Following
Vineyard Tour and Tasting at Domaine Dirler-Cadé in Issenheim, with Jean-Pierre Dirler and Ludivine Cadé - Alsace Tour 2019 with the Weinfreundeskreis Hochheim, France
we had lunch at Restaurant Philippe Bohrer in Rouffach.
Philippe Bohrer has curriculum vitae as a chef that is most impressive, in particular during the early stages of his career.
His base has always Restaurant Philippe Bohrer in Rouffach, where we had lunch. For more than 2 decades it had a Michelin star but lost the star in 2014.
In addition, Philippe Bohrer was owning/ running at some point 26 restaurants in Alsace, including the world-renowned Au Crocodile in Strasbourg. He took it over from Émile Jung in 2009. Au Crocodile moved into the 3-stars Michelin group of restaurants in 1989 and stayed there until 2002, when it was downgraded to 2 stars. Philippe Bohrer took over in 2009. He lost in the following years both stars and finally sold Au Crocodile, which in the meantime has regained one star. In 2018, the Trip Advisor chose Au Crocodile as the best Gourmet Restaurant in the world.
Philippe Bohrer trained under Paul Bocuse, Jacques Lameloise, Bernard Loiseau and Philippe Gaertner.
Philippe Bohrer also was the head chef at the Palais de l’Élysée during the presidencies of
Valéry Giscard d’Estaing and François Mitterrand.
Restaurant Philippe Bohrer - Gault Millau 14/20
Dans un magnifique relais de poste du XVIe siècle, le confort moderne n’a pas abîmé l’authenticité des lieux, essentiellement décorés dans une veine très traditionnelle et bourgeoise, pour une expérience alsacienne au plus près des images d’Epinal. A table, l’expérience est prolongée par les assiettes de Philippe Bohrer, qui revisite le terroir local avec force d’expérience : pressé de foie gras de canard et truite du val d’Orbey fumée par nos soins, filet de turbot laqué au jus de morille, pesto de pimprenelle et jus verjuté, pigeon de la ferme Kieffer en viennoise de livèche, ravioles d’oignon au miel et suc de genièvre… Prix logiques.
Restaurant Philippe Bohrer - Guide MICHELIN 2019
Belle carte des vins.
Assiette MICHELIN : une cuisine de qualité.
Très bon standing.
Une belle demeure régionale à l'élégance bourgeoise et champêtre, pour une cuisine gastronomique associée à un judicieux choix de vins, notamment régionaux. Ambiance conviviale à la Brasserie Chez Julien, aménagée dans un ancien cinéma. Le mot de l'inspecteur
