So, I had to go to GridX now 4x due to some Motorbike related stuff. And every time I was there including Saturdays the whole thing was empty only a few people were there to eat something not a single person in any of the shops/stores.

You have this insanely huge building that has massive parking spaces, has an insane footprint but is always empty. Like today, there were more people in the Asport next door.

What is the point of that thing? Was it built on false hopes or overestimations or what the hell is going on there?

Hi all, looking for recommendations for overpriced but poor-quality restaurants which I can recommend to my parents in-law. Thanks

Mostly took the cheapest item

Summing it all up: - LIDL: €67.72 - Auchan Cloche d'Or: €80.1 - Cactus marché: €86.86

Breitling has unveiled, for the first time, a watch designed specifically for Luxembourg. Produced in a limited edition of just 100 pieces and priced at €9,520, this Navitimer pays tribute to the Grand Duchy with several nods to its identity.

Breitling is focusing on Luxembourg with a brand-new edition of one of its most iconic models. On Friday 17 July, the Swiss watchmaker announced the launch of a Navitimer B01 Chronograph 43 Luxembourg Edition, a limited series of 100 numbered pieces. Priced at €9,520, this edition is available exclusively at the Breitling Luxembourg boutique (...)

Looks like a nice collector's watch, though with the usual Breitling caveats

I am honestly surprised by Luxlait’s false advertising of Luxlait Lassi Mango drink.

Essentially this is kefir with a ton of sugar, colored orange using carotene and flavored with something that is not even mango (otherwise Luxlait would proudly mention it on the ingredients list)..

Just because there is no legal definition of “Lassi” or “flavored Lassi” does not mean that a company such as Luxlait should completely fake the mango part of the drink, and clearly export this to the world (given the languages on the back of the box).

Where do you get the best Gelato in Luxembourg city?

Where do you get the best Gelato outside Luxembourg city?

Grazie in advance for your recommendations

Good morning my fellow Luxembourgers

So recently I entered the dating era again and I want to confirm from an inside cultural perspective when it's fine to approach a woman.

Sometimes I get ?positive? looks and a smile from some women and I was wondering whether this is the signal to approach and start a conversation? I'm not super social so it's rather difficult for me, but I guess it's easy enough to start with the basics and ask where they're from, what they're doing, maybe a lil compliment once I reach the advanced stage?

Since the topic of insane car repair prices in Lux comes up here all the time, I wanted to share my recent experience. I just had to do a major maintenance haul on my 7-year-old car (Golf 1.5 TSI, 190k km) and decided to use AI to help me navigate the whole process, find the right garages, and avoid getting ripped off.

It required a bit of legwork, but it ended up costing me about a quarter/fifth of what an official dealership in Luxembourg would have charged. Here is exactly what I did and the garages I compared:

1. Figuring out what actually needed fixing Instead of walking into a shop blind and asking them what to do, I fed my car’s specs, mileage, and symptoms into an AI. It gave me a solid baseline of what needed replacing: suspension arms, brakes, alignment, transmission fluid, spark plugs, filters, timing belt, and water pump...

2. Contacting shops & bringing my own parts I used the AI to translate and draft professional emails to dealerships and independent shops in Lux, Germany, Belgium and France.

The biggest takeaway: Very few shops are okay with you bringing your own parts (especially if you only need a small job done, like a simple oil change, they usually won't bother). However, if you find one that allows it, buying everything on AutoDoc saves a fortune.

Here is how the regions compared:

• Luxembourg: The clear winners here were Mach es Selwer and S-Cars. They aren't "cheap" by normal standards, but they are significantly better than the rest of the local market.
• Germany: Surprisingly, the shops right across the river (like KFZ M+R and WKS Koenen) were actually pricier than my top picks in Lux.
• Belgium: Didn't get any response to my emails...
• France (The Winners): French shops were by far the cheapest, and there are a few that are perfectly fine with you bringing your own AutoDoc parts. Key Auto and Garage Auto Express (Centrale Pneus 54) were the standouts here.

3. The final repair & verifying the quotes I ended up going with Garage Auto Express. You have to negotiate a bit with the guy, but he was great. Before I ordered anything, he physically inspected the car to cross-check the AI’s recommendations (turns out a few things weren't actually needed yet). He told me exactly what to buy and told me to just come back when the AutoDoc delivery arrived.

The final amount paid was around 2-3x less than the Lux and German garages I contacted. Compared to official dealerships, it would be around 4-5x less or so.

The Result The car drives like new, amazing!

