The best dining in Strasbourg

Strasbourg, like the rest of Alsace, is famous for its cuisine, which is slightly different from traditional French food due to the German influence. There are several Michelin-starred restaurants in the city, as well as many brasseries and cafes.

We recommend ordering an excellent tour that will suit both ordinary tourists and the most sophisticated gourmets. See more details here.

Au Crocodile

Au Crocodile is the perfect example of a French restaurant celebrating the finest achievements of the national culinary school, for which it was awarded a Michelin star. Here you can taste complex multi-ingredient delicacies that you would never prepare at home!
