Le Sud, In Luxembourg since 2008, this is my 3rd and overdue visit to what
Tripadvisor currently lists as 3rd of 495 in the city.
We have good friends visiting from Denmark and I want to be sure that they get the experience again that you can eat really well in Luxembourg without breaking the bank.
Considering most of the Michelin Bib’s and that we went to
Cote Cour in Bourglinster last year. The choice today, November 2nd falls upon Le Sud. Let’s have a look at our afternoon:
 |
You know when you have arrived |
 |
Roses, salt and pepper on the table |
 |
We start with a very decent Cuvee Privilege from Domain Kox, Luxembourg |
 |
Bread wise there’s a choice of classic or cereal |
 |
Studying the menu where today the only choice is between Turbot or slow cooked Iberian Pig |
 |
Amuse 1: is roasted bread with good olive oil, black truffle and salt |
 |
Amuse 2: (Lactose free vesion) – Scallops, pine nuts, olive and oil |
 |
Amuse 2: (std.)- Cappucino of porcini with small scallops and truffle |
 |
Pumpkin soup with Pata Negra, crusty fois gras and smoked milk cream |
 |
delicious classic egg and truffle for me |
 |
2013 Bandol, Domaine Tempier |
 |
Turbot poached in boullion of herbs, Vegetables glaced in safranised butter |
 |
Lactose friendly version with a beautiful and tasty ratatouille |
 |
The princess and her humble servant |
 |
Cheese table |
 |
Classic condiments |
 |
Quite decent 2012 Morgon |
 |
2 goats, a cow and blue sheep |
 |
Cake Moelleux with a core of creme Brulee and fruits |
 |
Sorbet and fruits forme |
 |
It’s a beautiful room, classic like the food |
 |
For the coffee |
 |
Also in lactose free version |
A lovely sunday lunch, being picky, the turbot could have done with 60sec’s less on the heat. but all in all, it beat my expectations and considering the menu was 49€ for the food i can easily recommend visit to Le Sud.
Service was a little old school in style, that’s their choice and positivly attentive and near flawless execution.
I believe my lactose free menu was even better than the standard this day. Lovely egg’s, truffle and the beautiful fruit and sorbet dessert were both lighter than the alternative and outstanding.
Lessons Learned
I absolutely need to go back there in the near future!
