Gourmet getaways in Northern Moselle
In Sierck-les-Bains, the day takes on a special dimension at a table like that of Alexis Baudin, located in the village of Malling. The chef offers contemporary cuisine that highlights local produce, in a refined setting perfect for relaxation.
The surrounding hills then lead to Vignoble L'Orphelin, where young winemaker Romain L'Orphelin cultivates his vines organically from scratch, or to Domaine du Stromberg, whose gently sloping plots toward the Moselle, between Contz-les-Bains and Haute-Kontz, produce wines that tell the unique viticultural story of this corner of Moselle.
The day naturally continues at the Brasserie Artisanale de Rodemack, nestled in one of the Most Beautiful Villages of France, in a convivial atmosphere where original, artisanal beers perfectly complement the experience.
An ideal getaway for a day combining culinary discovery and Moselle Valley landscapes.

Exceptional gastronomic experiences
In Montenach, the Michelin-starred Restaurant Le K, at the heart of the Domaine de la Klauss, embodies a cuisine fully attuned to the seasons and local terroir. The chef offers precise and creative dishes, where each ingredient is carefully selected and highlighted with modern flair.
The surrounding landscapes lead to the Domaine Sontag in Contz-les-Bains, a family-run estate for four generations nestled along the Moselle, or to the Domaine du Mur du Cloître in Haute-Kontz, overlooking the river, Sierck Castle, and the Chartreux Abbey of Rettel—an exceptional panorama to accompany the tasting.
Further on, the Artisanal Distillery Leisen, passed down from father to son in Malling, reveals another facet of local craftsmanship: high-quality liqueurs, eaux-de-vie, and spirits, tasted directly on site.
A refined interlude to savor during a leisurely lunch or a gourmet weekend in Northern Moselle.
Local flavors and artisanal craftsmanship
Some addresses favor a more relaxed atmosphere, where guests come as much for the setting as for the food. In Colmen, the restaurant La Verrière welcomes visitors under a large glass roof housing an impressive wine cellar—setting the tone from the moment you walk in. In Manderen, Relais M offers a cozy gourmet stop with a menu that changes with the seasons.
In terms of artisanal production, the Brasserie Papyllon in Sierck-les-Bains embodies the local brewing dynamism: above all, it’s a family story that has lasted nearly 100 years, driven today by a passion for independent and original creations.
The juices and products from Verger Wagner in Halstroff complete this discovery with an agricultural and seasonal approach, featuring apple juices made from a harmonious blend of different varieties grown on site.
A simple and authentic way to explore the region through its producers and their craftsmanship.
