What do you do on another rainy day in Strasbourg

Well, first you go to the TI and use your smartphone to photograph the entries out of the Michelin Green Guide for restaurants. Then you use your battered map of Strasbourg to find one that was listed as "middle price".
After past the restaurant without noticing it because it offers no terrace seating, you struggle to understand the restaurant owner who speaks Alsacian as her first language and you are presented with a blackboard menu that you can nearly read, like this one. You ask the waitress the basics "Cochon?" (Pork?) "Poisson? (Fish?) as you point at things on the menu, but the answer is so fast you really don't know for sure what you're about to order. Still, you go for it. How bad can it be?
You also order a glass of wine from the Vins d'Alsace.
Then you sit back, watching the people at the other 11 tables in the small room finishing off something that looks good.
