The story
In the Alsatian village of Westhalten, near Soultzmatt, the Auberge du Cheval Blanc has been a family affair for 240 years. The Koehler family has welcomed guests since 1785, and their restaurant remains a place where conviviality meets refinement. The establishment describes its own cooking as "authentic, generous, and innovative" – modern cuisine that highlights local producers, the seasons, and exceptional ingredients.
The restaurant offers a subtle blend of warmth and elegance. The dining room and service are designed for guests to enjoy a moment of relaxation, whether for lunch or dinner. An interesting wine list complements the menu, and the team can accommodate private parties and events. The restaurant is open from Wednesday lunch through Sunday lunch, with service from 12:00 to 13:00 and 19:00 to 20:30.
Auberge du Cheval Blanc holds a Michelin Recommended distinction, a testament to the consistent quality of the Koehler family's work. The kitchen's modern cuisine is driven by character and generosity, rooted in the Alsace region. While the restaurant announced it will close in January 2026, it continues to honour all reservations through December 2025, ending its long history on a joyful note.
