Decorated with lovely marquetry and panelling, light bright windows, scarlet banquettes and antique details, Chez Jenny still offers the best of Alsatian cuisine to a loyal and ravenous clientele served by waitresses in regional costume. Try dishes like starter of Alsatian cervelas sausage in ravigote with warm potatoes, main course of roasted pork caramelised with honey on superb sauerkraut, and pudding of poached pears with pear sorbet and eau de vie.

Lovely restaurant, friendly and welcoming staff. Great fun to order the snail starter and very tasty food! Wine is pretty over priced for what it is but definitely worth a visit.

The service was very rushed, the waiter treated us as though we were an inconvenience. Food OK but they didn't ask how we wanted our steak. It came out very bloody.

We ate here and really wanted something that was not too expensive yet tasty and good. It did not disappoint. The food was served hot and the service was very good. It was very close to our hotel (Crowne Plaze - Hotel deRepulic)
