Long waiting times from 1h plus per course, very friendly service which could not compensate for the food which was dry, overspiced ( pepper sauce) and to some extent clumpsy.

Perfect service. Food was delicious and very typical. Perfect place for an evening out. A must try place

Authentic French bistrot with excellent food. Pieces des Boucher excellent and each sauce perfect. Foie gras starter delicious. Not at all touristy, chef and waiter staff only, really good choice if you want to feel like a customer not a commodity.

+2We stumbled across this great little brasserie on our first night in Strasbourg … we loved it so much we went back on our final night. Great Service, including the chef popping out to ask you about your meal, excellent food, in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Really nice lady serving us! Also the food was amazing!

A lovely little restaurant off the beaten path with very traditional French food. A new menu every day. We had the Cordon Bleu and an amazing fish dish in a Beurre Blanc sauce with a side of risotto. Every bite was delicious. We ate every bite. The chef and owner came out to see how we liked our meal. A lovely dinner. I’d highly recommend! P.S. if you love Absinthe or would like to try it, they offer many different kinds and the owner will show you how to enjoy it. They also offer a flaming Créme Brûlée with Absinthe and an absinthe sorbet.

Understated location, very good food.

It was particularly disappointing to have the second half of our dinner at L'Absinthe marred by the cigarette smoke that was allowed to come in from the outside pavement tables. We had hoped to sit out there ourselves on what was a very warm evening, but chose instead to sit inside, which was less comfortable, in order to avoid the cigarette smoke. So it was doubly uncomfortable to endure both heat and secondary smoke which not only ruins the taste of a meal but can affect our health through no fault of our own. We won't be returning, unfortunately.

We had a terrific dinner for 13 people tonight. Service was excellent and the food was to die for. Get the Chicken Cordon Bleu or the duck! Delicious!

Me and my daughters really appreciated the friendliness and openess of the hosts, that suggested some typical dishes that were sublime. We had meat, fish and poultry - and finished with 3 desserts. Everything paired with local good wine. I will come here again

Great experience. Food was interesting, nice staff (a bit understaffed though), cozy place. Great for its price. Crème brûlée is a must. Highly recommended

This restaurant was a great alternative to the touristy places closer in Strasbourg to the cathedral. Food was very good, mostly locals were dining, and the service was great.
8.0
Good food. Poor carte of wine. Nice ambient and atmosphere.
5.5
Staff service was fair but false advertisement. Food was decent. However, I am not happy about the 40% off advertisement as the server/restaurant did not apply 40% off on the meal despite me making a reservation with 40% off discount offer. Not cool experience.

Wonderful experience for Christmas Eve dinner. The gentleman who served us also made the foie gras and dessert- both of which were excellent. We felt welcomed and relaxed spending our evening here enjoying the delicious food.

Wonderful staff, great food. Couldn't have asked for a lovelier evening. A bonus was the reasonably priced wines by the glass.

We ate a good dinner at this restaurant in Strasbourg. The menu was small but the food was delicious. Service was good and the ambiance was traditional. We used the Fork 40% discount- I think it would have been expensive without it.

Hidden behind the Alsace Museum this local restaurant ( ma y locals dining there) has very good food. The restaurant has a limited menu but very tasty.
9.5
Very nice experience in general. I would only suggest to work a bit more on the presentation of the fisted and focus on French kitchen if you are a French restaurant as a lot of options from the menu were from anywhere else but not France ;-)

We were generally overlooked for most of our time at the restaurant, starting with trying to order a glass of wine after 45 minutes. It seemed the locals got allot more of the owner's attention. He left us to google and ask the French diners nearby to help interpret the menu, some descriptions which also confused them. My husband was not advised that his Thai steak dish would be served COLD, and my beef dish was ordered medium but arrived as rare stew meat with frites. Having waited a long time for the wine, to place the order, and receive the medicore food... We certainly wondered at all the amazing reviews we had read.

Small menu but very good bistro quality with some interesting twists (the Lap de Boeuf) which were excellent.

Totally worth visiting!

Reservation was for 20:00. Arrived and was promptly seated then ignored. Other parties arrived and were served. We sat in plane site and waited until 20:30. We then left.

I think it’s not intending to be a tourist trap, it seemed to me a honest place where the locals like to spend a nice evening dinner. Nice atmosphere, and excellent food for a decent price. Very friendly staff too! I would like to recommend this place.
