Restaurant in Schiltigheim: exceptional know-how
In the refined setting of the restaurant “l’Imaginaire”, chef Pierre Irion invites you to discover a delicate cuisine of the market, declined with the seasons.
In the center of the old town of Schiltigheim, Pierre Irion and Elodie Dreher invite you to have a good time in their cozy restaurant. On the menu, the choice is limited. A few starters, main courses and desserts that testify to the chef’s desire to offer seasonal cuisine made with fresh products.
All dishes are homemade with local products. They are worked with care and precision to offer a refined cuisine in Alsace. The mixtures made have been carefully thought out by the chef operating method and subtlety around textures and flavors.
The perfect cooking and seasoning of the dishes reflect the mastery of the chef who over the years has enriched his knowledge and his skill. He now demonstrates ingenuity in his delicate creations. The aesthetics are as well worked as the taste. Each aspect of the products is highlighted and plays in its mixes to offer visuals and tastes that are all different from each other.
The Schiltigheim restaurant knows how to serve classics executed to perfection with good products. He also knows how to reinvent them in his own way. By adding different flavors or modifying their structure to reveal a yet unsuspected aspect. He also knows how to marry products that we are not used to seeing on our plates which, once in the mouth, seem obvious and full of taste.

An imagined card that reinvents itself
On the menu at the moment: slice of veal cut from its rib, grilled polenta, morels stuffed with poultry, yellow wine jus. Or grilled scallops, Arborio risotto, green asparagus. But also the tasty Rigatoni stuffed with poultry and truffles. At the same time, the wine list changes according to the seasons. Always leaving a large choice among 200 references in the cellar.
A sommelier is also present. Tell her what you like and she will serve you the dream. And generally a very nice dream. A very pleasant smile and joie de vivre also characterize her.
The establishment also puts forward an “Inspiration” menu which, as the name suggests, depends on what the chef has in mind and the products he has at his disposal. The menu is served in 4 stages and the chef can adapt and serve a meal without meat if you request it.
In “l’Imaginaire”, love is in the kitchen
An admirable journey
Pierre Irion and Elodie Dreher met in Schiltigheim where they opened their own restaurant. The chef first passed through several prestigious establishments such as La Wantzenau or Arnsbourg. Until landing in Schiltigheim where by a stroke of fate, he stopped to eat at the “Imaginary” at the moment when the former owner wanted to sell the establishment.
Pierre then looking for a calmer situation jumps on the occasion with the support of his companion. The restaurant is rather modest which allows them to have a less sustained work pace than in their previous experiences and to have a simpler daily life while flourishing. After three months of renovation, the restaurant finally opens in May 2018. They completely transformed the place by calling on renowned interior designers who gave it a new modern, cozy and soothing identity.
A flawless complicity at the service of the Schiltigheim restaurant

With Elodie in the service and Pierre in the kitchen, the couple goes hand in hand to offer the best of their cuisine. Their proximity allows Elodie to accurately detail the charm of her husband’s meals to customers and to convey the customer’s wishes to the chef. Their trust is the lifeblood of their restaurant and is essential to the smooth running of every customer’s meal.
The service is discreet and friendly, the owner is attentive and takes note of your requests.
The little extras that make the difference
The restaurant has a website where you can find the menu of the moment. You can observe the menus currently put forward as well as a photo gallery of the various dishes. The site is regularly updated and allows you to keep up to date with restaurant news. But also to book your table very easily.

L’Imaginaire is now a must in the Strasbourg region for any lover of traditional cuisine.
