Gourmet trip: discover Alsatian specialties
If you're visiting Strasbourg, you can't miss the Alsatian specialties.
Here, every bite tells a story, because Alsace is also (and above all) discovered through the plate with its iconic dishes like sauerkraut and tarte flambée.
The gastronomy is generous and cultural.
Treat yourself to a unique culinary experience in the heart of Alsace!
A symbol of Alsatian cuisine, sauerkraut is much more than just a dish.
Fermented cabbage, knack sausage, Montbéliard sausage, smoked bacon, all simmered for a long time and served with steamed potatoes. For a traditional version, head to Chez Yvonne in Strasbourg, an iconic Winstub that has been perpetuating the art of sauerkraut since 1870.
Flammekueche, or tarte flambée, is a convivial dish that's easy to share.
With its thin, crispy pastry, cream, onions, and bacon, it can be enjoyed plain, au gratin, or with Munster cheese. La Flam' also comes in a sweet version with apple.
To try it in a traditional atmosphere, head to La Binstub Broglie in Strasbourg or Mama Bubbele, renowned for their homemade tarte flambée.
The quintessential family dish, Baeckeoffe is a blend of beef, pork, lamb, vegetables, and white wine. It is slowly cooked in a terrine in the oven.
This comforting dish is especially popular for special occasions. Try it at Le Clou, an authentic Strasbourg wine bar, just a stone's throw from the cathedral.
You'll never leave without tasting bredeles, these small Christmas cookies of various shapes, or the legendary Kougelhopf, an Alsatian brioche with raisins and almonds.
To buy some or take some home, stop by the Maison Alsacienne de Biscuiterie or the Salon de thé Christian in Strasbourg, famous for its fine pastries.
Alsatian gastronomy would be nothing without its exceptional white wines.
The lively and mineral Riesling is the ideal accompaniment to sauerkraut; the sweeter Gewurztraminer enhances spicy dishes and desserts.
