Of all the meals during our two weeks in France, Germany, Belgium and the UK, lunch at Le Gavroche was far and away the best and most memorable.
From the walk just outside of central Strasbourg into a pretty residential area with small quiet streets, the entire experience is wonderful. The owner/host is incredibly friendly and welcoming, like you would expect in a small neighborhood restaurant - but the entire inside is a beautiful, modern masterpiece.
The roast duck actually brought my girlfriend to tears, reminding her of her grandmother's favorite dish. After the meal, we chatted for a while with the owner again, whose husband works the kitchen, and whose son and granddaughter said hi as they were walking outside. I love restaurants that have exceptional food but don't lose touch with the intimate experience that makes you feel welcome and wanting to return.
