When I traveled to France this summer, my family and I had lunch a few times at the restaurant l'écluse 16--only ten kilometers away from where my parents live. I really enjoy the place, not only because of its quiet, off-the-beaten-path location by a canal, à la campagne (in the countryside), but also because Leroux, the chef and talent in the kitchen, is a man who creates inventive eye-catching foods that showcase the best local ingredients. I wanted to write about the place. And so I did, in the Boston Globe food section last week.
If you are interested, especially if you plan a trip in this part of France, you can find the article here.
In the meantime, here are a few snapshots I took when we ate there in the summer. And oh, yes, if you wondered, we ate all the foods that you see. Vraiment délicieux ! and worth the détour.Restaurant l'écluse 16 in Altwiller, Alsace
That must have been a fabulous trip. How amazing it is that your parents live there! Your pictures make me want to hop on a plane (all the way from Tulsa, OK... far trip!)
I've missed so many of your posts, but when I started following you after coming back from my home in France, you gave me the inspiration with my photos, cooking and recipes.
Esp the Macaroon recipe!

I am curious: what is in the small glasses (the ones with the bent spoon and black straws)? I thought it was chocolate coffee with cream until I saw the green one!
It looks wonderful--I love restaurants that are not overly commercial. This place seems homey and simple, which I love. I'm planning a trip to France next summer, so hopefully I'll be able to try it out :)
Gorgeous photos!

My mouth is watering as I´m looking at hese piucs. How delicious they look. I wonder if you , one day can tech us some of these with the concordance of the cheff, of course!
Ca a juste l'air absolument divin... Le cadre, l'assiette, son contenu... et si en plus tu étais en famille, ça devait être un moment magnifique
Belle soirée
Hi, I'm a college student who just stumbled on your site. I've been dreaming about going to France for a month or so and working in a restaurant or a small bed and breakfast (anything!) and was wondering if you had any advice for me. I know the places exist and there must be some nice ones that are willing to take on free labor, but I have no idea how to get in touch with them!
Forgive me for joining in so late to the party. I'm glad I found this post as my in-laws live in Alsace too (about 10 minutes outside of Mulhouse) and I'm always looking for new restaurants to try whenever we visit. Noting this one for our next trip, merci!
