Well, Luxorino isn’t exactly brand new in town — about a year ago, the “Latino Street Food” joint on Avenue de la Liberté opened its doors to everyone looking for a hearty snack. And so far, it has convinced: The rumor is spreading that this place has some of the best sandwiches in the city. We put that to the test!
Luxorino scores points with a straightforward take-away vibe that still offers a few cozy seating options in case you have time to linger a bit longer. You can order in a very modern way via touch screen or the old-school way directly at the counter.
For those who don’t feel like heading to the city center, Luxorino offers convenient delivery options via Wolt, Uber Eats, or Foozo. The taste experience remains intact even with cold-delivered sandwiches — no need to reheat.
The first Schiacciateria in the Grand Duchy
Every sandwich starts with the fresh homemade bread: “We basically make Schiacciata, as you know it from Italy, with the crispy crust, but we try to make the dough inside a bit thicker and fluffier, like you know from Foccacchia,” explains Brian Clain, the owner.
A little bit of honey and, of course, olive oil go into the dough, which ensures that the crust becomes nice and crispy while also providing the necessary flavor.
International specialties under one roof
When it comes to the ingredients, Luxorino doesn’t hold back: Italian mortadella, Spanish chorizo, Brazilian catupiry, and an award-winning Portuguese sheep cheese are just some of the international delicacies that end up on the sandwiches.
New influences like French cheeses are constantly expanding the spectrum.
The Mortarino is probably the most popular and comes with Bolognese mortadella, stracciatella, pesto, and grated pistachios.
His fiery Iberian cousin, the Chorino, offers Spanish chorizo, flambéed 36-month Manchego cheese on a spicy Nduja paste — for those who like it a bit spicier!
The Pomorino represents the cornerstone of Italian cuisine: tomato and mozzarella. In this case, a burrata on fresh tomato slices with fresh basil and truffle oil — a dream!
The Brazirino is the Brazilian sandwich piled high with Catupiry, a Brazilian cream cheese, fried potato chips, and fried mortadella.
The Frangorino comes with a magnificent Portuguese sheep cheese, which was awarded the title of best cheese in the world in 2024.
If you’re in the mood for something sweet, you can order a homemade Schiacciata with pistachio cream and mascarpone or Nutella and mascarpone or stick with the classics like a cannoli or tiramisu.
Whoever wants can put together their own ‘Rhino’, according to personal taste and preferences.
Conclusion
Anyone active on Instagram may have already come across some of Luxorino’s entertaining promotional reels, in which the team appears humorous and self-ironic. Despite the relaxed atmosphere and the laid-back team behind the counter, they take product quality very seriously! With an average price of €15 per Rhino*, the price seems quite reasonable given the portion size — which is truly filling — and the high-quality ingredients for urban standards. In this respect, one must agree with the statement from a well-known Instagram reel of the street food shop, even if the local youth language might elicit a chuckle: When you’re craving something hearty, Luxorino is always a good choice, because, and we can confirm, “Do ass ëmmer bien!”
*For students and pupils, there are variants for €6.50, where less meat and cheese are used, but the size of the sandwich remains the same.
