At Chez Marc & Fred, the table is not just a meal — it is a moment of sharing, of meeting and of conviviality. Lifelong cooking enthusiasts, they bring all their talent and their love of good food to offer you a memorable culinary experience.

Their secret? Fresh produce from their own garden and vegetable patch, recipes handed down through generations, reinvented with creativity and love. The host table is offered in the evening on request, shared with Marc & Fred in a warm and relaxed atmosphere. Occitan flavours with an Alsatian touch.

Local produce and passion
