In the category “Project-Hotel Dining” the prize was awarded at the french inn restaurant “L’Auberge de l’Ill“, project launched by the agency JOUIN MANKU.

The authenticity of an Alsatian Inn

From its terroir, it gifts wonderful produce and generous cuisine, l’Auberge de l’Ill is a restaurant to visit across the change of the seasons, the years, and its long history.

Since 50 years, the story has been written every day. Founders Jean-Pierre (famous for his watercolours of the area) and Paul Haeberlin were succeeded by their children Marc and Danielle, who were driven by the same love of the profession, of the location and of welcoming guests. The restaurant now counts 3-Michelin stars

A familial story

The kitchen of the L’Auberge de l’Ill reflects the image of the family: it lives through the generations. From Paul Haeberlin it takes tradition, with his famous mousseline of frog's legs and his Haeberlin fish. From his son, Marc, the perfect alliance of classic and contemporary, through his creations. And then, there is the generosity, the search for the right taste, for the elegance of presentation, and the excellence of a 3-Michelin star restaurant.

The service at the core of the restaurant.

For Danielle Baumann Haeberlin, service is present at every moment, and through each member of the great family of L’Auberge de l’Ill who receives you. A watchful eye, a genuine smile, an attentive and discreet ear...The excellence of 3-Michelin star service goes wonderfully with the spirit of the house.
