Maison des Tanneurs - Strasbourg

La Maison des Tanneurs has a beautiful canal location, along with a 1980's tourist restaurant feel.

The two of us made a reservation and showed up at 7pm right when the dinner time started.

Perfect locationAway from the crowdsWe sat on an outside terrace on the canal.

We had a nice meal in this restaurant. Chocroute, the French word for sauerkraut, is the specialty. Our party of four ordered the shares of Lachs, Choucroute Tanneur (House Sauerkraut, Escalope Viennoise (wienerschintzel and coq au riesling. We ordered a selection of deserts, cocktails and a bottle of wine. The sum with lace was €200, quite reasonable. The sauerkraut was different from what I had in the USA: More finely chopped and tasteful, without being excessive. I don't know if this is French style, a regional adjustment or how genuine German sour wort is prepared, but it was delicious! Service was at the point, but I take off points because they didn't take our party seriously enough to bring us real wine glasses, and just poured into our aperitif glasses. (We didn't want to be a complainer and guess what, the wine was still delicious! Other tables were served real wine glasses with their bottles. Overall, delicious, inexpensive and worth a visit when you are in the area.

This is one of the best meals I've ever eaten. First from French food should be enjoyed slowly. Every bite was amazing! Started with the onion soup, which was so delicious, followed by Coq au Riesling, who was just amazing. The service was top Notch and the wine, good it was the best. Very recommended. Don't let dessert skip.
