Maison Kammerzell

This is one of the oldest restaurant in Strasbourg with a rich history and a must visit place if you're in strasbourg. We came here for our 10th year anniversary. There are alot of outdoor as well as indoor seats on 1st and 2nd floor. Overall the food is average, not super fantastic but not surprising given the amount of tourist that folk here. I ordered the beef fillet medium rare and it came medium well. So I didnt even finish the beef. The fish was ordered is decent. Service otherwise is prompt and they speak English well. No issues with other matters except a little disappointed with the food.

We had our best dining experience in Scrzburg at this historic restaurant. We visited on the last day of our two-day trip. The restaurant, which is located in a historic building that was especially highlighted during the city tour, was extremely busy. Although we didn't make a reservation, they helped us a lot. Despite the rush when we arrived, they opened a table for us and welcomed us. I won't be exaggerating when I say that we had the best meat and fish meal ever in this restaurant with a unique view just below Notr Dame. The staff is very kind and attentive, the place is soulful and the food appeals to the palate. I think we left really satisfied and this restaurant is a must in the Notre Dame neighborhood. Don't leave Strasburg without completing your trip and relaxing in this place.

The hotel is beautiful and historic and the service is attentive. However, the food is very mediocre; as a table we got the pork knuckle choucroute, sirloin steak, tartare and three desserts. The main dishes came out in less than 10 minutes and the taste reflected the quick prep, the steak was rubbery and hard to cut, the fries thin and crunchy, the pork knuckle had more fat than meat and the tartar was good but nothing special. In short, I'd say it's a place I'd come back for drinks but definitely not the food. The banana chocolate tart dessert was good.

The food was great, the service was nice. I had reviewed the menu online prior the visit so I know what to order. The atmosphere was excellent, fully packed. My friend and I were there on a beautiful Saturday.

We truly enjoyed our meal at Maison Kammerzell! It was my second visit and I came back because the atmosphere is just magical. While it may be touristy, it is simply beautiful! During our first visit the food was average at best but the second time we were really surprised and loved it!

As a tourist, we understand there is a language barrier and sometimes we maybe not be liked by the locals. However, we made reservations as recommended and was never showed to our table when we arrived, while another party came in and the waiter showed complete different actions (they were shown to their table, the seats where held out for the lady - just because they spoke French). The waiter deliberately went to the table after us but I stopped him as we arrived and was seated first. I had the most wonderful experience in France so far up until having to eat at this restaurant. We had very high anticipation as this restaurant/hotel had such long history in Strasbourg, but will definitely not go back. Not to mention the food was crappy!!!

We stayed in Strasbourg for three nights. We ate at Maison Kammerzell two of those. We loved it both times. Given the restaurant's age, 600 years, and location, next to the Cathedral, we feared it was a tourist trap. While I'd recommend it to anyone, tourist or not, we needed reservations for both visits, on a Tuesday and a Thursday in March with bad weather. Our impression was that many, if not most, of the other diners were locals. And we were a little surprised to see that the most served dishes were the restaurant's sauerkraut offerings. We tried one of them on our second visit. Marvelous! The food, service and ambience were all top notch.

This is an old timey place filled with old timey people. We went on a Monday and were the youngest people in the room by about 30 years which added to the ambiance. The place is like a cave, with paintings of battles and old timey stuff all around. The food was traditional and good. We had a plate of fish with sauerkraut that was good but maybe a bit salty. The paté was awesome (if you like paté) and the escargot was delicious. Desert was good but skippable. Prices were fair and they seem to have good deals. All in all, this place is an experience worth having! Go and get your old timey self some good food!

Come here for the vibes of an antique historical building with views of the cathedral, but the food we ordered was just ok. We had the vegetarian lasagna and baeckeoffe and were not impressed. Service was good. The ambience does leave a great impression though as the restaurant is beautiful!

We had breakfast here in the outdoor seating area twice on our recent trip. Both times I had the Petit Déjeuner Français: a large piece of baguette, sliced in halves, butter, jam, a croissant and hot chocolate. Lots of carbs, but a good start to my day. On the second visit, my wife and I split a small omelet. Service was ok (sometimes hard to get hold of), but the ambiance of sitting across from the cathedral was remarkable.

