Strasbourg's hidden gems
Restaurants
Foudre Feu
An intimate restaurant away from the crowds of the city centre, Foudre Feu offers a weekly changing menu featuring beautifully crafted dishes made exclusively with locally sourced, organic seasonal vegetables.
It is the perfect setting for a romantic dinner, as well as for a relaxed meal with family or friends. Warm, refined and welcoming, the restaurant offers an experience defined by simplicity, quality and creativity.
Binchstub Brooglie
The Binchstub Brooglie is the essential Strasbourg address for tasting the traditional Alsatian tarte flambée. The atmosphere is lively, friendly and wonderfully convivial, with guests often sharing tables in a spirit of warmth and good humour.
The drinks menu is carefully curated, while quality remains the guiding principle throughout. Difficult to define in a single word, La Binstub Brooglie is at once a pub, a street-food restaurant and a celebration of Alsatian generosity, enhanced by the excellence of French hospitality.
Pubs & Coffee Shops
Le Cours du Corbeau
One of Strasbourg’s most remarkable hotels, Le Cours du Corbeau is located just a short walk from the city centre. Passing beneath the sign of a medical laboratory, visitors enter the magnificent interior of a 16th-century half-timbered house.
Every day until 10 p.m., guests may sit on the terrace and enjoy a glass of wine or a coffee, even without staying at the hotel. Just minutes from the Cathedral, it is a place of exceptional tranquillity and understated elegance.

We do recommend
Les Caves des Hospices
The Civil Hospital of Strasbourg was once run by monks, who produced their own wine. That tradition has endured: today, numerous Alsatian wine estates age their wines in these historic 16th-century cellars.
Open daily with free admission, Les Caves des Hospices offer visitors the opportunity to discover a foudre—a large wooden wine cask reputed to be the oldest white-wine barrel in the world.
The University Botanical Garden
A hidden gem, little known even among Strasbourg residents, the University Botanical Garden lies about a fifteen-minute walk from the city centre and surrounds the university’s astronomical observatory. Dating back to the 19th century, the garden offers an intimate and distinctive atmosphere in every season.
Winding paths lead through shaded groves and majestic trees to two greenhouses: one dedicated to tropical plants, the other home to cacti and remarkable species from the world’s deserts.
Les Bains Municipaux
Housed in a majestic late-19th-century building that blends Art Nouveau with Neoclassical architecture, the Bains Municipaux offer an exceptional setting in which to relax and unwind.
Featuring several saunas, a hammam, and both indoor and outdoor swimming pools, this elegant wellness destination welcomes visitors every day. From dawn until sunset, it provides the perfect retreat in Strasbourg—a refined place to pause, rejuvenate, and enjoy a moment of serenity after a day spent exploring the city.
