Restaurant in Kaysersberg, France
Wood-Fired Flammekueche
Flamme & Co on Kaysersberg's main pedestrian street serves flammekueche — the Alsatian wood-fired flatbread — at a price point well below the village's fine dining tables. Easy to book, practical for a quick lunch, and one of the more honest ways to eat regionally in the village. Not a substitute for La Table d'Olivier Nasti or Alchémille, but a solid casual stop.
If you're spending a day in Kaysersberg's medieval centre and want a meal that fits the village rather than competes with it, Flamme & Co is the practical choice for casual dining. The name signals the format: flammekueche, the Alsatian flatbread that comes out of a wood-fired oven with toppings ranging from the classic crème fraîche and lardons to more contemporary combinations. This is the right call for explorers who want to eat local without committing to a full tasting-menu budget — and for anyone who wants something that pairs naturally with a glass of local Riesling or Pinot Gris at lunchtime.
Flamme & Co sits on Rue du Général de Gaulle, Kaysersberg's main pedestrian artery, which puts it squarely in the path of anyone walking between the castle ruins and the covered bridge. The format here is built around the flammekueche tradition, a dish that has genuine roots in Alsatian farm cooking and travels well from oven to table — thin, crisp-based, and fast. For the food-and-travel enthusiast who wants to understand a region through what it actually eats rather than through a chef's reinterpretation of it, this kind of address makes sense as a reference point.
On the question of takeout: flammekueche is one of the few dishes in French regional cooking that holds up reasonably well off-premise, precisely because it is designed to be eaten quickly after leaving the oven. If you're planning a picnic near the Weiss river or want something to carry back to your accommodation, this format is more practical than most restaurant options in Kaysersberg. That said, eat it as soon as possible , the texture softens within fifteen to twenty minutes, and a soggy base is not the point.
Booking here is easy relative to the higher-end tables in the village. La Table d'Olivier Nasti and Alchémille require advance planning weeks or months out; Flamme & Co operates in a more relaxed register. Walk-ins are realistic, particularly outside peak summer and Christmas market season. If you are visiting Kaysersberg during the Advent period , when the village is one of the most visited Christmas markets in Alsace , arrive early or expect a wait.
The address is at a lower price tier than the village's fine dining options, which makes it useful as a lunch stop if you're saving your evening budget for somewhere like Le Chambard or La Vieille Forge. It also works as a standalone meal if your priority is authenticity and value over technical ambition. For the explorer traveling through the Alsace wine route , perhaps coming from a winery visit, or passing through on the way to Colmar , it is a time-efficient and regionally honest option.
Because verified pricing, hours, and booking contact details are not currently available in our database, check current operating hours directly with the venue before visiting, especially outside high season when some Kaysersberg addresses reduce their service days. The village is compact and walkable; the address on Rue du Général de Gaulle is easy to find on foot from any point in the historic centre.

Kaysersberg punches well above its size for dining. At the leading of the range, La Table d'Olivier Nasti (€€€€) and Alchémille (€€€€) are the serious gastronomic choices , both require booking well in advance and deliver multi-course creative French cooking at a level that justifies the price for a special meal. If fine dining is your goal for this trip, either of those two is the correct answer and Flamme & Co is not a substitute.
For the mid-range and casual tier, Flamme & Co competes with Winstub du Chambard (€€) and La Vieille Forge (€€). Winstub du Chambard leans into traditional Alsatian winstub fare in a warmer, more characterful room; if atmosphere matters and you want a fuller meal with choucroute or baeckeoffe, that is a stronger choice for a sit-down lunch or dinner. La Vieille Forge offers modern cuisine at a similar accessible price point. Flamme & Co's advantage is format: if you want something fast, regionally specific, and easy to eat without a long sit-down, the flammekueche format gives it an edge for a quick stop. Bratschtall Manala is another local option worth checking against your itinerary. For the full picture before choosing, see our Kaysersberg restaurants guide.
