As a Strasbourg local, I long believed that the city’s food scene was all about meat. Yet the city has changed radically. Plant-based dining has become essential, offering varied options from healthy fast food to gourmet cuisine. Here is my personal selection for eating vegan or vegetarian, even late in the evening, while avoiding tourist traps.
Harmonie Bowl and Juice

Located right in front of the cathedral, this spot is ideal for a quick yet nutritious lunch. The bowls are fresh and generous, perfect for recharging after a morning of sightseeing.

Their plant-based burger is legendary. Although it is often packed, the line moves quickly. It is the safe choice for a friendly, indulgent meal in the heart of the city.

Bistrot & Chocolat

As the name suggests, this vegetarian bistro also leans into sweet indulgence. The atmosphere is warm, typical of Parisian bistros transplanted to Alsace. It is an excellent compromise for those who want to avoid meat without giving up the pleasure of a good meal. Open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Végéman
Végéman, 18 Rue des Bateliers, 67000 Strasbourg. Google rating: 4.5/5 (1140 reviews). Moderate prices. See on Maps. If you are looking for a late option, Végéman is one of the best addresses.

Mama Bubbele

Although the menu is mainly traditional, they offer worthwhile plant-based options. The waterside view and convivial atmosphere make it a popular spot. Ideal for a more relaxed dinner, open until 11 p.m.
La Bouture - Café Restaurant Bar Végétalien Strasbourg
La Bouture - Café Restaurant Bar Végétalien Strasbourg, 11 Presqu'île André-Malraux, 67100 Strasbourg. Google rating: 4.7/5 (271 reviews). See on Maps. Located slightly outside the immediate center, this place run by Pur Co-op offers a very pleasant café-bookshop atmosphere. It is perfect for a quiet lunch or an afternoon snack. Note that it closes at 6 p.m. and remains closed on Mondays, so plan your visit accordingly.
Practical tips
To visit these places, the tram is essential. Line D serves most central stops such as 'Homme de Fer' or 'Cathédrale'. For more outlying addresses like La Bouture, choose the bus or a bike, as Strasbourg is very bike-friendly. Opening hours vary widely: many restaurants close between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., except Végéman and Mama Bubbele, which stay open late. My local tip: book at Hey Mama or Végéman if you plan to go on a weekend, as they can get very busy.
