Marché des Délices Alsaciens

The Marché des Délices Alsaciens (Alsatian Delicacies Market) is Strasbourg's premier food-focused Christmas market, split across two picturesque locations along 'Le Quai des Délices.' Positioned at Place du Marché-aux-Poissons and on the elegant Terrasse du Palais Rohan overlooking the Ill River, this market celebrates the rich gastronomic heritage of Alsace during the festive season. The Terrasse Rohan offers stunning views of nearly 400 twinkling stars suspended from Pont du Corbeau to Pont Saint Guillaume, creating a magical backdrop for your culinary exploration. Here, visitors discover authentic regional specialties including traditional bredele cookies in countless flavors and shapes, aromatic pain d'épices (gingerbread), and warming vin chaud made with local Alsatian white wine. The Fédération des Boulangeries du Bas-Rhin operates a pop-up bakery showcasing artisanal baking traditions, while the Tribu des Gourmets chalet serves authentic mulled wine in a convivial atmosphere decorated with wooden barrels and traditional frames. Local winemakers present excellent grape varieties from regional estates, and visitors can sample craft beers, foie gras fermier, and other Alsatian delicacies. The market's location near the Palais Rohan and along the riverside creates an intimate, gourmet atmosphere perfect for food lovers. For the ultimate experience, arrive in the late afternoon to watch the riverside illuminations come alive while savoring warm treats from the artisan vendors.
