The escargot appetizer was easily the highlight. Swimming in butter, and with a soft texture that has some bite, I understood why it was a mainstay of French cuisine. But the cocktails, man... fruity perhaps, or spirit-forward, but always with a short flavor profile and absent balance. Our mains of a Caesar salad and fish and chips were admittedly not French. (We were told later that the duck is the menu's highlight.) But everything on the menu should live up to the restaurant's standard, whatever it is. The fish and chips were unseasoned, though the crust crispiness was 5/5. And my friend asked for table salt to finish her salad. The ambiance in there is nice at least, but the food left us wanting.

And when your walking tour guide tells you a fun story about a Michelin-starred restaurant and it's interesting name, you decide to take yourself there. I haven't been to a Michelin-starred restaurant in a very long time and I have never been to one alone, but it was still a lovely experience. The staff was very attentive, kind, and knowledgeable. The food was inventive and enjoyable, though I admit I had a hard time understanding the waitstaff sometimes, so I wasn't always sure what I was eating, but luckily I'm willing to eat anything. I had the discovery menu (appetizer, fish, entree, dessert), 3-course wine pairing, coffee, and the restaurant's "extras" which included some very tasty amuse bouche at the beginning, small desserts with the coffee, and even a cookie to take a home. I did not order from the cheese cart, but it was fun to watch it wheeled out for others. For a Michelin restaurant, I found it very reasonably priced and accessible, though I'm not sure I can say I was completely blown away by the food (wine was fantastic, though). But I did see the crocodile! Which is where the restaurant gets it's name: in the 1800s a sailor came back from Egypt with a stuffed crocodile and had the bright idea to use it as a marketing (who wouldn't want to see a stuffed crocodile?!?)

Such a beautiful restaurant! Amazingly friendly service! And of course delicious food!…read more We were in town for the Christmas market, so it was fun to take a break from being outside and eating mostly from food vendors. We came in for lunch and went with the market menu they were offering. We also ended up adding a cheese course, because when in France! Can't say no to cheese! I don't know if it's the primacy effect, but I loved the first course. It was like a little egg soup dish. So warm and hearty, it was just comforting. Everything else was good too, but the cheese was a major highlight for me. The waiter selected a sampling of cheeses for us from a huge cheese cart. It was fun to watch and see all the cheeses on display.

The restaurant is located on a nice tree filled square. We ordered a salad which we shared, followed by a meat and fish main course. Both main courses were nicely prepared.

We also enjoyed a bottle of rose - the wine prices are excellent throughout Strasbourg. Highly recommended.

We were immediately seated at our table and a waiter took our drink orders while we looked over the menu. Beer for me, Alsatian white wine for my friends. Dinner all around. Fish and chips was a good portion of fish with a massive pile of crispy chips. A tarte with cheese and bacon. (And if you don't know, a French tarte is basically a flatbread pizza.) Bacon and cheese spätzle (basically, mac and cheese with bacon). We were all about the carbs tonight and it was all delicious. Lots of food, all easily shareable and the service was excellent. I don't know how "traditional" Alsatian this is, but it was yummy. We were here for close to two hours and at no time did we feel rushed. Online menus made it easy to order in English and everything turned out quite well. [Review 16428 overall - 63 in France - 1936 of 2021.]

I'm totally confused on why they are not Michelin rated . For all the silly reviews with low star…read moreratings , come on , there is a McDonald's down the street and that's where you belong. This restaurant is now going to be haunting me in my dreams it was that good . First off, the onion tart is crack. The perfect crust with fluffy eggs and onions and bacon. I would say generally I'm not the biggest fan of quiches, but the onion tart is a must. Then we had the white asparagus special with a soft boiled egg and lentils with the most flavorful dressing ever. I was with my two daughters and wife and we split the onion tart and asparagus special as an appetizer, and literally a fight almost broke out among us. Then we split the steak, pork filet and potato pancakes. Just absolutely delicious. My older daughter does not like salad and she actually couldn't believe she liked the side salad that came with her steak. Not the lame iceberg bagged salad mix you get it some restaurants. This was frise, endive and radicchio in a vinaigrette that was spot on. Best french fries ever as a side on the pork fillet. Incredible home fries as the side on the steak. I wish I would've taken photos to post, but the dishes were getting destroyed as soon as they came out. We had the rhubarb pie as a dessert and Panna cotta. We are coming back tomorrow for lunch and getting the asparagus and tart again. It was that good.

The restaurant is very cozy and it was fairly busy yet we found a table after a short wait! We started off with a couple of appetizers: sunflower/pumpkin soup and eggs/potato quiche! For the main entrees, we ordered regional dishes such as sausage/pork with sauerkraut along with a very delicious venison with mashed potates! The food at this restaurant is extremely delicious and their cooking is much more German influenced rather than typical french food! Overall this was a great lunch experience and we also got to enjoy the Alsac cuisine which was an added bonus!

We went to the other PF location and I satisfied my potatoes au gratin craving. I thought it was a vegetarian dish, potatoes and munster cheese, but right before they served it they let me know it had ham. I wasn't too jazzed, but I was hungry- and WOW, it was delicious! Unfortunately I didn't get the large crock pot serving, but a very small and cute serving. It was deep and there was plenty, with small slices of ham. ALMOST glad it was smaller. My hubby enjoyed the many types of beers to choose from and had the burger and fries- can't go wrong with that!!

L'Ancienne Douane offers some traditional Alsation cuisine prepared by Le Chef Frederic Kurtz…read more There are a number of flambee entrees on the menu but I chose a more hearty entree. The entree featured two kinds of wurst, a slab of bacon, potatoes and their own signature sauerkraut. I loved the slab of bacon but the desert, an apple tart with raspberry sauce was phenomenal. Fortunately I ordered only a slice not the whole pie. I can resist anything but temptation. Many entree was under 12 Euros. In Strasbourg and in much of Europe the tax and tip is included. I love beer and am always willing to sample a local brew so I had the Fischer de Noel. I think I have a romantic relationship with amber beers and when ever given a chance I give a shout out homage to Sam Adams. Others at the table chose various red and white wines. I have to say I was unfaithful to my first love beer by having a glass of white wine as well. L'Ancienne Douane is situated about two blocks from the famous Notre Dame Cathedral and about 1 km from the train station. Established in 1401, the restaurant was once the site of a custom house. The interior is divided into a number of sections, each having it's own character. Overall i would call it rustic French country. Reddish brown and white checkered table cloths with wooden tables brighten up the room. Service was extremely quick and efficient. I believe I was in the restaurant for only an hour. They accept American credit cards but it is better to have Euros. There are a lot of ATM machines in this central part of town, especially by the cathedral.
