Auberge Sundgovienne

The story

Auberge Sundgovienne – Modern Cuisine in Carspach, France | Michelin Recommended

A family-run auberge in the heart of the Sundgau

Just outside Altkirch, in the quiet village of Carspach, the Auberge Sundgovienne has been welcoming guests for three generations. Véronique and Jean-Bernard Hermann run this light-filled, wood-accented restaurant and hotel set within a landscaped park. The atmosphere is calm and unhurried, with a terrace for warm-weather dining and a fireplace for cooler months – a setting that feels genuinely removed from the everyday.

Chef Jean-Bernard Hermann’s refined modern cuisine

The kitchen is led by Chef Jean-Bernard Hermann, a Maître Restaurateur who trained with some of France’s most respected chefs – Gaertner, Haeberlin and Chapel. His cooking is described as fine, creative and inspired by tradition and the seasons, with each plate built around exceptional ingredients. The result is a modern cuisine that respects Alsatian roots while exploring fresh combinations of flavour and colour. The restaurant holds a Michelin Recommended distinction, a recognition that aligns with the precision and ambition of the kitchen.

A place for lingering

Beyond the dining room, the Auberge Sundgovienne offers a complete stay: a three-star hotel open seven days a week, seminar facilities, and a well-chosen wine list. Whether you come for a meal on the shaded terrace, a weekend break, or simply a plate of the chef’s thoughtful modern cuisine, the pace here is set by the countryside, not the clock.
