Cafe Op der Bakes

Mine and Robert's favorite touring in Luxembourg is to go castle hunting. With map in hand from the tourist office we set out to see as many as we could even after the Chateau at Vianden. When the storm hit we were on top of the hill in Brandenbourg, exploring the ruins of the 10th century castle in the valley of the Blees only a few kilometers from Diekirch and Vianden, south on the road to Bettendorf on highway N17 and N19. At the bottom of the hill going down on the right you will find the flower decked terrace of the Cafe Op der Bakes and the owner May a Jos Schreiner-Jungles. After brushing aside the flannel cloth which repels the cold rainy wind, you immediatly see the bar, gleaning hardwood worn from years of use and to the right the pot-belled wood burning stove framed by heavy wooden round tables and on the left several banquettes with chairs in the front. All this was needed to hold all the mountains of food when served. The restaurant serves the daily special and that is all that is on the menu. Locals come from as far away Luxembourg City to eat the Ardennes ham, broadbeans in sauce and the delicate salad greens grown by May served with a special vingerette. The menu in the fall is their own hand-stuffed blood sausage a very local speciality. Jos compliments the lunch with a choice of the red or white wines of the Moselle Valley and if you can manage the wonderful tart with real cream please save room for the coffee served with the village's own Honey Brandy. Lunch is all inclusive except for the wine and brandy.
