The gnocchi were well-cooked, with a nice texture, and the pumpkin sauce added a sweet, earthy flavor that complemented the dish. However, while everything was tasty, it didn't quite have that wow factor that makes a meal unforgettable. It was comforting and satisfying, which in many ways is just what you want from a cozy brasserie like this.What truly elevated the experience at Brasserie de l'Écurie was the service.

Read moreThe establishment exudes an air of elegance, and the service provided is commendable. Our party indulged in two delectable offerings. Firstly, the seafood salad, while adequately prepared, failed to ignite our palates with any extraordinary flavors. Regrettably, the frutti di mare, moscardini, gamberetti, and their counterparts appeared diminutive in size, diminishing the overall impact of the dish.
Additionally, we ventured into the realm of gastronomy with the gilt-head bream fillet accompanied by a medley of vegetables reminiscent of ratatouille. Alas, the execution left much to be desired, as the fish was found to be overcooked, compromising its tenderness. To compound matters, the vegetable medley, although attempting to complement the main course, was afflicted by an excessive saltiness that clashed dissonantly with the flavors on offer.
On a positive note, the wine selection proved to be a saving grace, as the pinot gris displayed commendable qualities, perfectly accentuating our dining experience.
However, one cannot overlook the considerable dent left in our wallets, as the bill tallied more than expected. The pricing, even by Luxembourgish standards, appears exorbitant and fails to align with the value and overall satisfaction delivered.
In conclusion, while the establishment possesses an inviting ambiance and boasts efficient service, the lackluster seafood salad, accompanied by diminutive marine delicacies, and the mishandled gilt-head bream with an ill-fitting and excessively salty vegetable accompaniment, leave much room for improvement. Despite the redeeming quality of the wine selection, the inflated pricing further detracts from the overall...
Read moreÀ l’occasion des Restodays, notre expérience dans ce restaurant réputé fut malheureusement bien en dessous de nos attentes. Le menu proposé semblait attrayant au premier abord mais a rapidement dévoilé ses faiblesses. La première entrée, deux croquettes façon bouchée à la reine, laissait présager un clin d'œil à la gastronomie locale. Pourtant, leur exécution était loin du raffinement attendu. La pâte, dense et grasse, rappelait davantage les snacks bon marché que les cuisines fines d’un établissement de ce standing. La garniture manquait cruellement de saveur et de générosité, laissant un arrière-goût décevant. Plus gênant encore, on y retrouvait de petits bouts d’os non comestibles, rendant cette entrée particulièrement désagréable. Quant au plat principal, le cabillaud « teinté en rose avec des betteraves », malgré une promesse d’originalité esthétique, s’est avéré fade et sans relief gustatif. Le poisson était certes correctement cuit, mais l’association avec la betterave semblait artificielle, donnant l'impression d'une tentative maladroite d’originalité. L'ensemble manquait cruellement d'assaisonnement et d’équilibre des saveurs. Ce repas n'était clairement pas à la hauteur de l’image raffinée que véhicule habituellement ce restaurant. Le contraste entre la réputation du lieu et la réalité de l'assiette fut frappant, rappelant davantage un modeste snack de la côte belge plutôt qu’un établissement luxembourgeois prestigieux (sauf qu'en Belgique, les frites auraient sans doute été meilleures) En somme, cette expérience culinaire décevante laisse un sentiment d’opportunité manquée, surtout dans le cadre soi-disant exigeant...
