Au Petit Bois Vert

We stopped for early dinner at Au Petit Bois Vert in Strasbourg, and it was exactly the kind of meal you hope to have in Petite France. The terrace sits right by the canal, under a massive old tree strung with colorful lights, and the cobblestones give it all a rustic charm. Sitting there with the family, shaded from the sun and watching the boats glide past, felt like a little postcard moment. We decided to share several flammekueche, each served on big wooden boards. The classic with lardons, onions, and mushrooms had the perfect crisp base and smoky flavor. Another was lighter, topped with zucchini slices and herbs, while the richest one came with soft slices of chèvre and a drizzle of honey – a delicious balance of creamy, tangy, and sweet. Alongside, we ordered a large garden salad, full of fresh vegetables, which was a great match to the warm and hearty flammekueche. One of the highlights was also the smoked salmon salad, beautifully presented with salmon layered over crisp greens, cucumber, tomatoes, and a spoonful of avocado cream topped with crispy onions. Even though the terrace was busy, the service was quick and friendly, and we never felt rushed. The prices were very reasonable considering the setting and generous portions. Au Petit Bois Vert gave us a true taste of Alsace in the best possible surroundings.

Great location and view in Petit France. However again very poor service. The waiters are walking around aimlessly. We ordered some drinks and the waiter after twenty minutes later replied and confessed that he totally forgot about our order. Any how we managed to enjoy the atmosphere.

A great view, excellent service, and delicious food. I had the café gourmand, and everything was amazing.
