LA MEDINA: GASTRONOMIC SUPERHEROES

  • Restaurant Name: LA MEDINA

    I love these folks, I really do. They could not have made me feel more welcome, valued and looked after me. That was just the service. The food? Magnifique! La Medina is 1 of 5 different themed restaurants created by 2 geniuses named Dominica Colaianni and Olivier Felmann. Many people come by to laugh at some of the strange English translations on their outside menu board, but don’t stay to savour the wonderfully prepared food which makes this one of the best restaurants in Europe.

    So why Superheroes? I arrived at the restaurant quite late and in very casual clothes and boots. The restaurant next door refused to serve me. The waiter here at La Medina never blinked and greeted me like an old friend. Although cold outside, they agreed to seat me outside and my table was made up like I was royalty in a flash (pictured). My food was brought to me and was not only artful; it tasted out of this world and filled me up as well. The beer was cold and the red wine delicious.

    If you only eat in one restaurant in Luxembourg, dine here.

    The inside (warmer) is also beautifully decorated and designed.

    Well done La Medina folks!

    Open 12pm-2pm and 7pm-11pm Monday - Saturday. Their hours and days do sometimes change.


    Favorite Dish: I had the ‘La dégustation de brick terre et mer’ starter which has a weird translation of ‘Mixed off meat and sea food bricks’ on their menu. Sound bad, tastes heavenly. For the main meal I had the ‘Mixed grill du jour’ with some beer and house red wine. It was so good I nearly passed out

    Breedewee is a restaurant listed in many guide books, websites and is highly recommended. It is also now out of business and shut forever. Sorry. It’s really a shame as well. It had a beautiful view from its terrace of the lower half of the historical part of the city. Breedewee had a reputation for serving delicious food at good prices while still maintaining large portions. In Luxembourg that is a crime of course. You will now have to settle for less food and less money after your meal.

    In my educated and informed opinion, this has to be this restaurant has the ruddest staff in Europe. They were absolutely rude, angry and aggressive with me on more than one occasion. I didn’t even eat here and I highly recommend you not eat here either. I tried to gat a table on their empty terrace one night and they looked at me like I was a piece of rubbish. After giving me a dirty look (2 of them together) they told me after a long apuse that all the tables were reserved. I went next door to the absolutely wonderful LA MEDINA and was greeted like royalty. Over the next hour and a half I noticed no one sat at the ‘reserved’ tables. Just look at the first picture. Do you see anyone sitting at any tables? Lying bastards. The next day I went inside the building that houses this restaurant to use the toilets. A waiter CHASED me and shouted at me all the way in. I had to literally shut and lock the door to get away from him. When I came out he absolutelt unleashed a torrent of abuse at me. The though that I might be someone wanting to eat here obviously never occurred to him.
