I’ve been living in Strasbourg since 2019, and I love going out to eat. I’m always looking for new places to try, whether it’s a family-run bistro or an upscale restaurant. And today I want to share with you my favorites.
In this guide, I’ll show you where to find the best tarte flambée, the most delicious fondue, and much more. I’ve personally eaten at each restaurant on this list at least twice so I can give you a complete review.
Let’s take a look at the top restaurants in Strasbourg.
1. Le Gurtlerhoft
This is my favorite traditional Alsatian restaurant in town. It’s located in a 14th-century wine cellar near the Strasbourg Cathedral.
The setting is cozy and intimate, even though it’s in a touristy area.
I ordered the Alsatian menu and took the choucroute garnie, a must-try in Strasbourg, as my main dish. To date, it’s the best I’ve had in France.

2. Fink Stuebel
This traditional Alsatian restaurant is another favorite of mine. It’s located near La Petite France but away from the crowds so you can enjoy a peaceful meal even during the high season.
The interior design is cozy and inviting (photo above), like a traditional winstub.
The menu offers a variety of Alsatian dishes. I, personally, loved the Vol-au-Vent (photo above).
Overall, the portions were generous, the food was tasty, and the service was friendly. I didn’t feel rushed or pressured to eat quickly (which is often an issue in some of these traditional restaurants).
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–30
Address: 26 Rue Finkwiller
Opening Hours: Wednesday to Sunday: 11:30 pm to 2:30 pm and 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm
3. La Chaumière
La Chaumière is a contemporary French-style restaurant. But what makes it stand out is how the food is prepared. Every dish is made in-house with seasonal ingredients and meat-based dishes are cooked in a wood-fire oven.
The food was so flavorful and I savored every bite.
It’s also off-the-beaten-path, far from any tourist venue, which makes the atmosphere calm (a characteristic I’ve had a hard time finding in Strasbourg).
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €25–35
Address: 12 Rue de la Fonderie
Opening Hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
- Friday: 12:00 pm to 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm to 10:30 pm
- Saturday: 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm
4. La Cloche à Fromage
For cheese lovers only!
At La Cloche à Fromage, expert cheesemakers will guide you on a cheese journey. You’ll learn about, taste, and experience one of the most heavenly foods on the planet.
They offer a variety of dishes, ranging from traditional fondues to elegant seasonal recipes. The products are fresh, and the cheese is aged onsite.
I’ve eaten here a few times, and I’m always impressed with the flavor combinations. Even the crème brulée (in the photo above) was made with cheese.
Helpful Tip: If you’re planning on spending three days in Strasbourg, make sure to book ahead. I, personally, had to book a month in advance.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €25–35
Address: 27 Rue des Tonneliers
Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday: 12:00 pm to 1:30 pm and 7:00 pm to 9:30 pm
5. Binchstub Broglie
Binchstub Broglie is one of the best places to try tarte flambée.
This regional specialty is like pizza but with an Alsatian twist. It consists of a thin crispy crust topped with crème fraîche, bacon strips, caramelized onions, and, of course, cheese.
While the traditional recipe is on the menu at Binchstub Broglie, there are several variations. My favorite was the fondue tarte flambée.
Make sure to save room for one of their famous dessert tartes flambées. They are, somehow, just as tasty.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €10–20
Address: 28 Impasse de l’Écrevisse
Opening Hours:
- Tuesday to Saturday: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm – 11:00 pm
- Sunday: 6:30 pm – 11:00 pm
6. Vino Strada
Vino Strada offers traditional Alsatian cuisine with a modern twist. And since it’s a cave à vin, their wine selection is also impressive.
The menu changes regularly and it’s based on fresh seasonal ingredients, so you know you’re getting the best of the best.
The setting is refined, and the dishes are inventive. There’s no doubt that you’ll be blown away by the flavors and creativity.
Reservations aren’t required, but I’ve always booked ahead. The few times I came without one, they were full.

Opening Hours:
- Monday to Friday: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm and 5:00 pm – 10:00 pm

7. Piano Grill
Located in Place Saint-Etienne, close to Strasbourg’s Notre Dame Cathedral, the Piano Grill should be on the top of every foodie’s list.
They specialize in Argentinian meat dishes, but there are also pasta, risotto, and fish options.
The chef creates seasonal cuisine with an emphasis on fresh high-quality ingredients.
I’ve eaten here so many times I’ve lost count. I’ve tried their meat and vegetarian dishes. Both were incredible. So far, my favorites have been lamb with roasted chestnuts, salmon curry, and saffron risotto.

