Assemblies
BackLocated at 1 Rue de la Gare in Junglinster, in the heart of Luxembourg, Assemblages is not just a restaurant or a typical wine bar. It’s a café and takeaway with a boutique feel, combined with a genuine wine cellar designed for the curious and discerning connoisseurs. Behind this unassuming address lies one of the region’s most unique establishments, driven by the passion of Thibaut and Danie, two owners who have made conviviality their hallmark.
From the outside, the place might seem unassuming, as several regulars point out: a small, unassuming bistro. But once you step inside, the experience changes dramatically. The interior, tastefully decorated and welcoming, even includes a piano, contributing to its uniquely cozy atmosphere. People come to Assemblages as much to share a moment as to discover rare and carefully selected products.
A carefully curated selection of natural wines and craft beers
The drinks menu is the heart and soul of the establishment. Thibaut, a passionate sommelier, has chosen to showcase natural wines, often sourced from small producers, far removed from industrial distribution channels. The menu regularly features exclusive, off-the-beaten-path selections, which can be enjoyed by the glass on-site or taken home. The wines change according to availability, encouraging frequent returns to discover new gems.
For those who aren’t wine enthusiasts, the establishment also offers a fine selection of craft beers. Many customers praise the variety and quality of the selection, some of which come from local microbreweries. This dual focus – wine and beer – makes Assemblages a hybrid venue, capable of satisfying even the most diverse palates.
A small, high-quality restaurant
Alongside drinks, Assemblages offers a selection of light fare in the form of platters, snacks, and savory treats. Nothing gourmet, but the intention is clear: to perfectly complement the wines and beers on offer. Customers who have tried this option generally leave satisfied, highlighting the synergy between the food and drinks suggested.
This takeaway option also allows customers to enjoy the wine cellar at home, ideal for extending the experience after their visit. Thibaut even takes the time to advise his customers on food and wine pairings, or on bottles to give as gifts.
A personalized and passionate service
What consistently comes up in customer feedback is the quality of the service. Thibaut is described as passionate, extremely knowledgeable, and someone who takes the time to listen before offering advice. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned enthusiast, he’ll guide your choice with expertise. It’s this personalized approach that transforms a tasting into a genuine moment of exchange and sharing.
Danie, his partner, is also praised for her welcoming nature. The duo works wonderfully together and helps to build loyalty among a diverse clientele, ranging from Junglinster residents to visitors passing through Luxembourg, all seeking an authentic experience.
Opening hours, accessibility and services
Assemblages is open from Thursday to Saturday, from 3 pm to 10 pm, just three days a week. This carefully chosen schedule allows them to maintain the quality of their offerings and the attention they give to each customer. The restaurant is closed the other days of the week (Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday).
The entrance is accessible to people with reduced mobility, which is rare enough to be worth mentioning. The establishment also offers takeaway and delivery, thus expanding the possibilities for enjoying the wine cellar.

Points to be aware of
Despite its largely positive reputation, it’s worth noting a point raised by a dissatisfied customer. During a holiday period, the bar was closed without this information being updated on Google or the official website, resulting in an unnecessary trip for a visitor who had arrived by public transport. Thibaut responded to this comment transparently, explaining that he wasn’t yet fully proficient with all digital communication tools and that the information had only been shared via Instagram. He invited the customer to return and discover his selection.
To avoid any unpleasant surprises, it’s recommended to check opening hours and whether the venue is open via social media or by phone before heading out, especially during holiday periods. This precaution allows you to fully enjoy the experience without any frustration.
