• Auberge Saint-Walfrid★ Michelin Situated on the road from Metz to Strasbourg, this pretty little inn – once a farm belonging to the church in Welferding – has been run by the same family since the late 19C. Having taken over from his father who built up the auberge’s gastronomic reputation in the region, Stephan Schneider (fifth generation) is now at the helm here. Guests dine in a large, plush and warmly decorated dining room with old parquet flooring and cabinets laden with gleaming Sarreguemines earthenware. The chef is a staunch champion of tradition who works with local market gardeners (he also has his own kitchen gard3.7km
• Restaurant DimofskiBib This restaurant housed in an imposing 1950’s edifice a dozen or so kilometres outside Sarreguemines is just the ticket for a slap-up meal with all the trimmings. Wholehearted and single-minded, Julien Dimofski’s enthusiasm can be tasted in delectable, carefully crafted dishes overflowing in ambition (snails in potato nests, langoustine gently seared in butter or free-range roasted squab in a simple parsley sauce). The infectiously cosy, voluntarily rustic interior is further enhanced by the warm welcome and service proffered by Véronique, Julien’s mum.7.4km

• ATAMA by Martin Stopp★★ Michelin In a chic space, Martin Stopp, who made a name for himself at LOUIS in Saarlouis, presents two exceptionally interesting set menus: "Menü für die Seele" ("Menu for the Soul"), which is pared back and ingredient led, and the creative, somewhat more playful "Menü für die Sinne" ("Menu for the Senses"). The former, for example, impresses with a perfectly cooked saddle of fallow venison with an exquisite black pudding crust and fresh cranberries, finished with a wonderful dense and intensely flavoursome shiso Rouennaise sauce. The other boasts exciting combinations such as veal and unagi, pea ash,17.2km
