Brasserie Au Dauphin
About
Brasserie Au Dauphin, a landmark of Strasbourg’s historic city centre, welcomes diners on the pedestrianised Place de la Cathédrale. With a history dating back to the 19th century, the establishment has evolved from an old hôtel canonial into a modern brasserie that preserves the traditional Alsatian charm through a cosy inner courtyard, exposed wooden beams and a shaded terrace overlooking the cathedral. The menu showcases classic Alsatian fare—flambéed tartes, choucroute, and freshly prepared tarte flambée—while keeping the culinary heritage alive with original regional spices and recipes. The ambience blends rustic heritage with contemporary flair, making it a favourite for food‑lovers, families, and couples seeking an authentic French dining experience. The brasserie offers both weekday lunch and dinner service (11:30‑14:00, 18:30‑22:00) and extended Saturday and Sunday hours (11:30‑22:00). Reserving a table in advance is recommended during peak tourist weeks, but walk‑ins are accepted for most seats. Whether you’re treating the taste buds to a steaming plate of boeuf, indulging in a crispy flammekueche, or enjoying a leisurely conversation over a glass of Alsatian wine, Brasserie Au Dauphin promises an unforgettable culinary journey set amid the historic heart of Strasbourg.
