Strasbourg Eats
Tapas Café When you are walking along rue du Bain Finkwiller in Strasbourg, you will come across a lot of very typical and good restaurants. One of my favorite cafés there is the Tapas Café. (You won’t want to come here if you’re looking for Alsatian!) All is done to make the small room look like a restaurant in Mexico or Cuba. Even the waiters are dressed for warmer climates. Always crowded, so don’t expect to eat with a lot of elbow room, but do expect to order small plates with different, delicious sausages. Recommended is the chicken plate, which comes surrounded by spicy sausage that, in true tapas style, you have to eat with a toothpick. Or just ask to sample different types of tapas, with their many styles of meat and vegetables, typical from South America. Of course, you can have many alcoholic drinks; but follow my advice: ask before ordering because many names are in Spanish, and sometimes, the drink in the little glass is very strong! Tapas Café 16, rue du Bain Finkwiller 67 000 Strasbourg US: 011 (33) 3 88 24 57 30 France: 03 88 24 57 30 Open Daily:  4 pm to 2 am Price: each plate around 2.50 euros and a drink from 4 – 8 euros Reservations – mandatory if you don’t want to sit at the bar Smoking   Le Divan Le Divan is a mix between a bar and a disco hidden in a small street along the Place Broglie, where the opera stands. As its name says, inside Le Divan you will sit on a couch in a very romantic atmosphere: just enough lights to see what you are ordering. The drinks are expensive but that’s certainly the price to pay to be in a very cool place.  People come for the atmosphere, and not especially for the very common drinks: soft with coca-cola or water, alcoholic with cocktails or just vodka. In the basement, open for the weekends, you have a dance floor with mainly techno and latino music. Be careful, before entering you’ll have to pass the judgment of the bodyguard saying who’s in and who’s corny.
