Decent but not exquisite breakfast with a view: Restaurant L’Observatoire @ Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal (12. September 2022)
The L’Observatoire is not only a nice bar, but it’s also the place where the breakfast for the hotel guests is served. So, it’s very multi-functional, which is a smart use of a very lovely place. The “American breakfast” (EUR 32.00) offers everything you need and want in good quality. Frankly, it’s not the most […]

Unfortunately, quite of a disappointment when looking for soul food: Restaurant Mamacita (11. September 2022)
Finding a restaurant which is open on a Sunday evening is not as easy as I had expected. Well, of course, there are quite a few tourist traps, but I tried to avoid those and was looking for hidden gems, for recommendations, for the places you would not find easily. And while there were a […]

An amazing view over Luxembourg: Restaurant L’Observatoire @ Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal (11. September 2022)
I was absolutely starving after a 4+ hours drive to Luxembourg and ended up eating in the rooftop restaurant of the hotel. There wasn’t too big a selection in the afternoon, so I went for something hearty, i.e., the “Mu Burger (home-made burger bun, relish sauce, BBQ sauce, bacon, cheddar, candied and crispy onions, tomato, […]

So promising yet so disappointing: Restaurant Amélys (9. June 2019)
Usually, I’n not a fan of hotel restaurants if it is not the hotel I’m staying at but on a Sunday night in Luxembourg City, it is rather difficult to find something which is open and not called McDonalds or Burger King and the Amélys was open and recommended by the Guide Michelin 2019 as […]

More or less average and lacking a surprising element: Restaurant La Bergamote (8. June 2019)
The “La Bergamote” was also a recommendation of the guide Michelin app among the ‘Bib Gourmand’ restaurants. Now, I’m not entirely sure how it ended up there. The whole thing started with the fact that the place is not very atmospheric and is more like a “get many people through” restaurant. However, I had hope […]

Appearances are deceiving: Restaurant Brasserie chez Matelots (8. June 2019)
Sometimes, TripAdvisor is a reliable source if you want to find a restaurant on short notice which is open and offers quite good food – and the Brasserie chez Matelots was exactly that! At first you would not necessarily want to enter as the place does not look that appealing from the outside but once […]

Decent breakfast offering: Restaurant @ Park Inn by Radisson Luxembourg City Hotel (8. June 2019)
Given I usually spend about a hundred nights a year in Marriott (or formerly Starwood hotels), I was and am rather skeptical about other hotel chains and among them was Radisson. And while their product in terms of rooms isn’t comparable to Marriott (at least what used to be Starwood), the breakfast buffet offers a […]

A lovely little restaurant with a hidden entrance: Restaurant Le Bouquet Garni (7. June 2019)
Given the decision to pay a visit to Luxembourg was a rather last minute one, there was no chance to actually get a table at a Michelin starred restaurant within the city of Luxembourg. Furthermore, the majority of the Michelin starred restaurants in Luxembourg City are closed on Saturday and Sunday which I already found […]
