Welcome to the Caveau de l’Ami Fritz,
We welcome you to a typically Alsatian touristic and gastronomic getaway in the heart of Ribeauvillé in Alsace. Discover our establishment where authenticity and tradition harmoniously blend with the Alsatian way of life.
Welcome to the Caveau de l’Ami Fritz, a place where quality, charm, and tradition come together in the heart of Ribeauvillé, the City of Minstrels. Nestled strategically in the city center, yet slightly set back from the hustle and bustle of the main street, our establishment offers you an unforgettable experience in a unique and welcoming setting.
From our Hotel Restaurant or our lodgings, the treasures of Ribeauvillé are at your fingertips. The Grand’Rue, brimming with picturesque boutiques and wineries, awaits you for a delightful stroll. The majestic castles of Saint-Ulrich, Girsberg, and Haut Ribeaupierre elegantly watch over our beautiful city steeped in history.
Ribeauvillé is also your privileged gateway to the Alsace Wine Route, as well as the gems of the surrounding tourism. The Caveau de l’Ami Fritz presents itself as your ideal starting point to explore the treasures of Alsace. Whether you are here for pleasure, relaxation, or discovery, our Alsatian oasis promises you an authentic and warm experience.
The Caveau de l’Ami Fritz has recently undergone a careful restoration while respecting traditional Alsatian architecture. It will introduce you to the warmth and nobility of wood combined with the Vosges sandstone. In 1975, Marc Hassé acquired these dilapidated houses. Awarded in 1986 with the national prize for endangered masterpieces and the Golden Pretzel for architecture, this district has become an essential stop during your visit to the Cité des Ménétriers.
Immerse yourself in history by staying in our hotel with authentic charm. Nestled in buildings with medieval architecture, our hotel rooms offer you an enchanting setting and a warm atmosphere conducive to relaxation. Enjoy all the modern comforts to recharge after days filled with Alsatian discoveries. Our charming hotel has 20 comfortable rooms, including 2 adapted for people with reduced mobility (PRM).
Alsatian cuisine lovers, get ready for a festival of flavors. Our restaurant will introduce you to Alsatian specialities. Indulge in our generous sauerkraut, crispy tarte flambée, and Alsatian specialties, all while immersing yourself in the friendly and authentic atmosphere that prevails in our cellar build with sandstone from the Vosges mountains.
L’Ami Fritz also offers 2 contemporary family lodgings that provide you with a privileged space for moments of conviviality with family or friends. Fully equipped and carefully arranged, our lodgings blend authentic Alsatian charm with decidedly modern comfort. Enjoy spacious, bright areas, elegant decor, and everything necessary to make your stay memorable.

We loved this restaurant, which we visited several times during our stay. We were not staying at this hotel and discovered it by chance. The staff and the owner are adorable. The dishes are very good and the value for money is really top-notch… I recommend the duck breast, you won’t be disappointed by the quality and quantity served 😁 and the onion soup is a REGAL!
Typical Alsatian place, quiet.
The owner is like I like them, she doesn’t have her tongue in her pocket and won’t bend you over backwards, which doesn’t take anything away from her friendliness, you can feel that she knows how to run her business, an iron fist in a velvet glove, the setting is very nice, as are the staff, we were here for 1 w.e. with a friend, and we had breakfast, which was copious and very good.
I recommend this establishment.

Very good hotel, very warm welcome and great food.
Magnificent restaurant
As a local, we’re wary of touristy restaurants. This was a very pleasant surprise. Liver dumplings very well received, gourmet. Salad served very well, with just the right seasoning. Blueberry tart with whipped cream, well garnished. All very reasonably priced (and served at 2:30pm). It’s all good for me
The Cité des Ménétriers
