Brunch in the Historic City of Strasbourg

From the moment we stepped inside, the inviting décor and bustling bar created a delightful atmosphere. The multilingual staff warmly greeted us and made recommendations.

Though prices seemed steep at first glance, generous portions of exceptional fare proved it was worth every cent. Our veggie burger, Asian-inspired dish, and coffee dessert were absolute standouts – fresh, complex, and satisfying.

Wash it all down with a locally brewed beer from Meteor and you’ve discovered a true hidden gem. Whether dining solo or with friends, this place delights body and soul. I’ll be back time and time again!

2. Chez Nous

Located beyond the bustle, we wondered if “Chez Nous” was worth the trip. How wrong our doubts were – the family-style food delighted. But it was the waitress who made our meal truly memorable. With sincerity and patience, she translated the entire French menu. Her friendly manner put us fully at ease. For an authentic local experience with top-notch service, journey beyond the center to “Chez Nous”!

3. The Drunky Stork Social Club

My friends and I were seeking the ideal spot for a relaxing Sunday brunch in Strasbourg, and we certainly found it at Café Sébastopol. The century-old building in a prime downtown location sets an elegant backdrop.

But it’s the extensive buffet that really wowed – catering to all tastes with fresh salads, homemade tarts, charcuterie, and more. Staff were attentive without being intrusive.

We lingered for hours, replenishing our plates as we caught up. This is surely the place to come to properly fuel up for a day of exploring. Highly recommended for a memorable brunch experience in Strasbourg.

4. Salon de thé Grand’Rue

From the moment I stepped inside L’Arbre de Noel, I was transported into a Christmas wonderland. The charmingly decorated exterior hinted at further delights within.

Small, intimate dining rooms – one upstairs via an enchanting staircase – provided the ideal backdrop for lunch. Friendly staff warmly greeted us beside a cozy fireplace.

Though I only enjoyed tea and pastry, the light lunch menu looked tempting. A co-worker’s meal was both delightful and excellent value in the heart of Strasbourg.

This beautifully festive spot is the perfect place to pause while exploring the historical Old Town streets. I’ll be returning throughout the season to prolong the magic. Christmas joy overflows at L’Arbre de Noel.

5. Au Diable Bleu

Meat enthusiasts will be in heaven at this steakhouse’s bountiful beef selection. Whether ribeye, strip, or filet, each cut was perfectly prepared to tender melt-in-your-mouth glory. Our server enthusiastically recommended dishes despite the language barrier. Her friendliness enhanced the experience. While pricier than others, high-quality ingredients and excellent service mean value for money. For special occasions or beef connoisseurs, this is the place to indulge in carnivorous cravings.

6. L’Atelier 116

True to word-of-mouth, our pastry selection – from buttery croissants to fruit-filled tarts – exceeded expectations. Flaky, rich, and texturally sublime. Service was efficient given the limited space, moving patrons through smoothly. Outdoor seating allowed on-the-spot indulgence. The only blip was the underwhelming hot chocolate, lacking depth of flavor. But that’s a minor gripe – for awe-inspiring baked goods in a cute setting, I’ll happily wait in line anytime. The pastries are beyond worth it!

7. Au Fond du Jardin

Within minutes of entering this quaint patisserie, my companion and I were lovingly indulging in their fare. The madeleines and pate de fruits melted in our mouths, absolute perfection. We couldn’t resist taking more as gifts. As delightful as the treats were the staff – the owner and his assistant exuded enthusiasm and friendliness. Next time, we’ll carve out time to linger over tea and chat. To miss this charming spot in Strasbourg would be a shame!

8. Le Michel

When we returned the next day, we knew this local gem was doing something right. Despite being packed with regulars, service remained smooth. Standout salads like the niçoise and chicken creation bursting with citrus and veg thrilled our taste buds. Flavors sang without pretension. The daily special of couscous had us coming back for seconds. So hearty and satisfying.

For dessert, the cafe gourmand allowed us to sample an array of sweets without overindulging. Whether popping in once or making this your neighborhood bistro, expect delicious French fare served with a smile amidst the lively atmosphere. Quality and value ensure we’ll be back time and time again.

9. Les Innocents

This dinner surpassed all others during our trip to Strasbourg. From start to finish, the quality shone through in unique, flavorful dishes crafted with care. But it was our host Manon who made the experience unforgettable. Her delightful, attentive service added immense charm. Every detail felt gracefully attended to so we focused solely on enjoying the culinary artistry. Thanks to incredible food and superb service from Manon, this is surely the high point of any Strasbourg visit. Truly exceptional dining.

10. Bistrot & Chocolat

During the bustling Christmas Market, this gem provided an inclusive haven. Seeking vegan and gluten-free options, we lucked into a quick table. The brunch did not disappoint – imaginative dishes bursting with flavor. From tofu scramble to nut loaf, each item enticed the senses. Best of all, lightning-quick service meant minimal wait despite crowds. For a festive, stress-free meal catering to all diets, this cozy café is the spot to fuel festivities. We’ll be back!

11. The Dubliners

Arriving just before the kitchen closed, we lucked into fish and chips. The fried cod stood out – flaky, moist fish ideal for sunny patio dining. Chips were average but the salad and tasty tartar sauce made up for it. We enjoyed our lunch in the small bar area, though many seats surrounded the building. Friendly staff made the experience pleasant despite the tight timeline. All in all, quality fish and a nice vibe – we’ll be sure to allot more time next visit.

12. AEDAEN Place

This pleasant dual-concept spot proved popular, underscoring a reservation recommendation. In the brasserie, we lucked into a table and were pleased by attentive service alongside delicious fare. The entree of Pita Tandoori burst with flavor that livened taste buds before a solid veal main.

However, an unwelcome surprise was the dogs freely roaming inside – a serious health code violation where I come from due to allergen and hygiene concerns. While food and service merit return visits, allowing indoor pets detracts from the dining experience and we’d prefer canine-free meals. With that caveat addressed, it remains a nice neighborhood option.

13. L’Expresso

Rushing to catch our train, this sweet patisserie proved the perfect affordable breakfast stop en route. For a mere fraction of our hotel’s price, the “salé” arrangement of ham, cheese, and bread easily fueled us.

My partner’s café crème and my espresso hit the spot too. Efficient, friendly staff had us back on our way so promptly. Despite a last minute decision, it gave our day the right start. For budget breakfasts near the station, this charming spot delivers.

14. L’Epicier Grand Cru

A short wait was worthwhile at this cozy corner café. Our quiche, muffins, and croissants arrived fresh from the kitchen, tasting as good as they looked. Brunch plates at neighboring tables were equally enticing. Service was pleasant despite the bustle. With tasty treats and hospitable staff, it’s no wonder this charming spot filled up quickly. We’ll be sure to arrive early next time!
