A lovely terrace lets you soak up the sun and enjoy the peaceful surroundings.

The Brasserie Beaulieu is one of those places that every self-respecting Luxembourger should not miss!

The setting is very soothing: vegetal elements (wood, rattan, plants and flowers) are delicately combined with a subtle play of candles. The intimacy is well preserved by the clever arrangement of the tables. The menu, which varies according to the season, presents fresh dishes and suggestions from the market. An address which will seduce all the fine gourmets and the amateurs of mussels (in season).

It has a large colored area with antique posters hanging on the walls allowing for lunch on the thumb. Rendez-vous of business people from the district in the week, and formulas for the most hot spot. Weakness: It's hard to have a place because of high attendance. Talent: fast service.

Quiet decoration with clean furniture and comfortable benches. A mezzanine room in the walls covered with large slats of raw wood and exposed stones adds a tendency to the whole, from Parisian inspiration. It is true that the tenanciers have worked for a long time in fashionable Parisian places. The clientele is that of the neighbourhood offices. A cocktail is available on Fridays. Weakness: Really difficult to find. Talent: excellent value for money.

A indefinable scene where you might expect to find Hemingway accoudé at the counter, because style is reminiscent of a Cuban canteen, but with something more, and something different. The small room is available for all parties. The brasserie kitchen is based on fresh products, with a different menu at midday and evening, as well as sandwiches and salads at any time.

The Bei Der Giedel restaurant is located in the heart of Luxembourg's mines. We particularly appreciate its two beautiful terraces, where you can enjoy the unique and extraordinary natural environment. The menu features sandwiches, omelettes, raclettes and tartiflettes, as well as Luxembourg specialties (such as filet de cheval). A very practical address for satisfying small hungers during a visit to Minett Park. Note that an establishment in Lausanne also bears the same name: not to be confused!

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.

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.

Le Bistrot, the restaurant of the Parc Belair hotel, welcomes its customers around a table made of simplicity and conviviality. On the menu and according to the season: salads, mussels, grilled meats and Luxembourg specialities. We like its setting worthy of a Parisian bistro, with vintage benches, imposing chandelier, wooden chairs and colourful walls. The staff is welcoming and the atmosphere friendly. In summer, despite the nearby road, the terrace hidden behind the vegetation is very pleasant.

In the heart of shopping mall Auchan, here is a small restaurant where you can eat correctly and quickly (although sometimes you have to wait a few minutes to find a place among the twenty tables). Before you sit down, you need to get closer to the window to choose what you want to eat. The speciality of the house is the pasta, especially the Roman gnocchis, quite delicious. There is also a choice between salads, puff or sandwiches. All dishes are to be tasted on site or to take away. Weakness: ., because tables are installed in the gallery. Talent: The hotel was very helpful.

A very refined and comfortable room. The small number of elegantly furnished tables allows to eat in calm and intimacy. Here is the boss who welcomes you. The staff and the chef do everything in their power to make your stay a good one. Delicious cuisine is a French tradition: foie gras of duck, burbot medallions to plancha, filets fillets nem.

In the heart of the Clausen district, Virginie and Denis Laissy welcome you to the Bick Stuff restaurant, an address where it feels like home. They created the establishment in 2004 years to treat their guests in all simplicity. Calm and serenity, that's what everyone agrees to say about this house that showcases quality cuisine and fresh produce. The French-inspired menu changes with the seasons and the chef's desires.

So there's really nothing to be picky about! In the evening, enjoy a nightcap in the bar area.

Known for the vast majority of connoisseurs and used and for reason, the restaurant has been housed in an individual house for 38 years and the sign is more than discreet. The word of mouth worked well for this district restaurant which proved its worth in the quality of its kitchen and the friendliness of the place. The dining room of this house, the art tables on the walls, and the bucolic terrace in summer are naturally restored.

Recently renovated restaurant with a trendy wine bar, combined with a trendy wine bar. Many events organised, including wine growers, DJ's, chefs or VIP. In the kitchen, the Luxembourg chef Damien Klein once had a television show on television. He published a cookbook as well. It is in a house of the historic old town that you will find the Apoteca which means in Latin wine cellar with wine amphorae. The restaurant was launched by Guy Tabourin, the founder of the Chiggeri, who became a Luxembourg institution for both wine lovers and wine lovers on weekends. The architecture and design combine modernity and elegance with the charm of the apparent stones and beams of yesteryear. The bar-lounge, in the cellar, will welcome you in a cosy atmosphere late in the evening to enjoy one of its many cocktails accompanied by a last cigar. Talent: the quality of the products. The Apoteca has like many restaurants of its kind a pretentious concept, but it's… and creativity is very commendable. Recommended to those who do not appreciate the very inventive and eccentric dishes and find a small portion on the plate! A warm recommendation to gourmets in search of dreams…
