Abstract

Strasbourg eats on the seam between France and Germany, and the table shows it. The winstub, a wood-panelled Alsatian tavern, is the city's signature room: you go for choucroute garnie piled with sausage and salt pork, baeckeoffe slow-cooked in Riesling, and tarte flambee blistered thin on a wood fire. The wine is Alsatian and aromatic, Riesling and Gewurztraminer poured by the glass, and the beer is local, because Strasbourg has brewed since the Middle Ages. Pastry runs deep here too, from the ring-shaped kouglof to the pain d'epices that scents the winter air. The city's restaurants range from Michelin rooms like Au Crocodile and 1741 to the market stalls of the covered halls, but the through-line is Alsatian, hearty, and unmistakably its own. Come hungry; portions are not shy.
