Strasbourg’s best brunches – Our 10 favourites

Map of our good addresses

1. La Pépinière, place d’Austerlitz

La Pépinière’s brunch is a favorite of Céline from L’heure du Cream. A pleasant surprise this brunch! La Pépinière is a café-bistro on Place d’Austerlitz, a lively spot teeming with cafés and terraces. Cement tiles on the floor, clouds of dried flowers, wood furniture, the interior isn’t very big, but that’s what makes it so charming: it’s warm and inviting, and you feel like you’re having lunch at a friend’s house, with the added bonus of a country atmosphere.

Sunday at La Pépinière is brunch time! You’ll have to choose between the first or second service and one of the 3 formulas on offer : the savory board, the sweet board or the maxi (complete)! Pancakes, fresh fruit, mini-viennoiseries, verrine for the sweet tooth, charcuterie, cheese, scrambled eggs, soup, cake for those who prefer the savoury version. The formula includes a cold drink, with unlimited toast and hot drinks. I was full that day with the sweet board, the total would have been a bit ambitious but on very hungry days why not!

We don’t skimp on quantity, it’s a good brunch, hearty and excellent value for money. The planchette is 16€ and for 21€ it’s the whole package. Brunch can be enjoyed in the dining room (large table or small tables) or on the terrace.

2. The Drunky Stork Social Club in the city center

The brunch at Drunky Stork Social Club is a favorite of Céline from L’heure du Cream. The Drunky Stork Social Club (which Laurène has already told you about in her favorite restaurants in Strasbourg) is a concept restaurant that boasts a menu with British accents. On Sundays from 11:30 am to 4 pm, they serve a very good brunch at 39€. The price is higher than average, but this is due to the all-you-can-eat formula, the wide choice, the diversity and the quality of the brunch items.

Pancakes, baked beans, bacon, sausage, garlic bread, eggs, cakes, seasonal pies, cold cuts and cheeses, fruit, granola. And the egg is as you like it, fried, boiled, scrambled, in omelette, each one its cooking! Cold savory and sweet dishes are arranged around the imposing central island bar, while hot dishes are served from the open kitchen. Everything is tempting and very greedy, hard to resist!

And a little bonus, here you can enjoy your brunch with good music, to the sound of vinyls, in a contemporary, spacious and comfortable setting.

3. Chez Nous in Robertsau

Chez Nous brunch is a favorite of Nathalie de Célest-in. My favorite brunch in Strasbourg is at Chez Nous, a lovely name that says a lot about the quality and atmosphere of the brunch.

Everything is homemade, with local and seasonal products: a savory buffet (cakes, quiches, salads, cheese and charcuterie platters, cooked dishes …) and sweet (cakes, pastries, pies, fruit salad creams …) very copious and varied according to the inspiration of the chef and according to the proposed theme. There is even something to satisfy Vegan and gluten intolerant people. To complete this gargantuan all-you-can-eat buffet: hot drinks, fresh fruit juices, various dairy products, cereals… and good bread is offered.

Something to delight young and old gourmets in a warm atmosphere as we love them in Alsace. The cherry on the cake during the nice days is their terrace located at the back of the house overlooking the water: a calm, peaceful and magical place to escape from the heat and the hubbub of the city. A nice Sunday moment that you won’t forget in a hurry. Victim of its success, you’ll have to book early (especially if you have a large table).

4. Hey Mama in downtown Strasbourg

Hey Mama’s brunch is a favorite of Celine from Knack & Rucksack To get off the beaten track, Hey Mama is a nice African-inspired restaurant-café. On weekends from 10am to 4pm, Hey Mama offers a unique formula for €28, including 1 savoury dish, 1 sweet dish, unlimited hot drinks and 1 cold drink (latte, fresh juice and spirits extra).

Five original savory proposals that mix flavors and influences (yassa burger, bowl, tacos, shakshuka … during our test) and as many sweet (hot brookie, pancakes, granola, brioche lost during our visit), more classic but always very greedy, original in the preparation and presentation. All of this is enjoyed in a warm, colorful, cozy setting while sipping on good homemade juices (special mention for the ginger juice, which is very spicy!). Don’t forget to book online, the brunch is quickly sold out!

5. Madame Julia at the Krutenau

Madame Julia’s brunch is one of Laurène’s favorites. Madame Julia, located just off the Place de la Bourse, is one of my favorite cafés in Strasbourg, which made me want to go there for brunch one Saturday with friends. I must admit that I am not a big fan of all-you-can-eat brunches, so Madame Julia’s formula is perfect for me: there is no formula, you take all à la carte! I know that this will not please everyone, but I find it better in terms of price and I don’t leave with a belly full to burst, it’s nicer 😉

On the menu, a lot of toast and various pancakes (salty and sweet), bowls, American pastries (carrot cake, banana bread, cookies,…), but also delicious freshly squeezed fruit juices and hot drinks. The dishes served are very copious and tasty. I loved my “Popeye Breakfast” with a Green Detox juice.

