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

‘Tis the Season en France: Moules Frites
Just try ordering something besides mussels. I did and was denied. So an enormous, flavorful pot of moules it was and a side of frites that was almost as good as the five servings I had all over Belgium. When in France, just get the special. I was wrong to think I wanted anything […]
Eat This Pizza
Mamma Roma. Brussels. This pizza is shockingly, overwhelmingly outstanding. Angelo and I tried to think of better pizza we’ve had. Nowhere in the U.S., including NYC and that one place in New Haven. Nowhere in Europe, including Italy (although the owner learned pizza-making in Italy before modernizing it for this shop). The crust is sourdough-ish, […]
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 […]
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 […]
Adam Le St Epvre
A visit to France is not complete without macarons. This pâtissier/chocolatier offered other delectables, but to be honest, I ran in and zeroed in on the macaron selection so quickly that I didn’t get a good look at the other items. We sampled bergamote, chocolate, caramel, pistache and chocolate-menthe and were not disappointed. 3, Place […]
Café du Commerce, Nancy, France
Why I loved this restaurant: Home of the nicest, friendliest, most smiley waiter in France. The Salade Pere Eguin was the best salad I’ve had since living in Europe. It could have been the warm goat cheese wrapped in toasted puff pastry that made it a stand-out, or maybe it was the spicy mustard dressing. […]
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.
Restaurant Sieweburen
Serves moderately priced, average Luxembourgeoise cuisine, which I’ve come to realize includes a lot of simple meat and fish dishes with accompanying vegetable medleys. We had aperitifs, escalopes de veau viennoise and a half-carafe of rosé for about €70. This restaurant is open on Sundays and is located near the hiking trails off Rollingergrund at […]
