Brasserie Chalet am Brill

One of several restaurants that form the Mondorf-les-Bains spa facility, its big draw is the impressive walled garden and playground where, on sunny days, children can roam freely. The cuisine is Luxembourg-French brasserie style.

Bei der Giedel

A welcome refuelling point. Simple fayre of omelette and hearty slabs of meat, raclette and a novel take on macaroni and cheese all make this the soul-food go-to.

Lou’s Diner

One of the Mullerthal region’s best-kept secrets, people have been known to drive out just for the homely American burgers and fries.

Mudam Café

Museums and kids are not always a good combination. But Luxembourg’s Mudam is not your average contemporary art museum--it hosts workshops for kids, and the bright, spacious café is a great place to let little ones run off the leash. Food is simple but fresh and wholesome, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options.
