A week that closes twice and opens past midnight Once

Menu of the Week, 22–27 June 2026

Some weeks ask to be checked twice before you leave the house. This is one of them.

Tuesday 23 June is Luxembourg’s National Day, a public holiday, and MyCaffé will be closed, taking the day to celebrate alongside everyone else. Thursday flips that quiet entirely: MyCaffé’s Summer Night Party runs until midnight, the kind of late evening this place does rarely and does properly when it does. And Saturday, the doors close again, this time for a private event, a celebration belonging to someone else that the team is honoured to host.

Three different reasons, three different closures, and in between, a menu that holds its own against a week this full.

The Orecchiette con Cime di Rape, Pomodorini e Crostini di Pane open with one of Puglia’s most defining combinations. Cime di rape, turnip tops, are bitter, green and deeply traditional, the vegetable most associated with Puglian cooking and the natural partner to orecchiette in their home region. Here they are softened by cherry tomatoes and given crunch by bread croutons, a touch that recalls the southern Italian instinct to waste nothing, turning yesterday’s bread into today’s texture.

The Risotto con Carciofi e Calamari e Salsa alla Curcuma is the boldest dish on the menu, and it knows it. Artichokes and squid is already a classic Mediterranean pairing, the slightly bitter, earthy artichoke meeting the clean, oceanic squid in a combination found across Italian coastal cooking. The turmeric sauce is what makes this dish remarkable: not a traditional Italian spice, but its warm, earthy colour and gentle bitterness have found their way into modern Italian kitchens as chefs look beyond their own borders for new ways to say familiar things. Here it gilds the risotto in gold and adds a depth that neither the artichoke nor the squid could provide alone.

The Ravioli con Straccetti di Manzo (Halal) e Crema di Asparagi bring something substantial to the table. Straccetti, thin strips of beef cooked quickly to stay tender, fill the ravioli with real body, while the asparagus cream beneath keeps the dish anchored in early summer freshness.

The Maccheroni con Spianata Piccante e Pecorino Stagionato close the savoury pasta selection with heat and character. Spianata piccante is a spreadable, paprika-rich salami from Calabria, one of the great products of a region known for its love of spice and intensity. Worked into a sauce, it brings warmth that builds rather than overwhelms, and the aged Pecorino alongside provides the salty, granular counterpoint every bold Italian sauce needs.

And the Tagliata di Filetto di Pollo con Pomodori Secchi, Insalata di Spinaci e Salsa Yogurt Fatto in Casa closes the week with the same elegant reliability it has carried these past weeks: halal chicken, sliced across the grain, sun-dried tomatoes, fresh spinach, and a homemade yoghurt sauce that ties it all together in something light and bright.

Come Tuesday and you will find us closed, celebrating National Day. Come Thursday evening and you will find us open until midnight, glasses out, the night stretching longer than usual. Come Saturday and you will find the doors closed again, this time for someone else’s celebration.

Wednesday and Friday evenings until 19:00, Alessandro will be at the bar with MyAperitivo: a salumi board, tarallini and a glass chosen with the care a June evening deserves.

Una settimana da festeggiare, in tutti i sensi. 🎉
