"Fantastic restaurant. Was recommended to us by staff at our hotel. Opens later than some but was worth the wait. Traditional restaurant serving lovely food. Reasonably priced too. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended."

"We waited over 90 minutes for our food. The food was good, but the sides came 10 minutes after the dish arrived, hence it was already cold.
The drinks were offered because of the waiting time, still would not recommend."

Restaurants in Strasbourg
This modern restaurant on a touristy street offers up creative dishes with regional flourishes that are a hit with both locals and visitors. The small dining room is a discreet space decked out in black and white, with the owner's artwork adding dashes of color. Menu choices include seared skin-on fillet of Heimbach-sourced trout, and steak with Munster sauce.
Five Of The Best Restaurants In Strasbourg
This small, contemporary gem that seemed to cater for locals rather than travellers is just steps from La Cloche à Fromage. Au Petit Tonnelier serves Alsatian classics with modern twists and makes a point of clearly stating that all food is made on the premises (something that doesn’t always happen in restaurants geared toward the tourist trade). We enjoyed eating at Au Petit Tonnelier twice – neither time with a reservation.
