THE CAFÉ

Art as recipe

The Mudam Café, arranged by the French designers Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec, is the restaurant of the Musée d’Art Moderne Grand-Duc Jean by famous architect Ieoh Ming Pei. The space and the menu were conceived as an integral part of the museum visit, extending the multiple experiences to which visitors are invited to avail themselves during their discovery of the exhibitions in one of the country’s most beautiful pieces of architecture. A meal or snack in the Mudam Café may equally be an end in itself for holders of a Mudami Card providing free entry to Mudam.

From noon to 3pm, the Mudam Café offers tasty cuisine composed of regional products and local specialities. Whether starters, main dishes or desserts, the art of eating well is tasted on a daily basis thanks to the freshness of the products allied with the marriage of flavours and an original presentation. The “à la carte” menu is varied, the suggestions being renewed every day, while a different Luxembourg speciality is offered every month.

Mudam Café also provides (Wednesday to Friday from 3pm to 7pm and Mondays and Saturdays from 3pm to 5pm) ‘fast food’ including home-made soups, quiches, snacks and desserts. The drinks menu is extensive and caters to all tastes: a variety of teas, coffees, organic fruit juices and lemonade, cocktails, wines from the Moselle (and the rest of the world) and a rich selection of Luxembourg beers at reasonable prices. The Mudam Café is also renowned for its brunches on Saturdays and Sundays from 11am to 3pm.

During its opening hours, the café is also able to cater for groups and to compose menus to order, arranged by its manager Pascal Aubert (t +352 45 37 85 955).

Every Wednesday evening, from 6pm to 8.30pm, Mudam Café hosts Wednesdays at Mudam, featuring musical playlists and live concerts which are free to the public.

Open during summer weekends

In summer, the Mudam Café also opens an external patio service for the pleasure of museum visitors and walkers in the park. Fresh drinks and snacks are on offer on sunny weekends in the exceptional installation by Andrea Blum in the museum forecourt. A choice of custom-made sandwiches, green salads and potato salads as well as an assortment of muffins will pleasingly satisfy any peckishness while larger appetites can always fall back on the menu on offer inside.

At the feet of the magnificent building by Ieoh Ming Pei, the Mudam Summer Café is a great way of beginning or ending (or both) a visit to Mudam on fine days. It extends the experience, but is also available to walkers wandering in the serene environment of the Trois Glands Park or amongst the prestigious edifices on Place de l’Europe.
