Can anyone recommend a good French restaurant in Strasbourg? We will have been in Germany for a week and would probably be ready for a good classic French restaurant, rather than German or Alsatian cuisine. We will be in Strasbourg for 3 nights later this month.

Alsace a'Table and Brasserie Flo. Both are excellent. At Flo for dessert have the Souffle Glace Grand Mariner.

Flo the most attractive:

Most of the major restaurants serve both Alsatian specialties and also food from the rest of France. And one Alsatian speciality that you might like to try is the <i>flammekueche</i>, which to my knowledge has no German equivalent.

You will also find as many couscous restaurants as anywhere else in France.

Thanks for the info, Kerouac and RonZ. Those two restaurants sound good, certainly worth a visit. I will definitely try the flammekueche.

flammekueche is a very very good treat.. with a couple of glas of wine, of course..
East of the Rhine in neighboring Baden or Palatinate, it would be also a local dish but called Flammkuchen (flamm/e = flame, kueche/kuchen = cake)

You will probably mispronounce it either way, but everyone will know what you want to order

If you want to try. It's two words actually:
flamme with a "british A" and a almost silent "E" as the final E in, well, merde (sorry, my French vocabulary is really basic)
kueche: the "ue" is like the German "ü" or the French "u" as in urgent or université. ch as in Scottish "loch". and again an almost silent "E"

And of course you will also see the French term "tarté flambée" just about everywhere.

Damn, ever since the last Windows update, my computer keeps putting accents where they shouldn't be without asking my opinion. The name is <b>tarte flambée</b>
