Wife and I had dinner there - she had a Rösti and I had the duck. Both were very good, but the rösti lacked potatoes (there was maybe a half of one hidden in the pile of Munster, which was delicious) and the vegetables with the duck were not at all copious. I say this as someone who normally never orders an entree and has a difficult time finishing the main course. As such we found the prices a bit high. Otherwise the staff and ambience were great.

My second visit this year. Very nice place indeed and I will stay here again when I'm in this part of the country. Leo, the waiter, is superb. Couldn't be more helpful and also good fun to chat with at the end of our meals. The kitchen staff are great too. Well worth 5 stars.

Feast your eyes and your taste buds at this amazing restaurant with a view! The Citadel view from this restaurant is truly breathtaking, it's like dining with a piece of history. But the real star of the show here is the food. The menu is filled with delicious options that will have your taste buds dancing with joy.The flavors were well balanced and the presentation was beautiful. The food was expertly prepared and cooked to perfection. It was a true culinary experience. And the best part? The prices are reasonable, which makes it a great option if you're nearby and looking for a great meal.So whether you're looking for a romantic dinner spot or just a great meal with a view, this restaurant is a must-visit. Highly recommend!

Recommended by a friend, the Relais des Chateaux Forts did not disappoint - but I was expecting clean, comfortable and functional rather than indulgent and luxurious. …

The team at Le Relais looked after us brilliantly from start to finish, I would not hesitate to recommend to anyone wanting to stay in Bitche! Every morning at the front desk Christine greeted us with an enormous smile and glowing character. Whenever we were in the restaurant Leo made sure that we were well looked after, and helped us so much with his translation skills! At the bar Salome was very helpful, and her English is much better than she thinks! Our whole party is so grateful for the whole team looking after us, we look forward to staying again!

We checked in along with several friends. The standard of the rooms varied quite considerably within our group. Our room was very small, with very little character and was dark and dingy. …

Good hotel and great staff with impressive multilingual abilities. The food was delicious and we drank plenty of the splendid beer. We could see the massive citadel from our room window. All good here.
