Luxembourg City: three new addresses in and around the Grund

The Grund, the lower town along the Alzette, was long mainly a weekend nightlife area. That's changing: a new generation of owners is deliberately choosing the district, with venues that are full even on a Tuesday lunchtime.

A brasserie with a view

At the foot of the casemates, a brasserie has opened in a former warehouse. The menu is classic Luxembourgish — Judd mat Gaardebounen, Rieslingspaschtéit — but lighter, with vegetables from the Moselle valley.

Natural wine and early birds

Two streets further on, a tiny wine bar pours only natural wines from the Moselle, from both banks. And early risers can drop in from six o'clock at a breakfast spot aimed at commuters heading to Kirchberg.

All three are listed in our guide, with opening hours and booking links.✦
