Luxembourg Gastronomy, I wish I had more time to dive into it. This was another country that I need to re-visit with a more serious focus on their cuisine. I only had one day out in Luxembourg City because I had to play catch up with a bit of writing. Everything worked out though and what I ate was pretty great!
From lunching at one of the city’s highly rated restaurants to eating a huge plate of Spaghetti Bolognese at my hotel, my short list of “What I ate in Luxembourg – A Food Journal”.
Lunching in Luxembourg
Prior to my eight weeks in Europe excursion, I researched restaurants in Luxembourg for a nice lunch on my first day there. My specifications were an upscale restaurant, serving traditional food and good regional wine. I decided Café – Restaurant Um Dierfgen was the place and it did not disappoint.
Kniddelen mat Speck was on my list of dishes to try while in Luxembourg and I found it at Um Dierfgen. I loved the little flour dumplings served with cream and parsley. I had the option to have it with bacon and of course I chose that option. It was accompanied with a side of fresh bread and my delicious meal was the perfect “Welcome to Luxembourg” lunch!
If I am anything, I am picky on my Riesling. I have tried excellent ones and others that do not hit my palate just right. I have found that German Rieslings from the Mosel Valley, are quite perfect in my book. So I was excited to try one of Germany’s neighboring country’s Rieslings. I was very impressed with Luxembourg’s Riesling as it was similar to Germany’s. So if someone gifts me with a bottle of Luxembourg Riesling, I will be your friend for a lifetime!

Ohhh Oberweis!
I am very glad that I found Oberweis in Luxembourg. This boulangerie is also a patisserie and restaurant, it sounds perfect does it not? I decided on a couple of savory items; a toastie topped with prawn, pate, egg and vegetables. Also a delicious flaky roll filled with a generous serving of pate. It was a nice treat to eat while I was doing some writing in my hotel room.

A Couple of Tasty Things
So I am a definite pastry-type girl. Pastries are another food that I have to stop, sniff the doorway and do a bit of window licking. I was fortunate enough to have Fischer bakery next door to my hotel, which came in handy on that writing day.

So Much Spaghetti Bolognese
My hotel in Luxembourg was above an Italian restaurant. Can you guess what was for dinner? So many carbs! I cannot complain though as my gigantic Spaghetti Bolognese was good comfort food. It was very similar to what I used to make for family dinners now and then.
I also was given a free welcome cocktail and a bowl of bar nuts, It was not a bad deal really.
