The restaurant

Le Cerf (former Hostellerie du Cerf), at 30 rue du Général de Gaulle in Marlenheim, is THE Marlenheim gastronomic table and a direct family-history resonance — the family worked the land and vines this restaurant celebrates, in their own village (source: mary-heritiage-alsace.md). Founded in 1930 by Paul Wagner in a former coaching inn, it held a continuous Michelin star from 1936 until it was lost around 2022 — “quasiment un record français” — and again holds one star in the MICHELIN Guide France 2025, with chef Joël Philipps at the helm alongside the Husser family (source: mary-heritiage-alsace.md).

The food is modern Alsatian: signature classics include great-grandfather Paul Wagner's bouchée à la reine and a celebrated choucroute, dubbed “la plus belle choucroute de la planète” by Le Monde (source: mary-heritiage-alsace.md). See Alsatian Cuisine. A 4-star hotel with 16 rooms, 2 suites and a wellness area makes it the most atmospheric place to stay in the village itself (source: mary-heritiage-alsace.md).

Mary's village

The Groh family's table

Le Cerf sits in Marlenheim, the ancestral village of Mary's Groh / Wohlfrom line at the heart of the Couronne d'Or. The family worked the land and vines this restaurant celebrates, making it the most heritage-resonant place to eat or stay on the whole Alsace leg.

Our notesThe village splurge

Marlenheim's gastronomic institution and the most heritage-resonant table on the route — a fitting one-night splurge in Mary's ancestral village.
