Dining
La Merise
This traditional Alsace house near Haguenau is a remarkable new construction built out of old materials so as to seamlessly blend in with its rural setting overlooking the hills and orchards. It is the haunt of Christelle and Cédric Deckert. Using high-quality ingredients, the chef concocts his own intriguing take on classical, yet never boring recipes, enhanced by subtle and skilfully prepared jus and sauces.
WebsiteLe Jardin
In the family for three decades, this restaurant with its trompe l'œil façade and Renaissance ceiling is virtually an institution. Running the kitchen today is young Romain Meyer, who worked alongside his father for eight years and continues to serve the house classics (fish soup, tuna carpaccio, Chateaubriand with Béarnaise sauce), albeit with a nod to more modern tastes.
WebsiteGrains de Sel
"Gilles Schnoering, well established in his restaurant near the Halle aux Houblons, treats his guests to a short seasonal menu; his fresh, well - made creations owe much to the quality of the ingredients used. Savvy food and wine pairings. "
WebsiteAu Gourmet
Partners Ludovic Kientz and sommelier Sandie Ling continue to bring life to this country inn standing proud in a large garden. The traditional-style interior is bathed in light. The chef takes obvious pleasure in preparing premium ingredients and vegetables from his own kitchen garden, as well as sauces, to deliver precise cuisine with a touch of classicism: oreiller de la Belle Aurore (pâté en croûte); roasted scallops, black truffle, creamy risotto and Champagne sauce; matured sirloin of Alsace beef, celeriac millefeuille and sauce périgourdine.
WebsiteAuberge du Pont de la Zorn
This winstub-themed inn serves tasty regional specialities, tartes flambées and a sprinkling of more modern recipes. Bucolic terrace on the banks of the River Zorn.
WebsiteAu Bœuf Rouge
Run by the same family since 1880, this restaurant is quite the local institution. Chef François Golla serves modern cuisine without turning his back on tradition: take, for example, his carpaccio of langoustine royale served with crispy vermicelli. His genial wife takes charge of the restaurant floor, and his sister serves wines, including some by the glass, often from magnums – a really nice touch! An appealing place, in no small part due to the smart interior in which wood features heavily.
WebsiteLe Cygne
This picturesque half-timbered Alsace edifice has successfully kept pace with the times and its experienced chef conjures up modern, bistro dishes. Examples include the signature fish casserole with aïoli croutons, or spice-crusted lamb cutlet and fillet with braised vegetables and chickpea cream.
WebsiteLa Source des Sens
The setting is strikingly contemporary, with black walls and carpeting and atmospheric lighting. The food is equally up-to-date, thanks to the commitment of chef Pierre Weller, who slips in the odd tribute to Japan’s culinary culture, while excelling in the art of precise plating, demonstrated by his arctic char makis with green asparagus, orange foam and pistou. The Source also proposes guestrooms for overnight stays, together with a luxurious spa to pamper your senses.
