BENU SLOOW is there !

The first vegetarian-vegan "Rescued Food" restaurant in the Greater Region opens its doors in Esch-sur-Alzette!

The BENU kitchen team composes new innovative taste explosions every day from high-quality "rescued" food, complemented by aromatic local wild herbs, the finest spices and carefully selected ingredients!
And not only that: all ingredients come from controlled ecological agriculture and, if possible, from local production. Everything fresh. Everything under the Slow-Food motto...

Why "Rescued Food"?

(Too) much fresh fruit and vegetable, that meets high quality and EU standards, never reaches the retail sector. Why? Because the shop always has to be full, even shortly before closing time. Consequently, a lot of products are still waiting to be bought while the next products are already being delivered.

The "surplus" food is regularly disposed of...

Let yourself be surprised !

Discover BENU SLOOW in the new ecovillage BENU VILLAGE in Esch-sur-Alzette!

Old shipping containers, a dismantled door, surplus wood...

BENU SLOOW emerges from scratch, yet for its construction, dismantled materials from other building projects and leftover materials from businesses were used. As the first and central part of BENU VILLAGE, BENU SLOOW consistently focuses on circular economy, UpCycling and ZeroWaste. The BENU SLOOW restaurant is supported by the Œuvre Nationale de Secours Grande-Duchesse Charlotte.

The creation of the ecovillage BENU VILLAGE Esch is possible thanks to the generous support of the municipality of Esch-sur-Alzette! Other committed supporters are the Ministry of Environment, Climate and Sustainable Development and the Ministry of Economy.

We thank all our supporters for their great commitment!

As part of BENU VILLAGE, BENU SLOOW is more than a restaurant. It is rather a place of discovery, experience and encounter...

...between young and old, different people and cultures!

We are looking forward to seeing you!

BENU SLOOW has started his culinary adventure
Let yourself be surprised!

BENU SLOOW, the first vegetarian-vegan "rescued food" restaurant in the Greater Region, creates new and innovative taste experiences for you every day !

Our kitchen team prepares its fresh compositions from high-quality "rescued food", i.e. "saved" food that could no longer be sold in the trade, although it still has a sufficiently long shelf life. Only 20% of all processed food is purchased. All ingredients are certified organic and carefully selected, preferably from local production and seasonally adapted. What cannot be turned into a dish in the kitchen is further transformed into unusual drinks, dishes and extracts in the bar or in the Culinary Atelier. The vegetarian and vegan SLOOW menu is complemented by aromatic wild herbs and the finest spices from our local partners.

A cooking as we know it? Of course not.

A normal bar ? Well, not really...

A Culinary Atelier ... how? Surprise!

Children up to 12 years, as well as Kulturpass holders, receive a 50% discount on all food and drinks.
