You can find French and Alsace wines, but also Australian or Italian ones, enough to take a real oenological tour around the world. At the wine bar Le Purgatoire, you can admire all the wine bottles: integrated into the decoration of the place, they are all arranged and displayed like precious books in an old library. To find your way among all these beverages, the sommeliers of the establishment offer a selection of wines of the moment with their favorite picks that evolve over the weeks. With the arrival of warmer days, we recommend a glass of Miraval, a wine from the côtes de Provence that smells like summer and holidays! Over time, the wine list, already well stocked, will be complemented by even more references... Good luck tasting them all!
Once your thirst is quenched, Le Purgatoire also offers food. French terroir is the star here. You can choose traditional platters to share, cheese or charcuterie or both for the most gourmet! On the culinary side, there are also small casseroles based on... of market products like mustard rabbit, trout en papillote, or Alsatian asparagus, safe values. Everything is homemade and offered at a small price: you will definitely find something to accompany your glass of wine.
The wine bar is located right in the heart of the bustling Strasbourg neighborhood of Krutenau.
The wine bar Le Purgatoire replaces the restaurant du Renard Prêchant. Located on Place de Zurich, you can enjoy the sun on the terrace for an aperitif with friends. The place has been around since 1550: starting as a chapel, it transformed into a restaurant and then a wine bar. Today, the only thing remaining from its religious past is the name, some decorative elements like furniture or stained glass, and of course the wine! God knows that the fun-filled nights in Krutenau don't always end in a quiet way!
