Le Strasbourg

Le Strasbourg stands in the heart of the Parc Naturel des Vosges du Nord and operates a gastronomic restaurant within a three-star hôtel-restaurant. The kitchen’s philosophy prioritises absolute freshness, seasonal market produce and short local supply chains, collaborating with named regional producers: goat cheese from Julie d’Eguelshardt, organic vegetables from Ferme Vegetal Respekt, trouts from Christophe Werner, local escargots, bison from Petit-Réderching and fromage de Léa. Cynthia Janisch manages front of house and a cellar of roughly 350 wine references chosen to reveal the dishes’ essence. The house presents set menus — market, seasonal and the Apothéose tasting — with suggested wine pairings, offers gift vouchers and accommodates allergies and dietary requirements. The establishment is selected in the Michelin Guide for modern/contemporary cuisine. Service is convivial and attentive, with direct access to the hotel’s floral and artistic Jardin pour la Paix. The setting combines a refined dining experience with a welcoming, service-driven atmosphere. The cuisine is creative and market-driven, focusing on seasonal, locally sourced ingredients and contemporary gastronomic techniques. Plates are frequently finished with herbs and edible flowers harvested from the hotel’s own garden. Lutz Janisch leads the kitchen; he trained in France after leaving the former GDR, undertook formative stages with Jean Albrecht, the Arnsbourg family and the Haeberlins, and opened Le Strasbourg on 12 November 1997. Specialties include bison tartare with oysters; grilled foie gras with dandelion and balsamic pearls; unilateral sea bass with beurre blanc; slow-cooked quasi de veau with mushroom-stuffed conchiglioni; and Iberian pork filetmignon Solomillo with butternut and hummus.
