Bretzels warm from the oven, pork shank over soft spaetzle and gingerbread spiced the old Alsatian way: this is Strasbourg the way locals eat it. Spend 3.5 hours on the Grande Île, the UNESCO-listed island at the center of the city, stopping at six family-run bakeries, shops and brasseries for 7 tastings.
Pair Alsatian sausages with a glass of regional white wine, then sit down at a brasserie for a beer from one of the area’s oldest family breweries. Dessert arrives in three rounds: pain d’épices in La Petite France, a slice of raisin-studded kougelhopf and a French macaron. Along the route, a secret dish lands on the table, and it’s better tasted than described.
Your guide is a Strasbourg local who fills the walks between stops with stories of a city that switched between France and Germany more than once. This Secret Food Tours route wraps up at the cathedral, so the rest of your day starts in the heart of town.
