The best bars and cafés Strasbourg

The new HQ managed by the oldest French brewery still in operation has opened its doors. Meteor is more than a brewery, a bar, it's a place of brewing discovery where everyone meets and where something is always happening! Ideally located in the heart of Strasbourg, you can have breakfast early in the morning, discover Alsatian cuisine revisited continuously and taste the full range of Meteor beers with some exclusive brews! You will be able to learn about the brewing business. This 1,200 m² space is ideal for all types of parties and for getting together with a large group of friends. In the summer, two terraces will delight you. Passage obligatory.

Au Fond du Jardin is a purely British-style tearoom, where old roses take pride of place. The speciality on display is Madeleine de voyage with carefully crafted jams. You can enjoy them with a selection of creative and refined teas. Laurent Renaud offers more than 80 different versions, on site or via the online boutique. Don't overlook the other pastries, which are just as divine. You can also enjoy brunch or breakfast, but beware: the establishment is often overbooked! Book now!

Ideally located beneath the Conservatoire, it boasts a superb sunny terrace, which is very pleasant in summer. The interior is equally elegant. Thanks to a varied program of small concerts and events, you can come and discover artists while enjoying a drink. On the restaurant side, the challenge is to revisit the classics of local gastronomy, making them more fun and accessible. The chef concocts small Alsatian dishes to share, with a touch of world fusion and lots of love. Let yourself be tempted!

Sharing and enjoyment are the two watchwords of this place imagined as a "wine bar". The warm atmosphere is conducive to sharing and meeting new people. It's the ideal place to quench your thirst or fill a small (or large) hole in the wall. The wine list is immense and conducive to discovery, with wines from every continent and genre, and bottles to be emptied with pleasure (and moderation). Whether on the terrace or indoors, the atmosphere is always good, and you can even eat at any time of the day, because here, they cook non-stop all day long!

L'oenosphère is a wine shop offering French and foreign wines, but it's also a bar where you can enjoy a glass of wine at a reasonable price, accompanied by a cheese and charcuterie board. Here, you'll be able to take your taste buds on a journey of discovery at any moment, since Benoît Hecker, the owner, offers wines that are off the beaten track, produced biodynamically or from rare or forgotten grape varieties. Sweet nectars that L'oenosphère also invites you to discover during its oeno-gastronomic evenings and themed oenology courses (available as gift vouchers).

Canapé Queer is, as its name suggests, the city's inclusive place we're talking about! You're welcome here, whoever you are, and if you're "different" then that's a plus! The decor is packed with references to the LGBTQA+ scene, with many collectible vinyl records on the wall and even a themed library with free access. Numerous events are organized, from drag-queen shows to concerts and contemporary art exhibitions. The fun-filled à la carte menu features a wide range of cocktails and beers, with the brewers involved.

With its incredible "jungle" decor, Le Léobar invites you to relax over a house cocktail (Sazerac, Negroni, Mai Tai, so dear to Californian writer Armistead Maupin), a glass of wine, spirits, beer, soft drink or... something stronger! To make the most of the decor and ambience, the establishment also offers a léo'stumpi. What are they? Adapted fingerfoods, such as a trio of foie gras macaroons, crispy beef tartare or salmon gravelax with soy and wasabi sauce!

In a Jumanji-like setting, you'll have fun tasting Belgian beers on draught, cocktails or arranged rums for example. And to satisfy your hunger, charcuterie boards and Spanish cheeses from the Epicerie Iberica or homemade spreads are waiting for you. Every month, don't miss the blindtests and pool tournaments. You can challenge your friends or complete strangers in a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. The establishment is not accessible to people with reduced mobility.

Le Garde Fou is first and foremost an atypical bar where you can test 14 traditional French draught beers, some still in bottles and all from French microbreweries. It also offers a wide selection of natural wines without sulphites, by the glass or in bottles, which you can accompany with a cuisine of fresh products, changing each month and going by 3: 3 starters, 3 main courses, 3 desserts, 3 planchettes. But the greatest originality lies in the unique and brand new concept in Strasbourg, which you discover in the cellar where two petanque tracks are installed to spend a beautiful evening while having fun and making beautiful encounters.

