Au Coucou des Bois sur Strasbourg

First visit in January 2024 * Restaurant reopened after a year of renovations. It is now part of a large group that owns around twenty restaurants in Strasbourg. The exterior and interior renovations have given the restaurant a fresh new look. Open since January 2nd, we went on the 3rd. Reservation made online. The exterior is well-lit, the interior even more so. You'll be dazzled. Everything has been renovated, from floor to ceiling. There are three rooms: the main restaurant, the first floor, and the veranda. The welcome is warm, and we were able to choose our table. The servers are all friendly, professional, responsive, and impeccably dressed. The menu is typically Alsatian. It's extensive, with something for everyone. There are many choices of tarte flambée. The prices are on the higher end for Strasbourg. For our first visit, we opted for tarte flambée, a starter, and dessert. The tart (€10.90) is excellent, with high-quality pastry and filling. The bacon is homemade. The Strasbourg salad (€6.50) is fresh and generously topped. The foie gras (€15.90) ​​is high quality, and you can tell it's also homemade. The desserts are equally impressive. For our first visit, we had a wonderful meal, a real treat. No complaints whatsoever; it's a welcome change from the previous owner. We'll be back to try the different dishes on offer and see if the quality has declined over time. The only downside was the lack of waitresses, only waiters. This is unusual and worth noting. * Returning in March and May 2024 for lunch. The Express menu is good, and there's finally a very friendly and smiling waitress. * Returning in January 2025 for Le Coucou's first anniversary. This time it was a disappointment (so I'm downgrading from 5 to 4 stars). The waiter we had was completely out of it. Maybe it was his first night, but clearly he's not cut out for this job. Too distant and obviously not very motivated. The tarte flambée wasn't the best. The cream was tasteless, the bacon was sparse, only the crust was good and crispy. The Fleichkiechle were lukewarm. The Spätzle were good, the fries undercooked. The two desserts were excellent. There's been a lapse in quality; they need to get back on track. * Return in August 2025. This time the disappointment was even greater. The tarte flambée was better than last time. Bibelaskäs was served, but the potatoes arrived 10 minutes later. The Strasbourgeoise salad wasn't good, too much lettuce, and the grated Gruyère was too fine. We wanted to order dessert, but 30 minutes after we finished eating, the plates were still in front of us. The decline continues * Return in July 2026 Service provided by two waitresses; they are efficient and complement each other. The tart is still bland and lacks flavor. The dessert (Dame Blanche) was not great, very runny. There is still room for improvement.

Impeccable service. Very pleasant shaded terrace. Good value for money. Highly recommended.

A regular spot close to my workplace, I've never been disappointed. The food is good, Elodie and Caroline are always charming and welcoming, and the price is very reasonable. I highly recommend it.

Le Coucou des Bois has always been our family's favorite spot. It's always a pleasure to come and share a delicious pie with the family in a warm and friendly atmosphere. The staff is very pleasant. We highly recommend this place!

Excellent experience, superb meal and impeccable service. I highly recommend it, and we will be back.

Everything was perfect: the place, the atmosphere, the food, the service 👍🏻

I enjoyed the food, the setting, and the quality of the service. Good experience.

Very good restaurant, excellent food, the tarte flambée was exceptional, one of the best around Strasbourg.

We live 5 minutes from the restaurant. What a pleasure and what luck! A clean, renovated restaurant with a very warm welcome. However, the quality of the food is declining, unfortunately. Between last summer and this spring: we've gone from wonderful, incredibly delicious dishes to frozen ones (carpaccio still frozen here and there), cold ham hock in the middle, and the daily special was good but nothing special. I don't know what's changed, but please do something! 🐥🫶🏻

I came to eat at this restaurant as part of a motorcycle training course. We came as a large group, the service was perfect and the food was very good!
