The story
Between Strasbourg and Colmar, in the heart of the Vosges massif, the Metzger family runs a three-star hotel and restaurant that feels like a genuine escape. Auberge Metzger sits in the small village of Natzwiller, surrounded by the preserved landscapes of the Bruche valley. The setting is serene, the atmosphere unhurried.
At the stoves is Chef Yves Metzger, who prepares traditional Alsatian cuisine with a refined, inventive touch. Guests can enjoy his cooking in the restaurant or on the terrace overlooking the garden. The menu is rooted in the terroir: think choucroute, baeckeoffe, and other regional classics, executed with the precision that earned the restaurant a Michelin recommendation. The cuisine here is not about flashy innovation but about deep, honest flavour.
The building itself is a charming Alsatian inn with fifteen comfortable, light-filled rooms. The property includes a garden with a play area, reading and games lounges, and free Wi-Fi throughout. It is a place designed for lingering, whether you are exploring the region's monuments and activities or simply enjoying a quiet evening.
Auberge Metzger also caters to private events, from seminars for up to fifteen people to banquets for eighty. The restaurant's three-cocotte Logis rating and Michelin nod speak to the consistent quality of the experience. For those seeking a taste of Alsace that is both traditional and carefully crafted, this family-run address delivers.
