Home delivery

This meals-on-wheels programme (repas sur roues) offers home-delivered meals to people over 65 who live in Luxembourg City and have a medical certificate making them eligible for this service.

Distribution

Meals are delivered on all working days. An additional meal may be delivered on Saturday or on the eve of a public holiday if the customer wishes. These additional meals are to be stored in the refrigerator and reheated the next day using the procedure described below.

Meals are delivered with a packaging and heating system known as Inducook. The complete meal package is delivered chilled, transported in specially designed vehicles and on compact thermo-insulated MenüMobil trays. The customer then heats the meal package at home for 42 minutes.

Meals are delivered daily between 9:00 and 11:30.

Meals for customers with special dietary needs

Each meal consists of a soup or first course, a main course and a dessert. Customers with special dietary needs may order meals meeting their requirements; these are prepared under the supervision of a registered dietician.

The following special meal plans are available:

  • meal plan for diabetics

  • light meal plan
