"L'épicerie" is a cosy little bistrot in Strasbourg's center. It's furnished like and oldfashioned colonial store so you'll feel beamed back to 100 years ago.
Their speciality are tartinettes - pieces of dark bread with a variety of different spreads. Best order a few different tastes with your friends and share, so you'll be able to enjoy a few of them. The deserts on offer are mouth-watering as well. And how about some French wine as a company for your lunch/dinner?
This is an easy-going place for having a relaxed lunch or a cosy hang-out for an evening with friends. Enjoy!

Favorite Dish: Tartinettes with sour cream, herbs and bacon

This restaurant is located in the heart of 'La Petite France' on the bank of the Ill River in one of the old houses there. It has an excellent menu and service, not to forget a wide selection of Alsatian wines. The atmosphere is great in this busy and bustling place. Traditional musicians perform at lunch and dinnertime.

Favorite Dish: Alsacian specialities.

La cloche a fromage ( means the bell of cheese) is a special restaurant/shop
and its included in the Guiness world records with more than 70 different type of cheese
you can choose 3 different plates.The chief will come to explain where to start how to follow
and what to do according to your choosen plate .Intersting experience for strasbourg .
If you manage to eat all your plate they give you a carte of fidelity !!!

Favorite Dish: cheeses of course but it becomes difficult to eat the last pieces of cheeses

The worst service I have ever experienced. A French waitress that can't use a corkscrew and 45 min without any drinks or menus. The lighting was set like an interrogation room, Note to Au Canon, you don't need to have all the lamps and all the overhead lights on especially when they are 75watt bulbs.
The above is just the beginning except to say that it was Christmas Eve. We left in protest, after two hours, one drink, no starter and but an entree did randomly appear. Luckily we managed to find somewhere else at 2200. We left some very thirsty hungry people at the mercy of Au Canon. I'm sure not the best Christmas they ever had...

Favorite Dish: The fois gras was the only dish that managed to get to our table in 2 hours, very good quality fois gras, would have been nicer if the wine we ordered had been served - at all - and if we had actually got the starter that was included in the menu before the fois gras.

Favorite Dish: They have a very good Flammekuche for 7 euros. For 14 euros, the Matjes (filleted small herrings) were very tasty.
Bière de Noël (Christmas bier), a bier with aromatics and lemon for 3 euros

Bibbeleskäs is another traditional dish from Alsace. You can see on the photo various delicatessen, steamed cooked potatoes and fresh cheese added with chives, parsley and other herbs.

We had for 17 euros a bottle of red wine "Rouge d'Otrott". I recommend this little known wine from Alsace.

The Nid de cigogne (stork's nest) for desert was for 6.50 euros and yummy (photo)

This small restaurant is situated in the Petite France. Note that it is called "Aux Deux France" and not "Aux Deux Frances". I wonder why!

It is quiet and cosy and the food is good.

Favorite Dish: The regular Tarte flambée/Flammekuche was 7 euros, the Tarte flambée gratinée (with cheese added on top) 7.50 euros, a 1/2 liter pot of Riesling 8.60 euros. The Flammekuche was good but the filling, though very good, was a bit "too much" for a typical Flammekuche.

Au Grenadier is a large restaurant and Brasserie standing in Grand'rue. From the outside, the look is nicely antique. Inside, it is much larger than expected and very busy. We arrived at12:30 and hesitated because there were only a few tables with customers while we has seen another restaurant booked out. However, while we were wondering whether we should look for another place in a few minutes, several customers came in. We came in too and five minutes later the room was full! During the whole time we were dining, new customers were queuing up outside!

Favorite Dish: We chose first a Tarte flambée/Flammekuche. For those who do not know what is a Flammekuche, it is looking almost like a pizza but with a very, very thin paste underneath. The thinner, the better. The filling is made of onions, lardoons, fresh cheese (cottage cheese type), cream and sometimes coated with grated cheese. It is a traditional dish of Alsace, cooked very fast in the oven of the baker before the bread, when the fire is very strong, with flames, hence the name. When you are a party (even two!), NEVER order a Flammekuche for each one. As the whole thing is very thin, it cools fast! The Flammekuche is for sharing. You can either tear off a bit with your finger (advisable) or cut it with a knife and take it with a fork (if really you are unable to use your fingers). When the first one is finished, you will order a second one, etc. You will have always a freshly cooked Flammekuche on your table.

The Flammekuche was 10 euros, a bit more expensive than elsewhere but absolutely delicious, the best we had in town.

We had the worst experience here - the restaurant looked nice from the outside and we were in a hurry. we were "pointed" to a table the waitress then ignored us until my husband stood up and asked her to serve us some drinks. She then slapped them down on the table - the staff were milling around and taking food off the serving thingo so they and us were eating the not so good leftovers! except we had to pay then when we went to pay the man we had to pay was nowhere to be found and after 15 minutes we were about to leave some money when he arrived from the back room and shouted at us - tres tres bizarre

Favorite Dish: it was lukewarm or old
