Chez Yvonne (S'Burjerstuewel)

Chez Yvonne, also known as S'Burjerstuewel, is a traditional winstub at 10 Rue du Sanglier in Strasbourg's Grande Île, a few steps from the cathedral in the Alsace region of France. It has long been regarded as the city's best-known address for Alsatian home cooking, and it draws a steady mix of local regulars and visitors who want the classic winstub experience in the historic centre. The cuisine is firmly regional: hearty, unfussy plates built on pork, veal, cabbage, potatoes and cream. The signature dishes include presskopf, a cold terrine of pressed head meat served with a sharp vinaigrette; quenelles de foie in cream sauce; tête de veau; and a choucroute garnie served with five kinds of meat. These are the dishes that define the Alsatian table and are what most first-time visitors come to order. The dining room follows the winstub tradition of small, wood-panelled rooms with close-set tables, warm lighting and an informal, convivial feel. Dress is casual, noise levels rise when the room is full, and tables are shared closely enough that the atmosphere is communal rather than intimate. Service is typically brisk and friendly. Alsace is a wine region, and the beverage list leans on local whites such as Riesling, Pinot Gris and Sylvaner, plus regional beers, which pair naturally with the rich food. A set menu is listed at about €41 (about $47 USD), while ordering à la carte typically runs about €50-65 (about $58-75 USD) per person before drinks, placing it in the upper mid-range for the city. Hours reported in a March 2026 review show service every day, with lunch from 12:00 to 14:15 and dinner from 18:00 to midnight, although opening times should be confirmed before visiting. Reservations are advised, particularly for dinner, at weekends and during the Christmas market season, when the whole Grande Île fills up. Walk-in tables are often accepted outside peak hours, so an early or late sitting can work without a booking. The restaurant can be reached by phone on +33 3 88 32 84 15.
