Incredible Restaurants in Alsace that We Shouldn't Miss

by Ellis Krauss
(California USA)

My wife and I were going to stay in England in July and perhaps spend time in London after a trip to the Lake District. But then my wife had an inspiration.

Why not go to Alsace, her ancestral home where we have never visited despite being avid travelers. And after looking at VRBO rentals and various other web sites, I discovered yours.

We are now planning to go to Alsace after the Lake District instead of London (take the Eurostar and then the TGV to Strasbourg) for perhaps a week or more. I just want to thank you so much for having a great web site with very useful information.

Now for our question:

We are foodies--my wife reads 5 gourmet food magazines/month and is a great cook.

We love eating at good restaurants of all types, from basic to fancy as long as he food is based on fresh, local ingredients, well-prepared, creative and delicious.

Can you recommend a few in Strasbourg especially?

Thanks for any further information. And again thank you very much for your very useful and interesting website(s).

Best, Ellis Krauss

The Best Restaurants in Alsace
by: Suzele

I cannot recommend the Michelin Red Guide 2009 France enough...

If you want to experience the best food Alsace (and all of France) has to offer, this is the reference book for you!

We use the Michelin Red Guide for France all the time when we are in a part of France that we are not familiar with.

My husband's family uses it too.

Almost everyone in France uses it! And a lot of people who visit France do too (especially since they have it in English!)

Of course you can get the Michelin Red Guide for France in French and many different languages if you would like...

It lists all the starred restaurants in France, as well as all of the restaurants that haven't earned a starred status yet but are still excellent.

It also lists very good restaurants with lower prices.

And of course hotels and bed and breakfasts both the best of the best and the very good at a good price.

And since Strasbourg is the biggest city in Alsace, of course, it has some really great restaurants!

But don't think they're all in Strasbourg, Colmar or Mulhouse.

In France many of the best restaurants are in small villages. In France people are willing to go a little out of their way for food of this caliber.

I've eaten in a few of these restaurants myself and I can say that it was definitely worth the drive.

That being said...

My Strasbourg restaurant recommendations come straight out of the Michelin Red Guide 2009 for France...

The only two starred restaurant in Strasbourg is Au Crocodile.

There are three one starred restaurants in Strasbourg...

Buerehiesel
La Casserole
Umami

Now that's far from everything in Strasbourg or Alsace for that matter.

There are almost 30 starred restaurants in Alsace and as you can see, most of them are not in Strasbourg.

If you really want to have a foodie experience in Alsace, you may want to pick up a copy of the Michelin Red Guide 2009 France and consider renting a car.

The top restaurant in Alsace isn't accessible by train unfortunately. And neither are the majority of the villages on the wine road.

Hope it helps,
Suzele
