A l'Etoile sur Merkwiller-Pechelbronn

03/01/2026: The New Year's Day brunch at the Auberge du Baechel Brunn was a feast for both the eyes and the palate. A magnificent buffet offered guests a wide variety of choices, including shellfish, fish, terrines, foie gras, charcuterie, and more, along with the different sauces prepared by the chef and his team—an explosion of flavors. I mustn't forget to mention the chef's visit to the kitchen for the hot dish, a choice between poultry and fish, which was greatly appreciated by our group. Bravo to Thomas and Esther's entire team, as well as to former staff members Simone and Jean-Paul.

I was blown away by the deconstructed tarte flambée, a bold and highly successful interpretation of this iconic Alsatian dish. As for dessert, the reimagined Snickers was an absolute delight that instantly transported us back to childhood. A truly memorable culinary experience, from appetizer to dessert. Thank you for this wonderful moment!
