    What a special restaurant this is. It is located in Old Town surrounded by beautiful and colourful historical buildings. What a great setting. From the minute we stepped in we were greeted warmly by the server. We chose the terrace seats and was brought to a romantic terrace. You wouldn't know from the facade of the building that a terrace even exists. We chose the 4 course meal with drinks accompaniment. Every course was presented beautifully as seen on the photos. The servers were detailed in explaining each courses and drinks accompaniment. They were warm, very professional and seems very passionate in their job. All in all this is such a delightful experience and what fantastic value. It is also recommended in the Michelin guide so you know it is definitely excellent! If you are in Colmar please try this restaurant. It is worth it and more.

    On our last night in Colmar we dined in this restaurant. Reservations are necessary (many guests were turned away when showing up without) It's a very classy, very stylish restaurant with an interesting menu. We got a table upstairs. Our Bulldog was welcome as well. Thanks for that! Ordered a bottle of wine - fair prices - and got our complementary Amuse-Bouche soon. Ordered the Tuna Tartare and the Croque-Monsieur with Langoustines for starters. The Tartare was incredible. A wonderful twist with the matching seeds on top and a good load of oil/lemon juice. Fresh, crunchy, tasty. The best item of the night! And one of the best - maybe THE best - Tuna Tartare I've ever had. The Croque Monsieur with Langoustine was a bit disappointing. Just not enough Langoustine and/or seafood flavour. It'd be alright...but it wasn't cheap for what we got. For the mains we've had the grilled fish and the veal sweetbreads. The fish was really fresh, cooked to perfection. But not too exciting. Good, but no twist there. The sweetbreads were a good choice though. Don't let yourself put off by the thought of what it actually is. It's actually the thymus (also called throat, gullet). But if you have an open mind, then you're in for a very tasty, very tender piece of meat. And this one here was cooked perfectly. Planned on having a Digestif after dinner. But the place was really really busy and the waiter had to run up and down the stairs all the time. Felt a bit bad for him. That's a lot of work. Waited a good 20mins or so, but still busy. So we decided to call it a night without a Digestif. All in all a good dinner. Good, but not great. Two out of four items were really amazing. Two were average though. And price-wise it's definitely on the higher end. Friendly owner/staff though.

    surprisingly amazing little place in Colmar. We went there spontaneously for lunch and got offered the last table they had. The food was a little slow but was delicious, the staff was also friendly. 👍🏻👍🏻

    Good food and a nice spot, close to the water and city center. The Foie Gras is quite delicious; the local stew with potatoes and meat was also very tasteful.

    Great restaurant! The menu is short but everything we ordered was delicious. The black pranws were really tasty and the Irish beef with onion and parmiggiano was excellent. The staff was kind and the establishment is nice. 100% recommended!

    Honestly, we were a little disappointed… We booked a table (3 adults) after we saw a lot of great reviews about the restaurant. The staff were extremely kind and helpful, but the food just wasn’t as good as we expected. It’s pricy, which is normal for this type of restaurant. The plates look good and are very neat, but the food didn’t blow us away.

    Excellent food and service. Some improvement: the tuna in the starter could be of better quality. The eel was really good. The chocolate dessert was one of the best I've had, this is a must if you go here. The interior is trendy and creates a 'homely' atmosphere. Chairs are really comfortable, which is not always the case in restaurants.

    Really enjoyed the 45€set menu, we got the wine pairing too which we thought was very nice! We also loved the tuna tartare and seabream! Highly recommended!

    Le Quai 21 is a must when in Colmar ! We decided on this place last minute, as we were not sure of our arrival time traveling through Alsace. Even though the restaurant was fully booked, we were fortunate on our timing. A couple had just left, and we were seated. We indulged and selected the tasting menu, with wine paring. 2 additional plates not featured on the list, were offered (neglected to photograph those plates). Best decision. The service is fantastic ! The food is beautifully platted and absolutely delicious. You quickly realize why this restaurant is so popular, and that reservations are highly recommended.

    Simply outstanding. 3 different starters and 3 different mains and all dishes were excellent both in terms of presentation and taste, the service was fantastic, the atmosphere was intimate, wine pairing recommendation was on point, etc etc. I could go on. The attention to detail was impressive. If I had to nitpick anything, just for the sake of it, our table location made getting into one of the seats a bit tricky, and the still water tasted especially flat. Cooler, filtered water would’ve been nice. But it’s super minor. Really worth the detour. One of the better meals I’ve had recently.

    Amazing food served by a smiling person. Top location and high notch cuisine. Will be definately going back. They made the extra mile when we called to book a table and it was fully booked. 30 min later they called us back to tell us that they had a cancellation and they could have us as guests. They really made our evening.

    Very good food and seevice! We miscalculated the time a bit from our side and highlighted to the waiter that we need to rush for a train. They totally adapted to our schedule and brought the bill + dessert very fast. Recommendation!

    I just had a drink there, the waiters outside were very nice and the wine good. I paid and left a good tip and asked if I could use the toilet. When I walked inside to the (customer) toilet the woman inside behind the bar shouted at me in front of the whole bar and embarrassed me, until one of the waiters told her I was drinking there. I guess she thought I walked in off the street. It was very embarrassing and rude so I would absolutely not go back. A shame because the gentleman serving outside was lovely.

    Just can say the we absolutely appreciate the dinner at the restaurant. From A to Z everything was how you can expect from a restaurant with very high standards in regards to service, dishes, wines, timing and atmosphere. Thanks for the good time we had! Coming back.

    We came for lunch in December, and took the degustation menu. The food was tasty and interesting, prepared with care. The only sour note was the waiting time, a bit too long, between each course.

  • 5/5 Natalia H. 1 year ago on Google
    all the food was delicious! I have to write a novel to understand the explosion of tastes. I have also been to restaurants with Michelin stars, but this restaurant delighted my taste buds. I recommend!!!

    Great dishes. Awesome ambience. Great place.

  • 5/5 Sileia U. 1 year ago on Google
    We chose the proposed Quai21 menu which goes with the recommendation of the wine master (82€) and were flashed. Not only about the quality of the food and wine but also by the friendliness and professionalism of the service. The whole experience happened in a very relaxed and local alsacien atmosphere. A nice add on: lots of locals in jeans enjoying the evening

  • 1/5 Fa H. 1 year ago on Google
    Very inconsistent service. We were here for lunch and asked if it is possible to change the fish of main course of the menu (there are no choices available) but were told there is 0 flexibility and the menu is fixed. 10 minutes later the neighbor table with a different waiter was offered exactly the changes we had previously. inquired about.

  • 5/5 Ella M. 1 year ago on Google
    We have taken a menu with wine pairing. It was a real culinary pleasure with everything single dish from the menu. They were simple but very well composed, sometimes with surprising tastes combinations. Good choice of paired wines On top very good service although sometimes a bit slow. Highly recommend for all gourmandes!

    Fabulous meal at Le Quai 21 last night for a special birthday. The food and welcome were both excellent and we’ll certainly be back when we are in the area again.

    Wonderful three course menu. Wine list was reasonably priced with many French and Italian wines.
