BackLocated at 26 Rue des Bains, in the lively Ville-Haute district of Luxembourg City, Rolls & Rice Luxembourg has established itself as a favorite among lovers of healthy, flavorful, and original cuisine. This hybrid restaurant, somewhere between a modern cafeteria and a bowl restaurant, offers a culinary experience that stands out from the crowd in Luxembourg’s gastronomic scene.

Whether it’s for Sunday brunch, a quick weekday lunch, or dinner with friends, Rolls & Rice offers something for every moment of the day.
A culinary concept unique in its kind
What immediately sets Rolls & Rice Luxembourg apart is its innovative concept. The restaurant offers a menu centered around bowls (complete meals served in a bowl) and wraps, with a strong Asian influence, particularly Korean and Japanese, enriched by Mediterranean touches. Lovers of healthy cuisine will find something to their liking here, as will those looking for comforting and hearty dishes.
The establishment clearly positions itself as an upscale cafeteria where the presentation of the dishes is as meticulous as their taste. The bowls are carefully filled, the vibrant colors and textural combinations create a true invitation to a culinary journey. Several customers readily call it the “best restaurant in Luxembourg” for breakfast and brunch.
A diverse menu to suit all tastes
Rolls & Rice’s menu stands out for its breadth and its ability to satisfy a diverse clientele. Among the signature dishes that regularly appear in positive customer reviews are:
- Eggs Benedict , the true stars of brunch , are prepared with care and served to perfection.
- Crispy Chicken , perfectly crispy and universally loved
- Tender and flavorful teriyaki chicken with a perfectly balanced sauce
- The Korean bowl , combining authentic flavors and elegant presentation
- The Farmer Breakfast , a complete and nourishing breakfast to start the day off right
- The Caesar wrap , fresh and generous
- Homemade soups and Lebanese-inspired options (hummus, tabbouleh) have been available since the recent change of ownership.
Vegans and vegetarians are not forgotten, as several 100% plant-based options are available, demonstrating the establishment’s commitment to dietary inclusion. The walnut cake , often cited as a must-try, delights those with a sweet tooth, and the freshly made smoothies perfectly complement the offerings.
A full range of takeaway and delivery options
Aware of its customers’ hectic lifestyles, Rolls & Rice Luxembourg has developed a comprehensive takeaway and delivery service. Orders can be picked up on-site (curbside pickup available) or delivered directly to their homes via various platforms such as Foozo or Wolf.
This flexibility makes the restaurant a convenient choice for busy downtown workers who want to enjoy a healthy and tasty meal without sacrificing their break time. Takeaway service is generally fast, and the dishes retain their flavor even after transport, although a few customers have reported occasional disappointments, such as overly dry rice or portions deemed insufficient during some deliveries.
A warm and cozy atmosphere
Beyond the food, Rolls & Rice focuses on an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. The space, although compact, is tastefully arranged and offers a modern and clean setting, ideal for get-togethers with friends, lunches for couples, or relaxing moments alone.
The front-of-house team generally receives praise for their kindness, helpfulness, and attention to detail. Several customers mention touching little gestures, such as special attention for a birthday, which demonstrates a genuine commitment to personalized service. The staff is described as “lovely,” “attentive,” and “warm”—qualities that foster customer loyalty. However, a few drawbacks remain, with isolated complaints about an unfriendly, even impolite, waitress, as well as observations about an open kitchen that is sometimes messy, where staff members reportedly eat while preparing food.
A valued halal certification
An important point for many consumers: the establishment is halal certified, which significantly expands its potential clientele. This certification, clearly displayed and embraced, is a major asset in the Luxembourgish culinary landscape, where food diversity is a daily reality.
Drinks: a key feature not to be overlooked
The drinks menu is also worth exploring. Coffee lovers will find plenty to enjoy with both classic and original options, such as the Spiced Chai Latte , regularly cited among the best in the city, despite its slightly sweet taste. The smoothies , particularly the passion fruit smoothie, are made with fresh fruit and offer a refreshing alternative to traditional hot drinks.
A few points for improvement to point out
Like any establishment, Rolls & Rice Luxembourg is not without its critics. Some customers have pointed out areas for improvement that it is only fair to mention:
- Variations in taste quality depending on the course, particularly with certain side dishes such as hash browns, sometimes described as bitter, or pancakes served lukewarm.
- Waiting times can be longer during peak hours, especially on weekends, despite the service usually being fast.
- There have been a few negative comments regarding the attitude of some staff members, although these remain isolated incidents.
- Limited seating capacity, which can make getting a table difficult during peak hours
- Portions were sometimes deemed insufficient by some customers, particularly for the high-priced brunch.
- Occasional cleanliness incidents, such as the presence of hair in a plate, were reported by a few customers.
- Ambient noise may be disruptive due to nearby construction work.
- A minority of customers considered the price-quality ratio excessive, particularly for breakfasts.
These elements do not call into question the overall quality of the experience, but constitute areas for improvement that the team, now under new leadership, could take into account to further optimize the service.
