Côté Vigne in Colmar – Refined Alsatian Bistronomic Dining in Kientzheim

Côté Vigne: A Bistronomic Table in the Heart of Alsace

In the wine village of Kientzheim, just a short drive from Colmar, Côté Vigne offers what it describes as “une cuisine alsacienne raffinée” — refined Alsatian cuisine served in a setting that is both modern and authentic. The restaurant’s self-styled “bistronomique” approach translates into a relaxed yet precise dining experience, one that has earned a place among the Michelin Recommended establishments for 2026.

The weekly menu changes often, reflecting the seasonal rhythms of the Alsace wine region. While the kitchen does not publish fixed signature dishes, the emphasis is clearly on a modern interpretation of local flavours — a thoughtful, ingredient-led take on Modern Cuisine rooted in Alsatian tradition. The dining room itself is bright and contemporary, with clean lines and warm touches that mirror the surrounding vineyards.

Côté Vigne also operates a fully renovated guesthouse (gîte de charme) on site, making it an ideal stop for those exploring the Route des Vins. The restaurant’s outdoor seating is available when weather permits, and the space is wheelchair accessible. Open for lunch and dinner Tuesday through Sunday, with closures on Monday, it welcomes guests for both business lunches and leisurely evening meals.

The Michelin recommendation underlines the consistency and ambition of this small restaurant: a place where the cooking is confident, the welcome is genuine, and the connection to the Alsatian terroir is felt in every detail.
