Chef's Restaurant In their new home in the center of Schiltigheim, where they moved in 2023, Élodie Dreher and Pierre Irion have brought together a cuisine, a setting and a service whose success continues unabated. As soon as you step through the door of the comfortable dining room, with its carpet, sliding seats and beige tones, you know you've come to the right place. Having worked at L'Arnsbourg and Lameloise, Pierre Irion delivers a contemporary classic cuisine that packs a punch. Once more refined, the flavors seem a little overworked these days, a perfectionist's preoccupation that success still hasn't appeased. For example, the flavor of the deliciously raw scallops is unfortunately masked by the sesame oil. As for the sea bass dish, a little heavily pan-fried but with a tender texture, it is accompanied by butternut in texture, a black garlic condiment, a Maltese sauce, crunchy hazelnuts and smoked eel. In contrast, the sweetbreads with salsify and truffles seemed more restrained. Among our favorite dishes were rigatonis stuffed with capon supreme, reminiscent of Italian primi piatti with the added value of melanosporum truffles. For dessert, the flavor of Mont-Blanc chestnuts is both lightened and invigoratingly refreshed by a powerful blackcurrant sorbet. Élodie Dreher supervises the service, while a sommelier advises on wine pairings from a well-stocked cellar rich in quality vintages.
