Gault&Millau's review2026
This house is a historic landmark, yet it remains as warm and lively as ever—far closer to the spirit of “A thatched cottage, a heart” than to a mausoleum or a temple. A charming, flower-filled home on the banks of the Ill, where you can enjoy an aperitif in the garden before stepping into the dining room, so thoroughly imbued with Alsatian warmth. Marc Haeberlin always has the welcoming, warm smile of someone entertaining friends. It’s true that over the past fifty years, he’s gotten to know quite a few of them, and loyal Alsatians never fail to hold all their celebrations here. Because it’s the Auberge, because it’s family, because you can’t leave here without coming back often—and always. Because they make the world’s best goose foie gras here, served by the spoonful from its large, appetizing bowl; because even the most modern dishes have that familiar touch that ties them to home, such as the plump red mullet with Espelette chorizo sauce and polenta, or the legendary Haeberlin salmon soufflé, or the summer venison medallions with knepfle, chanterelles, and roasted apricots on a well-reduced sauce. Should we criticize this cuisine, meant for sharing, for not making you think too hard? Quite the contrary—for although it is meticulously crafted and technically flawless, it remains accessible to everyone, allowing diners to savor familiar flavors paired with grace and expertise—right down to the magnificent “Grandmother Haeberlin” vacherin, reimagined by the highly skilled pastry chef Pascal Hainigue. A young, confident service team, very well supported by seasoned veterans; an extensive, classic wine cellar offering access to fine vintages from the great Alsace producers and a few older vintages from both Bordeaux and Burgundy, all reasonably priced.
