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.
In restaurants, sausages known as “knack,” and pork ham with sauerkraut are often served. These ingredients are frequently prepared with refined French creativity. For example, Baeckeoffe is made from lamb, beef, and pork stewed in Alsatian wine with potatoes.
Traditional Strasbourg dishes also include more “French” options such as escargot, foie gras, sailor-style sauce, and homemade noodles.
The cornerstone of Alsatian cuisine is pastry. Meringues, buns, pies, Christmas cakes, pretzels — all come in a wide variety of delicious variations. Among beverages, local restaurants are famous for their mulled wine, brandy, and of course, beer.
