Luxembourg Food Guide

I have to admit that I had no idea what to eat in Luxembourg before we planned our trip. I expected a lot of influence from both France and Germany, but was excited to learn about the traditional foods of Luxembourg. 

What To Eat In Luxembourg

When it comes to how to visit Luxembourg city for food, a lot of the top restaurants in the city focus on international cuisine. There are some top-notch French restaurants, along with Italian and Asian.

But, I wanted to eat Luxembourg specialities, ones that I can’t get in every big city. In this Luxembourg Food Guide, I share some of the top must-eat dishes in Luxembourg.

Although some of these are certainly influenced by France or Germany, they each seem to have a little bit of Lux in them as well. It’s common to find dishes like spatzle, goulash, and schnitzel, but I tried to include below some more of the food from Luxembourg rather than Germany. In many cases it’s hard to separate the two. The same goes for French cuisine.

Cost Of Eating In Luxembourg

One thing to note about eating in Luxembourg. Dining out in the city, and the surrounding towns and villages, is not cheap. Most main courses cost somewhere around €20 a plate.

The portions are huge! So there is some value there, but dining out in Luxembourg is not like tapas hopping in Seville, where you are able to taste a little bit of everything. You are sort of committing to a larger portion. Try sharing with your travel companions to try more dishes.

Traditional Foods of Luxembourg – 12 Must Eat Luxembourg Foods

Luxembourg cuisine is hearty. Part of this might be due to the German influence, but it also probably has to do with the weather. Luxembourg can get pretty cold and it rains a lot.

Much of the food in Luxembourg is stick to your bones cuisine. The type of food that makes you want to crawl up afterwards in front of a warm fire with a little schnapps. There’s nothing wrong with that.

Many Luxembourg restaurant menus are in multiple language. Despite being an international city a few menus did not have English translations. Expect to see menus in Luxembourgish, French, and German, the three official languages of Luxembourg.

I tried to include the translations or words for each of these dishes in Luxembourgish. If you are from Luxembourg, and I got a spelling wrong, please let me know. I tried my best!
