When thinking of Alsatian cuisine, you probably picture hearty dishes based on meat, charcuterie, and sauerkraut. But in reality, Alsace offers a wide range of dishes and desserts that vary with the seasons.

In addition to classics like Kougelhopf, flammekueche (tarte flambée), quark tart, pretzels, and spaetzle, you can enjoy delicious white and green asparagus in May. We also loved the rhubarb meringue tart — a must-try!
