We ended up at this fantastic local restaurant by coincidence since we could not find anything open i Hochfelden. Just loved everything about this place. Like nothing had changes for many years with the decor and the red- and white checkered tablecloths underneath the plastic. The waiter gave ud and our little dog a warm welcome. He spoke very well german. Many locals came here for a drink and a decent meal. We had to try snails (for the first time in many years) and actually liked it. Also enjoyed Alsace whitewine and beer.

A truly heartwarming dining experience! Although we could hardly speak either German or French, the owner and his friends were accommodating and super friendly. We ordered Foie Gras and Kassler for entrée. The serving was generous and food was authentic and heavenly! Au Boeuf is really a family restaurant & we had an amazing time there!

Our group of 8 showed up last minute for dinner and although the menu was a bit limited, the food and service were fantastic and the chef even drove our wives back to our boat after dinner. Very friendly staff and a great time for all.

Although it was the only place open when we docked in this quiet little town, we were very lucky to dine there! Amazing food, very tasty, artistic and interesting. the service was amazing considering no one spoke English, and my French can not be excused... the waitress and the bar tender made sure we are enjoying a very good meal and the local yet smart and very skillfully handled dishes were a delight.
