Brasserie de l'Abbaye de Neumünster
New brasserie incorporated into the recently renovated Neumünster Abbey complex. Offers French cuisine, a huge open-air terrace and colourful décor. Delightful spot for a drink or well-priced bite while exploring the Grund.
-
Brasserie Guillaume
The Old Town's best brasserie. Big and brash, it opens out onto Place Guillaume II and is favoured by the city's upper crust on Saturday mornings when a market takes over the square. It's known for seafood and French cuisine, but caters eclectically - vegetarian and traditional Luxembourg fare also get a look-in. Great spot for a late-night bite, too.
-
Breedewee
Wooed by a view? No restaurant in Luxembourg can match it - in fine weather. This modern but elegant little place has a separate terrace perched high on the Corniche in a setting that's quite unique. A dozen tables are serviced by penguin-style waiters who shuttle back and forth to the main building where the French cuisine is prepared. On a warm summer's evening, this is as romantic as they come. Reservations essential.
-
Café Am Musee
Well-hidden local favourite, attached to the Musée d'Histoire de la Ville de Luxembourg, but easily overlooked. At its best for a casual lunch (modern international cuisine) on a fine summer day (reservations needed). Big umbrellas and a handful of open-air tables line an old stone wall - kick back and relax with views over the Grund and Alzette Valley. It's also good for young kids - highchairs and coloured pencils are dispensed and, when action's needed, there's a shady garden to explore.
-
Chiggeri
Hip street-level café topped by a popular 2nd-floor restaurant. The café does well-priced bistro fare; the casual but innovative restaurant features an extraordinary wine list (including many by the glass). Summer sees a breezy terrace set up across the road.
-
Confiserie Namur

-
Farfalla
Boisterous brasserie that buzzes with happy diners munching on woodfired pizza or steaming bowls of pasta. Absolutely informal (queue at the till when it's time to pay), and a great spot to satisfy spaghetti-starved kids.
-

Vegetarian and seafood dishes are the mainstay of this exciting restaurant. Exotic colours and imaginative cuisine mean it's often full, and deservedly so.

Mosconi
Come well attired to dine at Luxembourg's first Italian restaurant to be double starred by Michelin. Pasta gastronomique, fish and meat dishes are served in old-world surroundings, though it's the home-made ravioli that rates special mention. In fine weather dine on a tiny riverside terrace with the Old Town's cliff-face soaring above. Reservations essential.
-
Mousel's Cantine

French haute cuisine and seafood served with aplomb are the trademarks of this Luxembourg institution. Just three small rooms - all refined and mellow - and a dozen street-side terrace tables mean you'll need to phone ahead.
-
Taj Mahal
Authentic Indian restaurant in the train station quarter that looks like nothing but draws a full house. Subtle décor, a large section out the back (good for nonsmokers) and great-value vegetarian/nonvegetarian menus.
-
Thai Celadon
Excellent Thai food is served in calm minimal surroundings in this Old Town restaurant.
-
Upstairs
Well-hidden, 1st-floor local eatery (entry at the back of the pub, L'Interview) that does great Vietnamese and Japanese dishes in no-fuss surroundings. The lunch-time plat du jour (nonvegetarian or vegetarian dishes) is superb value.

Wengé
Local lunch favourite. Top-notch, casual restaurant and food shop that serves (and sells) some of the best coffee, cheese, pâtisseries and French cuisine in town. All shiny and black inside, or dine at one of the few tables on the pedestrianised street.
