1741

1741 is a starred contemporary French restaurant at 22 Quai des Bateliers on the banks of the Ill in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France. According to TableJourney it holds one Michelin star, and it offers a tasting menu, so the evening follows the chef's seasonal sequence rather than a long à la carte list. The name refers to the year 1741, tied to the history of the building it occupies on the quay, and the setting gives the restaurant a historic character within the modern fine-dining format. Because available listings give no detail on the individual dishes, visitors should expect a multi-course French tasting menu that changes with the market and season, and should check the current menu when booking. Prices are in the top band, so it is best treated as a special-occasion meal. The dining room is polished and fairly quiet, with attentive service, and smart dress is appropriate. A wine pairing is the usual way to explore the beverage list, and Alsace's own Riesling, Pinot Gris and Pinot Noir are natural highlights next to wider French bottles. Reservation is required, and it is wise to book several weeks ahead for weekends, summer and the Christmas market season, when starred tables in the centre fill early. Dietary needs should be mentioned when booking so the kitchen can adjust the tasting menu. The phone number, website and opening days are not recorded in the available data, so these should be confirmed through a current directory. The Quai des Bateliers sits on the river's edge near the Palais Rohan and a short walk from the cathedral, making it easy to combine dinner with an evening stroll along the water.
