The 8 Best Restaurants in Strasbourg (2026)

Updated November 2026 · 8 picks

The best restaurants in Strasbourg in 2026 are Au Crocodile, Le Buerehiesel and the Michelin-starred 1741 for fine dining, and the winstubs Chez Yvonne, Le Clou and Le Tire-Bouchon for Alsatian classics such as choucroute and baeckeoffe. Maison Kammerzell is the landmark meal by the cathedral.

A winstub is Strasbourg's version of a bistro: a wood-paneled wine room serving Alsatian wine by the pitcher and hearty food — choucroute garnie (sauerkraut with sausages and pork), baeckeoffe (a slow-baked casserole of meats and potatoes), tarte flambée (flammekueche), bibeleskaes (herbed fromage blanc with potatoes) and spaetzle. Portions are big. Strasbourg also has some of France's most respected fine-dining tables. Book ahead in December, when the Christmas market fills the city, and see our Strasbourg Christmas markets guide.
