"Ma langue sourit (my tongue smiles) …which ultimately represents my profession."
Cyril Molard (Chef & Owner)
About the Ambassade
In a warm house nestled in a peaceful Luxembourgish village, every detail at Ma Langue Sourit creates a soothing, authentic atmosphere, from natural materials to a garden with beehives and a smoker. Thoughtful simplicity guides the experience, ensuring every guest feels genuinely welcomed the moment they arrive. Ma Langue Sourit has been open since 2008, and after one year, it earned its first Michelin star, followed by a second in 2018.
About the Krug Lover
Cyril Molard, chef and owner of Ma Langue Sourit, grew up in the Vosges. The son of a butcher-charcutier, he describes himself as a charcutier by trade. In his restaurant, meat will always have a special place, starting with his signature pâté en croûte served as an aperitif. For Cyril Molard, cuisine is a true alchemy. Everything begins with seasonality, the foundation of his approach. He works closely with local producers, often visiting the garden of Les Paniers de Sandrine in Munsbach because he believes that the bond between the cook and the guest is built through taste.
How would you describe your culinary philosophy?
A gourmet cuisine, clear, accessible. My philosophy is guided by sincerity and instinct. I don’t cook to make something beautiful; I cook to make something good. I imagine each dish by placing myself in the guest’s seat, serving only what I would genuinely enjoy eating.
What is the greatest lesson you have learnt in or outside the kitchen?
To be resilient in all circumstances, to take time to listen to others.
What are your sources of inspiration?
My creativity emerges from the transformation of the raw ingredient. Innovation lies in revealing the magic hidden within. This alchemy draws on scent, olfactory memory, textures, colours, seasoning, and the rhythm of the seasons. Creativity enters the kitchen from many angles, shaped by experience and emotion. Like an artist whose palette expands over time, my culinary expression continues to evolve, enriched by practice and intuition.
What role does Music play in your life?
Music is omnipresent and essential. I find in the Maison’s musical universe an echo of my own creative sensitivity. Just as music triggers intuitive flashes, I ‘see’ a dish before crafting it. This natural affinity, born in those moments, strengthens my connection with Krug. Pairing with Krug is something I integrate effortlessly into the development of my recipes.
What is your ultimate dream meal?
It would be to enjoy a wonderful dinner in the far north (Finland, Norway) in a wooden chalet, with a fireplace, a view of the lakes, and a glass of champagne.
What is your greatest achievement?
My special relationship with my two boys Jules and Louis.
When is your favourite time to enjoy Krug?
In the evening, in the calm, with music playing in the background.
Why do you love Krug?
Maison Krug embodies everything I love or value: dedication to work, reflection, questioning oneself, risk-taking and humility.