8. Aux Armes de Strasbourg
Located next to Place Gutenberg, this traditional brasserie serves some delicious dishes.
Its rustic interior makes you feel like you’re at home. And in the summer, the terrace is a great place to people-watch.
The highlight of the menu is, without a doubt, their cordon bleu (photo above). And, after trying it myself, I can confirm that it’s very tasty (heavy but tasty).
Reservations: Not required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–30
Address: 9 Place Gutenberg
Opening Hours: Sunday to Saturday: 11:30 am – 11:00 pm
9. La Cuiller à Pot
La Cuiller à Pot is dedicated to serving locally sourced and seasonal dishes. The menu changes regularly, based on the produce available at the local market.
In 2018, the restaurant underwent renovations to create a beautiful contemporary atmosphere. There’s limited seating, ensuring that each customer receives the best service.
From the appetizer to the dessert, I loved every dish I tried. And it’s in a quiet area, even if you’re visiting during the Christmas market season in Alsace.
Helpful Tip: The menu has limited information on the ingredients of each dish. One dish had hazelnuts (something I’m allergic to) and it wasn’t listed.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–30
Address: 18b Rue Finkwiller
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Saturday: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm and 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
10. Le Kuhn
This French restaurant has a varied menu but specializes in traditional Alsatian dishes.
It doesn’t have the cozy setting you might expect, but the quality and flavor of the food more than makes up for it. So far, I’ve tried the jambonneau braisé à la bière and the palette fumée. Both were outstanding.
The staff was friendly, and the environment was relaxed.
It’s next to Strasbourg’s central train station, so it’s a great place to grab a bite to eat if you’re taking a day trip to Colmar.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–30
Address: 15 Rue Kuhn
Opening Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 11:30 am to 2:30 pm and 6:30 pm to 10:30 pm
- Sunday: 11:30 pm to 2:00 pm and 6:30 pm to 9:30 pm
11. La Maison des Tanneurs
La Maison des Tanneurs or House of Tanneurs is one of the best Instagram spots in Strasbourg. So much so that it’s considered a symbol of this Alsatian town.
This 400-year-old building was dubbed a historical monument in 1927 and transformed into a restaurant in 1949. The menu features Alsatian cuisine in its most authentic form.
Not only that but you’ll be dining in the most picturesque neighborhood in the city, La Petite France.
In summer, the terrace is open, giving one of the most unique views of the district.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–35
Address: 42 Rue du Bain-aux-Plantes
Opening Hours: Tuesday to Saturday: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm
12. Maison Kammerzell
Maison Kammerzell is the oldest building in Strasbourg. Built in the 14th century, its gothic-style architecture is something not to be missed, especially during the holiday season.
The cuisine is French with an emphasis on traditional savory Alsatian cuisine.
Their best dishes are those based on choucroute. So far, I’ve tried the Choucroute au Canard Confit and Choucroute aux trois Poissons and both were beyond what I expected.
I enjoyed the setting, and the view of the cathedral was impressive. On the downside, the service was too robotic and the other options on the menu were overpriced.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €25–35
Address: 16 Place de la Cathédrale
Opening Hours: Sunday to Saturday: 12:00 pm -1:45 pm and 7:00 pm – 9:45 pm
13. Le Stras’
In the heart of Petite France, you’ll be dining in a popular area, yet, at Le Stras’, you’ll be secluded.
There’s a chic yet welcoming ambiance. And the menu is just the same. It changes with the seasons and the chef uses only the finest produce. The dishes are fresh and full of flavor.
The only negative I found was the wine list. It was very limited, but that’s hardly a reason not to visit.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20-30
Address: 9 Rue des Dentelles
Opening Hours:
- Tuesday and Thursday – Saturday: 12:00 pm – 1:30 pm and 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
- Wednesday: 7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
14. The Drunky Stork Social Club
If you’re looking for a more casual dining experience with a unique and quirky atmosphere, then The Drunky Stork Social Club is the place to go.
This restaurant offers a varied menu with American, French, and English-style dishes. And their selection of cocktails is impressive.
I, personally, loved the brunch. It was full of savory and sweet dishes and the omelets were so tasty. Plus, the coffee and other hot drinks were unlimited.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €30–40
Address: 24 Rue du Vieux-Marché-aux-Vins
Opening Hours:
- Monday to Saturday: 12:00 pm – 1:30 am
- Sunday: 11:00 am to 11:00 pm
15. Chili Thaï Lanna
There’s no denying that traditional restaurants are a must-try in Strasbourg, but if you’re craving something different, Chili Thaï Lanna is the place to go.
This cozy restaurant serves up delicious and authentic Thai food. The portions are generous, the prices are reasonable, and the food is bursting with fresh flavor.
It’s one of the newer places on this list, but it’s growing in popularity. Every time I’ve gone, I’ve booked a table.
Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)
Cost: €20–30
Address: 8 Rue d’Austerlitz
Opening Hours: Monday to Saturday: 12:00 pm – 1:45 pm and 7:00 pm – 9:45 pm
