These Alsatian specialties that are worth the trip

Open for 3 years in Guebwiller, the restaurant Cercle Saint Léger offers traditional cuisine that highlights the specialties of the region.

The managers of the traditional Alsatian restaurant in Guebwiller, Philippe Wisselmann and Céline Zeisloff, welcome you to discover or rediscover sumptuously prepared regional specialties. We will hesitate between the Flammekueche, the sauerkraut or the fleischnakas. But also lesser-known dishes prepared by the chef. Like the old-fashioned marinated herring, plain or mustard cream and the homemade duck foie gras with peach cream from the vines.

As you can see, at the Cercle Saint Léger, specialties are essential. This also applies to another specialty of Alsace, wine. We will be tempted by a Vouvray 1989 by the glass with why not, the famous torch with chestnuts of Maxence for dessert.

They offer Alsatian dishes generously served and at low prices. Count less than 15 euros for a complete menu with starter, main course, dessert at lunch. Mussels and fries days at will take place regularly. The restaurant also highlights its homemade desserts such as their succulent rhubarb pie or their equally good black forest.

A traditional and Alsatian heart in Guebwiller

After a short time of closure, Philippe Wisselmann and Céline Zeisloff decided to take over the establishment in 2017. Indeed, they both had a crush on the place and therefore undertook the adventure.

This is not Chef Philippe Wisselmann’s first experience. He first obtained his CAP at the hotel school of Guebwiller and then he did an apprenticeship at the winstub flory in Colmar. He then worked at the hotel-restaurant Kuehn and the Batelier in Colmar. Before successively managing the winemaker’s cellar in Turckheim, the crazy pig in Gunsbach and the ondines in Mouterhouse for a total of 28 years of restoration.

Thanks to this well-stocked career, he quickly spotted the potential of the Cercle Saint Léger. He has a total freedom that lets him create and offer the dishes he loves so much and this with good product. All these years were made in the region that he did not lose sight of to finally make a return to the roots in Guebwiller.

The manager Céline Zeisloff, meanwhile, is in the dining room and takes care of the proper functioning of the restaurant. The house welcomes with good humor its guests looking for a good time and makes sure that everything goes well for you. All in an intimate setting, which gives him time to welcome you in person and linger when there are special requests.

A unique setting in Guebwiller

In addition to offering delicious meals, the restaurant also enjoys a beautiful environment and convenient conditions. You can enjoy this place even before tasting the food. The restaurant has a large private car park that will delight many city dwellers too often accustomed to walking several minutes to reach the restaurant. The property is composed of a main room and a terrace. Count 40 covers for the room and 30 for the terrace. On the latter is a redwood more than 148 years old that provides shade so that children can move freely even in high temperatures. We also never get tired of the beautiful view of the vineyard!

We enjoy together and even at home

The traditional Alsatian restaurant in Guebwiller offers various services. You have the possibility to take away your takeaway. This is of great service when time is short and you can’t afford to enjoy the meal in the restaurant. And you also have the possibility to book for special occasions such as a baptism, a wedding or any other occasion. The large car park will make the place more accessible to several cars and the setting and space will let you enjoy quality service and cuisine with your family.

Note that the editorial team recommends bites to the queen or homemade pâté en croûte, served with fries and salad.

An unmissable of the Florival Valley

The Cercle Saint Léger has revealed its potential over the years and has conquered all those who have been there. The advantageous price and respect for traditional dishes allowed them to convince a large number. For regulars who regularly go to the restaurant and no longer want an Alsatian dish, the chef offers creative recipes with local products.
