Absolutely amazing!! While touring the Christmas Markets on a Gate 1 Travel tour, we heard so much about this wonderful restaurant. We got there on a Sunday afternoon around 2:00 pm and they were packed with a wait list. We were told 45 minutes and were seated within 40 minutes. This is such a cozy place with wooden booths and tables for two. Jess was our amazing server. The French onion soup for starters all around. Oh my gosh!! The perfect amount of onion, broth, bread, and cheese mouth watering and perfect!! Each of our entrees were so delicious!! We had the Duck Breast which was succulent, tender, and slightly sweet. The Tiger Steak was a nice surprise. Tender and so flavorful. The Traditional sauerkraut with meats stood out to us all. Each piece of meat was so spectacular- tender, juicy, and yummy. The sauerkraut wasn't sour. It was very tasty but not overpowering. Even the potatoes bursted with flavor. Our desserts.....Creme brulee' apple strudel and frozen souffle' with Gran Mariner. Thank goodness we have a walk to the tram!!!! So full. This experience is one for the books!!! read more

If you're in Strasbourg, L'Oignon is definitely a place you shouldn't miss. Do make sure you book a reservation, as it gets busy and seating isn't guaranteed otherwise. We began with the onion soup, which was absolutely divine--rich, deeply flavourful, and wonderfully balanced. The escargot was another pleasant surprise: nicely chewy and not at all dry, unlike versions we've had elsewhere. For the mains, I went for the tiger steak. While the flavour was good, a few pieces were unfortunately quite chewy and difficult to swallow. My mum ordered the pikeperch, which was the real standout--perfectly cooked with a decadent citrus note running through it. All in all, L'Oignon offers a memorable meal with excellent starters and well-considered flavours. With a reservation sorted, it's well worth adding to your plans when visiting Strasbourg. read more

We came for lunch & it was busy inside and outside. The Duck foie gras came with pear chutney & toasted bread slices. The Smoked salmon on hashbrowns came with 2 and you could taste the freshness of the salmon. Both the Duck foie gras & hash browns were a great shareable appetizer. The Creamy risotto with summer vegetables was light and I really enjoyed the veggie chunks mixed in. The Duck was tender and beautifully plated. I love a Duck dish on a menu. For dessert we shared the Apricot tart which had big pieces of apricot & the strawberry/raspberry tiramisu. read more

One of the best meals I had on my two week trip in France Worth the oignon breath +'s: + Tiger steak arrived with the perfect amount of blood and flavor + Service quite efficient and friendly. With so many tourists the staff managed to put on a smile + Indoor and outdoor seating available. Of course make a reservation because it is packed + They allowed me to eat with 5 lb toy poodle, thank you Not worth the oignon breath -'s: - Gazpacho soup not the best I've had and I'm comparing to the ones I had in Spain where the ingredients seemed more fresh than this one If ever I return to Strasbourg I will definitely come back here to eat. Such a memorable and fantastic meal! read more

This is so far the best meal I've had in the Alsace! Just arrived in Strasbourg from another small town in the region. I was starving since I just had a sweet danish for breakfast and had to dash for the train. Once I got settled into the hotel, I went to wander in La Petit France. Just using Hoogle Maps, I found the highly rated Restaurant L'Oignon. And it was totally DELICIOUS. The ambiance is almost pub or tavern like. Loads of wood, booths and small tables. I snagged a table just 15 minutes before they closed lunch service. I had a poêle with oyster mushrooms plat that came with seasons vegetables (carrots, mushrooms, broccoli and potatoes that was served in an iron dish). You could tell the chef cared about presentation because the plate was pretty. The veggies were cooked in a hot oven and perfectly al dente. The side order of spaetzle could have been skipped since they weren't seasoned and a bit oily. This was a meal to push the boat out. I ended up ordering dessert of moelleux au chocolat and it came with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, a dollop of chantilly and a small cup of custard. Service was fantastic. The young lady serves were quick, pleasant, patient. They dealt with English, Spanish and French speakers all in stride. Overall, a wonderful meal. Food: 4 out of 4 stars Service: 4 out of 4 stars Ambiance: 3.5 out of 4 stars (it's not a fine dining restaurant but like one)! read more

We had a wonderful evening at L'oignon. The French onion soup was just delicious, and the risotto starter was amazing! The dorade fish was perfectly cooked with crispy skin and a lemon sauce and sweet potato mash. So delicious. My husband's chicken supreme was lovely too. And the French fries...the best! Great service and ambiance, and a very nice wine list. Definitely recommend if you are in Strasbourg. read more

Absolutely outstanding. Smaller restaurant with a relaxed vibe. So impressed w/ younger staff being all over it. Risotto w/ white asparagus may have been the best we've ever had - including Italy. Foie was great - pâté style. Pork shank in Alsace wine - amazing. Paired w/ local Alsace white wine for $38 a bottle - awesome. Everything front to back was outstanding. read more

What a nice surprise, Strasbourg was! It was a great little city for food, sites, and shopping! I highly recommend stopping at Restaurant l'Oignon! read more

Food was not very good. Pork knuckle was sweet and soggy. My friend had the sauerkraut and 5 meats. The sauerkraut had zero flavor. The service was decent but I wouldn't waste my time or money on the food read more

Absolutely wonderful restaurant with a friendly smile from everyone that worked there. The moment we walked in the hostess greeted us. The atmosphere is charming and warm, very much appreciated considering the cold temperature outside. Our meals were very tasty. Unlike the U.S., they welcomed my mini dachshund (teckel). I would definitely return when I am in Strasbourg again. read more

