THE GLASSWORKS
The Michelin-starred restaurant in the Place d'Armes hotel is masterfully run by Fabrice Salvador from Toulouse, who infuses his cuisine with the flavour of his many travels. After learning the ropes with the greats - Troisgros in particular - then a stint in the American West and Moscow, he settled in the Grand Duchy to bring his subtly spiced flavours to an idyllic setting. The Nature Gourmande menu is ideal for business lunches: three courses served in one hour, watch in hand.
