Les Funambules

Les Funambules is a modern, Michelin-starred restaurant in Strasbourg founded by three partners. It earned its first Michelin star in January 2019 and received three toques from Gault&Millau. The team stresses that everything is 100% homemade and pursues continual research and creativity. The contemporary, warm dining room is decorated with black-and-white photographs of funambulists and centred on a glass table mounted on a teck-root pedestal, creating an intimate, suspended atmosphere. The kitchen offers refined, contemporary cuisine that draws on the chef's travels and Asian influences while remaining rooted in seasonal, organic and local produce; menus evolve daily and offer multi-course tasting options with suggested wine pairings. The restaurant is today run by Chef Guillaume Besson. Specialties include the "sur le fil" tasting menu (four or six steps), foie gras prepared two ways, grilled ris de veau with truffle and Iberian pork as pulled shoulder in bao. The wine list focuses on biodynamic and natural wines, and a trained sommelier provides pairings; these decorative touches underline the concept of "cuisine on the wire".
