While finishing our 12 day photo shoot of the Romantic Road in Germany, two days early, we decided to drive 140 miles into eastern France for dinner. We stumbled into Haguenau, France for the evening. What a beautiful Monday night. The new snow drifting earthward...introducing us to the late autumn. We dined at this neighborhood eatery on a whim. The hamburger, medium rare, with a small salad, cooked perfectly, with cheese, pickle and a grilled, buttered bun. We alsodined on, a ham, cheese and potato casserole', The menu item name I will never remember, was moist, warm, cheesy, (not the **** we get in the states), that required 10 minutes to prep.

We purposely chose to stop for lunch at this restaurant during a drive from Luxembourg to Munich, after reading Trip Advisor reviews.
