Having arrived in Vianden, Luxemburg, everyone agrees that the very first order of the day is to find somewhere to have lunch.
There is a cable car that runs from the town to the top of a nearby hill and the consensus is that that would be an excellent start to our activities once lunch has been sorted.
We saw the cable car some several angles last trip but were so busy with the medieval festival, we didn’t have time to go on it.
This time we find a restaurant just meters from the cable car base terminal. I didn’t get it’s name but it was large and so close to the cable car it would be impossible to miss.
Little Mr wanted something as close as possible to a toastie (Croque Monsieur) but none were available here so e settled on a crusty bread roll with cheese.
Little Mr is despite our best efforts a stubbornly fussy eater, thus expressions of horror ensued when his plate arrived with… shudder…. salad on the side! he was also seriously suspicious of the piece of cucumber sticking out of his bread roll (even though he likes cucumber), I mean, if they sneak in cucumber what else might also have been deceptively hidden?
He raised the top of his sandwich and let out an expression of pure disgust: Olives, Gherkins (pickles)!!!?!
This was followed by a torrent of unhappy language about this complete and utter betrayal, how dare they literally add insult to injury by hiding yukky stuff inside his bread!
What a horrible restaurant, we were now expressly forbidden to ever come here again.
Our little guest looked on in amazement, we had to explain that Little Mr gets seriously unhappy when someone tries to put healthy things into his food (little does he know how often I hide veggies in his food at home!).
Kiwi Daughter on the other hand has been trying new foods a lot of late and as a reward was allowed to order a pancake with fruit salad, ice-cream and chocolate sauce for lunch. Little Guest ordered chicken nuggets and fries, and Himself and I ordered something that whilst calming down an irate Little Mr, I completely forgot to photograph.
There is a smaller locally decorated area with booth style seating at the front of the restaurant and on the other side of the fireplace next to us, a large open plan room where bigger groups are catered for. The service is fine, the food is good and (almost) all of us are completely happy with our meals.
