The story
At the edge of Ribeauvillé, on the Route des Vins d'Alsace, Auberge du Parc Carola sits quietly beside the Carola Springs. The setting is a pocket of calm within the Parc des Sources Carola – a green refuge that feels worlds away from the tourist bustle of the village. The restaurant’s sober, intimate dining room and outdoor seating invite guests to slow down, whether for a business lunch, a tête-à-tête dinner, or a family gathering.
The kitchen is run by Michaela Peters, a former Michelin-starred chef from Le Rendez-vous de Chasse in Colmar, and Laurent Pellegrini, a chef of many talents. Together they practice what the restaurant calls “authentic cuisine” – cooking stripped of pretence, driven by taste and technical mastery. Their shared passion is evident in every plate: modern cuisine that is exceptionally bright and creative, yet without artifice.
The menu changes with the seasons, drawing on the rich larder of Alsace. Lunch and dinner are served in a calm, unhurried atmosphere. The restaurant’s approach has earned it a Bib Gourmand in 2019 from the Michelin Guide, and more recently a Michelin Recommended distinction for 2026 – a testament to the consistent quality and honest hospitality that define this address.
For those seeking modern cuisine in a setting that feels both elegant and welcoming, Auberge du Parc Carola delivers precisely that. A quiet, memorable stop on the wine route.
