Place:

Situated in the center of the "pittoresque" village of Wissembourg the Petit Dominicain is easy to find.

The restaurant is a typical French/Alsacien place. It's rather small — you might need a reservation, especially at weekends.


Food:

You're gonna find typical Alsacien food like "Tarte à l'Oignon Maison", "Choucroute à l'Alsacienne" (sauerkraut) or "Presskopf de Queue de Boeuf" (I better not translate that!) and other hefty stuff.  Not so much my choice — I prefer lighter French food.

Fish is fresh and delicious, the French know how to cook a steak at many places, and the pommes dauphinois are a must at the Dominicain!  They have more choice than you can find at their online menu on the internet.

Good local wines, excellent desserts and some coffee and brandy make an evening at the Petit Dominicain a memorable event.


Service:

Very friendly — all extras were commented with a warm smile by the Lauth family and her staff.  I could even have a look at the kitchen.


Overall:

In northern Alsace it is an excellent choice for very good food — and prices are still reasonable.
