Bistrot Presse

Overall, we had a really good dining experience in Luxembourg. This is a classic European comfort-food restaurant with generous portions and rich flavors. The smoked pork neck with pan-fried potatoes was hearty and savory, and the thick, slightly sweet and peppery sauce paired perfectly with the potatoes (and would be great with bread too). The creamy white-sauce dish was also a pleasant surprise — smooth but not heavy, with chicken and mushrooms, topped with puff pastry for extra texture. The gnocchi with creamy bacon/ham sauce was soft and flavorful, perfect for anyone who enjoys creamy dishes. The side salad was fresh and refreshing, balancing out the heavier mains nicely. We also really enjoyed the Bouneschlupp (green bean soup) — perfectly stewed, warm and comforting, and exactly what we needed on a cold day. Overall, simple and authentic local-style food; it would be even more perfect if the prices were slightly lower.

We had an excellent lunch there. The food and drinks were delicious and the waitress was friendly and efficient. Probably one of the best services in European restaurants we received to date. The menu had a good selection of Luxembourg meals and local wines and beers. Highly recommend.

I visited the store on Thursday morning at around 1000. I was their first customer that day so it was very quiet, and it started to fill up as it approached 1100. I order menu 2 from their menu of the day (€23) and hot tea (€4.5). Menu 2 included 2 Luxemburg dishes that I wanted to try, which were bouneschlupp (Green bean spup) and kniddelen met speck (Dumplings with bacon). Both dishes were in generous portion and tasted very good. My favorite would be thr kniddelen met speck, the white sauce coated the dumpling with the right viscosity, and the bacon was properly cooked and was slightly crispy and not fatty at all. The presentation may looked ordinary, but don't judge a book by its cover. This Luxemburg dish tasted smooth, creamy, and filling. I would definitely prioritize visiting this restaurant again the next time I visit Luxemburg.

📍 Bistrot de la Presse, Luxembourg Walked by this charming Parisian-style bistrot right at Place d’Armes 🏛️—prime location, buzzing atmosphere, and very lunch-time energy 🥐☕. Sadly, our experience ended before it even began 😅 Despite arriving during lunch, we were politely but firmly shown the door 🚪❌ due to having no reservation. No option to wait, no “maybe later,” just a swift au revoir 👋. A bit disappointing, especially when you’re hungry and hopeful 😩🍽️ That said, we do get it — the place was absolutely packed 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♀️🧍, clearly popular for a reason! So lesson learned: book ahead or risk heartbreak 💔📖 Still looks like a lively spot with great vibes — just don’t wing it at lunchtime 😉✨

Wonderful local food right in the middle of all the tourist attractions. The place can be busy during peak dinner times, so best to book online. We had the pork neck, bouneschlupp soup and the potato gallette. They were all really good. If you want to try local food in Luxembourg, you can't go wrong with this place.

A small bistro right in fron of the duke's castle. It was recommended to us by our city guide and we were not disappointed. They have traditional dishes as well as wine from luxembourg and local beers. We shared a trafiotional pork neck with baked potatos and beans. It was extremely delicious. The waitress was very friendly and nice. Inside you can see the pictures of the duke and the dutchess as well as other important people. We recommend

I would definitely recommend this place if you want to try traditional Luxembourg food. I ordered the Kniddelen mat Speck which is Luxembourg flour dumplings with a white cream sauce and bacon. My friend ordered the vegetarian version, the Vegetaresch Kniddelen, which comes with a tomato sauce. We tried each other’s dishes and both were really good. I also ordered a Luxembourg Riesling and would recommend it if you want to try local wine and enjoy sweet white wines. The decor was very warm and welcoming and the staff was friendly. Overall, a great experience.

Bistrot Presse is a true Luxembourgish gem, serving generous portions of local specialties in a cozy and traditional atmosphere. We ordered the Bouneschlupp, a comforting green bean soup with bacon and smoked sausage — rich, hearty, and perfect to start the meal. The Cordon Bleu was crispy on the outside, filled with ham and cheese, and topped with a creamy mushroom sauce, accompanied by fresh vegetables. The Steak de Cheval came with fries and a flavorful red wine sauce, tender and very tasty. To finish, the Crème Brûlée was classic, creamy and with a perfectly caramelized top. The portions are big, the flavors authentic, and everything felt homemade with care. Service was friendly and efficient, and although the prices are a bit on the higher side, the quality and the overall experience made it absolutely worth it. If you want to taste real Luxembourgish cuisine in a warm, welcoming setting, Bistrot Presse is a place I’d definitely recommend.
