaurant Jean Victor Kalt in 30 minutes. The journey is pleasant. The Chef, Mr. Kalt, never surprises on quality. Every dish is top quality. He oversees all the dishes before they are sent to tables. Periodically, he ventures out of the kitchen to ensure that his restaurant clients are satisfied with the dishes. Nothing is too much for this masterful Chef from the Alsace. Ladies this is the perfect man. On the weekend of Saturday 26 August 2017 a small International group dined at restaurant Jean Victor Kalt. Over the table we spoke German, English and French. Chef Kalt was more than able to converse with us and exact from each of us our preferences for dishes. On this occasion there was a non-meat eater in the group. Chef Kalt created two dishes specifically for that guest and created a new menu combination based upon the Menu de la Mer at €50 Euros. The other guests had selected the Menu at €62 Euros each. The most expensive menu on the carte. If you ask me, that price would have been easily doubled in a London or Parisian restaurant. The €62 Euros menu included: Le foie gras de canard maison cuit en terrine Les noix de St-Jacques façon “Jean-Victor” La belle assiette du pêcheur La pièce du boucher selon l’humeur du chef Le chariot de fromages affinés Le grand dessert Jean-Victor Kalt Along with the selected menus we were all delighted with the additional hot savoury pastry starter, fresh baked bread by Chef Kalt’s own hands and local REAL butter. The fresh bread came to the table several times with the lashings of real butter. The Amuse-bouches were tantalisingly pleasing. We had a game with Chef Kalt to see if we ascertain which ingredients were used. We did not win. So much for our discernible palates. As for the wines? From start to finish they were recommended by Chef Kalt for their part to play in supporting the dishes. Perfect choices from the stable of Cremant, Riesling and Burgundy residing within Chef Kalt’s incredible cellar. To finish there was a choice from a selection of connoisseur teas and coffee, as well as homemade, delicate and scrumptious chocolates and small sweet; but not overly sweet, pastries. The child within was most contented as the waist band expanded double time. Those that could, had a generous glass of Alsace Grappa. We were spoiled rotten by Chef Kalt and the incredible silver service. Silver Service par excellence. Par exemplar. Or, in simple English ‘above par’. I must confess that this was my FOURTH visit. At each occasion the Chef Kalt NEVER dropped standards. Nor his team of waiting staff. That would be “sacre-bleu!” Being an Assessor and Hospitality Inspector I would have picked that up and pointed that out in this review. Restaurant Jean Victor Kalt is definitely a discrete, hospitable, warm, clean and trusted home from home, if your home also had silver service on tap. It is most welcoming to its guests, whom whenever I have been there have been well mannered couples and groups of people from a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds. The guests that I dined with over the weekend were testament to that. Including the guests from the previous three visits. Whether you are lesbian, homosexual, transgender or straight you are welcomed. Whether you are British Black, of mixed heritage from India, North/South Africa, China or South America you are welcomed in the ‘home’ of Chef Kalt. For those that are High Net Worth Individuals or individuals having personal security detail, this is an ideal place. Far from the madding crowd.
We were in Erstein for a Saturday wedding and needed dinner for 13 of us on the Friday evening. M. Kalt agreed to design a special set menu for us. We were very impressed by the warm welcome he personally gave us when we arrived. Unfortunately, some of our group were going to arrive late due to a delayed flight. However, our host reassured us that this would be no problem and we all relaxed as we enjoyed our pre-dinner drinks and delicious appetisers. The main course and dessert that followed were beautifully presented and most tasty. Our waitress explained what they were to me so that I could translate into English for some of our group. This had been a most enjoyable evening and M. Kalt made sure he was there at the end to wish us all a good night. Some of us were coming back for lunch the following day and knew that we were definitely going to be in for another treat.
Jean-Victor Kalt is a perfectionist and this meal proved it. Every course was beautifully cooked presented and the red wine selected to accompany the beef was brought out from the cellar and opened at the start of the meal to ensure that it was not too cool by the time of the main course. If you choose to have the full three or four courses, make sure that you are really hungry, because the courses are interspersed with an amuse bouche , sorbet, finished with delicious biscuits chocolate with the coffees. The restaurant is quite expensive, but if you are going out for a special meal then this is the place for you! We have been there twice now, and each time has been an excellent experience.
We visited the restaurant at lunch as it was sitting right next to our hotel. The location is quite ugly from outside, but the interior is welcoming and cozy and you forget about the well-travelled road outside. As our timing was tight, we choose to have only one main dish fish), we were served nonetheless as appetizer 2 small tarte d'onion and a seasonal pumpkin soup. We tasted also a glass of the Riesling suggested by the chef. Even if at the end we got some good praline and biscuits, the bill was in my opinion too high € 85 for 2 people, 1 bottle of water included). Maybe it's worth if you choose the menus.
My wife and I go very often eating, and have had quite a lot of my very good meals, but the last time we had such a great meal dates back to a long time in the past. Everything was just right, the wines complimented the courses perfectly, and when one knows that only Jean Viktor Kalt and an assistant are in the kitchen, the it it even more outstanding.
