Au Crocodile

Au Crocodile is a historic gastronomic restaurant at 10 Rue de l'Outre in Strasbourg, in the Alsace region of France, close to the Petite France area and the old town. It is a Relais & Châteaux member and holds one Michelin star according to its 2026 Relais & Châteaux listing, with chef Romain Brillat leading the kitchen. The cooking is contemporary French, built around a seasonal tasting menu rather than a fixed repertoire, so the dishes change with the market and the time of year. The restaurant lists its menu on the Relais & Châteaux website, and tasting menus start at roughly €150 (about $173 USD) per person, with a wine pairing priced extra. That places it among the most expensive tables in Strasbourg, and it suits a special-occasion meal. The dining room is formal and quiet by comparison with the city's winstubs: service is polished, tables are set apart for conversation, and smart dress is the sensible choice. Alsace's wine culture sits behind the list, with local Riesling, Pinot Gris and other regional bottles alongside wider French producers, and the pairing option is the simplest way to explore it. Reservations are required, and the restaurant advises booking several weeks ahead. For weekends, the Christmas market season and peak summer, a longer lead time is prudent, and travellers fitting Strasbourg into a tight itinerary should reserve before arriving. Dietary requirements are best raised when booking so the kitchen can plan the tasting menu. The restaurant's page on the Relais & Châteaux site is the primary source for current menus and booking details, and opening days should be confirmed there before travel.
