The story
Au Crocodile has stood at 10 rue de l’Outre since the early 19th century, a grande maison that has quietly shaped the city’s culinary identity. Its story begins in 1840, and today it continues with the same dedication to French art de vivre. The restaurant’s name and address are synonymous with a certain kind of timeless elegance – a place where history and modernity meet on the plate.
At the stove is chef Romain Brillat, whose cooking defines the restaurant’s current chapter. His style is rooted in modern cuisine, balancing precision with respect for Alsatian traditions. The menus – from the 112€ Découverte to the 172€ Carte sur Table – change with the seasons and the chef’s inspiration. Each dish is a deliberate composition, drawing on the best local producers the region has to offer.
In 2026, Au Crocodile was awarded a Michelin star for high quality cooking – a recognition that aligns with its long-standing reputation. The dining experience here is unhurried, refined, and deeply personal. The wine list is notably interesting, curated to complement the modern cuisine. Private salons are available for events, and the atmosphere throughout is one of understated luxury.
Beyond the dining room, Au Crocodile offers catering and private parties, and is fully wheelchair accessible. The restaurant’s commitment to excellence extends to every detail, from the air conditioning to the carefully sourced ingredients. It is a place where guests come not just to eat, but to share a moment outside of time – whether in the main dining room or one of the private salons designed for intimate gatherings.
