Gilles Pudlowski’s regional guides profile hundreds of the
most charming hotels and restaurants, cafés, bars, and gourmet
shops throughout the towns and villages of each area. Alsace—Gilles
Pudlowski’s home region—is a setting from a fairy tale:
half-timbered houses adorned with flowers, gabled roofs, and chimneys
topped with storks’ nests. The famous Wine Road, a major
tourist attraction, winds its way through seventy-five miles of
storybook villages. Strasbourg is not only Alsace’s capital
but the heart of United Europe. Pudlo Alsace profiles
the best restaurants and typical Alsatian winstubs that
serve the celebrated regional dishes and white wines for which
Alsace is known.
Gilles Pudlowski is France’s most respected culinary commentator;
restaurant critic and writer for the French weekly magazine Le
Point; historian of French regional culinary traditions;
and the author of two cookbooks, France the Beautiful Cookbook and Great
Women Chefs of Europe. The Pudlo guides have appeared yearly
for almost 20 years.
