Gault&Millau Luxembourg 2025: the best chefs, restaurants and bars
The Gault&Millau gastronomic guide unveils the year's winners in its latest "Gault&Millau Luxembourg 2025" edition. The selection showcases the country's best restaurants and brasseries, as well as H!P locations, unmissable bars and the crème de la crème of Luxembourg's chocolatiers. The guide also highlights local produce and the country's finest wines. Chef François Jagut, from the restaurant Les Roses, awarded the title of "Chef of the Year 2025".
Les Roses: contemporary seasonal cuisine
The chef François Jagut began working at the Les Roses restaurant at the Casino 2000 in Mondorf-les-Bains eighteen years ago. He started as a chef de partie and was promoted to sous-chef a few years later. Then, in 2023, he became head chef of the restaurant and continued to take his cuisine to new culinary heights: "Chef François Jagut never ceases to amaze us with the evolution of his cuisine", says the Gault&Millau guide, referring to his work at Les Roses restaurant.
His work has just been rewarded with the title of "Chef of the Year 2025". The jury drew attention to "a chef who is curious and observant by nature, who likes to challenge himself, as well as the evolution of his cuisine towards more modernity and lightness". He also gained a mark of 15.5/20 thus sealing the restaurant's third toque.
