Piano Grill: grilled meat and calm on Place Saint-Étienne
A contemporary French grill on one of the quietest squares in old Strasbourg: 4.6 on Google, an evening set menu, and dinner away from the crowds.
The verdict
Once you have worked your way through the Alsatian repertoire, Piano Grill is the best answer in the centre: a contemporary French restaurant built around grilled meat, sitting on Place Saint-Étienne, one of the prettiest and quietest squares in old Strasbourg. The 4.6 on Google from nearly 1,800 reviews and the 9.5 on TheFork tell the same story, an execution that almost never disappoints.
What to eat
Meat from the grill as the centrepiece, a current French menu around it, and an evening set menu that makes the address genuinely approachable for its level. The room plays its part: understated, warm, a piano in the corner.
Visiting tip
Book online, it is straightforward and the house keeps its availability live. Five to eight minutes from the Christmas markets, Place Saint-Étienne also offers one of the rare quiet dinners of December.
