Auberge Saint-Walfrid

Situated on the road from Metz to Strasbourg, this pretty little inn – once a farm belonging to the church in Welferding – has been run by the same family since the late 19C. Having taken over from his father who built up the auberge’s gastronomic reputation in the region, Stephan Schneider (fifth generation) is now at the helm here. Guests dine in a large, plush and warmly decorated dining room with old parquet flooring and cabinets laden with gleaming Sarreguemines earthenware. The chef is a staunch champion of tradition who works with local market gardeners (he also has his own kitchen garden) and buys whole animals that he prepares himself, including cured meats. Spacious guestrooms are also available.

Historic dining setting with regional craftsmanship

• The restaurant's two dining rooms are decorated to showcase collections of Sarreguemines earthenware and Saint Louis crystal, blending local craft with fine dining ambience.

Michelin-starred chef championing regional terroir

• Led by Stephan Schneider, a Maître Cuisinier de France, the kitchen holds one Michelin star and emphasizes regional products, honoring tradition while exploring modern techniques.

A centuries-old backdrop in a former priory outbuilding

• The Auberge Saint-Walfrid is housed in a building that was a former outbuilding of the monks' priory of the Abbaye de Tholey, adding historic richness to the dining experience.
