Strasbourg is located in the territory of Alsace, where the national cuisine of France has undergone a significant correction by the culinary traditions of Germany. Therefore, its main ingredients are potatoes, eggs, cabbage, meat from farm animals and poultry.
Restaurants often serve knack sausage, pork ham with sauerkraut. Often these ingredients are prepared with exquisite French ingenuity. Baeckeoffe, for example, is made from lamb, beef and pork meat in Alsatian wine with potatoes.
Traditional Strasbourg dishes also include more "French" items: snail meat, foie gras, Matross-style sauce, homemade noodles.
The cornerstone of Alsatian cuisine is pastries. Meringues, buns, pies, Christmas cupcakes, pretzels - and all this with the most diverse flavor variations. Local restaurants are famous for mulled wine, brandy and, of course, beer.
