Alsace is a small region in France on the border of Germany. It's gone back and forth between German and French occupation in the last few centuries, the latest going from German to French in the 1940s.

So, although we are technically a French inspired restaurant, we have a lot of German influence. It's the deeply-rooted fine dining food culture of France, and the soul-warming cuisine of Germany. Some of the regional specialties are Flammkuchen (Tarte Flambée), Choucroute, Baeckeoffe, Coq au Riesling, Foie gras, Pretzels (Bretzel), Munster cheese, Spätzle, and Kougelhopf. We feature Alsatian and Alpine flavors in our sauces, drinks, and dishes. You'll see Elderflower, pine, fennel, anise, and juniper among many other unique tasting notes on our menus.

Why did we choose Alsatian cuisine for Ashland? Well, we are the only Alsatian restaurant on the West Coast. We wanted to introduce something new, but vaguely familiar to the community of Southern Oregon. But additionally, the valley we source our incredible bounty from, the Rogue Valley, is strikingly similar to the Vosges mountains that houses the region of Alsace. Plus, we are both lesser-known wine regions which produce undiscovered gems! Think: reasonably priced but high-quality, delicious wines.

Lastly, Alsace is a region which has transformed from strife into a hospitable and gracious community with its own identity as a culinary mecca! We see many parallels in this industry that we are trying to transform and our little community.