There are a lot of touristy restaurant options in Strasbourg offering Alsatian cuisine, especially in the Little France neighborhood, but L'Oignon felt separate from other places in terms of the quality of food and service, as well as the cozy atmosphere. We came in for lunch without reservations and with two kids on a busy day during the Christmas markets, and after about 20 minutes landed a table. The kids' menu was one of the draws, and didn't disappoint as my son, a picky eater, devoured his steak and fries, which came with ice cream too all for 12 Euros. I had the steak topped with foie gras, which was excellent, and my wife greatly enjoyed the chicken and mushrooms. My daughter had the smoked salmon and "hash browns" (which were essentially potato pancakes/latkes topped with salmon), which was also fantastic, as was the apple strudel we had for dessert. The entire time, the service was impeccable and we talked about the meal for the rest of our trip. read more

Absolutely highly recommend. The staff was so friendly and welcoming to us, made fabulous recommendations, and treated us with the best service. We had the escargot (exceptional), duck breast (overwhelmingly good), sausage and sauerkraut, regional white wine, and a delicious salad with prawns and smoked salmon. We also enjoyed the tarte tatin with shallots, cream cheese, and chives for an appetizer. Everything was so thoughtfully prepared and presented. And the interior of this restaurant is so inviting and warm. Can't recommend this place enough if visiting Strasbourg! read more

We really enjoyed this restaurant. They're very friendly and patient with us. Since we didn't speak French, we don't always see that type of patients. But the servers were polite and answered all our questions. The food was definitely on point and very delicious. The presentation was beautiful and the meat came out cooked perfectly, now let's talk desserts. The desserts were crème brûlée, apples, strudel, and a small serving of chocolate for the small child. They all were delicious and all homemade. We have nothing but good things to say about this restaurant and would highly recommend visiting it. If you can get yourself a reservation. Reservations are definitely the best way to go. Once again, I cannot say enough how great our servers were. Everybody was so nice. Take a look at some of the pictures of our wonderful evening. read more

The food was good but the service was rather rude and inattentive. The duck was overlooked. The spaetzles were good but lacked seasoning. I would recommend the restaurant if the service was even 20% improved. read more

Had a fantastic meal here with great local dishes. Their onion soup is delicious. The Alsatian Chicken Supreme with mushroom oyster sauce is exceptional! My wife had the Asparagus Risotto which was delicious. Highly recommend the food here. read more

We randomly chose this restaurant and it was a great pick. We were 4 adults and one child, and every one of our meals was great. I had the entrecôte steak, other people had the sea bass, scallops, risotto, and the child had a hamburger patty, which I also tried and the ground steak was super yummy. The best part was the service. We had two of the most friendly waitresses helping us. They were very accommodating to the child traveling with us and worked hard to keep us happy. We left with smiles on our faces and our tummies full. Thank you for a wonderful meal in Strasbourg. read more

Years ago I worked at Maison des Tanneurs across the street, l'onion used to open at 11 PM to 5AM, I spend many happy hours there in my Youth... These days however its a regular restaurant , with great Alacian Food as well as great meats, fish. The steaks are second to none in the area. I would recommend highly, great location in la petite France read more

Went to restaurant on reviews- very disappointed. It was fair nothing I can say was exceptional in flavor or presentation. I had the scallops and shrimp and my partner had the duck breast which was not outstanding. We expected great sauces and could not taste honey sauce on duck and no sauces on scallops. Both dishes needed seasonings. The onion soup was far from being good. Very little cheese and no seasonings. Would not return. Too many great restaurants in Strasbourg to have a good French meal. read more

We came here as a recommendation from our hotel concierge (Hotel Cour du Corbeau), who was able to procure us 7:30pm reservations as soon as the restaurant opened that evening. The bread came with this creamed corn house made dip/spread that was so delicious that I just ate it straight with the spoon! We shared the escargot for appetizer. The herb garlic butter was so good I soaked it all in bread and cleaned the plate. I got the filet foie gras with frites, and my husband got the tiger ribeye steak with rice. I ordered my filet rare and it was cooked perfectly. The foie gras was pan fried and melted in my mouth! I wasn't a huge fan of the truffle oil, but I still loved the dish overall! My husband ordered his ribeye medium rare and it was a little overcooked further from the center, but the marinade, herbs, fried onions were SO good! We shared a 0.25L of red wine as well as the creme brulee, which was perfection! We loved this meal! Love the French! read more

During an 10-day vacation in early August, we enjoyed one of our favorite dinners here. Beef steaks are the speciality here, and we certainly enjoyed ours, but the very friendly waiter/proprietor--entirely fluent in English--made the meal memorable. I ordered the Tiger Steak, and my wife selected another steak which was paired with a "mystery" glass of red wine, the provenance of which would not be revealed until later in the meal. Both steaks were wonderful (I enjoyed my wife's more than mine), and the wine turned out to be Italian and very good with the steak. The waiter explained that he enjoyed the wine on a trip to Italy. We were guessing French, which was probably the point the point being made. I'm glad this restaurant makes an effort to entertain tourists like us, since I am sure they see a lot of tourists come and go, throughout the busy holiday season. We didn't have a reservation since we had just arrived in Strasbourg, but I would suggest making one for dinner. The restaurant was at capacity by the time we left. read more

Very quaint restaurant in the heart of petite France with amazing steaks. I have had steaks from most of the best steakhouses in the US and would put this or near the top. Lots of other great choices as well. My wife got an incredible seafood risotto. Great service from the owner who is very friendly and speaks perfect English. I eat here once every time I come to strasbourg. read more
