In the upper reaches of the village of Steige in the picturesque Villé valley, this old farmhouse inn is the canvas on which chef Yannick Guth expresses his creativity. With a focus on local ingredients (like the herbs and flowers he picks himself), the chef also works with fish from the lake (pike, zander, whitefish).

The terrace (for pre-dinner drinks and coffee) overlooks a

Local folklore is celebrated by waiters in traditional costume and a characteristic wooden Vosges decor. In a lively, yet sophisticated atmosphere, you will be treated to tasty, copious regional preparations: sauerkraut, veal kidneys, sweetbread and bouchées à la reine. The food is as heart-warming as the rooms, the grounds and the hotel’s magnificent spa facilities.

In this small village perched in the foothills of the Vosges, this hotel-restaurant has been welcoming travellers since the start of the last century. The Buecher brothers, who took over the reins of this family business from their parents, preside with cheerful enthusiasm.

The restaurant boasts ultra-fresh vegetables, while fermentation, dehydration and salting help to get through the winter. The clarity of the explanations given by the lady of the

On the road to Hohwald, deep in nature, this Scandinavian-inspired hotel-restaurant promotes simplicity and switching off. These values are reflected in the restaurant, which serves up generous cuisine made with 100% organic and local produce, prepared with simplicity by a mentee of chef Jérôme Jaegle (Alchémille in Kaysersberg), in an intimate rustic-style setting. There is a pleasant terrace with views of the untamed Alsace countryside and the Black Forest in the distance.
