L'Auberge de L'ill was rewarded its 3rd Michelin star in 1967 and was able to keep them to this day.Like Paul Bocuse and Troisgros family, other two French gastronomy legends, Haeberlin family managed to maintain the high level of their Alsatian auberge for decades, although the style of cooking reminds me much more the cooking of Paul Bocuse , than Michel Troigros (which i adore and consider one of the best restaurants in the world).
Have you seen "Le grand restaurant" ,the funny Louis de Funès movie about a Parisian gastronomic restaurant in the sixties? Well, i think that Bocuse and Heaberlin family cooking has remained in those times. Of course, the very warm welcome at L'Auberge de L'ill has nothing to do with Monsieur Septime character, the despotic owner of the restaurant from the movie, but food was nothing that one would expect from a modern 3 Michelin stars restaurant.
