The story
Steinmuehl in Lampertheim serves as a hub for Alsatian cuisine, operated by the Goettlé family who have established the venue as a recognized destination. The dining room features kelsch tablecloths arranged with antique objects and locally made ceramics, all lit by guinguette-style fixtures. Located fifteen minutes from Strasbourg, the restaurant opens Monday through Friday, prioritizing traditional preparation and a relaxed pace.
The kitchen highlights the flambéed tart prepared in savory and sweet variations. Diners choose the classic version topped with farm-fresh crème fraîche, onions, and lardons, or opt for the apple and cinnamon tart flambéed in Calvados. A representative combination includes sautéed potatoes, bibeleskäss, and smoked Black Forest ham, while the pork shank cooked in beer accompanies crispy potatoes dressed with Munster cheese and cumin, reflecting the depth of Alsatian cooking.
Sweet finishes arrive as the flambéed mirabelle plum tart or snow eggs set within a vanilla cream sauce. Larger parties can reserve group menus tailored to their needs, including a formula that allows unlimited tarte flambée to foster a communal atmosphere. Steinmuehl also offers outdoor seating, providing space for al fresco dining when conditions permit.
