Cafe Litteraire le Bovary Luxembourg City

Novel and poetic cafe

Wendy from Luxembourg City

About me I'm a writer, poet, journalist, artist and radio host with a daughter and two sons, a dog and a cat. I love walking in Luxembourg's gorgeous forests with their trickling rivers, gorges and cliffs, and I love discovering new places, whether locally or far away. I love reading, films, meditation, talking (essential for radio!) meeting people, enjoying vegetarian meals and popcorn, yog...
""Cafe Litteraire le Bovary" in Luxembourg City isn't just good for literary & book events; I love coming here just whenever and soaking up the atmosphere!"

I first discovered Bovary’s when I went to a book launch, and it's absolutely the perfect spot for all things literary. It’s like an older relative’s house, if your older relative were a bibliophile auntie who knows Jane Austin novels by heart, has a flair for interior decorating and can whip you up a selection of tapas or some salmon pasta at moment’s notice.

I had attended numerous literary events and even intimate concerts here before it dawned on me – I could go to Bovary’s on my own, anytime. And why wouldn’t I? There are two rooms upstairs and one down, packed with cosy armchairs, a piano, tables for two and four with table lamps, pink walls and framed paintings, doilies, candles and books, books and more books everywhere.  Nice food, good drinks, and two gorgeous patio areas with fairy lights and lots of atmosphere... What are you waiting for? Book now!

Bovary's on the outskirts of the city. Take the number 4 bus from Hamilius to Weimerskirch, get off at stop Krupp.

About me I'm a writer, poet, journalist, artist and radio host with a daughter and two sons, a dog and a cat. I love walking in Luxembourg's gorgeous forests with their trickling rivers, gorges and cliffs, and I love discovering new places, whether locally or far away. I love reading, films, meditation, talking (essential for radio!) meeting people, enjoying vegetarian meals and popcorn, yoga and qi gong. Why Luxembourg City? I'm still in love with it after living here for 30 years - I still get a thrill looking down into the Grund from on high, I still find the bridg...
