Food glorious (Luxembourgish) food!

Luxembourg is said to be one of the only countries where pizzas taste as they do in Italy. Chinese food is not thought of as simply takeaway food and generally well-prepared meals are served in restaurants scattered around the country instead of greasy little snack joints. And, after a thorough look, you’ll find a decent curry too. Whatever your palate fancies, it’s usually not hard to find a restaurant nearby that will cater for just what you want, but what about Luxembourgish food?

While walking around the “Schueberfouer” or the “Octave” (on Place Guillaume in Spring) where some of the fairground “container-restaurants” set up shop, you might be offered “gebaackene Fesch” (deep-fried trout or other freshwater fish). At times, the local pizzeria might leave room on their menu for “Moules Marinières" or "Moules à la Luxembourgeoise” (mussels) from September to the end of January. However, mussels can’t really be said to be a local specialty, since they come from Belgium.
