Restaurant Lux Rotterdam (by FotoosvanRobin)

Stylish and yet bohemian in style and setting, creative, season based Italian cuisine with a Sicilian twist, a chef, who has been there since the opening in 1987 and adds new dishes all the time, an attentive staff with a youthful radiating smile are the key ingredients of Lux solid reputation. Book ahead or come in late and await your turn.

A menu with limited quantity daily changing specials is your starting pojnt for a tempting choice. As the season is the main guide for what appears on your table, you can be guaranteed of variety, freshness and inventiveness. Bread – 2 types and breadsticks – and water appear on your white paper clothed table while you deliberate what to pick: start with the appetizers -antipasti-. Make up your own mix and share with your dinner partners. Then follow through with a pasta or the daily changing risotto and it is the time for the main course, while you select your side orders separately. Let at least one order the plump and crispy potato fries or rather wedges – they may not be particularly Sicilian, but they are the best.

The all Italian winelist covers most regions, is nicely selected for a reasonable price.

Try the granita for dessert or the ice creams or the cakes and you will certainly understand why this is one my favorites. Then relax or go back to the bar for espresso and your fancy of the grappas and digestifs and take a peek from there in the downstairs kitchen to watch the care and attention of a happy team.
