Restaurant Description
Au Crocodile can trace its history and its name back to the time of Napoleon, as legend has it that the majestic stuffed crocodile that takes pride of place in the restaurant was brought back to Strasbourg from Napoleon's Egyptian campaign by Captain Ackermann. He installed the crocodile in the tavern which was the site for today's three Michelin-starred Au Crocodile restaurant.
Today it is the power-duo of Monique & Emile Jung which give Au Crocodile its star quality and since 1971 when they took over its ownership. Since then Emile has proven himself as a formidable chef and has been accompanied by Monique, the gracious and omnipresent hostess who tends to every need in the dining room.
Emile's style in the kitchen is to add his personal flair, making him known as somewhat a pioneer, or "author" of cuisine, although his respect of traditional French cooking and good, seasonal ingredients mixes well to prove customers experience the best in fine dining.
Famous for:
Some samples from the delectable current menu include a starter of Grilled Duck Liver with Rhubarb and Apple, Citrus Fruits and Ginger Sauce.
Mains such as the Poached French Lobster served with golden Vermicelli with Sugar Beans and pink Pepper.
