Restaurant Maison Des Tanneurs - Gerwerstub

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 – Traditional Alsatian Charm with a View I had lunch at Maison des Tanneurs, a historic and charming Winstub in the heart of La Petite France. The setting is beautiful — especially the quiet garden terrace by the water, which feels like a little escape from the crowds. I ordered the famous Choucroute Maison, which came with a variety of meats. The flavors were authentic, but I found the meat a little dry. Still, it was a solid and traditional experience overall. The mustard and horseradish on the side were excellent and added a nice kick. Service was friendly and attentive, and the ambiance felt warm and very local — not overly touristic despite the central location. Would I return? Yes — especially for the setting and atmosphere. But next time, I might try a different dish. Perfect for those who want to experience traditional Alsatian cuisine in one of Strasbourg’s most picturesque corners.

We emailed to book a table to have our Christmas lunch here in October. They were very polite and replied immediately. When we arrived we were given a table for 2 on the window upstairs which was a beautiful spot. We were not rushed. The service was very good and polite. We were not sure what the food would be like as our French is minimal, however we had the chicken and the fish. Both absolutely delightful. Our sweet was a total Christmas surprise and was sensational. We finished with a very well brewed coffee. We highly recommend this restaurant, we would love to do it all again.

Recommend visiting! Delicious food here! I had the duck and chocolate fondue cake which I enjoyed. Service was friendly and efficient, smooth process ordering. Loved being able to experience being in such a building with its rich history. Cons; -Unfortunately you can’t see the much of the waterways when seated due to the design-(high window sill with flower pots) , however you can still see the beautiful buildings. -Menu book has print which is not clear to read ( it urgently needs replacing as it gives a poor initial impression once you are seated) Overall happy I visited , thankyou 🙏

I have gotten the recommendation for this restaurant from someone that lived in strasbourg and I am not disappointed. I found the portions to be quite big for a restaurant with a more formal setting. The duck was incredible. I can also recommend the snails. The restaurant is obviously not cheap, but I would say it delivers for its price tag. The atmosphere is very cozy because it is dimly light and they have few tables. That is why I highly recommend to reserve in advance! The waiters also have been very efficient and friendly. The bathroom is goof for french standards ;)

I had a lovely lunch here, the food was different and very flavorful. The sauerkraut I tried is absolutely delicious, it was the best I’ve had. I ordered the deer medallion which came with a hearty rich gravy/sauce. There was spaetzle, some potato puree, red cabbage, an apple which had been roasted in flavor. It was all quite delicious and the side fruit and berry compote complimented the deer very well. Mom ordered the pig knuckle with sauerkraut. That was delicious, and paired with their mustard, even better.

Lovely interiors, great service, delicious duck, good wines.

The snails were a success we had so much fun with it as entrées at the beginning of our evening here. The Tarte aux oignons howerver was better elsewhere in Strasbourg. The soupe à l’oignon so tasty. With champaign 65€/person. A so kind and attentive service. The service team take really good care of us we were 9 with kids. In summer the serve only at the terrace inside too warm. Lovely romantic atmosphere outside on the edge of water and also with the boats coming away through the water navigation lock right there form the restaurant’s terrace. Lovely evening with the boat shows for kids and adults. The choucroute is amazing. Le dessert Prune plum au Pinot noir is so worth the price. Good espresso. The “Poire Belle Helène” dessert is a flop too much Crème Chantilly but the chocolate sauce is so tasty. It is a revisited version not the typical one. Kids menu available. The Wiener schnizel was tasty. Toilets downstairs clean. In general the price/quality ratio is good. Reservations highly recommended. Only 10 max tables under sunshades. Closed sundays.

I went to try the famous meat choucroute and every component was actually flavorful, albeit too salty. The staff tried to accommodate (thank you!) but I still could not finish. This was my first meal in the city so I was not sure if it was because my taste buds not adjusting. However the next day I went to an equally (or more?) famous restaurant with a similar dish and their salt level was absolutely fine! Overall, its still a small charming restaurant and given time, I would still go back to try their other dishes and actually get a table next to the window to see the beautiful scenery.

