Great confectionery in Namur, Belgium: La Maison des Desserts

During our trip to Namur, we found this confectionery in the old city centre and were delighted by the cakes we tasted there:

The interior decoration of La Maison des Desserts is very classy and apart from the great desserts, we have seen that people were also having lunch there:

The prices were very attractive also: EUR 3 / cake and EUR 2 / small bottle of soda/water.

The address of the confectionery is Rue Haute Marcelle, 17, Namur, Belgium

Great confectionery in Luxembourg City: Chocolate Company Bonn

Some friends have previously recommended us a great confectionery in Luxembourg City centre and yesterday we decided to give it a try: it's called Chocolate Company Bonn and is located just in front of the Grand Ducal Palace in Luxembourg City, on Rue du Marche aux Herbes.

We took away two pieces of cake and they were delicious (you can also choose to enjoy them there, "sur place"):

The portions are big, so don't go there after a copious lunch.

Prices are acceptable for Luxembourg: we paid EUR 9 for 2 pieces of cake.
