Restaurants nearby

• 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 gard7.2km
• 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.12.6km
• Gräfinthaler Hof In this somewhat more remote part of the Bliesgau region, you will feel most welcome in this gorgeous location that was once home to a monastery complex dating back to the 13C. Inside, an elegant atmosphere prevails; outside, there is a charming terrace shaded by trees. Ambitious dishes are created with terrific ingredients – the roast dry-aged pork chop (matured on the bone for 21 days), with sage, Serrano ham, market vegetables and potato fritters, for example, is a wonderful meat option. There are two set menus – one meat, one vegetarian – or you can dine à la carte.13.9km
• Restaurant de l'Écluse 16 This restaurant standing beside the Canal de la Sarre towpath was once a coaching inn, along which horses used to tow coal from the mines. The chef, from Morbihan in Brittany, cooks up delicious and meticulous cuisine, such as saffron risotto with chorizo served alongside premium quality poultry with wild prawns, or his truly unforgettable take on tarte Tatin. He occasionally uses ingredients from the local terroir, enhanced with condiments or home-made aromatic oils.16.5km
• Le Schloss Halberg The restaurant nestled in one wing of the castle, which was built between 1877 and 1880, has rightly proved to be a hit with diners. Its popularity is due both to the beautiful historical estate with its delightful terrace, and to the classic French cuisine – eschewing unnecessary frills in favour of full-bodied flavour, it is made with fresh top-notch ingredients. The speciality of beef fillet tartare with French fries and salad is prepared tableside. France also makes its presence felt in the savvy wine list.19.3km
• La Charrue This family-run eatery rolls out hearty, wholesome cooking made with love: duck foie gras with gewurztraminer wine and plum chutney; confit of pork belly with sautéed Vosges cèpes and a raspberry delight to finish the meal on a high note. Bouncy vibe.19.8km
