7Strasbourg Christmas Market – The Gourmet Capital of Noël
As the oldest and most iconic market in France, Strasbourg is a feast for the senses. While its fairy-tale setting is famous worldwide, its food scene is what truly captivates culinary travelers.
Expect to find steaming flammekueche—a thin, crispy Alsatian flatbread layered with cream, onions, and bacon—served hot from wood-fired ovens. Follow the scent of ginger, cinnamon, and orange peel to discover bredele, Strasbourg’s beloved Christmas biscuits baked in dozens of varieties. Cheese lovers will swoon over the munster and rich Alpine raclette being shaved over potatoes or baguettes. Pair everything with a cup of vin chaud spiced to perfection, and Strasbourg becomes a gourmet wonderland built for festive indulgence.
