Pavillon Madeleine is another widely unknown gastro bistro in Luxembourg.. at least so I think because it is not centered, nor in walking distance from where We live…. But I recommend it.

| Pavillon Madeleine – Gastro Bistro under the wings of Lea Linster |
We have been a few times last year and it is still in our books due to several good qualities.
Food is simple, good ingredients, comfort food. Many classics… a little reinvented maybe – a friendly wine card, service and an excellent terrace.
It is a place I want to go with friends on a sunny weekend… dine, laugh and have an extra glass while their kids enjoy the playground.
There was no menu, so today we take a 2 + maybe, starting with starter and main
First the ambiance.. middle of ?
 |
| Horses, donkeys and lamb next door |
 |
| Everything in rust |
 |
| I like the rusted metal… who was the architect? |
 |
| Not a busy day – but free view from the restaurant into the kitchen… |
 |
| Princess Anne |
 |
| A nice touch |
 |
| A table setting… got a sharp and lovely left handed photo 🙂 |
 |
| Aperitif.. Muscadet 2011 for Anne and local Pinot Gris, Thill for Me |
 |
| Comfort food and reasonable pricing. |
 |
| Amuse – Egg on bread.. so so |
 |
| 2 wines 1 color – nice |
 |
| 2011 Chateau La Tour Sainte Anne – Provence RosĂ© |
 |
| Asparagus and mousse line sauce, very nice but not photogenic |
 |
| Tatar of Icelandic salmon with watercress and beetroot – lovely in both taste and presentation |
 |
Parmentier au confit de canard (Pie of duck confit?)
Really delicious and perfectly cooked… I would have added some sour to cut the fat and add color on the plate |
 |
Cod with Szechuan pepper, ginger and vegetables of the season
Cod was lovely.. vegetables somewhat average. |
 |
| Cafe Glacé |
 |
| Lemon Sorbet |

I recommend the place, a lovely outing in Luxembourg, scores high as a bistro, brasserie in many ways. a few things where not up to standard this Saturday
- Bread had been cut too early… still OK, but not as good as out of the oven of last visit
- Although I know it is simple food, I do like a LITTLE more for the eye…
Lessons Learned
- Nice setting
- Good food
- Lea Linster’s Madeleine cake’s are really good.
- Do not park in front of a garage.. even though the commune marks it as parking, the house owner can disagree, he called me as he saw the for sale sign in the car
