Named after the probably most important and known book by local author Michel Rodange (1827 – 1876), Renert, an adaption of Goethes “Reinecke Fuchs”, this bistro (over lunch time), café (during the day) and bar (at night) is both traditional yet tempting. Wooden […]

I DIED (UN)HAPPY IN MY SLEEP. Sill lifes by Max Dauphin at The Farm.
“When I recently read in The Guardian that mankind has already eradicated 60% of the wildlife since 1970, it made me think again,” says Max Dauphin. Moderate consumption, appreciation of wildlife and nature with simultaneous tolerance for individual behaviors, as long as people do not forget to reflect self-critically and act moderately. This consideration is based on […]

LA RESERVE. For a southern flavoured gathering.
Although I myself I am the biggest fan of Italy, I must say that also other Southern cuisines and lifestyles have their own lovable charm. A place in Luxembourg that makes you feel being South – maybe France, more Spain – is the wine and tapas bar La Réserve in Limpertsberg (23, Avenue Pasteur). With […]
A WALK IN THE PARK. Or a beer at the Pavillon.
About the Pavillon restaurant and terrace in Parc Merl-Belair you have already read a few months ago.

Curated very well and equipped quite excellent, they […]
