Where can I try Strasbourg's best specialities?
Just because you're on a business trip rather than a sightseeing tour doesn't mean you can't savour one of Strasbourg's delicious culinary specialities! Sauerkraut, baeckeoffe, flammekueche, spaetzle... enjoy all the flavours of Alsace and share a sociable afternoon or evening dining out with your colleagues.
Find a traditional restaurant in Strasbourg
Alsace is bursting with culinary specialities, each one more delicious than the last. It's easy to find a traditional restaurant in Strasbourg to sample them all; there are plenty of wonderful establishments in this city to which tourists from all over the world flock. To help you choose one, here are some iconic addresses where you can sample authentic cuisine at a business lunch:
- Le Baeckeoffe d'Alsace restaurant is the place to go for a hearty baeckeoffe, right in the heart of the Petite France district.
- For a copious sauerkraut, head to La Maison des Tanneurs, a renowned restaurant with typical Alsatian decor.
Just a ten-minute tram ride from the historic centre and not far from Nemea's Appart'Hotel Strasbourg, several restaurants await you for lunch and dinner. We recommend Les Garnements, a friendly establishment serving local and seasonal cuisine.
Alsatian cuisine and Strasbourg's culinary specialities
Almost as famous as sauerkraut, the tarte flambée, or flammekueche, is Strasbourg's other culinary speciality and a must-try during your stay in Alsace. This thin-crusted tart is topped with crème fraîche, onions, and bacon and is perfect for sharing. If you're a fan of pasta, spaetzle fried in butter will tantalise your taste buds. These dishes team perfectly with a charming Alsace wine*, or, if you prefer, a local beer*.
And to finish on a sweet note, don't miss the famous kougelhopf, a brioche baked in an enamelled terracotta mould. This traditional cake can also be enjoyed at breakfast time, so be sure to take one back in your suitcases!
