Au Pont Corbeau restaurant in Strasbourg

Strasbourg, France

Au Pont Corbeau

Among Strasbourg's winstubs, Au Pont Corbeau on Quai Saint-Nicolas operates at the direct end of the price spectrum while holding a Michelin Bib Gourmand and an Opinionated About Dining Casual Europe ranking, credentials that place it well above the tourist-trap brasseries lining the Ill. The formula is Alsatian cooking in its most direct register: communal tables, bottles that catch the light, and the kind of noise that arrives when a room is genuinely full.
