La Bastille
A family-run small eatery beside St. Johann Market, famous for Dibbelabbes, the Saarland national dish, made fresh daily.
Run by the Grolier family since 1994, this small restaurant is tucked into the quiet alley Kronenstraße beside St. Johann Market. It has about 30 seats indoors and outdoors and blends German and French flavors. Its signature is Dibbelabbes, a potato, bacon and leek flatbread made fresh every day. It comes in several versions: classic, Asian-style, with sherry-cured herring, or with smoked trout, and a vegetarian version is available. Daily specials include cream mussels and Burgundy beef stew. The wine list focuses on French and local wines. Seating is limited, and evening service runs only on Fridays and Saturdays, so reservations are recommended.