Cupcakes, cheesecakes, muffins and other sweets that are very popular in Anglo-Saxon countries are no longer presented. Yet What the Cake? has once again managed to stand out by creating a pleasant, vintage and trendy tea room. Kevin the pie maker will delight you with his pretty confections: lemon meringue or Oreo style cupcakes, classic or chestnut cheesecakes. Add to that good coffees, latte and cappuccino, made with soya or cow's milk. For lunch, wraps, quiches or salads are available. Note that What the Cake is very sensitive to vegan fashion! But let the carnivores be reassured, the card also thinks of them.

Jeannette and the cycleux are a café owned by the owner of Groceries, the Linge and La Hache. The similarity between these establishments is therefore anything but a coincidence. Even a sense of decoration - here, a motorcycle built in a wall - the possibility of drinking and eating at any time of day or night. An atmosphere that satisfies the Strasbourg while appealing to tourists. Jeannette is a nice place for a glass of wine after the work (on the ground floor) or a bar between friends (upstairs). Side kitchen the lunch menu offers chicken sandwiches - Colombo chicken, roast beef… -, pork and cheese vouchers or seasonal salads.

Located in the historic neighbourhood of Petite-France, the Golden Gate - homage to the City of San Francisco and its tolerance to the homosexual and transgender community - has been able to impose in recent years as one of the gay friendly places of the Strasbourg night. The secrets of its success: its garden with a replica of the Golden Gate Bridge in the bar corner, its musical selection which fluctuates between electro, house and trance, its warm atmosphere and its numerous evenings of theme (evening evenings on Wednesday evening, one word in a mailbox and a factor distributes them to the people concerned). The cocktails are with and without alcohol. Small dance trail with laser and DJ.

Located steps from Petite France, this beautiful shop is divided into two distinct but complementary areas. The first is exclusively dedicated to the sale of teas, with some three hundred references, and imported wines of Asia and the other parts of the world. Did you know, for example, that grows some in Africa? The second area of this friendly shop, a tasting room. Beautifully furnished, it is particularly conducive to take tea in a unique atmosphere in Strasbourg, to eat a small cake... and enjoy the time. A good address.

Immediate change of scenery in this café-tea room adjoining the Hotel Suisse. It is an intimate and convivial place, with few tables, decorated in the chalet spirit and where the welcome is absolutely charming. Woodwork and soft lighting are ideal for romantic tête-à-tête as well as business meetings (the presence of a wifi terminal is very useful), and above all a cocooning break. The breakfasts proposed here are copious, of an excellent quality and with local products in priority but the snacks are also delicious.

On the busy Route de Mittelhausbergen, this friendly neighborhood bar with its contemporary decor offers a plethora of organic beers, spirits and wines. For a snack, the menu includes tartes flambées, a variety of sausages, tapenade and a few sweet treats. The establishment organizes regular evening events, such as blind tests, salsa nights, concerts, quizzes and other festivities... Exhibitions are also put on for all to enjoy!

La Planque is THE place to be if you want to relax with friends... or even meet new people on your own! Here, you can enjoy a drink, home-cooked food, exhibitions by local artists or a lively karaoke session. In fact, it's a hybrid, relaxed place where time flies by because of the friendly atmosphere. To make the most of all the events and make sure you don't miss a single one, follow La Planque on social networks.

Enjoy a beautiful evening with a breathtaking view of the water, the barges and the beautiful buildings of Strasbourg to enjoy a glass of excellent wine. At Ill Vino, on the barge, the selection of wines by the glass is simply incredible in its breadth and diversity. For more than 20 years, these wine merchants have been rigorously selecting the wines and spirits they offer in their cellars in Strasbourg rue des Bouchers, in Sélestat or on the barge. Take the opportunity to taste some cold meats and cheeses whose aromas will be highlighted by these wines.

Just a stone's throw from the cathedral, come and have a good coffee, tea or chocolate accompanied by one of the delicious sweets of the house at any time of the day. If the place is pleasant for breakfast, it is just as pleasant for a break at any time of the day. At lunchtime, you will enjoy good daily specials, good value for money and of varying inspiration. Excellent sandwiches, and of course the house's unmissable pastries that have made its reputation and which have long been taken over by the people of Strasbourg are also on offer. With its modern and uncluttered atmosphere, this place will quickly become your must-see!
