À Strasbourg, le brunch en terrasse n'est pas une tendance importée — c'est une pratique ancrée dans le rythme de la ville. Dès que le soleil daigne pointer son nez au-dessus des toits à colombages, les terrasses de Krutenau, de la Grande Île et de Petite France se remplissent de gens qui n'ont nulle part où être pressés. C'est ça, le deal.
Le vrai enjeu, c'est de savoir où aller. Parce que "terrasse" à Strasbourg peut vouloir dire une table coincée entre deux scooters sur un trottoir, ou bien une vraie cour intérieure où le temps s'arrête. La différence entre les deux se joue souvent sur des détails : la qualité du café, si le brunch s'étire jusqu'à 15h, si l'endroit est fréquenté par des locaux ou uniquement par des groupes en visite guidée.
Ce guide couvre les spots qui méritent votre dimanche matin — de la pâtisserie artisanale de Krutenau aux terrasses méditerranéennes de la Grande Île. On a écarté les endroits qui jouent la carte "brunch" sur l'ardoise sans vraiment y croire. Ce qui reste, c'est solide.
À Strasbourg, les meilleures terrasses se remplissent dès 10h30 le week-end, surtout en Krutenau — arrivez sans réservation après 11h et vous attendrez debout. Pour les spots qui prennent des réservations, appelez la veille.
Krutenau
“Relaxed cafe with refined sweets, plus lunch & brunch dishes like salads & homemade granola.”

Tonton Gâteau is the kind of Krutenau spot that makes you rearrange your whole morning. Reviewers single out the pistachio espresso latte as something genuinely worth seeking out, and the pastry case is the real reason people keep coming back. It's a brunch-first kitchen — not a restaurant that added eggs to the menu — and the terrace shows it.

L'Établi in Krutenau doesn't advertise the brunch, but regulars know. One reviewer described leaving feeling like they "could not possibly feel any better" — which is about as honest a brunch endorsement as you're going to find. The wine bottle decor and cozy design make the terrace worth the trip even before the food arrives.

L'Épicerie on Grande Île gets called the nicest outdoor café in Strasbourg by more than one reviewer, and the tartines are the thing to order. It's old-school in the best sense — charming, unpretentious, with staff that reviewers consistently describe as some of the best in the city. Come early; the terrace fills.

Supertonic serves brunch until 3pm, which in Strasbourg is practically a civic service. The gin list is serious — one reviewer calls it "a gin lover's paradise" — and the brunch menu runs both a vegetarian and a meat option off a classic eggs base. Service has reportedly been patchy when it's busy, so go earlier rather than later.
