Le Jardin Secret
Creative French · Strasbourg · La Wantzenau (~12km NE of Strasbourg) · Michelin One Star · Chef Gilles Leininger
Le Jardin Secret is the domain of Gilles Leininger 'The Viking' — a competition chef of extraordinary calibre who finished 4th at Bocuse d'Or France 2019 (only independent restaurateur selected) and won the Best Plate Award. His prize-winning Artichoke 'Tradition and Modernity' — five preparations of artichoke including perfect egg, tartlets, cream, fermented milk, and vinaigrette — remains the defining expression of his talent. The restaurant is 12km from Strasbourg in La Wantzenau, a village on the Rhine floodplain, in a garden setting. Leininger's Michelin star, held for 10 consecutive years, and his Gault & Millau 15/20 rating confirm him as one of Alsace's most consistent chefs.

Wines
- Gewurztraminer d'Alsace — Spice and Floral by the Glass (13) — Le Jardin Secret's house wine for the cheese course and rich meat preparations: Gewurztraminer from the Guebwiller or Bergheim zone — the grape's characteristic rose-lychee-exotic spice character in a dry or slightly off-dry version that amplifies Alsatian foie gras, Munster cheese, and game preparations. Leininger's wine programme emphasises the Gewurztraminer's versatility — it can accompany savoury courses as well as desserts, depending on the producer and vintage style.
