For our last night in Alsace, we chose Le Stewala and were very pleased that we did. It's not the cheapest in town, but I'm sure it's the best.We shared a mixed salad starter - everyone must, surely, as it's far too much for one (and priced accordingly). Don't hesitate to do this: our friendly and accommodating waiter was happy to bring two plates to our table and to other's (Madame being given the job of dividing it in both cases!). This was indeed a salad but also so much more - foie gras, asparagus, parmesan, salmon. Doesn't sound as if it would all go together but somehow it did.Not a long list of mains, so we both chose the rack of lamb with wild garlic & herb crust.. Perfection! The lamb was delightfully tender. Slightly different cuisson on each, as requested. There were accompaniments of heritage carrots etc, and a pour-yourself lamb jus. But the lamb is what stays in the memory.We watched in admiration as fellow diners received desserts, which looked great. But we simply couldn't manage one.Ambience, decor and service were charming. Prices for this level of cooking are reasonable. Indeed the half litre of wine we enjoyed was probably the cheapest of our trip.We hadn't booked, but at busier times you may well need to. Don't hesitate - go now!
