A serious contender for Luxembourg's finest dining experience, Mathes' dining room, with stylised street-art-like murals, opens to a sun-drenched terrace overlooking its own vineyards. Intricately crafted menus might see you dining on foie gras terrine with Gewürztraminer chutney, John Dory with smoked fennel and crémant sorbet, topped off by Riesling soufflé with rhubarb jelly for dessert. Reserve several weeks ahead.
