#597 Lots of vegan options, restaurant Aal, Echternach, Lux

restaurant review #597 – Great to see so many vegan options on the menu, and clearly labelled! Especially in an area that is not particularly vegan friendly … but very beautiful (more photos of the Echternach region below).

We went here twice, once for lunch, once for dinner (on different days 😉 ). A very early dinner, because when we went to make a reservation for later that evening, they were fully booked (except for a high table chairs at 8pm). So we chose to have dinner at 5pm, which was ‘just’ possible. So definitely advised to make a reservation!!

The food was nice. Great to have vegan cheezes, sauces, side dishes! Expensive though, but of course it is a tourist region … The desserts are definitely a portion (and a price!) to share.

Service was mixed. More friendly at lunch than at dinner. It was very rushed then.
Comfortable seatings (wouldn’t want to sit at the high chairs though).
Not accessible – steps to get in, steps inside resto room, toilets downstairs (modernised and clean).

About toilets: we were very impressed to find several free public toilets in the countryside. Which were self-cleaning (and clean!). I wish we had this in Belgium!

PS: Despite having ordered everything vegan, the coffee then came with … a cup of cow milk on the side. Please pay attention to these ‘details’. Nice to see the cookie was vegan though.
