Our last spot is a classic pick. Um Plateau is known for its amazing terrace, innovative small plates and cool interior design. It’s also known for its incredible selection of G&Ts. The mixologist behind the bar will pair gins from all over the world with the perfect tonic and garnishes. Even the biggest gin expert is sure to discover something new.

Spot Nine: Shinzo Bar

This specialty cocktail bar is a one that we can’t get enough of! Their cocktails are some of the best that we’ve tried and their G&T is one that we keep going back for. Yes you can opt for the classic gin but our recommendation is to choose one of the blended gin drinks as they are fabulous!

But of course don’t take our word for it. The appreciation of gin and tonic continues to thrive and survive in Luxembourg, and half of the excitement is discovering the new places as they crop up! Let us know your favourite place to sip on a G&T and we’ll add it to the list!
