Sunday breakfast in Luxembourg while watching the guard of Grand Ducal Palace
Did I mention in my previous Luxembourg blog entries that it is pretty much dead on a Sunday in the city? Shops are closed and very few cafes and restaurants are open. Before coming to Luxembourg, I’ve searched online high and low for a café or restaurant that is open for breakfast or brunch on a Sunday. My search led me to the ‘Chocolate House by Natalie Bonn’ located strategically in front of the Grand Ducal Palace.
The Chocolate House is one of the very few cafes and restaurants that is open for breakfast on a Sunday. They open their doors at 10AM.
I didn’t want to have my brunch at my hotel—Hotel Place d’Armes because I wanted somewhere more interesting and entertaining, such as watching the guard of the Grand Ducal Palace pacing up and down the lane. You can be lucky also and witness the changing of the guard/s.
I’m not a sweet tooth lady as well so obviously I did not come here for the chocolate. However, if you are, I suggest you take a look at this Youtube video.
The breakfast was actually too much for me. I only finished the croissant, 1x ham, 1x cheese and the eggs. I did not even touch the bread. Over all it was not really great, so I am not sure if I would recommend their breakfast, other than having the view to the Grand Ducal Palace and the guard, and they being one of the very few open on a Sunday morning. Well, if you come here and try their chocolate, it might just save the experience. They have great reviews online.
During the day it can get very busy here. But on a Sunday morning in January, I had the place almost all to myself =)

This was taken on a Saturday afternoon.

On the cover of revue, the new gossip in town: Prince Felix of Luxembourg and his fiancee, Claire Lademacher. Interestingly, I managed to read and understand Deutsch.
The palace guard was an attraction, and every now and then a group of tourists gather in front of the Grand Ducal Palace and the Chocolate House for photo opportunities.