Hands down the be best duck breast I have ever eaten, and the escargot was absolutely fantastic. If you would like to experience the taste of France this is the place to go, and the outdoor dining along the water is beautiful in the summer.

Nothing like a light lunch of pork, pork, meat, pork, sauerkraut, wine, amd pork. Maybe you'd like the house specialty: a bed of sauerkraut with enough meat to make any man feel inadequate? Or may you'd prefer the weiner schnitzel with Yorkshire pudding-like fried balls and squash purée? Oh, did the special of the house not have enough meat? Well, then the server will come by and add EVEN MORE MEAT!!!! The dessert of vanilla ice cream, wine & plum sorbet and an assortment of fresh fruit will try to make you forget the irreparable damage you've done to your arteries. Top all that with a bottle of Grand Cru Riesling and you're spent and begging for mercy. Only thing you can do at this point is end it all with a double espresso. Truly an epic meal from a historic staple of Strasbourg.

We had a lovely meal at this restaurant. "Chocroute," which is the French word for sauerkraut, is the specialty. Our party of four ordered the filet of salmon, "choucroute Tanneur" (house sauerkraut), escalope Viennoise (wienerschintzel), and coq au riesling. We ordered a selection of deserts, cocktails, and a bottle of wine. The total with tip was €200, so pretty reasonable. The sauerkraut was different from what I've had in the US: More finely chopped, and flavorful, without being overpowering. I don't know if that is the French style, a regional adaptation, or how real German sauerkraut is prepared, but it was delicious! Service was on point, but I deduct points because they didn't take our party seriously enough to bring us real wine glasses, and just poured into our aperitif glasses. (We didn't want to be complainers, and guess what, the wine was still delicious! Other tables were served real wine glasses with their bottles.) Overall, delicious, reasonably priced, and worth a visit if you are in the area.

This is one of the best meals I have ever eaten. First off French food should be enjoyed slowly. Every bite was amazing! Started with the onion soup which was so delicious , followed by Coq au Riesling which was just incredible. The service was top notch and the wine,well it was the best. Highly recommend this place. Don't skip dessert.

La Maison des Tanneurs has a beautiful canal location, along with a 1980's tourist restaurant feel. (Kind of like a restaurant in Munich having everyone serve in lederhosen). I had a nice (yet blazing hot) bowl of French onion soup here, along with a rather bland Coq-au-Riesling chicken dish. Others at my table gave mixed reviews to their sour kraut dishes piled with sausages. Service here is average. Nothing too offensive, just missed service understanding (like how to pour wine) and that we had to make the call on our own to leave the patio several minutes after it started raining.

located in the postcard-perfect petite france quartier of Strasbourg on the banks of the river Ill. this half-timbered build was formerly a hide tannery and converted to a restaurant in the 1900's. the house specialty is choucroute de poisson - poached & baked seafood with sauerkraut. and local delicacy foie gras d'Oie(goose)...perfect with a vins d'alsace. c'est un passage obligé

This is great, old school French cuisine. Take your time, enjoy a fine bottle of wine, and be sure to save room for their house made deserts. The location does not get much better. This is a good place for a formal occasion or night out. I had the coq in Riesling sauce and my wife had the beef fillet with bernaise sauce.

Very picture perfect Alsatian restaurant in Petit France. Good place to enjoy a nice sit down dinner. Loved their House Chacroute traditional version with 4 meats. It was a much more manageable portion than I have been served elsewhere in this area and the kraut was perfectly done.

The two of us made a reservation and showed up at 7pm right when the dinner time started. We ordered onion soup, quiche, baked trout, and coq au riesling. The waitress suggested a very nice fruity pinot blanc. The wine and soup were excellent, quiche was good, trout was OK, but the chicken was boring -- the meat was too dry and sauce was way too heavy. The servers were very friendly until the restaurant filled up and then we had to make a lot of effort to get their attention. The dinner was rather expensive, so overall 3 stars.
