Au Cerf, French restaurant and hotel in Riquewihr, France
Au Cerf is a hotel-restaurant located in the center of Riquewihr housed in two timber-framed buildings. The establishment offers ten guest rooms and operates two dining halls serving regional cuisine.
The building began as a communal forge around 1488 before later becoming a hotel and restaurant. This transformation occurred to serve travelers and visitors coming to the wine region.
The restaurant serves traditional Alsatian specialties paired with local wines from the surrounding region. The kitchen reflects culinary traditions that have been part of this wine area for many generations.
The rooms are simply appointed and offer basic comfort for a pleasant stay. Visitors should note that the building sits in the historic old town center, so access involves walking through narrow streets.
The dining rooms and terrace occupy one of the oldest structures in town with original wooden beams from its founding era. These beam ceilings reveal craftsmanship details that visitors can notice with every upward glance.