Maison Kammerzell. A more descriptive name for this restaurant would be Maison Cancer Du Poumon (House of Lung Cancer). This place has surely mastered the art of mediocre food and complete disregard for their patrons' health. As soon as you approach (not even enter) this establishment, you are greeted by a fragrant cloud of cigarette smoke. "No problem. I can just sit inside!" you think? No dice. They refuse to sit you inside, treating your concerns with a delightful blend of indifference and negligence. Now, if you're going to increase my chance of lung cancer by 20-30%, at least make the food worth it. But nope, the food was mediocre at best. The steak was bland and overcooked. The only redeeming factor was the opportunity to try Béarnaise sauce, which I've never had before. But since I have nothing to compare it to, I can only conclude, from the pattern of the other food, that this sauce wasn't spectacular either. Dear reader, if you're seeking an exquisite dining experience that involves lackluster food, a side of carcinogens, and a staff that excels at disappointment, Maison Cancer Du Poumon is the place for you.

This is a must visit restaurant in Strasbourg! But you probably have to book your table weeks in advance - from the pictures on the wall it appears that whoever is anybody in France has dined here! The food is representative of Strasbourg geographical closeness to Germany so choucroute Strasbourgeois is the must to order if it's your first visit - every o else is equally excellent

Got recommended by a tour guide to come here and it's absolutely beautiful from the outside but we got here at 11 am and were the first people in here - however I believe there was racial prejudice as the place filled up and every single other table got their food except ours, we finally got our meal at 1:15 pm - after all the tables around us got their meals. Also, they were not nice at all to our table (full of Asians). So if you're Asian, maybe don't come here. If you're white - I'm sure they'll treat you great

This place was incredible. I had the three fish plate. It was to die for. I ordered a bottle of white and ref wine as well as the green pea gazpacho. The last fish was little salty for my pallet but the experience was well worth it. I recommend this place for anyone. Oh and the desserts ... speechless. Try the brandy ice cream.

When we first arrived, we had a little bump in that they could not find our reservation even though we had an email confirmation. That aside, they were kind enough to offer us a table. The food service was very polite, and the food itself was brought out quickly. We tried the foie gras, and while I have nothing to compare it too, it was a popular hit among the family. I had the vegetarian dish they offered on the Christmas menu, and while it was very good with a wonderfully poached egg, the portion was a bit small compared to the other dishes at the table. On another note, the desserts that we ordered on a whim were beautifully presented and were quite delicious.

Historical restaurant with a small dining area and requires advance reservation or a bit of luck during the winter period. Pleasant ambiance and unique character to the whole place. You're sitting right in the shadow of the magnificent Notre Dame Cathedral. It was quite entertaining to see people peeking through the glass windows from the outside. The portion sizes were definitely larger than your average French dining experience. However, the service was the poor, slow, inattentive, burdensome, and sub-par for such a reputable restaurant.

I'm only giving this place two stars because of the history- being one of the oldest establishments in Strasbourg. Everything about this restaurant was a disappointment to say the least. I made reservations a few weeks ahead of my trip and received email confirmation. However upon arrival they had difficulty finding it. We came for the Christmas Eve prefix which was listed as €65 pp on the website. The menu listed it as €78 pp. The wait staff stated that it was last years menu. Seemed like a bait and switch to me! Moving on to the food. We had the salmon starter as well as the duck foe gras. Both horribly average. For entree we had the pork sausage and three fish sauerkraut that so many reviews mention. Both were very disappointing. The pork sausage was honestly better at the Christmas Market outside and 1/3 of the price. The fish was BAD. No flavor. Very oily. Way too much sauerkraut. The service was impeccably awful. From limited English menus to unhelpful waitstaff and having to ask for water refills. I would've been better served serving myself! Overall would NOT recommend this place. Furthermore I'd recommend coming only to say you've been and leaving before ordering. Easily one of the worst dinning experiences I've ever had!

