Wow. The decor in this restaurant is cozy and warm. As soon as you walk in, the staff make you feel at ease, helping you settle in to the large, comfortable leather chairs. Menus are available in french as well as english, though the staff warned us of some funny translations on the english menu. We started with champagne and... More

Dinning doesn't get much better than this. Firstly, the service is superbly friendly. You are made to feel at ease as you slide into the elegant surroundings. The chairs, red leather upholstered, are beautifully designed and comfortable. The wood paneled walls, and flower arrangements create a meditative ambiance. My girlfriend and I both selected the menu Gourmand at 130 euros.... More

I have been to Clairefontaine many times, and they don't stop to surprise me. This time we went for our 10th wedding anniversary and they made it a magical evening. It is asparagus season and it was very well integrated into some of the dishes. Especially the starter with the salmon was 3 star level. To many people this restaurant... More

I don't often write reviews on restaurants preferring to do hotels, but this was quite an experience. There were six of us and everything from the ambiance, food, wines and service was exemplary. We all had the set menu with wines and whilst pricey, this was one of the best dining experiences I've ever had (would be a good choice... More

We chose the four course menu with wine pairing & it was excellent. The starter was a very clever, artful and delicious combination of asparagus, scampi and salmon, my only complaint is that it, as with the following courses, were very generous portions! Having said that, I still managed to eat all of my lovely dessert of cherries three ways...Pricey... More

Expensive and may not be worth it but the food and service are very good. However, but we won't go back. They more or less pushed us to have dessert -- a specialty -- and said we could share one dessert. However, they charged us for 1.5 desserts and said it was because they needed to create a larger one... More

It's going to be hard to find enough superlatives to describe this restaurant. From the moment the door was opened for us, through the attentive yet discreet service throughout the meal the staff were flawless. I cannot praise them highly enough. As for the food....... just incredible. Starters exquisite and generous portions and the main will live with me for... More

My husband and I went for dinner at clairefontaine and were very happy with the service and food. Being gluten intolerant, I am not an easy client to have but the team at clairefontaine adapted the menu gourmand to meet my dietary requirements with very little notice and with no hint of inconvenience. All dishes were beautifully presented and we... More

We visited this restaurant for a birthday celebration to Luxembourg city in early March 2013. We ate al la carte rather than have the multi-course 'gourmet' set menu. Helpfully we were offered the English/German translated menu and the staff apologised, in advance, for any poor translations. Of course, the food did not sound as appetising from the translation and we... More

I haven't been to this restaurant for twenty years, but was invited to dine by a business associate. We had a private room and around twenty of us were served delicious canapes and champagne before sitting down to an extravaganza of wonderful food. If you like foie gras, this is THE place to come - it was divine. I am... More
