Our lone bag of recyclables was the only one left on the curb this morning. Why, oh why, municipality of Luxembourg, did you not pick up our garbage? Is it because the wine bottles are from France and the beer bottles are from Belgium? For new arrivals to Luxembourg, here’s a run-down on the recycling […]

Action!
Wonderful show, amazing crew! This weekend, we had a blast shooting a hit American television show. Stay tuned for more details… (Special thanks to Matt and Larry for convincing me to go ahead with it this!)
Dubai Palm
Inexpensive Middle Eastern food and one of the few decent vegetarian options in Luxembourg. The food is not memorable, but it’s good for a reasonably priced sit-down venue. 3 Avenue Monterey, Luxembourg
Le Bistro by Parc Belair
Traditional French, Luxembourgish and Italian cuisine are served at this basic, comfortable restaurant. I had the white asparagus appetizer and pasta. Neither was amazing, but both were tasty enough to encourage another visit. This restaurant is open on Sundays. 111 Avenue Dix Septembre, Luxembourg
Brasserie du Cercle
Fresh and seasonable food is the focus at this Place d’Armes brasserie. The menu includes regional specialties (quiche, meat and fish dishes), salads, pizzas, pastas and artisanal ice creams. The pizza and ice cream are delicious. Skip the pasta. There’s a good selection of wines from Luxembourg, France and Italy and beers from Belgium, Germany […]
Pavillon du Parc Bel Air
A great Luxembourg City al fresco dining spot: Pavillon du Parc Bel Air ‘s patio, which overlooks the pond in Parc du Merl. The menu offers regional specialties such as grilled meats with a choice of sauces, pasta, quiche and salads. A small selection of wines, Champagne and crémant from France and the Moselle Valley […]
Moselle Valley
Europe’s smallest wine-growing region stretches 42 km along the western bank of the Moselle River. Global warming has done its part in making this former up-and-coming region a true contender on the wine scene, contributing to the ideal microclimate and fertile soil. Most grapes are used to make whites and rosés, and a few […]
Bosso Brasserie
Yesterday, summer (or a heatwave) finally arrived in Luxembourg! Temps were in the high-80’s F all day long and the sky was an ideal blue. We enjoyed an al fresco lunch with our new friend Sophie at Bosso Brasserie in the Grund. This was the perfect spot for a steamy Sunday, since the back patio […]
Fête Nationale
Fête nationale: Luxembourg’s biggest party of the year was last night, the eve of National Day, the observed birthday of Grand Duchess Charlotte who reigned from 1919-1964. The grand duchess was actually born on January 23, 1896, but the holiday was conveniently moved to a warmer month. I was told this night is a […]
Scott’s Pub
On a sunny afternoon (like today’s), we’ve found Scott’s to be the best terrace in town. Located in the medieval Grund neighborhood, this traditional Irish pub overlooks the River Alzette. An international clientele flocks here to enjoy the array of draft beers, cocktails and wine. 4, Bisserweg, L-1238 Luxembourg.
