The Arnsbourg gourmet restaurant
The sumptuous Maison de L’Arnsbourg is set amid lush natural surroundings.
A veritable institution handed down from generation to generation by the Klein family, L’Arnsbourg is one of France’s most Michelin-starred restaurants.
A must for travelers in search of excellence, emotion and serenity, in August 2016 this Lorraine institution became part of the Laure and Fabien Mengus family, adding an unparalleled sensory dimension.
In the image of the couple, the table rivals in excellence, poetry and precision.
The audacity of the thirty-somethings is combined with humility and respect for this emblematic table.
We sit down with emotion and leave with the promise of returning.
The majestic dining room has been given a facelift.
The wood panelling has been replaced by contemporary tones, as if to better appreciate the luxuriant natural surroundings that are offered up with unparalleled generosity through the many bay windows.
Room service is impeccable, in the image of Laure Mengus, refined and delicate beyond compare.
The wine list is stunning in its depth and richness.
Chef Mengus’ signature dishes, such as the Foie Gras trilogy or the langoustine declination, take on a whole new dimension here.
Here, Chef Mengus’s signature is combined with a new boldness, just right and harmonious.

Fabien Mengus began his career at François Golla’s Bœuf Rouge in Niederschaeffolsheim.
After graduating, he quickly moved to Ascona, Switzerland, where he worked at the famous Castelo Del Sol Relais & Châteaux.
A few years later, in 2001, he returned to his homeland and joined Chef François Paul’s team at Le Cygne de Gundershoffen, as Chef de Partie Poisson.
On his arrival, the restaurant already boasted 1 star in the Michelin Guide, and he and his team set out to conquer the second star, which was to shine in 2005.
Fabien’s talent and strong personality astonished Monsieur Paul, who saw tremendous potential in him.
In 2008, the Mengus family decided to unite their destiny with that of Le Cygne by signing a 3-year sales agreement.
The purchase sealed in 2011, the Chef, surrounded by a brigade he already knew well, confirmed the second star the following season, in March 2012.
As the years went by, the Chef pursued his quest for excellence and, with his wife, developed the outlines of a project as audacious as it was ambitious.
In April 2016, after several months of negotiations, Fabien and Laure Mengus finalized the acquisition of the prestigious L’Arnsbourg restaurant.
For this native of the region, expanding his territory of expression to that of Lorraine, and drawing inspiration from both Eastern and Northern Europe, is a source of infinite creativity.
For almost 4 months, the Chef tamed, sketched and fine-tuned a menu as sensory as it was accurate for this once three-starred restaurant.
At the same time, he finalized a long-standing project: to compose a refined, gourmet and accessible experience, transforming Le Cygne into an elegant and uncomplicated bistronomic table.
For Fabien Mengus, seasonality rhymes with emotion.
So, as the months go by and nature’s eternal cycles unfold, products offer different colors, flavors and textures, promising constantly renewed sensations.
The Michelin-starred Chef chooses these products with care and passion, sublimating them by infusing them with his personal creativity.
Each menu composed by the Chef has its own particular poetry… but always with authenticity and respect.
