Restaurant in Scherwiller, France
Easy booking, honest Alsatian cooking, fair price.
Auberge Ramstein is a Michelin Plate-recognised traditional Alsatian restaurant in Scherwiller with a 4.6 Google rating across 361 reviews. At €€ pricing with easy booking, it is the practical choice for Michelin-quality cooking on the Route des Vins without the reservation effort. Book a few days ahead and visit in autumn for the strongest seasonal menu.
Getting a table at Auberge Ramstein is easy — this is not a venue where you need to plan weeks in advance or refresh a booking page at midnight. That accessibility is part of its appeal, and for visitors to Alsace's Route des Vins who want a Michelin-recognised meal without the reservation stress of [Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/auberge-de-lill-illhaeusern-restaurant) or the drive to Strasbourg for [Au Crocodile](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/au-crocodile-strasbourg-restaurant), it fills a specific and practical gap. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) confirm this is a kitchen that meets a recognised standard of quality. At a €€ price point, the value case is clear.
Auberge Ramstein sits at 1 Rue du Riesling in Scherwiller, a small Alsatian village whose address alone signals what kind of experience you are walking into. The street named after the region's most celebrated white grape variety sets the tone: this is traditional Alsatian cooking in a setting that feels rooted in the landscape around it rather than designed for a broader audience. The physical space — an auberge by name and by nature , tends toward the warm and contained rather than the grand. Expect a dining room that prioritises intimacy over spectacle, the kind of room where tables feel placed rather than packed, and where the spatial logic rewards couples and small groups over large parties seeking a statement backdrop.
If you have been once and are thinking about a return visit, the question is less about whether the kitchen can deliver and more about timing. Alsace's traditional cuisine shifts meaningfully with the seasons, and autumn is when the region's larder is at its fullest: game, mushrooms, and the tail end of harvest produce tend to anchor menus in ways that summer visits cannot replicate. Coming back in late September or October gives you a materially different meal than the one you had in warmer months, and at €€ pricing the cost of exploring that is low.
Auberge Ramstein operates in the traditional cuisine category, which in an Alsatian context means dishes shaped by the region's Franco-German culinary history: hearty proteins, fermented and pickled accompaniments, and an expectation that the wine list will be as important as the food. Riesling, Pinot Gris, and Gewurztraminer from vineyards that surround Scherwiller are the natural pairings for this kind of cooking, and a venue at this address with this positioning will almost certainly reflect that. This is not a kitchen chasing contemporary French technique for its own sake. If you came from [Flocons de Sel in Megève](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/flocons-de-sel-megve-restaurant) or are planning onward to [Mirazur in Menton](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/mirazur-menton-restaurant), you will find the register here considerably more grounded. That is the point.
For a returning guest, this also means the menu logic rewards paying attention to what has changed rather than defaulting to what you ordered last time. Traditional cuisine venues often cycle the same structural dishes but alter them seasonally in ways that matter. Ask what is new or what the kitchen is currently excited about rather than anchoring to a prior visit.
The editorial question worth addressing for Auberge Ramstein is whether the food travels. Traditional Alsatian cooking , braised meats, rich sauces, dishes built around retained heat and texture , is generally better suited to off-premise consumption than, say, a tasting menu of delicate composed plates. The structural integrity of a choucroute or a baeckeoffe holds better in transit than a fish course at a three-star restaurant. That said, no venue-specific takeout or delivery information is confirmed for Auberge Ramstein, and the auberge format typically implies an on-premise, sit-down experience as the primary offer. If takeout matters to your decision, confirm directly before building a plan around it. The safer assumption is that this is a restaurant you visit rather than one you order from.
The Google rating of 4.6 across 361 reviews is a meaningful data point at this volume. Three hundred-plus reviews provide enough signal to discount outliers; a 4.6 average in that context reflects consistent satisfaction rather than a handful of enthusiastic early guests. Combined with Michelin Plate recognition in back-to-back years, Auberge Ramstein carries two independent trust signals pointing in the same direction. The Michelin Plate is not a star , it signals a quality kitchen worth knowing about rather than a destination in itself , but for a €€ traditional cuisine venue in a small Alsatian village, it is the right credential to hold.
Booking difficulty is low. You do not need a strategy here. A reasonable lead time of a few days to a week should be sufficient for most visits, though weekends and public holidays in Alsace's peak tourist season (late spring through October, and again during the Christmas market period) may require a little more planning. Scherwiller is a small commune, so if you are arriving from Strasbourg or Colmar, build in travel time accordingly.

