Au Pont Corbeau, 21 Quai St. Nicolas; 03/8835-6068. A very popular restaurant with both locals and tourists. Very cozy with wood beamed ceilings and painted panels, wood paneled walls, wooden tables all snuggled close together so it is easy to talk to your neighbor. Get there between 7 and 7:30 to avoid a wait. Try their Confiture au porc (pig's cheeks!) Very tender and delicious. Served over saurkraut with fresh vegetables. Their house wine, a red, light pinot noir is also wonderful. Dinners around 18 including the wine and dessert.
