Starters to awaken your palate
Begin your meal with exquisite Alsace classics such as the house-made foie gras d’oie marinated in cognac and late harvest wine, served with crisp toasts that delight with every bite. Or indulge in the traditional escargots à l’alsacienne — tender snails bathed in garlic butter and parsley, accompanied by fresh bread. For those seeking rich textures, the presskopf à l’ancienne (head cheese) melds pork with seasoned gelée, while the salade alsacienne combines cervelas sausage and emmental cheese over a bed of fresh greens dressed in vinaigrette.
Hearty mains embodying rustic tradition
The main courses at Chez Yvonne celebrate robust Alsatian fare with generous portions that satisfy every appetite. Savor the tender jambonneau paired with your choice of potato salad or classic choucroute and a kick of horseradish. The slow-braised pork jarret comes with golden sautéed potatoes infused with herb butter. Delight in quenelles de foie in a creamy sauce, complemented by sautéed potatoes and fresh salad greens. Traditionalists will appreciate the tête de veau prepared pot-au-feu style, served with tartar sauce and steamed potatoes.
Other standout dishes include the smoky Maennerstolz sausage, accompanied by choucroute or potato salad; young coq cooked sous vide with a creamy mushroom sauce over spaetzle; and bibeleskaes, a creamy white cheese paired with both white and smoked ham and sautéed potatoes. For a luxurious touch, the filet de boeuf is served alongside seasonal vegetables and sautéed potatoes, while the sautéed veal escalope with mushroom cream sauce and spaetzle embodies refined Alsace cooking. Fish lovers can enjoy the filet de sandre roasted on the skin, served with a riesling sauce, choucroute, and steamed potatoes.
Decadent desserts and delightful drinks
End your meal on a sweet note with signature desserts like kougelhopf glacé drizzled with marc de gewurztraminer, or the classic crème brûlée infused with bourbon vanilla pods. The baba au rhum soaked in Diplomatico rum offers a luscious finish, while the meringue glacée provides a light, refreshing contrast. Chocolate aficionados will relish the mi-cuit au chocolat served with airy crème anglaise from a siphon.
