A Hand-Picked List of the Best Restaurants in Strasbourg

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.

This is the exterior of La Maison des Tanneurs. It's one of the best places to eat in Strasbourg.

1. Le Gurtlerhoft

This is the inside of Le Gurtlerhoft. It's inside a wine cellar and there are tables with people eating.

This is the Choucroute Garnie at Le Gurtlerhoft that I had. There is sauerkraut, potatoes, and three types of pork.
Choucroute Garnie

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 is the interior of Fink Stuebel. There are tables with red table clothes and you can see the wooden frame of the building.

    This is the Vol-au-Vent at Fink Stuebel. It's a pastry filled with veal and chicken. It's in a white cream
    Vol-au-Vent at 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).

    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

    This is the main dish I ordered at La Chaumière. It has fire roasted beef with mashed potatoes.
    Main Dish
    This is the dessert I ordered at La Chaumière. It's a chocolate fondant next to a scoop of ice cream.
    Dessert

    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).

    4. La Cloche à Fromage

    Delicious Salad with Saint Marcellin Cheese at La Cloche à Fromage
    The Entrée
    Crème Brûlée Dessert at La Cloche à Fromage
    The Dessert

    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.

    Fondue Tarte Flambee at Binstub Broglie
    The Fondue Tarte Flambée
    Dessert Tarte Flambee at Binstub Broglie
    The Dessert!

    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.

    6. Vino Strada

    Delicious Entree at Vino Strada Stub
    Mouthwatering Dishes at Vino Strada Stub

    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.

    7. Piano Grill

    This is a starter dish at the Piano Grill in Strasbourg. There is raw white fish and sliced mango. There is salad and a lime on top. It's all on a white dish.
    The Starter
    This is a main dish that I had at the Piano Grill. It is a lamb dish with roasted chestnuts in a sauce. It's all on a white dish and there is a leaf of parsley on top.
    The Main Dish

    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.

    Reservations: Required (Make your reservations here)

    Cost: €20–40

    Address: 8 Place Saint-Étienne

    Opening Hours

    • Tuesday to Thursday: 12:00 pm – 2:00 pm and 7:00 pm – 10:00 pm

    8. Aux Armes de Strasbourg

    This is the interior of Aux Armes de Strasbourg. There are tables with checkered table clothes and wooden chairs.
    Inside Aux Armes de Strasbourg
    This is a photo of the Cordon Bleu at Aux Armes de Strasbourg. Next to it is a side of vegetables.
    The Cordon Bleu

    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

    This is my crispy pollock from La Cuiller à Pot. It's a white fish next to some vegetables.
    Crispy Pollock
    This is the Fondant au chocolat from La Cuiller à Pot that I ordered. It's in a small white cylinder. Then next to it is a spoon and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
    Fondant au Chocolat

    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 is the Jambonneau Braisé à la Bière at Le Kuhn. It's pork next to sauerkraut and two potatoes.
    Jambonneau Braisé à la Bière

    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

    Panoramic View of La Maison des Tanneurs
    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

    This is the interior of Maison Kammerzell. There are tables with white table cloths and napkins. The walls are covered in frescoes.
    Inside Maison Kammerzell
    This is the Choucroute aux trois Poissons at Maison Kammerzell. It's three types of fish layered on a bed of sauerkraut.
    Choucroute aux trois Poissons

    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.

    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’

    Delicious Entree at Le Stras
    The Entrée
    Delicious Main Dish at Le Stras
    The Main Course

    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.

    Cost: €20-30

    14. The Drunky Stork Social Club

    This is the interior of The Drunky Stork Social Club. There is a sign with the name of the restaurant, the bar with bartenders, and the area around the bar with the self-serve brunch.
    Inside The Drunky Stork Social Club
    This is the omelet I ordered at the The Drunky Stork Social Club. It's folded and next to three pieces of cheese and a slice of bread.
    My Omelet

    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

    • Sunday: 11:00 am to 11:00 pm

    15. Chili Thaï Lanna

    This is the appetizer I ordered at Chili Thaï Lanna. It's a combo platter with a selection of all the appetizers.
    Appetizer
    This is the Boeuf Hung Lay at Chili Thaï Lanna that I took. It's beef with nuts in a sauce.
    Boeuf Hung Lay

    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.
