L'Oignon

Strasbourg


An enticing place to snuggle on chilly days, this beamed parlour is low-key rustic in look, with polished wood and banquette seating. It’s an intimate spot for digging into spot-on bistro fare, along the lines of beef carpaccio with truffle oil, entrecôte and grilled scallops with Parmesan risotto – simply pair with Alsatian wines.
