2 Best Restaurants in Vianden, The Luxembourg Ardennes

Dark, cozy, and casual, this 1683 inn serves simple brasserie fare—schnitzels, cordon bleu, fondue—and a wide selection of grilled meats cooked in full view of the dining area over a sizzling wood fire. If you've given up on pork chops, this is the place to get reacquainted. The nine rooms upstairs are rustically furnished and tidy, and make for a good-value place to bed down if you're staying the night. 

The service might be among the more lethargic in town, but where this café-restaurant truly shines is its setting: perched directly above the waters of the River Our. The menu is pretty standard stuff, with an array of schnitzels catching the eye. Or just come for a coffee and soak in the views.
