Lately, I’ve been trying to get a little more out of my usual area when choosing where to eat. It’s very easy to fall into a comfortable bubble and always pick restaurants close to home, especially when life is busy. But Luxembourg is small, and there are plenty of places worth driving a little further … Continue reading Räiskär in Strassen: Chinese cuisine with a refined touch
I have to admit that when it comes to restaurants, I tend to stay very loyal to the south of Luxembourg. So for me, heading to Mersch already feels a little like stepping outside my usual territory. That said, every now and then it is refreshing to get out of the routine and discover somewhere … Continue reading Misushi, Mersch
Luxembourg’s food scene keeps growing, but every now and then a restaurant opens with a concept that genuinely feels new rather than simply adding another option to an already familiar category.

The name Kanpai means “Cheers!” … Continue reading Kanpai Luxembourg: a New Kind of Japanese Experience Arrives in the City Centre

Sometimes the best places are right next to you… and somehow you still forget about them. I first visited Como Restaurant years ago, shortly after moving to Esch. I remember it very clearly: I was pregnant, I remember what I ate, and mostly, I remember how much I enjoyed it. Then life happened, and for … Continue reading Como Restaurant in Esch-sur-Alzette: a rediscovery just next door
Some places come with a bit of personal history attached. For me, Mansfeld is one of them. It was actually the very first restaurant I visited when I arrived in Luxembourg back in 2006, and for several years it stayed one of my favourites. So, coming back after the change in ownership felt a bit … Continue reading Mansfeld, Luxembourg: a lovely rediscovery
