SAVE IT FOR YOUR NEXT DATE 🍸

Places you can’t miss in Ville Haute | Part IV

In a corner of Grand Rue, you’ll find this bar where you can have traditional cocktails with a twist. They provide some nibbles along with your drinks, but you can also ask for some light food to share

Adding to that, the atmosphere is intimate, considering the sophisticated decoration and the darker wall tones. It is usually less crowded, which helps when you want to have conversations without screaming 😬

All in all, this is the perfect bar for a date and I will definitely be back to try other cocktails 😏

ℹ️ As there are not that many tables, I’d advise you to book one in advance, which you can do on their website

📍 Shinzo at 8 Grand Rue, Luxembourg City

SAVE THIS FOR YOUR BAO CRAVES 🤸

Places you can’t miss in Clausen | Part I

This one had been on my “to try” list for a while and I finally went there on a Friday evening when I was craving some Baos. I feel like baos can easily feel very mushy, but THESE ONES 🫨🫨

First of all, they were quite big, I was satisfied with just a dish of Gua Baos and I definitely recommend the pulled pork ones, a classic that never goes out of fashion 💁🏻‍♀️

But, as the idea is to share, we also ordered some aubergine starters and the golden mushrooms. My expectations were not high for the starters, but the mushrooms were a pleasant surprise! 🍄‍🟫👌🏻

So, this is definitely a post I’d recommend you to save so you don’t forget to check this restaurant for your next Bao dinner 🥷

ℹ️ As the space is rather small, I recommend you to book a table in advance either by calling or online.

📍 Bao Bar in 51 Rue de Clausen, Luxembourg City

When in Vilnius, you can add a day trip to

It was the previous capital of Lithuania 🇱🇹 as the Grand Dukes used to live in the 🏰 surrounded by the lake

You can see different rooms with decorations from that period, instruments of torture in the patio and the whole history of Lithuania and the castle, including its reconstruction

It’s quite easy to go either by train or bus from Vilnius to Trakai and it must be lovely in the summer!

Vilnius has many restaurants, but here are my recommendations:
👉🏻 for Lithuanian dishes, you can go to Bernelių Užeiga 🇱🇹 and try the , a kind of potato dumplings, and the beetroot soup which comes with some potatoes on the side 🥔 the fried bread sticks are also a must (kepta duona)!!
👉🏻 for a coffee break, head to on Pilies Street, they have a gorgeous ceiling light and some great brownies and eclairs 🤤
👉🏻 if you’re craving pasta, I definitely recommend The Date, a recently opened restaurant in Vilniaus Street where you can head for a glass wine and grab dinner 🍝🍷
