Strasbourg's restaurants are a far cry from typical French cuisine. The proximity of the German border and historical vicissitudes have done their part. In the local cuisine, notes of German motifs persistently emerge. Although it is possible to find purely French cuisine, such as in the Au Crocodile restaurant. High cuisine with amazing delicacies will cost about 60 EUR per person.
Among the best restaurants in Strasbourg, visitors often mention Umami — a Michelin-starred establishment. Just as the fifth taste reveals itself through the right combination of ingredients, the restaurant’s menu showcases a unique blend of Asian and French cuisines. This culinary pleasure costs around 90 EUR per person.
Another highly praised restaurant in Strasbourg is Maison Kammerzell, offering a view of the cathedral from its windows. Inside, the decor features German-style murals by the Alsatian artist Léo Schnug. However, it’s best known for its exceptional Alsatian cuisine, with average prices ranging from 40 to 60 EUR.
Among Strasbourg’s affordable restaurants, La Bourse brasserie stands out. Here, typical local dishes such as fried fish, roasted chicken, and meat broth are served with beer. Prices in such venues average 25–30 EUR.
Some of Strasbourg’s best cafés include Ancienne Douane, where guests can enjoy the traditional Alsatian tart Flammekueche, prepared according to original recipes. At Flam’s, this same tart is made traditionally with bacon, onions, and cheese. Fireside Tavern offers American-style dishes. Prices in Strasbourg cafés range from 15 to 25 EUR.
