Barrels, glacis Luxembourg - good simple and fast lunch!

Hi everyone,

Today, I went back to the Barrels, the "wine restaurant" next to the Hitch in glacis.

The atmosphere is quite intimate with high wood tables, low lights and not a terrific loud music!

The restaurant is quite small but this is perfect as i don't like too crowded places and I prefer to not eat with neighbors of other tables! because yes! the tables are close but not too close so that you can keep a bit of intimacy during your lunch!

For the menu, i'm always quite happy when i've a lunch for a price below 20 EUR! and in Luxembourg it is quite a challenge! Even in the Exki, it can amount for more than that! So you have suggestions for 12, 50 EUR and also other lunch stuffs on another page menu. The food suggestion is appropriate for a lunch and this type of places: plates of cheeses, hams, bruschettas, tapas and so on.
So simple plates, without being pretentious.

I went for the "croque monsieur" with truffles! This consisted of a simple croque monsieur with a béchamel and truffles, only what i'm looking for, no superficial adds! The smell of the truffles was really present and I really appreciated this.

However, i was a bit disappointed by the sides, only few rocket leaves, looking very alone... But to be honest, it was quite sufficient for my small stomach and for a lunch (no need to sleep at work because of digestion)!

Finally, an important thing for work lunch, the service was really fast, maybe because of the small menu! For the waitress, not the best service but efficient, and that's sufficient :)

At the end, I would really recommend this comfortable and quiet place for a lunch but also for the afterwork (good menu for tapas and wines!).

Tastefully,
Claire
