The Best Restaurants in Luxembourg City

Nestled in Luxembourg’s trendy Clausen neighbourhood and close to the old city centre, Le Sud is a high-end French and Luxembourg-style restaurant where customers can dine in the elegant ground-level restaurant or enjoy impressive panoramas across the city from the terrace, which is accessible by a glass lift. The menu at Le Sud is relatively compact, but no matter what you choose, every dish comes beautifully prepared with the utmost attention to detail. Try its signature pigeonneau de Monsieur Thierry Laurent (stuffed and crusted squab with truffle mashed potatoes) or truffle risotto with a local Mosel wine or Clausel beer, which is brewed right next door.

For a superb, quality meal in a smart and intimate atmosphere, Um Plateau is the place to go. Enjoy the delightful French cuisine served in the refined and comfortable interior, or grab a spot on its outdoor terrace in the summer months, which is something of a find in Luxembourg City. Um Plateau’s menu changes weekly, so check its website before you go. Dishes can range from chef-style beef tartare on grilled bone marrow to red tuna ceviche with papaya, lemongrass and coconut milk. Be sure to make a reservation for dinner as the restaurant is one of the top spots in the city and can fill up quickly.

One of Luxembourg’s newest and most popular Greek and Mediterranean restaurants, ELA is located in Kirchberg, the city’s business district. Offering a range of fusion delights, ELA also serves several vegetarian and vegan dishes. Be sure to try the lamb kleftiko, eggplant moussaka, meze platter or the tuna steak, or stop in for a drink and one of its many appetisers. The decor is both inviting and cosy, with wooden tables and fresh flowers throughout – the perfect complement to a delicious meal. The portions are generous, so consider choosing a few dishes to share among your table.

Located in the heart of the city centre, Snooze Sportsbar is the go-to spot for hamburgers in Luxembourg. Its outdoor terrace lies in the pedestrian area of the city, making it an excellent place for people-watching right in the middle of the action. The bar also boasts an impressive drinks menu with more than 30 beers. Snooze offers gluten-free hamburger buns and four different veggie burgers, and the flexible menu means you’ll be able to create your perfect burger combination – with toppings such as eggs, guacamole, fried onions, parmesan cheese chips and chilli mayonnaise, to name a few.

When searching for Mexican cuisine in Luxembourg City, look no further than Frida Mexican Cantina. From guacamole and pico de gallo to fajitas and burritos, each item on the menu is freshly prepared by the chefs, who hail from Oaxaca and use authentic recipes. Be sure to pair your meal with a Mexican cerveza (beer) or sangria. The atmosphere reflects Mexico itself, too; the music is lively, the decor colourful and the staff friendly. Located right next door to the local concert hall, Frida is the perfect start to any evening.
