Gault&Millau's review 2026

While the Robertsau neighborhood is a bit off the beaten path, one can’t help but notice its laid-back lifestyle—both peaceful and charming. This is where Paul Iacono and his wife Delphine were already living before taking over Éric Meyer’s restaurant, where the young chef had worked a few years earlier. The former chef at Buerehiesel and winner of the 2024 Young Talent Award stays true to his style, blending regional tradition with seasonal ingredients, and continues to deliver dishes that are as delightful as ever. Among the highlights are these lovely, innovative takes: a superb duck pâté en croûte; trout from the Heimbach springs, served with a creamy zucchini soup infused with fresh basil and marinated zucchini balls in oil from Les Baux-de-Provence; a lamb fleischkiechle with mint, eggplant caviar, sun-dried tomatoes, and lemon-herb fromage blanc, and a lovely dish featuring candied melon, chilled broth, and fresh mint sorbet. Finally, we must commend the excellent hospitality of Delphine, an enthusiastic and eloquent hostess.