If you are building an Alsace itinerary around food, Auberge Ramstein works well as a village-level anchor rather than the headline booking. Pair it with the wine route, a tasting at a local producer, and use [our full Scherwiller experiences guide](https://www.joinpearl.co/experiences/scherwiller) and [our full Scherwiller bars guide](https://www.joinpearl.co/bars/scherwiller) to fill the day around it.

A few days to a week is enough for most visits. Booking difficulty here is low, which makes it a practical option when you are already in Alsace and planning the next day rather than scheduling weeks out. During peak season on the Route des Vins , late summer through harvest, and the Christmas market period , add a few extra days of lead time to be safe. Compare this to [Auberge de l'Ill in Illhaeusern](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/auberge-de-lill-illhaeusern-restaurant), where demand is considerably higher and forward planning is more important.
The auberge format and €€ pricing suggest the venue can handle small groups without difficulty, though no confirmed capacity data is available. For larger parties , six or more , it is worth contacting the restaurant directly before booking to check table configuration and any minimum spend requirements. At this price point, group dining here is accessible without the financial commitment of a higher-tier venue.
Yes, with a calibration on expectations. Two Michelin Plates and a 4.6 Google rating at €€ pricing make this a strong choice for a low-key celebration , a birthday dinner or a meaningful lunch on a wine-route trip , where the warmth of an Alsatian auberge setting matters more than grand-occasion formality. If you want a more ceremonial experience, [Auberge de l'Ill](https://www.joinpearl.co/restaurants/auberge-de-lill-illhaeusern-restaurant) in nearby Illhaeusern operates at a different register. Auberge Ramstein is better for occasions where the meal itself is the celebration rather than the setting needing to announce it.
No dress code is confirmed, but a traditional Alsatian auberge at €€ pricing typically calls for smart casual rather than formal. Think neat clothes you would wear to a good neighbourhood restaurant: no need for a jacket, but jeans-and-trainers may feel underdressed depending on your party. When in doubt, err slightly toward smart , the Michelin Plate recognition signals that the kitchen takes itself seriously even if the room does not demand formality.
No tasting menu details are confirmed in available data, so it would be misleading to assess one directly. What is clear: at a €€ price point with Michelin Plate recognition, the value case for whatever set or multi-course option exists is likely strong. Traditional Alsatian cuisine at this level tends to deliver more volume and generosity than price-equivalent venues in other French regions. If a tasting or set menu is available, it is almost certainly the better way to see what the kitchen does across multiple courses rather than ordering à la carte on a first or second visit.

How Auberge Ramstein stacks up against the competition.
A few days to a week is typically enough. Auberge Ramstein is not the kind of Michelin Plate venue in Alsace where tables disappear the moment the booking window opens. That said, weekend evenings in peak summer and harvest season can fill faster, so booking earlier for Friday or Saturday visits is sensible.
The €€ price point and traditional auberge format suggest this is a practical choice for groups, without the per-head cost risk of a higher-end Alsatian table. check the venue's official channels to confirm group minimums or private dining options, as those details are not publicly listed. For large parties, calling ahead rather than booking online is the safer approach.
It works for a low-key celebration rather than a landmark splurge. Two consecutive Michelin Plates (2024 and 2025) signal consistent, credible cooking, but the €€ pricing and traditional Alsatian format make this a relaxed occasion venue rather than a formal one. If the occasion calls for theatre and ceremony, you will want to look elsewhere in the region.
This is a village auberge in Scherwiller at the €€ price range, so dress neatly but do not overthink it. Tidy casual — clean trousers, a shirt or blouse — fits the setting. There is no indication of a formal dress code, and arriving in black tie would be conspicuous.
Tasting menu availability and format are not confirmed in available data for Auberge Ramstein. What is documented is the €€ price range and two Michelin Plates, which together suggest good value for the quality level in a traditional Alsatian cooking context. If a multi-course format matters to your visit, confirm directly with the restaurant before booking.
Keep this venue in your Pearl passport, rate it after you visit, and track it alongside every other place you collect.
