Au Brasseur

Au Brasseur at 22 rue des Veaux offers an alternative to the classic winstub: beer made on site, brewery-style tables and a menu combining regional dishes with tarte flambée. Its website traces the brewing tradition here to the l’Espérance brewery, founded in 1746 and closed in 1863; the present business resumed brewing in 1991. The historical account accompanies an in-house production that visitors can explore through tastings and guided tours.

The official menu presents house-brewed blonde, white and amber beers alongside flammekueche, spaetzle and more substantial dishes. Customers often praise the beers, lively atmosphere and some tarte flambées; there are also criticisms of kitchen consistency and specific dishes, so the experience may depend on what you order. It is a more informal choice for sharing food and sampling different beers, rather than a substitute for a slower Alsatian restaurant meal.

The restaurant publishes its phone number and long opening hours; the hot kitchen closes before the venue, and the final tarte flambée order has a separate cut-off, which matters for a late dinner. The cathedral is within walking distance through the centre, and the official site offers reservations. Its menu links to the restaurant’s Instagram account. Compared with Chez Yvonne, Au Brasseur is louder, brews its own beer and encourages shared plates; plan around kitchen hours, not the closing time at the door.
