The gluten-free restaurant Eden Rose in Kayl was awarded its first Michelin star on Monday.

La Distillerie in Bourglinster, Léa Linster in Frisange, Fani in Roeser, and Guillou Campagne in Schouweiler all kept their one-star rating, same as Luxembourg City restaurants Mosconi, Ryodo, and La Villa de Camille et Julien.
