Morphology
The meaning 'a restaurant that is lavishly furnished and expensive' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'luxurious' (providing great pleasure and luxury) with 'restaurant' (a place where food is served). This straightforward adjective+noun composition follows common cross-linguistic patterns and would be understandable to a B1 learner who knows both constituents.
Etymology
Luxurious restaurant creates a clear image: a restaurant with very fancy furniture, soft lights and careful service, where the food feels 'special' and 'expensive'. So, it means a place to eat that is richly decorated, offers very good service and serves 'expensive' gourmet food.
