FOOD & DINING IN LUXEMBOURG
Luxembourg cooking combines German heartiness with Franco-Belgian finesse. The preparation of trout, pike and crayfish is excellent, as are the pastries and cakes. Delicious desserts are prepared with local liqueurs, and a dash of quetsch, mirabelle or kirsch will be added to babas or fruit cups. Most aspects of restaurants and bars are similar to the rest of Europe. Luxembourg’s white Moselle wines resemble those of the Rhine, but are drier than the fruitier wines of the French Moselle. Beer is another speciality and is a traditional industry. Minimum drinking age: The minimum age for drinking in bars is 17, and anyone younger than 17 must be accompanied by an adult in cafes and bars. Hours are generally from 0700-2400 (weekdays) and until 0300 (weekends and public holidays).
National specialities:
• Carré de porc fumé (smoked pork and broad beans or sauerkraut).
• Cochon de lait en gelée (jellied suckling pig).
• Jambon d’Ardennes (famous smoked Ardennes ham).
• Tarte aux quetsches.
• Omelette soufflée au kirsch.
National drinks:
• Bofferding, Diekirch Mousel and Simon (beer).
• Eau de vie (45 to 50 per cent alcohol). |
