• Mosconi★ Michelin Gracious Simonetta and veteran chef Ilario Mosconi have been adding an exuberant note to Luxembourg’s fine dining scene since 1986. Originally from Lombardy, the couple welcomes you into a handsome townhouse steeped in swish elegance and boasting a terrace by the River Alzette. The secret of their success no doubt lies in their overriding desire to please their guests. In true Italian tradition, the cuisine is founded on first-class ingredients and everything is made from scratch in a pared back culinary ethos. Rather than a glut of ingredients, each subtle dish sings an ode to the south court375m
• La Villa de Camille et Julien★ Michelin Camille Tardif and Julien Lucas’ knock-out villa is a genuine ode to top-drawer Gallic ingredients. Only the best produce, like Brittany lobster and Provence asparagus, gets onto the table. Chef Lucas learnt the ropes in top French restaurants, notably with Joël Robuchon, as you will quickly taste in his high-flying repertory. His steadfast commitment to sustainable development and his love of Luxemburg produce demonstrate how in tune with his era he is. His delicate craftsmanship and flawless technique can be appreciated in dishes like hare à la royale crafted to textbook perfection: strong g991m
• Le Lys★ Michelin Take a break from the frantic pace of daily life and immerse yourself in the classically appointed Le Lys, dripping in romanticism. The restaurant is established in the historic Villa Pétrusse Hotel, built in 1880 and restored from top to toe. You have a choice of dining rooms, among which the extravagant Renaissance Marie-Thérèse salon whose huge mirrors and frescoes are the epitome of luxury and historic cachet. Chef Kim De Dood has returned to his roots to blend Luxembourg cuisine with big-boned Asian overtones in a superlative venue. Expect to sample a repertory that reveals the chef’s hig996m
• Ryôdô★ Michelin Ryôdô embodies Japan’s legendary respectful lifestyle in the heart of Luxemburg’s suburbs. The luminous interior and light wooden furnishings are suitably minimalist and the food is exquisitely served by women attired in kimonos who have a knack for setting you at your ease. It is well worth savouring this fervent admiration of tradition. The lunchtime score is either à la carte or a choice of kaiseki and bento menus, while in the evening, you can choose between Sushi, Vegan or Tasting menus. Chef Ryôdô Kajiwara delicately expresses the full gamut of Japanese subtlety, calling upon the pure-br1.5km
• BazaarBib A waft of Beirut, a whiff of Athens and a gust of Tel Aviv and Marrakech: this bustling restaurant brings together the best of the Mediterranean. Kick off your meal with a freshly shaken cocktail at the bar as you try and make your choice from the bewildering array of delicacies to share. How about a ceviche, perfectly balanced between sweet and tangy flavours, a velvety houmous or the ever-popular mezze? Spices and fruity flavours subtly underscore each dish. We must admit to having fallen head over heels with the grilled aubergine in tahini, confit garlic and peaches – to die for!609m
• Grünewald Chef’s Table★ Michelin An open kitchen framed by a green marble counter occupies the centre of this stylishly appointed, street corner edifice. The counter seats are particularly popular, but there is also a friendly communal table available. It is a pleasure to admire Clovis Degrave and his team, who are more than happy to chat and share with diners. We recommend the several course set menu that blends creativity with Japanese serenity.The chef avows a weakness for exceptional ingredients, whose quality he underscores thanks to amusing textures and big-boned sauces. For example, he may gently sear a slice of Balfeg3.1km
• Fields by René Mathieu★ Michelin René Mathieu has set up shop in the Airfield Hotel as he pursues his work with plants. This champion of Luxembourg’s terroir and of the rich plant world continues to grow without disavowing his ambitious or innovative streak. His unorthodox approach to vegetables, herbs and fruits is truly impressive. He presents the raw ingredients of each of his dishes, explaining their qualities and how he cooks them. Chef Mathieu endeavours to shine the spotlight on authentic natural flavours, underscoring them subtly and intensely. His sauces further enhance each dish, adding suave smoky notes which are t5.3km
• Clairefontaine Clairefontaine is the epitome of unostentatious luxury. This warm, stylish establishment, whose artistic dimension lends it a distinctive glamorous edge, is located bang in the heart of the city of Luxemburg, behind a majestic façade. Arnaud Magnier, a champion of fine goods from Bresse poultry to scallops from Dieppe, is a past-master when it comes to polished Gallic fare. An example: medium rare rack of lamb in a crispy parsley crust, paired with a velvety fritter of neck of lamb, a big-boned gravy and side dishes of the calibre of roasted artichoke and polenta gnocchi, all of which bear wit547m
• Equilibrium Baptiste Heugens boldly steps outside the box to create unexpected, yet balanced dishes, pairing his consummate knowhow with unconventional associations. The chef likes to cook fish (from Brittany) simply and purely, adding a new dimension thanks to side dishes jazzed up with fresh, spicy or tangy notes for added depth and intensity. A fascinating quest for culinary balance. We advise choosing a table downstairs for a bird’s eye view of the zinc counter where the dishes are prepared.622m
• Ma Langue Sourit★★ Michelin Wholehearted Cyril Molard aims to ensure that the diner enjoys their meal as much as a child devouring an ice cream! Each detail has been endlessly pondered over and then fine-tuned in this snug, trendy establishment. Creative side dishes set out to showcase the flavours of outstanding produce. The chef may add whoomph to a dish with subtle additions of tangy acidity. When he cooks asparagus, you can be certain it will be the best you have ever tasted. The fish is cooked to perfection and the succulent side dishes are paired with sauces that err towards the classical in a bid to shine the spot8.1km
