Get more out of every meal.
Luxembourg's best food market is the Saturday Place Guillaume II market — arrive by 8AM for the best selection before locals snap up the finest produce
Judd mat Gaardebounen (smoked pork collar with broad beans) is the national dish — order it at Am Tiirmschen or Beim Tommy for an authentic experience
Moselle Cremant is Luxembourg's best-kept wine secret — pick up bottles at Caves Bernard-Massard for a fraction of Champagne prices
Oberweis on Grand-Rue is the must-visit patisserie — their pralines and cakes have been served at royal events
The Gare district has excellent Portuguese and Italian restaurants frequented by locals — Rue Glesener has the highest density of authentic immigrant cuisine
Most restaurants close Sunday evenings and Monday — plan accordingly or head to the Clausen district which has the most consistent late-night options
Luxembourg's 11 Michelin-starred restaurants are highly competitive for bookings — reserve 4-6 weeks in advance for two-starred venues Ma Langue Sourit and Lea Linster
Gromperekichelcher (potato pancakes) are the quintessential Luxembourg street food — found at Christmas markets, the Schueberfouer fair, and occasional market stalls
