Restaurants in Alsace traditionally have a formal main dining room as well as a casual dining room known locally as a weinstube or brasserie. At the brasserie, diners may enjoy traditional, hearty Alsatian dishes in a warm and relaxing atmosphere. These friendly establishments are immensely popular with Alsatians and visiting them is always the best part of my trips back to Alsace. I opened Jacques' Brasserie at L'Auberge Chez François to bring the tastes and comforts of the Alsatian brasserie to Great Falls.

We celebrated my husband’s milestone birthday last night at this familiar “neighborhood joint” for us. As always the food and service were great. Unfortunately I was suffering from a stomach upset so couldn’t eat any of the wonderful dishes on the menu. I inquired ahead of time and was assured that they can take care of my dietary restrictions. I informed our waiter who went back to confer with the kitchen a couple times and in the end, they served me a very yummy grilled chicken breast with different vegetable purées that allowed me to celebrate my husband’s milestone in a very nice fashion. The team was very attentive to our needs and I really appreciated it. We’ll be back soon.

We checked out the new HH menu and it was AWESOME! Sliders, tempura shrimp and arancini balls were all fantastic as was the January wine of the month Vin Noir. Also cannot go wrong with a carafe of the barrel reserve. The HH red blend was just ok - esp after having barrel reserve. Service was exceptional.
