Luxembourg, a genuine culinary hotspot, is home to a myriad of restaurants with flavours from around the world. From Europe and Asia to the Americas and Africa, each address offers a unique gourmet experience. Join us on a tour of international culinary delights that you simply have to try.

 

Europa

We start in Europe with La Bodega, a must-visit for aficionados of Portuguese cuisine. Just a stone’s throw from the Grand Ducal Palace, this restaurant offers classics such as bacalhau à Bras or the renowned grilled fish, served with wines from the Douro region. Its welcoming atmosphere will remind you of the authentic Portuguese eateries, where tasty food is considered a vital piece of the puzzle if you want to live well. The staff are very accommodating and the dishes are prepared with ingredients directly imported from Portugal, guaranteeing an authentic culinary experience. The restaurant also offers specialities such as seafood cataplana, a simmered dish with sunny flavours.

Let’s stay in Europe a bit longer and head over to El Barrio, with its refined tapas and spicy cocktails that will make you dream of Spain. Here, the guests share plates of Iberian ham, patatas bravas, and Manchego cheese croquettes in a festive atmosphere, with flamenco and Spanish guitars in the background. Their paella, prepared according to the traditional Valencian recipe, is a proper treat, as is their assortment of pintxos (small snacks), ideal for those eager to discover the diversity of Spanish cuisine. Their desserts, such as crema catalana or churros accompanied by thick hot chocolate, are the perfect way to round off this Iberian culinary experience.

Do you love Italian food? If so, Dal Notaro is an authentic gem that you have to visit. Considered one of the best Italian restaurants in Luxembourg, it offers a wide selection of fresh pasta and wood-fired pizzas, including their famous truffle pizza, a treat for foodies that crave rich and subtle flavours. The chef, originally from Rome, ensures that each dish scrupulously respects Italian culinary traditions, using PDO products such as mozzarella di bufala and Parma ham. Among the evergreens, we also find osso buco alla Milanese and arancini, those small, stuffed and breaded rice balls, typical of Sicily. Wine lovers will be delighted by the carefully selected list of Italian wines, perfectly paired to each dish.

Let’s head to the Mediterranean region now with Ambrosia, which pays tribute to Greece with dishes like grilled squid and lamb shank, simmered with aromatic herbs and served with homemade pita bread. The atmosphere is typically Greek, with decorations reminiscent of the whitewashed houses of the Cyclades. The menu also features specialities such as moussaka, souvlaki, and an assortment of mezze, perfect for a convivial meal. Got room for a dessert? The homemade baklava, prepared with nuts and fragrant honey, immediately transports guests to the centre of Athens.

Asia

Now let’s head over to Asia, a continent of flavours and contrasts. Chop Sticks is renowned for its diverse Asian cuisine, featuring Thai and Chinese-inspired dishes, such as crispy roast duck and fried noodles with crunchy vegetables. Thai curries are prepared with homemade curry pastes and creamy coconut milk, offering a mouth-watering explosion of flavours. Popular starters include shrimp spring rolls and tom yum soup, which offer a taste of Southeast Asian cuisine.

More specialised, Kobe Sushi is a temple dedicated to sushi, offering a refined selection of nigiri, sashimi, and maki prepared with high-quality, fresh fish imported directly from Japan. The sushi chef, trained in Tokyo, serves unique creations, such as foie gras makis or truffle gunkan, made for lovers of new gastronomic discoveries. Homemade donburis and ramen complete the menu, allowing for a total immersion in Japanese gastronomy.

Moroccan

Feel like diving into the Moroccan culinary universe? Caftan invites its visitors to enjoy an atmosphere worthy of a thousand and one nights. Savoury tagines, fragrant couscous, and oriental pastries are the stars of the menu, accompanied by mint tea served in true Berber fashion. Their chicken and almond pastillas, subtly seasoned with cinnamon and honey, are a genuine delicacy. India and Nepal are also represented with Annapurna and Sherpa. Both restaurants offer dishes with authentic flavours, ranging from chicken tikka masala to Tibetan momos, and don’t forget the delicious lentil dals flavoured with turmeric and ginger. Annapurna showcases the art of tandoori grilling, while Sherpa focuses on a welcoming, intimate atmosphere enhanced by its Himalayan foothill-inspired decor.
