The history of the "Au Bœuf" restaurant in Blaesheim is closely linked to its strategic location in Alsace, between Strasbourg and Obernai.

Founded in 1686, according to one of the building's oldest tiles, the establishment has witnessed historical moments, mini "Franco-German" summits, as highlighted by the expression "the Blaesheim meetings."

It was here, in fact, that Valéry Giscard d'Estaing and Jacques Chirac respectively invited Helmut Schmidt in 1977 and Gerhard Schröder in 2001. The restaurant was already highly regarded at the time, as these guests returned several times for private visits, followed by other diplomats.

Since then, much water has flowed under the bridges of the Rhine. The establishment has written new chapters in its history. Joël and Magali Wiedemann offer refined cuisine born from the chef's inspiration and the freshest market produce.
Blaesheim, an authentic village adorned with half-timbered houses, is home to this restaurant that you simply must discover.
Quality, generosity, and a warm welcome make it the restaurant to discover south of Strasbourg.

In the cozy setting of one of the restaurant's three dining rooms, or in the tranquility of the beautiful terrace during the summer, you can savor its refined cuisine and appreciate the friendly welcome of your hosts during your stay in our hotel or for an overnight stopover between Strasbourg and Obernai.

Chef Joël is a discreet man who rejects the often-overused term "gastronomic" to describe his cuisine. But talent and expertise are certainly present in this chef, who has a reputation as an excellent saucier. After working for 20 years at the Sofitel Grande Île in Strasbourg, he is now passionate about sharing the quality and freshness of the finest local Alsatian produce. Prioritizing short supply chains, he works primarily with local producers he knows well.
