Strasbourg's culinary identity revolves around hearty Alsatian classics like choucroute garnie, baeckeoffe, and tarte flambée. For an authentic choucroute, try Maison Kammerzell at 16 Place de la Cathédrale, where a generous portion costs around €22. Baeckeoffe, a slow-cooked meat and potato stew, is best at La Corde à Linge, 2 Place Benjamin Zix, for about €19. Tarte flambée, a thin crust topped with cream, onions, and bacon, is a must-try at any winstub.
🥨 Where to Start
Begin your food exploration in the Petite France neighborhood, a picturesque area with narrow streets and traditional winstubs. Head to Au Pont Corbeau at 21 Quai Saint-Jean for a cozy atmosphere and dishes like baeckeoffe and choucroute, with mains from €15 to €25. Another great starting point is the Krutenau district, popular with students and locals for its affordable eateries and lively bars. From the city center, tram lines A and D will get you close to both areas.
🥖 Street Food and Markets
Strasbourg's street food scene shines at the Christmas market, but year-round you can find excellent grab-and-go options. Place Broglie hosts a weekly market on Wednesdays and Fridays, where you can buy fresh pretzels, sausages, and local cheeses for under €10. For a quick bite, try the tarte flambée stands at Place du Marché Gayot, open daily from 11:30 to 14:00 and 18:00 to 22:00. Don't miss the opportunity to sample a flammekueche from a food truck along the Ill River.
🍷 Winstubs and Bistros
Winstubs are traditional Alsatian taverns that serve hearty local fare and excellent local wines. S'Zawermer Stuebel at 3 Rue des Frères is a charming spot with a menu featuring pork knuckle and sauerkraut, with prices around €18 to €28. For a more modern take, Le Bistrot des Cocottes at 6 Rue des Tonneliers offers seasonal dishes and a good wine list, with mains from €16 to €24. Reservations are recommended on weekends.
🧀 Cheese and Charcuterie
Alsatian cuisine features robust cheeses like Munster and tomme, often paired with charcuterie. Visit La Cloche à Fromage at 17 Rue des Orfèvres to sample a variety of local cheeses and buy some to take home; a tasting plate costs about €12. For charcuterie, head to Maison Frick at 12 Rue de la Mésange, where you can find saucisson, jambon, and pâté. These shops are typically open from 9:00 to 19:00, Tuesday to Saturday.
🍰 Sweet Treats and Desserts
Strasbourg is famous for its kougelhopf, a sweet yeast cake with raisins and almonds, and its gingerbread. Pick up a freshly baked kougelhopf at Pâtisserie Christian at 5 Rue de la Râpe, where a small cake costs around €6. For gingerbread, visit Maison Lips at 4 Rue de la Râpe, a historic shop open since 1823, with prices starting at €4. Another must-try is the tarte aux myrtilles (blueberry tart) at any local bakery.
🍺 Local Drinks and Pairings
Alsatian wines like Riesling, Gewurztraminer, and Pinot Gris are perfect with local dishes. For a wine tasting, visit the Cave des Hospices at 1 Place de l'Hôpital, where a flight of three wines costs about €10. Beer lovers should try a local brew at Brasserie Fischer at 7 Rue de la Krutenau, with pints around €5. Many winstubs also offer beer pairings with their menus.
đź’¶ Budget and Mid-Range Eats
Strasbourg offers plenty of affordable options without sacrificing quality. For a budget lunch, try the daily special at Le Petit Château at 3 Rue du Château, where a plat du jour costs around €12. Mid-range dinners can be found at La Corde à Linge, with three-course menus from €30. Keep in mind that many restaurants close between 14:00 and 18:00, so plan your meals accordingly.
The Wednesday market at Place Broglie is worth going early for the warm bredele stand near the tram stop.
Good guide, though the cheese section deserves more credit. I'd swap La Cloche à Fromage for a Saturday morning run to the Marché Neudorf, where the Munster fermier from the stand near the entrance is younger and creamier, around €8 for a wedge. Pair it with a Riesling from the same market and you've got lunch for two under €20.
Skip Maison Kammerzell and go to Chez Yvonne on Rue du Sanglier instead, same choucroute, half the tourists.

Good write-up, though Day 3 is overstuffed. Kehl plus Jardin des Deux Rives plus shopping in one day is a lot of tram D time. I'd cut Kehl and spend that morning at the Musée de l'Oeuvre Notre-Dame instead, the sculpture collection is genuinely underrated and sits right by the cathedral. Also Au Pont Corbeau fills up fast, book ahead.
the cathedral tower is cash only for the 5 eur, caught me out last time. also check the astronomical clock show times, they change by season not just 12:30. christkindelsmarik is actually a december thing btw, rest of year place broglie is just a normal market
Skip Chez Yvonne and grab a kebab at Place Broglie instead, way better value after a long cathedral climb.
