Here you can eat very good traditional Luxembourgish "Kniddelen" (a dish made of flour, milk and eggs; mixed, then boiled in water; then fried). Weirdly enough, Luxembourg most popular rapper works there as a chef. It is located in Pfaffental, right next to the elevator that gives you a panoramic view of the old city + Red Bridge.
