The Complete Guide to a Kosher Trip to Strasbourg
Strasbourg, the capital of the Alsace region, is home to one of France's largest and longest-established Jewish communities — with roots dating to the Middle Ages in the historic "Rue des Juifs" district. Today it offers an unusually wide range of kosher restaurants, alongside the picturesque La Petite France district. Here's a short guide to planning your visit.
The synagogue and Chabad House
Synagogue de la Paix, built in 1958 after the community's previous Grand Synagogue was destroyed during the Holocaust, is the community's central synagogue. Beth Habad Strasbourg, on Rue du Faubourg de Pierre, serves travelers with prayers and Shabbat meals.

Strasbourg boasts a range of kosher restaurants disproportionate to its size: La Fabrique a Miam, Autre Part, Cafe de la Paix, Le 58 and Le Meating — all within walking distance of each other. Buchinger grocery rounds out the shopping.

La Petite France — most beautiful at dusk
La Petite France, with its colorful half-timbered houses and narrow canals once home to fishermen and tanners, is Strasbourg's most picturesque corner. Practical tip: arrive at dusk as the lights come on in the houses — the combination of water, warm lighting and architecture makes for the city's most iconic photo, and the area is far less crowded than during the day.
