Luxembourg’s cosmopolitan flair can be seen on the street as well as on the plate.

Italy, Peru, Argentina or simply Brittany have a thousand flavors for you to discover. In Luxembourg, you can even try a dinner in the dark! Here are 5 must-try restaurants:
1. The Veranda

2. Mad About Peru, Hollerich
A glass of Pisco sour, a plate of quinoto con hongos or ceviche nikkei and you’re whisked away to the Andes. Peru awaits you in this restaurant run by an attentive and passionate team. Gourmet and surprising cuisine, Peruvian gastronomy has been inspired by many cultures and fused them together, to our great delight. Behind glass, you can see the cooks busily cooking ultra-fresh produce.
The restaurant isn’t large, so it’s best to make a reservation.
