Thierry Schwartz - Table Naturelle

Thierry Schwartz — Table Naturelle is a Michelin-starred gastronomic restaurant in Obernai, Alsace. The kitchen emphasises the product itself, working with vegetal and animal elements, foraged ingredients, patience and traditional techniques. Thierry Schwartz engages closely with local producers and artisans, and the restaurant’s presentation and philosophy emphasise humility, craft and the living ecosystem of the kitchen. The dining room combines noble raw materials — wood and stone — with an intimate fireplace and a calm, nature-focused décor shaped by decorator Pauline. An outdoor terrace is open seasonally from May to September. The space evokes a suspended, starry atmosphere and craftsmanship, blending rustic elements with refined design. Cuisine is creative and nature-led, centring on seasonal, local products with respect for vegetal and animal elements and foraging. An on-site fermentation atelier is led by François Hubscher, Chef Exécutif, and the kitchen employs techniques such as fermentation and open-fire cooking. Menus evolve with the seasons and daily availability, placing strong emphasis on letting the product speak for itself. Thierry Schwartz is the chef. Specialties include Pâté de Foie Gras Maréchal des Contades produced using Alsace goose foie gras from Ferme Lechner, the Menu de la Prairie (5 courses), the Menu de la Prairie à la Montagne (9 courses) and the Menu « Abor’table » three-course lunch. The restaurant presents seasonal tasting promenades and offers an extensive cellar of around 1,700 references, including some exclusives, with a distinguished sommelier, Cyril Kocher, who was named Best Sommelier of France by the Michelin Guide in 2023 and reinforces the focus on natural and living wines.