Please note that it is impossible to make reservations. If you go on the weekend, I advise you to go early because there is a big queue… Finally, good to know, the pancakes and toast can all be made gluten-free and there are also vegetarian and vegan options. Very nice!

6. Supertonic, Place d’Austerlitz

Supertonic’s brunch is a favorite of Céline from Knack & Rucksack Tell me about sausages and beans and I’m in the starting-blocks! Supertonic is a gin, sausage and sound bar on Place d’Austerlitz. Brunching at Supertonic is a four-step process.

First the warm-up with a choice of hot and cold drinks, then the refreshments with an all-you-can-eat buffet of mini-viennoiseries, muesli, yoghurt, fruit and toast. Then it’s on to the main course (the composition of the brunch varies according to the season): a savoury plate, either a gourmet, meaty version consisting of tomato beans served with two varieties of sausage, sauces and toast, or a veggie version (legume cromesquis, fried egg, vegetables).

To avoid stomach cramps, we finish with stretching and a sweet plate (pan-fried apples, butterscotch, French toast and seasonal sweets). An effective, well-balanced workout, all for 28€!

7. Graffalgar in the Gare district

The Graffalgar brunch is one of Nathalie’s favorites. TheGraffalgar hotel, located near the train station, deserves to be better known. The decoration is modern and nice, the atmosphere relaxed. Finally, a brunch to go to in Strasbourg on Saturdays!

You choose a brunch board with 7-8 small dishes and you can help yourself to yoghurt, juice, coffee, tea, bread, muesli and cakes. Everything is of high quality, fresh and mostly home-made. There are both savory and sweet preparations. I got the vegetarian and it’s nice to get away from the usual vegetable patties. The content of the brunches changes regularly, so you can return regularly without getting bored!

8. Café Atlantico on the banks of the Ill river

Café Atlantico is one of Laetitia’s favorites. I love going to brunch at Café Atlantico, which combines gourmet goodness with a fair price!

Café Atlantico offers a variety of brunch options to suit all tastes and appetites. On the menu, four different “tartines (with guacamole and smoked salmon, ham and cheese, but also eggplant caviar and chickpeas), to which you can add gourmet extras (eggs, bacon, salmon, toast, broche, fromage blanc or even brownie, plus a vast choice of beverages), according to your appetite and desires. A truly à la carte brunch for every appetite!

The Café Atlantico is one of the barges moored on the Quai des Pêcheurs with a breathtaking view that I never tire of: the Ill, the magnificent Esca building and the Saint Paul church in the distance. The wooden decor of the barge is warm, with a touch of kitschy vintage decor like I like. The atmosphere is relaxed, friendly, without fuss; the service is attentive with a nice and smiling team. And then what a pleasure it is to go and sit on the quayside terrace to have a brunch, a guaranteed break and the impression of being on vacation in my city!

9. Brunch and family climbing at Bloc en Stock

Bloc en Stock has been tested by Vivine and her children. Bruncher en famille c’est possible! Block in stock offers a very well thought out formula to mix two very trendy activities: the brunch and climbing! The first one will be for the grown-ups who want to have a little fun and the second one for the little ones who can’t stand still (around 2 to 5/6 years old you see).

Head for the Plaine des bouchers in the Meinau and its reconverted warehouses to discover climbing without equipment at Bloc en stock (not to be confused with its neighbor Roc en stock – climbing with ropes, a significant difference!) Once you’ve climbed the big staircase, a rather surprising universe opens up to you: rows of climbing walls and a bar with its soft sofas, all accompanied by super friendly staff to guide you.

The children discover the walls and their hooks by difficulty/color, foam modules specially installed for this time slot, an instructor who reassures and challenges them… And what about the parents? They obviously keep an eye on what they haven’t tasted yet at the bar (and the kids do too!). Anyway, what else #parentsepuisés?!

10. Chez Benoît in Schiltigheim

Chez Benoît was tested by Manue from the blog Hum ça sent bon

Chez Benoit is a small restaurant in old Schiltigheim. A small restaurant in dimension, since it can only accommodate sixteen people. Once a month, on Sundays, it offers an all-you-can-eat brunch. A delicious brunch made entirely in-house: sweet, savoury, hot and cold. We are offered an assortment of fresh buns and pastries, fresh bread.

For hot dishes there are three courses, soup with seasonal vegetables, pissaladière, fried eggs, scrambled eggs, all accompanied by salad, fresh and local cheeses, fruits, hot drinks and fresh fruit juices. All you can eat!