This restaurant is overrated. The location and setup is great since is a historic building. Service wasn't good . The server rushed us to order our food and everything we asked he was just rushing to answer and we did not get what we wanted . When we ordered he keep saying yes yes but the food was completely different. Both of the food we ordered didn't taste good maybe we eat a small portion of it. Very disappointed since we were hopping to have something real good on our first night in town. Do not recommend this restaurant and won't go there again.

The service people were rushing around but. It for us, it took 30 minutes to get to place an order and then another hour to get the food. My friends steak was way over cooked, my duck was tough. My friend said she was allergic to mushrooms so her appetizer was ok but the main dish was covered with mushrooms. So then it took another 45 minutes to get the chicken without mushrooms. And then when we complained they defended themselves instead of saying they were sorry, do not go here if you want good food, good service or attentive wait staff. The walls of they place are nice to look at though.

From the beginning "eye roll" from the hostess to the mediocre service to the bland meal everything was a disappointment. I am generally a lenient reviewer but the meal was just bad. The salmon with sauerkraut was tasteless. The wild boar with chestnuts was dry. The bread was hard and the bar snacks on the table didn't say a lot for an overpriced meal. Save your money and eat anywhere else. Yes, I was that disappointed.

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME. I am giving this place one star because I have to give it a star in order for my review to be posted. I'd never have gone there as it looked liked a total tourist trap. But, my son's prof at the university recommended that the students go. So, off we went. Interestingly, the clientele is largely French and/or French speaking. Why!?!? The food was nothing short of awful. I can't think of the last meal I had that was this dreadful, if ever, in any country. And, certainly never in France. The desserts. Yuck. Shame on us; what were we thinking to even order dessert! What makes the place truly despicable and lacking in integrity is that the waitstaff and the maitre ds (yes, one on each floor; 3 floors in all, the place is a factory of slop) are surly, and just downright awful. Years ago there was an old school dairy restaurant on the uws in Manhattan, NY will surly waiters. At least the food was good. Not my first choice of food, but definitely good of its kind. These folks have no business being ill humored and so overtly hating their jobs -- the food can't make up for them, and the cost is way too high. Speaking of, the maitre d basically ripped my credit card out of my hand at the end of the meal -- I was reviewing the bill and didn't see him approach, when he just pulled the card from my hand. I wish I could say that the place is only a tourist trap, but the diners were predominantly French speaking, as am I. I don't know what more to say. Oh yeah, they should be embarrassed. Go anywhere but here. Actually, at a 2 min walk in the Xmas market, there is an amazing Lebanese food stand, with the most amazing babganoush ever. Head there!

Over all the experience was a solid ok. I think people go to experience the history of the old building. The service was great super friendly but the food was nothing to write home about. We sat outside because it was a beautiful evening. I wish we had sat inside to experience the history of the place from 1427. I would have only given 3 stars but the service made up for the just ok food.

This is a gem in Strasbourg. It is also in an excellent location. The food was exceptional and the staff was great. I will recommend this to friends and family.

The Three fish Sauerkraut is one of the best meals I've had. A complete discovery as I've only ever had regular meat Sauerkraut. The place is beautiful, ideally located and the waiter was adorable.

The interior of this restaurant is beautfiul, it's meat heavy and if that's what you want than you can have all sorts of varieties here. Big on butter. It was good -- but I wasn't knocked out of my seat.

Very good restaurant. You can eat different meal. Try Sauerkraut with fish it's excellent

I wasn't blown away by the meal but it was good. I had to send back and over cooked filet but it was fixed. Service was good and prices reasonable. Foie gras was excellent as well as the beef tartare. The portions were huge if you like that sort of thing.

Our food was ok but neighbouring table were complaining loudly. But we got the worst service I have ever experienced in a French restaurant which spoiled the experience quite a lot. It was very obvious that we were placed in the tourist trap on first floor where the unexperience staff could serve the stupid tourists. Prices fair compared to the quality of the food. Been there, got that t-shirt.

Wonderful place. Exceptional food at decent prices. Several smaller rooms for eating which keeps the noise level down. Service was also good. Conveniently located next to the big Cathedral. Amazing interior... spend some time looking at the wood work!
