Restaurant in Ottmarsheim, France
Upper Rhine Plain Table
Chez Kelly is a village restaurant in Ottmarsheim, Alsace, with easy booking and a fixed address on the Carrefour de la Vierge. Venue-specific details including cuisine type, pricing, and hours are not currently confirmed, so contact the venue directly before visiting. For serious dining in the region, Auberge de l'Ill in nearby Illhaeusern is the stronger anchor.
Chez Kelly sits on the Carrefour de la Vierge in Ottmarsheim, a small Alsatian commune near the Rhine — and with nearly all venue-specific details unavailable at time of writing, booking here requires a degree of tolerance for uncertainty. If you are a first-timer planning a special meal in the region, the safer move is to start with a venue where hours, pricing, and the menu are confirmed before you arrive. That said, Ottmarsheim is not a deep restaurant city, so if Chez Kelly is the recommendation you have received locally, it is worth a direct inquiry before dismissing it.
Located at 2 Rue du Renard in Ottmarsheim, Chez Kelly occupies a specific address — the Carrefour de la Vierge , that suggests a neighbourhood or village-centre setting rather than a destination dining room. Alsace as a region carries genuine culinary weight: it is home to Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern, one of France's most decorated dining institutions, and the broader region has long supported serious cooking rooted in Franco-German tradition. Whether Chez Kelly draws on that tradition in any meaningful way is not something the available data can confirm.
For first-timers visiting Ottmarsheim specifically, the practical reality is this: the town is small, dining options are limited, and Chez Kelly appears to be one of the few named restaurants operating in the area. That gives it a degree of local relevance by default. If you are passing through on a Rhine itinerary or combining a visit with the nearby Ottmarsheim Abbey, a meal here may be the most convenient option in the immediate area.

Without confirmed data on cuisine type, price range, chef, or style, it is not possible to describe what eating at Chez Kelly actually involves , the format, the flavour register, whether counter seating exists or whether the room suits solo diners and couples differently from groups. What can be said is that the address is fixed, the venue appears to be operational, and the booking difficulty is assessed as easy, which suggests you are unlikely to need to plan weeks in advance.
If you are considering dining in Alsace more broadly and want to build a trip around serious food, the region rewards planning. Auberge de l'Ill in nearby Illhaeusern is the obvious anchor for a special occasion, and the wider French fine dining circuit includes destinations like Flocons de Sel in Megève and Bras in Laguiole for those willing to travel. For context on the upper end of French restaurant ambition, Mirazur in Menton and Troisgros in Ouches set the national benchmark. Chez Kelly operates in a different register entirely , local, accessible, and easy to book.
If your trip extends beyond Ottmarsheim, Alsace has genuine dining depth. Paul Bocuse in Collonges-au-Mont-d'Or and Georges Blanc in Vonnas anchor the broader eastern France circuit for those building a longer itinerary.
