Winstub S'Kaechele

Strasbourg


Traditional French and Alsatian grub doesn't come more authentic than at this snug, amiable winstub (wine tavern), run with love by couple Karine and Daniel. Cue wonderfully cosy evenings spent in stone-walled, lamp-lit, wood-beamed surrounds, huddled over dishes such as escargots oozing Roquefort, fat pork knuckles braised in pinot noir, and choucroute garnie (sauerkraut garnished with meats).
