The View Brasserie & Bar
BackLocated at 22 Mecherwee, in Eeselbur Klierf, just minutes from Clervaux in northern Luxembourg, The View Brasserie & Bar is a prime destination for lovers of fine dining and exceptional views. Part of the Excellence Hotels group, this establishment has built a solid reputation with both locals and visitors thanks to its refined cuisine, attentive service, and breathtaking views of the valley and the surrounding golf course.
The hotel offers two daily seatings—lunch from 12:00 to 14:00 and dinner from 18:00 to 21:00—Monday to Tuesday and Friday to Sunday. The restaurant is closed on Wednesdays and Thursdays, so keep this in mind when planning your visit. Reservations can be made by phone at +352 92 93 95 21, and you can also book directly through the Excellence Hotels group’s official website. Accessibility is another strong point: the entrance is wheelchair accessible, and private parking is available, including for motorcyclists who particularly appreciate this stop during their rides through the Luxembourg Ardennes.
Refined cuisine in the heart of the Ardennes
The View Brasserie & Bar ‘s menu emphasizes the diversity and quality of its ingredients. Signature dishes include game—venison in season—Thai-style scampi, al dente tagliatelle served with a universally acclaimed speculoos tiramisu, and a perfectly seared ribeye steak presented with a sophisticated garnish. The chefs excel at plating, transforming each meal into a true visual experience. The menu also offers vegetarian options, wine, beer, and, of course, a selection of homemade desserts that are well worth a visit.
Several loyal customers highlight the finesse and generosity of the cuisine, with portions that do not disappoint despite the establishment’s high standard. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and the chef seems particularly adept at preparing game, a classic in this region of Luxembourg. The trained and competent staff readily offers expert advice on wine pairings, demonstrating true professionalism.
A frame that lives up to its name
The name “The View” is no mere marketing ploy: the view of the golf course and the surrounding valley is truly the brasserie’s greatest asset. Whether enjoying lunch on the terrace during the warmer months or an intimate dinner inside, the scenery is ever-present at the table, enhancing every moment. The bright and elegant dining room boasts a convivial atmosphere, perfect for family meals, business dinners, or romantic getaways.
For guests staying at Excellence Group partner hotels, such as the Hotel Koener in Clervaux, Louis—the hotel’s owner—even offers personalized transportation to and from the restaurant. This level of attention, rare in traditional restaurants, perfectly illustrates the establishment’s service philosophy.
A service that makes a difference
Beyond the food and the decor, what comes up most often in customer reviews is the warmth of the waitstaff. Names like Ali, Dimitar, and Audrey appear regularly in glowing comments. The waiter Ali, in particular, is frequently mentioned for his kindness, sense of humor, and excellent wine recommendations. The service is described as “5-star,” “impeccable,” and “attentive” by many visitors who don’t hesitate to return several times during a single stay.
The kitchen team, for its part, is praised for its consistency and ability to maintain a high standard even during peak periods. This coordination between the different departments creates a seamless experience where the customer feels heard and pampered, an essential element for a restaurant that aspires to build loyalty among a demanding clientele.
Some points to consider
No brewery is perfect, so it’s worth mentioning some aspects that might disappoint some visitors. The prices—ranging from mid-range to high—may come as a surprise, especially for simple drinks like a beer. Several customers feel the prices are slightly above the average for restaurants in the area. For longer stays, some guests who opted for half-board find the menus somewhat repetitive over several days.
Some visitors also reported occasional stock shortages of certain dishes or wines, and a perceived lower quality of service on some evenings when the restaurant was less busy, which may seem paradoxical. The overall atmosphere loses its energy when the dining room is sparsely filled, and some customers would have appreciated more entertainment. Finally, it should be noted that the restaurant may close on certain days without much prior notice, forcing hotel guests to choose other establishments in the village of Clervaux, located a few kilometers away.
Regarding the takeaway service, it’s important to note that the establishment doesn’t offer it systematically—the focus is primarily on dining in. Customers wishing to take away a meal should therefore contact the brasserie directly to check availability.
