The winstub of record two minutes from the cathedral — dark wood, checked tablecloths and a menu that has fed diplomats, ministers and everyone else who wanted proper choucroute, baeckeoffe and tarte flambée done without compromise. Strasbourg's political and cultural establishment has eaten here for generations; the room still runs on the same Alsatian rules it always has.

Must Try
The choucroute garnie, or the baeckeoffe if you called ahead — both are the reason this room has lasted.
Best Time
Dinner, any evening — book ahead, as the small room fills with regulars and visitors alike.
Know Before You Go
Strasbourg's classic winstub, steps from the cathedral. Reserve ahead; the room is small and the reputation is real.
