​​🇫🇷 Strasbourg Food Diary | 48 Hours of Non-Stop Eating! 🍽️✨​​

Living in Germany for 2 years before realizing ​​Strasbourg​​ is just a 2.5-hour drive away? Criminal! Here’s how I made up for lost time with buttery pastries, burgers, and questionable eclairs: ​​🥐 Pastry Crawl​​ ​​1️⃣ Donatien Maître Eclair 📍 Famous but overhyped ​​Matcha Eclair​​: Raspberry jam overpowered everything 🍓 (where’s the tea?!). ​​Smoked Salmon Eclair​​: Savory surprise 🐟 (good, not mind-blowing). ​​Verdict​​: Skip if you hate crowds (but cute for photos 📸). ​​2️⃣ Maison SOA​​💫 📍 5min walk from Donatien ​​Canelés​​: Tonka bean > orange blossom 🌸 (both too sweet 🍯). ​​Cold Brew​​: Spiced oddity ☕ (cardamom? cinnamon? mystery!). ​​Tip​​: Eat canelés fresh—day-old = hockey pucks 🏒. ​​🍔 Savory Bites​​ ​​3️⃣ PNY GRAND'RUE 📍 Hipster burger joint (4.7 Google stars 🌟) ​​Burger​​: Juicy patty + brioche bun = no regrets 🍔. ​​Fries​​: Shoestring-style 🍟 (crispy outside, mushy inside 🤤). ​​Vibe​​: Neon lights + loud music 🎵 (millennial magnet). ​​💡 Lessons Learned​​ ​​Lower Eclair Expectations​​: Instagram fame ≠ flavor 😅. ​​Canelé Hack​​: Microwave for 10sec → softens shells 🌀. ​​Strasbourg Secret​​: Alsatian flammekueche > burgers (next time!). ​​#StrasbourgFoodTour #EclairDisappointment​