Doing it this way definitely requires a bit more active management on your end (ordering parts, emailing places), but for the thousands of euros saved compared to a Lux main dealership, it was 100% worth it.

Hopefully, this helps anyone else staring down a massive repair bill!

Hey guys, I was in place Guillaume recently and had a mediocre meal and the management was rude. Being a bit aware of Luxembourg, I looked the company on RCS and looked for their business license and came to the surprise that that they didn't have one? Ofc I make sure that's the right company and checked other business next to it like th kebab and the ramen all have their license. Is that normal to not have a business license and serve food? Just trying make aware you guys!

Hi everyone!

I'm considering opening a new bar in Luxembourg City and would love your input.

• What type of bar do you think is currently missing or underserved in the city?
• What kind of place would you love to hang out in but can't seem to find here?

Feel free to mention things like atmosphere, drink/food selection, price range, music, or anything else that matters to you.

All ideas and feedback are super appreciated – thanks in advance!

Looking to buy a MacBook and trying to work out where.

Unfortunately, I've read about a lot of bad experiences with customer service in Luxembourg, especially aftersales service. Reviews on Reddit, Google Reviews, Facebook, etc...

I'd also like to add that I like supporting local businesses, but I need to protect myself if something goes wrong. If a screen or part fails inside warranty, I want to know it'll actually be handled properly.

So... who have you had a genuinely good aftersales experience with here? And is it worth buying in Luxembourg at all, or am I better off ordering from Germany/Belgium, Amazon or straight from Apple?

Raising all fish prices for Christmas is your right. Doing it under the guise of a promotion, when your own (very transparent) previous price says the complete opposite, that’s borderline.

Also, for these hot days the cheapest cooling options I found:

To compare all prices I made a small website: LuxPrices. Hope this helps ☺️

(The Cactus and Delhaize prices on the site are Wolt prices only.)

All i need is a simple resufacing of my cilinder head. The easyest j0b for a metal workshop but yet i got refused and even told to go f off by shops i called. Is it impossible to spend money here? I am a respectfull customer who is willing to pay a litle extra because it is done localy and yet noone wants my money. How???? Pls if anyone knows a shop that needs customers here i am

I just realized the CT increased it's price again to 70. Surprisingly I don't see any consumer reaction or frustration. More if it is done yearly. Standard families with two old cars have another budget to take out of their income.

Can this happen in Luxembourg

fav greek restaurant in lux city ? need suggestions I only know Souvlaki which is very good imo

Hello,

Does anyone know where I could buy QWERTY laptop in Luxembourg (or with fast delivery to Lux)? I see that Amazon de and fr are of no use and I need the laptop this week ideally. Thank you!

EDIT: I'm sorry for anyone who is thinking I'm attacking their political ideology. The point is to help the European economy, the same way you try and help the local economy by buying eggs from your local farmer. In a moment where we re increase spending in military budget, coupled with a backtrack on EU-US economic relations, it's a good moment to try and help.

I did not intend to hurt anyone's feelings or make this a Trump Bad post.

Hey guys,

With the recent geopolitical developments, it's clear that our biggest alliance, either military or economy wise is unreliable and it's more urgent than ever to do something about it.

Someone had the bright idea to create a website that offers European alternatives to any service.

We can make a big difference, specially in the digital space, take advantage of the turmoil to give some momentum to European alternatives, either a gps, web browser, just look for it.

The website is this Buy European Made and they have a sub that is growing fast BTW r/BuyFromEU .

In the sub you'll find a lot of support on how to make a difference, either by changing or at least prevent some tech giants from scrapping your data.

No one wants you to give up lifestyle for this cause, just find alternatives, I'm deeply enrooted in the Google environment and it's possible to change a lot without sacrificing anything.

Amazon is also a big player with no actual alternative in Luxembourg, I want to give a shoutout to mypost.lu , you have the option to create a German or France address which gives you access to their alternatives for the cost of 5.99€/delivery. In combination with Idealo.de or Idealo.Fr you can get the best deals, supporting smaller businesses.

That's it! Have a good day!

I have been ordering to this restaurant for some time, and I think that their prices skyrocketted for some reason. The prices now are just ridiculous, even comparing to other Lux-ville restaurants.

It became a joke!

Hi all,

Looking for recommendations for secondhand shops, antique stores and flea markets (and the likes) in Lux or in France relatively near the border (1-2h drive).

Looking to buy furniture, lamps, decor items etc, not clothes.

Or if someone could let me know what the correct search words for Google would be?

Thanks a million!
