La Maison du Kougelhopf, Buhler pastry shop
La Maison du Kougelhopf, the Buhler pastry shop, is on Rue du Dôme, on the Grande Île, between Place Broglie and the cathedral. Its name puts the spotlight on kougelhopf, Alsace's emblematic cake.
Kougelhopf, an Alsatian emblem
Kougelhopf is a brioche baked in a tall, fluted ring mould, traditionally studded with raisins and topped with almonds. It is shared at breakfast or teatime. The shop takes its name from it: a chance to taste this Alsatian classic right in the centre.
Rue du Dôme, towards the cathedral
Rue du Dôme links the Place Broglie area with the surroundings of the cathedral. The shop is well placed for a sweet break before or after visiting Notre-Dame, or to take a kougelhopf home as a souvenir.
