What to Eat in Strasbourg

Why go

Food is an accessible way to read Strasbourg’s Alsatian identity. Choucroute garnie pairs sauerkraut with meat, while tarte flambée brings a much thinner, onion-and-cream preparation. Baeckeoffe is a substantial meat-and-potato casserole. The differences help you choose a meal by appetite and style rather than relying on a generic regional label.

Useful to know

• Look for “choucroute garnie” when you want the sauerkraut-and-meat dish.
• Ask about portion size before ordering a hearty casserole or mixed-meat dish to share.
