Reviews Summary
Buerehiesel offers an exceptional gastronomic experience in a stunning, romantic setting, lauded for its haute French cuisine and Alsatian specialties. Reviewers consistently praise the quality and presentation of the food, the beautiful ambiance, and the attentive service. However, a few diners noted occasional long waits between courses and a desire for brighter lighting in certain dining areas.
"We enjoyed a very relaxed meal here. Buerehiesel boast of a lovely setting, with a beautiful conservatory in the park. The menu was well presented and had a variety of classic and modern French dishes. The wine menu was extensive and complimented the food well.
The dishes were beautifully presented and we enjoyed the frogs legs and the starters the most. The veal was slightly tough unfortunately. However the other dishes we tried were very well cooked and had great flavours.
The service wasn't very attentive, and we had extremely long periods between courses. Fortunately, we weren't time pressured, so this wasn't as much of an issue as it could have been.
I would definitely like to revisit and see what other delicious dishes Buerehiesel have to offer."

"Lunch (menu d'affaires). Have wanted to visit for some time and was not disappointed. Excellent food and wine pairing, beautiful setting and staff who went above and beyond to welcome and accommodate us. Thank you for a lovely experience!"

"9/10 for the Rouget dish with vengole. 10/10 for the veal Lacaune dish with artichokes purée. Also 10/10 for the soufflé dessert “soufflé chaud à la pêche blanche et sorbet au thym”. 7/10 for the mille-feuille au chocolat with sorbet chocolate. Lacks freshness. However 10/10 for the starters savory Kugelhopf and micro flammkuchen. So kind careful and attentive service. We were here for dinner. It was my first Michelin star restaurant in France. So nice atmosphere outdoor on an evening of 32 degree summer day surrounded by the nice typical Alsatian architecture and the green all around. The Buerehiesel is an Alsatian house dating from 1607. Around 10 tables of 3 and 5 outdoor under lovely sunshades. Very romantic atmosphere. For the record, the building was brought piece by piece to the park on the occasion of the International Industrial Exhibition of 1895. Her vegetable garden and gazebo came with her. This year marks the year when Strasbourg hosted the international event in the Orangerie Park.
Pity it was too gloomy at the tables on the terrace. If you want to see what is on your plate and the nice colors of the dishes and the desserts prefer to book a table inside. Lovely and luminous inside."
