Alexa Ballmann, an entrepreneur and vice-president of the Fédération des artisans, shares her favourite food spots with us.

The perfect place to talk about figures without compromising on flavour?

Alexa BallmannAlexa Ballmann. – “Maison B, because you can discuss business there in an elegant yet relaxed atmosphere. The setting is sophisticated without being too formal, and the food is always up to standard.

Your go-to spot for unwinding with colleagues without ending up at an after-work drinks?

“The Hostellerie du Grünewald. It’s the sort of place where you like to meet up after a busy day to enjoy a good meal, have a chat and unwind without necessarily ending the evening at 2am.

When you’re short on time but still want to enjoy a tasty meal?

“Brasserie Guillaume. Even in the middle of a busy day, you can enjoy a good meal there – it’s quick, the quality is consistently high, and the atmosphere is always pleasant.

The table where you share the good news… and the fine wines?

“At Jane’s. The whole experience is beautifully curated from start to finish, with real attention to detail and a menu that makes you want to linger a little longer over a lovely drink.

The place that sets your heart racing as much as it delights your taste buds?

“L’Hêtre. I love places that have a real soul and a strong identity. L’Hêtre is one of those places where the atmosphere is just as important as the food.

Your secret spot for healthy eating without sacrificing enjoyment?

“Naga. I love their fresh, balanced and flavourful cuisine… Perfect when you want to eat more healthily whilst still making enjoyment the priority.”
