My wife and I had a romantic dinner at the Buerehiesel 2 days ago and loved it. Several years ago we ate in the previous incarnation of the restaurant when it had 3 stars and was presided over by Antoine Westermann. So while the 3 star ambience is now gone it under his son Eric it has been replaced by something more easy going, less formal but very friendly and enjoyable. The food is definitely the focus rather than the pomp and circumstance demanded by the Michelin rating system. This is also reflected in the attire of the customers (T-shirts and jeans rather than suits and ties) and staff (aprons and polo shirts rather than black suits and white shirts). The meal was excellent, entrees were carpaccio of St. Jaques (Emincé de coquilles Saint-Jacques de la baie de Morlaix, racine de persil, huile d’olive et citron) for my wife, frogs legs in a garlic and cerfueil sauce (Ravioli et cuisses de grenouille poêlées au cerfeuil) for me. This was enjoyed with a glass of the house champagne which I found to be excellent though I did not capture the name. This was followed by hare with a fantastic foie gras (Lièvre à la royale et foie gras poêlé, spaetzle à l’eau gazeuse et champignons des bois) for my wife and a delicious roast of roe deer (Noisette et gigue de chevreuil rôties, fruits et légumes d’automne aux chanterelles grises, parmentier d’épaule au foie gras et jus au vin rouge) for me accompanied by an excellent bottle of Cahors. Desserts, cooked figs and sorbet (Figues noires de Soliès crues et cuites, gelée aux épices à vin chaud, crémeux yaourt au citron vert et sorbet) for madame and chocolate souffle (Soufflé chaud au chocolat Manjari, crème anglaise à la vanille bourbon, sorbet à l’orange) for yours truly. Sadly we had a bit too much wine to sample the desert wines or digestifs on offer. We had a great meal and will definitely go back with friends. It would also be worth trying their weekday lunch menus probably a great deal at 35 euros...
