How this score works

The score estimates how strongly this place's review record matches known manipulation patterns, from 0 (no signs) to 100. Verdicts: Clean below 40, Suspicious from 40, Likely Manipulated from 70; Review Drive when the flags are mostly staff asking customers for named reviews. It rises with the share of reviews flagged and how suspicious each one is.

Burst
— an abnormal spike of five-star reviews in a single day compared to the place's usual pace.
Low activity account
— the reviewer has almost no other reviews, photos, or Local Guide history; throwaway accounts look like this.
Duplicate text
— the wording is nearly identical to another review of the same place.

Verdicts are statistical estimates based on public review patterns, not accusations. Full methodology, signal definitions and known limits →

We had a wonderful dining experience! The food was outstanding, and the lemon and sage risotto I tried was one of the best I’ve ever had—perfectly cooked, creamy, and full of flavor. The service was impeccable from start to finish. A specia...

The food is very good here. We tried only the vegetarian options and they were all nice. They were even flexible to do a vegetarian version of the potatoes that are usually roasted in duck fat. I recommend especially the cucumber salad, th...

Having worked in a Michelin-starred restaurant myself, I can honestly say the food here was absolutely delicious and beautifully prepared. The service was just as impressive — my waiter, Anastosio, was incredibly friendly, attentive, and re...

Atmosphere and Location

The restaurant's courtyard terrace provides a quiet, cozy, and relaxing oasis away from the crowded city streets.

We had dinner on a weekend evening, outside because the weather was excellent. This place was like an oasis in the city, while the other streets of the city centre were crowded. While all tables were occupied, service was very correct and...

Loved this place! The food was incredible, the atmosphere was super relaxed, and the beautiful quiet courtyard in the back makes it feel like a little hidden gem in Luxembourg. A huge shoutout to Anastasio, who was honestly one of the frie...

The best and special restaurant in Lux. Just to start. 1. The music it’s amazing. 2. The place is a lovely secret courtyard. 3. The orange wine delicious! 4. Great options for non alcoholic drinks too. 5. The food really unique and deliciou...

Portion Sizes and Value

Some reviewers report that the dishes are small, lack complimentary sides, and feel overpriced for the quantities provided.

The price-to-quantity ratio is laughable: the dishes are the size of an appetizer and are served without any sides. And sides aren't even offered. Oh, wait, maybe four pieces of bread for €4. You could say we left feeling very unsatisfied...

2★ · 2026-06-06

Far too expensive for the portion size. The steak tartare must be barely 100 grams, and there are no sides (no fries, no salad, nothing). Yet the price is the same as a proper meal in a restaurant. Bread is extra (€4 for 3 slices, no less)....

Limited menu... with original and excellent dishes. The service is very friendly... but don't be in too much of a hurry.

5★ · 2026-06-28

Service happened to be slow and confused but charming and, in the end, apologetic, but the food!—like nothing you usually see in theses parts: modern and impeccably executed and presented. Compressed cucumber and melon salad, trout sashimi...

If you want to dine here you may die of old age or starvation. Quick enough to bring us a couple of beers then nothing, must have waited quarter hour before staff bothered to take our order after serving someone that came in after us. Would...

A wonderful place in a patio just on the edge of the center. Peace and a warm welcome can be expected here. Anastasio has a nice chat ready and knows what drink will go well with your mood. The pork chops prepared by Roberto the Chef, with oven baked potato chips and cucumber-melon-ginger were super...
