The story
At Fu Man Yuan in Esch-sur-Alzette, the kitchen draws on the traditions of Beijing and Thailand to create a menu that is both expansive and carefully composed. The restaurant – recognised by the Michelin guide – welcomes diners with a relaxed, friendly atmosphere, where fresh ingredients take centre stage.
The menu offers a journey through Asian flavours, beginning with a wide selection of dim sum and starters. Siu mai, bao zi, and crisp spring rolls sit alongside Thai-inspired options like satay skewers and spicy salads. Soups range from delicate broths with Chinese mushrooms to a hearty, piquant version with chicken and wood ear fungus.
Among the suggestions, the canard au fromage – duck baked with emmental – shows a playful European touch, while the canard laqué à la sauce thaïlandaise brings together crispy duck with chilli, sesame, and a tangy soya dressing. Seafood is well represented: scallops with garlic, scampi grilled with parsley, and a crispy pangasius fillet are standouts. The Thai section includes classics such as green curry and stir-fried dishes with basil and coconut milk.
Vegetarian options are not overlooked, with tofu au poivre et sel and a mix of seasonal vegetables prepared simply. Noodles and fried rice, including a pineapple fried rice, round out the meal.
The dining room is bright and unpretentious, matching the ethos of the kitchen: straightforward, flavourful cooking without unnecessary fuss. Whether you come for a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner, Fu Man Yuan delivers a consistent, satisfying experience that earned its place in the Michelin guide.
