1741 Strasbourg

1741 sits at 22 Quai des Bateliers, holding a Michelin star. The dining room looks out over the Ill, tucked away from the transit paths of the central city.

The restaurant is a ten-minute walk from Petite France, but the atmosphere is quieter than the tourist-heavy lanes nearby. While the rest of the city leans into rustic tradition, 1741 pushes a modern, creative take on French cooking that avoids the heavy-handedness of its neighbours. It is dressier than the bistro-style spots along the riverbank, making it the choice for a meal that demands focus rather than a quick bite.
