Strasbourg restaurant recommendations
Mrs_dergon and I will be in Strasbourg for 4 nights at the end of April.
I have never been. Looking for recommendations for dining (or other activities as well if the mood takes you)
Will be looking for a full range of options from fancy high end to casual. Let the ideas fly!
Thoughts?
Thanks!

High end ... the Buerehiesel in the Orangerie Park for fine dining http://www.buerehiesel.fr/
Local but good, Gurtlerhoft just off the cathedral square http://www.gurtlerhoft.fr/#
and for a taste of paradise, you could travel to the Auberge de l'Ill at Illhaeusern http://www.auberge-de-l-ill.com/ ... not particularly easy to reach (being closer to Colmar than Strasbourg) but oh my days ... WONDERFUL!!! And you could overnight at the adjacent Hotel des Berges!

Good things to go on. We will have friends with the car one of whom is a permanent designated driver :-) so maybe we will try that last one for a big splurge.

I wanted to add two additional restaurants from our Strasbourg dining for future users.
Pierre Bois & Feu
It is a small place just up a little street on the Isle near the riverboat dock. Although there were numerous entrees available, just about everyone (and the place was full) gets the steak. It is served seared rare, then the chef comes around with a super-heated cast iron iron (like an old iron for ironing clothes) and "stamps" the steak to make it sizzle hot on the plate.
Was delicious.

And
Winstub S'kaechele -
A tiny little place with maybe seating for 20 or so. A single server who is also the hostess. Then ( I think) her husband is cooking in back. She's very friendly. I heard her converse in French, German and English at various tables.
It is a cozy and very homey atmosphere, like being in someone's large home dining room. Traditional Alsatian fare.

Bump on this thread. Headed to Strasbourg next month and was hoping for some recent input. Planning on visiting the reinvented Au Croccodile.

About an hour outside of Strasbourg, the classic restaurant (on the French side) was always Auberge des Illes in Illehausern, three Michelin stars for many years and very pretty, although it's almost nicer for lunch than dinner.

Hello, I'll be going to Strasbourg (& Alsace) for the first time (for the Christmas markets).
Michelin lists in the city center these three Bib Gourmand places:
Au Pont Corbeau
https://guide.michelin.com/en/grand-...ont-du-corbeau
"Experience local gastronomic specialities and traditional decor (Renaissance features, posters) in this restaurant next door to the Musée Alsacien, with its displays of popular art"
Chez Yvonne
https://guide.michelin.com/en/grand-...-burjerstuewel
"A buzzy vibe and closely packed tables set the scene in this winstub, whose menu is the epitome of Alsace tradition (cockerel in Riesling, garnished sauerkraut, braised knuckle), albeit with a few more creative dishes, such as their delicate Alsace makis. Don’t miss the chance to sample one of the house specialties: melt-in-the-mouth pork cheeks slowly braised and simmered in a velvety pinot noir sauce – to die for!"
Le Bistrot d'Antoine
https://guide.michelin.com/en/grand-...trot-d-antoine
Near Place St-Étienne and the rue des Frères, this super bistro has cracked the formula for success: tasty produce, preferably local and seasonal, generous dishes from the traditional repertoire (including kâseknepfle and schniederspaetle), a friendly atmosphere, a natural and biodynamic wine list... and good value for money.
d'Antoine - food looks neo-bistro/least "Alsatian"
Yvonne - the maki is disconcerting but the menu reads traditional, a bit worried it's now too touristy, like Comptoir Abel in Lyon?
Corbeau - seems the most "local" and reviews say place gets rammed and service can be slow? I'm concerned as plan is land SXB 1735, get into town 18ish, walk around the xmas markets till close and arrive at restaurant for 2030, but worried even if we get a booking for 2030/2045 won't get served the main course until 2130?
Any other recent restaurant reviews appreciated!
Thank you.

It's not in the Michelin Guide but in the past two or three years, I have had two good meals at Restaurant Le Kuhn. I had the Duck Tataki, but it also offers more traditional fare. If you are in the vicinity of the main train station, it's worth a visit. https://lekuhn.com/
