Siegfried

This local café is packed with regulars, whether they live or work in the area. In addition to the tables, people like to sit at the counter, first for an aperitif, then to stay for a Luxembourgish dish.

Siegfried: 41, allée Scheffer, L-2520 Luxembourg. T.: 27 40 41 41

Nonbe

In this excellent Japanese restaurant, chef Norihiro Imamura stays true to the fundamentals of Japanese gastronomy. You can sit at the counter and enjoy the ‘izakaya’ (‘brasserie’ in Japanese) atmosphere, and watch him at work in the open kitchen.

Nonbe: 31, porte de France, L-4360 Esch-Belval. T.: 27 99 89 88

Paname

What could be more natural than to eat at the counter in this bar which clearly claims its links with the French capital? Start with a cocktail and continue with a charcuterie board to share or a tartare.

Paname: 50, rue Sainte-Zithe, L-2763 Luxembourg (Gare). T.: 24 87 31 62

Aka Cité

Japanese specialities take pride of place here. You sit down at the counter to choose your dishes, which pass before your eyes on the sushi train. The chef prepares sushi, maki, sashimi and other Japanese specialities as you go along. It’s a delight for young and old alike. The price of the contents of each plate differs according to the colour of the “Aka” logo engraved on it (red Aka = €4, blue Aka = €3, yellow Aka = €6...). The bill is calculated according to the number of plates accumulated.

Aka Cité: 3, rue Genistre, L-1623 Luxembourg (Ville Haute). T.: 20 33 22 45
