Today is the Bastille Day in France but we were out visiting Strasbourg organized by the university. Some hassles and a change of itinerary later, we managed to reach the city center of Strasbourg for our boat ride (in a later blog post...). Right off the jetty is the quarters of the magnificent Notre-Dame and the choice of restaurants is incredible here. Well, we were hungry and didn't want to choose so the first restaurant on our path that looked quaint and good enough was our first choice. It happened to be Au Vieux Strasbourg, an old-fashioned alsation bistro just outside the Cathedrale...
simple setting for lunch with very high turnover...
the setting is essentially Alsatian as alsatian can get...
Menu du jour is written on the board. Chose the first because I wanted to try a real Choucroute dish in its birth place...
sneak peek of the bar where the waiters get their orders to serve...
a cosy corner...
a bit skimpy on the bread (we were 4). The mustard is extremely potent.
The quintessential choucroute 3 garnitures ( sauerkraut with 3 servings of pork), served with poached potatoes.
a simple dessert: iced black forest.
Outside the restaurant...paid 18 euro for the meal. Not bad.
