Hippopotamus
The Hippopotamus chain is a French fast-food eaterie offering sumptuous good-quality steaks, burgers and decent salads and desserts in a young, fun environment. It's perfect for families and groups, with good value set-meal options, including children's menus. This branch is located in the heart of Strasbourg's shopping district, close to the place des Halles.
Munsterstub
Near the cathedral, this traditional winstub (pronounced 'veenshtub' and meaning a wine bar-restaurant serving local specialities) is one of the best places in Strasbourg to try traditional food. The atmosphere is convivial and pub-like, with outdoor seating, wooden beams, ornate brass fittings and old paintings. House specialities include boned pig's trotters stuffed with three meats.
Au Crocodile
Chef Emile Jung combines his love of haute cuisine and regional cooking at this renowned Strasbourg restaurant. Already awarded two Michelin stars, the restaurant offers superb food, a long and well-chosen wine list, attentive service and a relaxed atmosphere in which to enjoy fine dining. Located near the cathedral and place Kléber, Au Crocodile is elegantly decorated in a classical style with ochre tones.
Buerehiesel
Antoine Westermann has earned a Michelin star for the refined regional cuisine at Buerehiesel, a 17th-century country house at the heart of the Parc de l'Orangerie. The chance to dine in a timber-beamed room - or on the summer terrace - overlooking the lush greenery of the park is one not to be missed. Try dishes such as his ravioli with onions and chervil served with frogs' legs.
Le Violon d'Ingres
Located in the Robertsau district, this plush, richly furnished restaurant attracts businesspeople, locals, and members of the European parliament who enjoy elegant, well-prepared modern French cuisine. Among the set menus is one devoted entirely to seafood. Impeccable service is part and parcel of this establishment's refined, sophisticated atmosphere.
L'Alsace à Table
Located near place Kléber, this gorgeously attractive 1920s Parisian brasserie is decorated with paintings, wooden tables and sea scenes. On offer is a good choice of dishes, including fish of the day and chef's suggestions. There is a strong emphasis on traditional Alsatian cuisine, and the house speciality is choucroute aux trois poissons (sauerkraut with three fish). The first floor is tailor-made for business meetings or banquets.
