Mr. Mai
A stone’s throw from the central station, Mr. Mai is a real hidden treasure that’s worth a visit. This small, discreetly charming establishment offers a selection of traditional Vietnamese dishes, prepared to order using fresh, quality ingredients.
Scented pho, generous bò bún and crispy egg rolls are among the must-tries on the menu. Around 50% of the dishes are vegetarian, with seitan-based alternatives and vegetarian broths to suit all dietary preferences.
The friendly atmosphere and warm welcome from the staff add to the enjoyment of the dining experience offered by Mr. Mai. The dishes are consistently good, the service friendly and the prices affordable, making it an ideal address for a quick lunch or casual dinner.
The bò bún is undoubtedly the restaurant’s most popular speciality, often recognised as the best bò bún in Luxembourg. Generously topped with rice vermicelli, marinated beef, fresh vegetables and crispy egg rolls, it leaves no one indifferent. The offer is completed by Vietnamese salads, tasty grills, fresh spring rolls and equally delicious bánh mì.
Tiny plus: each dish can be customised!
