Le Pavillon Gourmand

Le Pavillon Gourmand is a family-run gastronomic restaurant in the historic village of Eguisheim that combines Alsatian terroir cooking with a refined, seasonal approach. The house holds a Bib Gourmand (2010), the Michelin “Assiette gourmande” (2016) and the Maître Restaurateur title (2016). It reserves the right to adapt the carte according to seasons and arrivals of fresh products. The restaurant occupies an authentic 1683 Alsatian house in one of France’s most beautiful villages, with a renovated dining room and a summer terrace framed by timbered houses, geraniums and storks. The dining room is updated to modern standards while retaining the village character, producing a traditional, intimate atmosphere. The cuisine is gastronomic Alsatian terroir, centred on seasonal regional ingredients and classic local preparations revisited with refined technique. Menus include terroir and tasting options, a market lunch menu and wine-pairing suggestions, with a four-glass pairing offered for one menu. The house opens in May 1992 under Pascal Schubnel, who trains with Paul Bocuse, at Bernachon and Delorme in Lyon and at l’Auberge de l’Ill; the house passes to his son David in 2006. David trains at l’Auberge de l’Ill, works with Michel Bras and completes seasons at the luxury Les Airelles in Courchevel before becoming head chef. The team prepares homemade duck and goose foie gras sold in an on-site boutique and runs a traiteur producing terrines, rôtisserie and prepared regional dishes on order. Specialities include Choucroute royale; seared scallops with vegetable risotto and Riesling sauce; entrecôte of veal with morels; onion tart (tarte à l’oignon); and Gewurztraminer sorbet.
