Luxembourg does however have its own unique cuisine, which is influenced by its neighbouring countries. To enhance your dining experience, there are lots of wonderful wines from the Moselle Valley and a number of strong and flavourful ales, similar to those from Belgium. Excellent cafes and restaurants can be found in all areas of Luxembourg City. Lunch is typically a leisurely affair, often lasting from 12:00 to 14:00; and the most popular time for dinner at local restaurants is from 19:00 to 22:00. Casual dress is fine at most eateries, although somewhat stylish dress is the norm here: a jacket and tie will be expected at the better restaurants. Local cuisine
The location of Luxembourg has provided it with many influences from French, German and Belgium cuisines. The locals will be sure to tell you however; that they have a proud history of developing their own specialties and that you’re sure to enjoy them. Dishes such as judd mat gaardebohnen (smoked pork with broad beans) and rou-tou-tou (potato hot-pot) are distinct favourites. Many of Luxembourg’s eateries combine the quality of French cuisine with the hearty nature of the German. Although the prices may seem quite high to many visitors, they do follow the high cost of living in Luxembourg and you will probably end up feeling that you’ve gotten quite good value for your money. As Luxembourg is a wine-growing region, its vintages can be tasted at most bars and restaurants in the city. White wines from the Moselle Valley are particularly nice and this is a good place to sample the products of some of the lesser-known vineyards, as some of the smaller wineries don’t produce enough for export. ‘Elbling’ is an everyday table wine that is well-loved, as is Rivaner. If you’re looking for something a bit more special, try the Pinos Gris and the Gewurztraminers, which are reputedly some of the best you’ll taste anywhere in the world. |
