Interior

The interior is characterized by the traditional influences from Gabriel's birthplace Alsace: the stork, a symbol of beauty and creation, features prominently on hand-painted wall coverings, a door handle with hoarse and as a flock flying eastwards over the large dining room. The heart, an Alsatian symbol of hospitality, accentuates the bar stools. Together with custom-designed lights by local cathedrals, the bar is published in a communal, informal town square.

The chocolate factory

Next to the restaurant is the chocolate shop: Kreuther Handcrafted Chocolate. In collaboration with pastry chef Marc Aumont, Gabriel opened the chocolate mecca three years ago. Here, enthusiasts can choose from freshly made chocolate inspired by the city's changing seasons to classic American flavor combinations.
