The story
On the quai Saint-Nicolas, steps from the Musée Alsacien, Au Pont Corbeau has been a fixture of Strasbourg dining for over thirty years. This family-run winstub – the Alsatian name for a convivial wine tavern – offers a direct taste of regional tradition. The Michelin guide calls it a “coup de cœur,” awarding it a Bib Gourmand in 2026 for good quality, good value cooking.
The kitchen relies on a network of local producers, turning out the must of Alsatian specialties. The dining room, with its Renaissance elements and vintage posters, sets the scene for hearty, straightforward dishes. The wine list is a particular strength, as you would expect from a winstub – an “Interesting Wine List” tag confirms it.
Beyond the food and wine, Au Pont Corbeau cultivates the spirit of a confrérie: sharing, good cheer, and a warm welcome. Outdoor seating is available when weather permits, and air conditioning keeps things comfortable in summer. It is an authentic address that has earned its reputation without fuss, year after year.

good quality, good value cooking
After kilometers of gingham tablecloths, liters of beer and German tourists by the dozen, the folkloric charm of Alsatian winstubs gets old quick… Unless you head over to the Andt’s place (cheeky drawings, Renaissance woodwork, modern chairs). Run by a father-daughter duo, the windows are made out of wine bottles and obscure a cool, young crowd who are lured in by Christophe’s extensive natural collection (over 13,000 bottles!) and the traditional but youthful cuisine from Coralie. The proof the night we went, with a “hot corbeau” which beautifully combined a smoked cumin-spiced sausage with sauerkraut (€17.50); pork shank served with mixed greens in a mustardy vinaigrette (€9.50); and a creamy Alsatian cherry tart (€5.70). So dig into the wine collection with thirteen thousand wonders: a rare Oeillade from Navarre, a VDF Saint-Chinian (€6.20 for a quarter liter), a Chablis from De Moor (€34 a bottle) and all the local lords – Muscat from Maurer (€5.30 a glass), Pinot noir from Trimbach (€35 a bottle), etc. Menu €13.50 (lunch), à la carte €25-50. // R.deC.
