fields Restaurant, Michelin-starred plant-based cuisine in Findel

fields Restaurant is the restaurant of the Airfield Restaurant & Living complex, located in Findel (Luxembourg). Its cuisine is led by executive chef René Mathieu, who has made plant-based and vegetable-forward cooking the core of his approach. The establishment has been awarded one Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star, the latter for its commitment to sustainable gastronomy.

The cuisine of René Mathieu

The chef's offering is presented as a celebration of nature and creativity. Mathieu works with local, locally sourced ingredients, with a particular emphasis on vegetables, fruits and wild herbs, and prioritises products from small growers in the Grand Duchy. His menus are described as a journey through flavours and textures, with combinations of smoky notes, subtle textures and bold pairings, and are presented as 100% plant-based and gluten-free.

The philosophy that the house attributes to the chef is summed up in three ideas —consciousness, love and respect— which, according to its presentation, guide every step in the kitchen. Seasonal inspiration determines the transformation of each raw ingredient into an intense sensory experience.

Awards and background

The restaurant holds one Michelin star and a Michelin Green Star. The Gault & Millau gastronomic guide also appears among the distinctions highlighted by the establishment itself, along with the We're Smart label. The chef's previous career includes his former restaurant, La Distillerie, which for two years held the number one spot in the We're Smart TOP100 ranking of the world's best vegetable restaurants. That track record places René Mathieu, according to the information on the website itself, as the second We're Smart Untouchable, alongside Xavier Pellicer.

Menus and experience

The offering revolves around seasonal menus. The website details a lunch menu available from Wednesday to Friday and a menu conceived as a plant-based experience. Each dish is presented as a story linked to nature. The restaurant is part of the Airfield hotel, whose facilities combine, according to its description, historic charm and modern sophistication, with boutique rooms.
