Jean-Luc Brendel

Jean-Luc Brendel has built La Table du Gourmet into one of Alsace's most sustainable restaurants — earning both a Michelin star (since 1996, nearly 30 years) and a Michelin Green Star in 2022, plus 3 Ecotable Macarons. Gault & Millau rates him 17/20 (4 toques) — one of the highest ratings for a 1-star restaurant in the region. His menu is described as 'a veritable ode to the market and often local produce'. The restaurant is in Riquewihr — consistently ranked one of France's most beautiful villages and the jewel of the Alsace Wine Route.
