Restaurant Le Sud | Rives de clausen — Restaurant in Luxembourg

A few days ago, I had the chance to dine at Lesud De Luxembourg with my partner. This restaurant is located in Luxembourg, but it’s a bit outside the city center, in an entertainment district. From the photos, it looks like an old, historic restaurant, but it’s actually a relatively new place, set on the second floor of a building. Upon arrival, a courteous attendant greeted us and took care of our coats—a nice touch that added to the experience. There’s a bar on the top floor and the restaurant itself is on the second floor.

The decor is charming, with a classic style that gives it an old-fashioned feel, though it's more a choice of decor than actual age. Despite it being a Saturday night, the restaurant was surprisingly quiet, with few other patrons, which made me wonder if it’s not very popular with the locals.

Regarding the food, Lesud De Luxembourg offers a 95-euro menu. Considering that the individual dishes are quite pricey (around 40 to 50 euros each), the set menu seemed like a good choice, but unfortunately, it didn’t live up to expectations. Most of the courses were starters that felt more like filler and lacked real flavor or creativity. The soups and other appetizers were bland, and the desserts were also rather underwhelming. The main courses, on the other hand (we tried both fish and meat dishes), were fine—nothing outstanding, but decent, although even they didn’t quite justify the high prices.

If you plan on visiting this restaurant, I’d recommend skipping the set menu and instead opting directly for a main course from the à la carte options. The wine list was certainly one of the highlights of the evening; we ordered a Slovakian wine that was the best part of the meal.

Service was decent but not particularly memorable. One of the younger waiters seemed to be making a good effort, which we appreciated, but there was a strange moment when another waiter came to bring us the check. He had added a bottle of water we hadn’t ordered, and he was somewhat brusque, barely making eye contact and almost tossing the receipt onto the table.

In summary, it’s not a bad restaurant, but I don’t think it’s a place I’d go back to. If you do decide to try it, check the bill at the end and focus on ordering just main dishes to make the most of...

Disappointing in general. As it happens to be with majority of michelin restaurants - the food was average and boring. While the deer I had was the softest meat I've probably ever tried (extremely tender and juicy while not fat at all - bravo for it) the rest was dull and confusing. Portions are very small so if you intend to try something very new and order anything you never tried then probably you'll be satisfied - quality of food is high, but if you feel really passionate for food and are in a search for full satisfaction then you'd probably stay hungry. Bread. I'm used to variety of tasty breads baked in high-category restaurants. Freshly baked, crunchy original/authentic recipes with different seeds, kernels, nuts - what can better emphasize attention to customers? No, here you get absolutely standard bread that you can buy in Cactus or Auchan. The dessert was ok but definitely not top. More or less same quality you can buy in a good coffee-shop. Second disappointment is the service. Simple thing that their personnel is not aware of is the etiquette - in places like that you shall stay invisible when you collect dishes and shine brightly when you bring food, serve the table like a little show, amusement. Here a simple sincere smile was extremely uncommon. Come on, even at McDonalds they smile at you! Or another thing - I was in the middle of buttering the bread with salt & pepper when the waiter came to collect salt- and perrer-shaker. Are you blind and don't see that the guest is not finished? Even guests around the table noticed this was a bit rude. And then collecting the plates they stretched hands near your face in a way that few centimeters closer and they'd scratch your face... All in all if you've never been to places where they truly welcome you as an honoured guest then it's ok. But if you love, enjoy food, been around the globe, know how restaurant can perform and care about the process then you'll be...

The restaurant has good views of the valley, which is even better from the terrace. There are two separate places, the restaurant and the rooftop bar. Both are served from the same kitchen. The bar serves overpriced finger food. You are better off choosing the restaurant if you plan to eat. The interior of the restaurant is nicely done, although the ceiling's design is a bit out of place. The background music is just about audible to not disturb your conversation. At the time, slow jazz was played. The staff is corteous and well trained. Sometimes, the direct translations come off as akward from the staff..."have you appreciated the food". Also, one staff member kept trying to crack jokes about us finishing our plates. It became disturbing as the courses progressed. Service was slow. Bringing bread, after asking, took 10+ min. The drink at the terrace took 20 minutes, and it took 15 min until the order was taken. The menu has set as well as limited a la carte options. The dishes were well presented and tasty, albeit too salty. Portion size is small, as you would expect from fine dining. It's...
