The best bistros and brasseries Esch-Sur-Alzette

Renowned for its Luxembourgish and French specialities, the Brasserie du Musée national des mines de fer luxembourgeoises welcomes you in a typical and warm setting all year round. The establishment boasts a large sunny terrace and a children's play area. The menu features many dishes typical of French and Luxembourg cuisine: escargots, frogs' legs, fondue bourguignonne, chef's scallops and cordon bleu with mushroom cream. A convivial address to die for.

When you think of Amarcord, you think of Fellini... Yet the setting and ambience of this address are far from reminiscent of Rimini, and the decor is thoroughly modern. The cuisine is simple but uses fresh, seasonal, quality produce. The wine list is also well worth a look. Service is also impeccable. Located in the Centre Culturel Régional Opderschmelz, Amarcord is at the heart of Dudelange's cultural life. Concerts, exhibitions, cinema... everything you need to have a good time.

The Ratelach is a bistro where you can relax after a dose of culture at the Kulturfabrik. Situated at the back of the courtyard, this quiet and friendly café is ideal for relaxing and chatting over a drink or a bite to eat. Indeed, although the place is mainly used as a bar (there is a range of beers!), a small restaurant is offered, with quiches, pizzas and vegan dishes. Small plays, literary evenings, concerts and game nights are regularly organised.

The Bei der Giedel restaurant is housed in a listed old house with a dovecote. Not to be confused with the café in Fond-de-Mines, where it once stood. The friendly, authentic setting serves tartines, omelettes, salads and meats, as well as Luxembourg specialities and fondues and raclettes. Parking is available, as is a large play area for children.

In the heart of Belval, a stone's throw from the Université du Luxembourg and the Rockhal, Beeftro - a combination of the words "beef" and "bistro" - is a steakhouse like no other. Here, you can enjoy quality meat in a modern, elegant and trendy setting, in keeping with the industrial spirit of the premises. The menu offers a series of street food-style dishes to share, as well as a selection of meats cooked in four different ways (tagliata, Milanese, barbecued or as a burger). Vegetarian options are also available.
