A concentrate of originality and refinement
After more than two years of preparation, the EHTL’s participation in Expo 2020 Dubai has become a reality. The first students to be selected to take part in this unprecedented adventure have already had the chance to spend 11 weeks in the United Arab Emirates and enjoy a formative experience that they will not soon forget. A second team took over at the end of November to run the restaurant in the Luxembourg pavilion, in the kitchen as well as welcoming and serving customers. The large numbers of visitors are delighted with the high-quality culinary experience on offer.

As a partner of the Luxembourg pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai, the EHTL had the honour of developing the gastronomic concept for the restaurant ‘The Schengen Lounge’. For the occasion, Michelin-starred chef Kim Kevin De Dood, a former student and teacher at the Diekirch school, has revisited traditional Luxembourg cuisine: Gromperekichelcher with smoked salmon or apple compote; Kniddelelen with smoked duck; Quetschentaart with almond shortcrust pastry, plum mousse and hints of rosemary. At the same time, Chef De Dood has taken care to reflect Luxembourg’s diversity and multiculturalism in dishes such as beef ribs with yuzu, chicken risotto and trout with fennel and ginger, to name just a few of his original creations.
All the gastronomic compositions served in Dubai – eighteen dishes and five exceptional desserts – have now been brought together in a collection produced by the EHTL and entitled “The Schengen Lounge – Recipe Book – Livre de recettes“. Written in French and English, the beautifully illustrated book is available from the EHTL for €30.
The sale of this book helps to fund educational projects at the EHTL and to promote the school’s reputation.
