Among our 6 days and nights in Prague we only visited 5 restaurants for either lunch or dinner.  2 of them are pub restaurants, U Pinkasu and Lokal .  For environment I prefer U Pinkasu.  For service and sincerity Lokal is the obvious option.  For food, I also opt for Lokal. At U Pinkasu one has choices of sitting outside or inside, ground floor or 1st floor for more refined versions of Bohemian cuisine.   We picked the outdoor dining as it was high summer and during the day time.  Tables were long and seating was spacious.  Comfy and feel closer to the city beat.  It's near the Wenceslas Square . Beer was good.  Hey, it's Czechs.  Beer will never disappoint.  At the restaurant's website, it highlights Bohemian sirloin and beef goulash with dumplings.  My goulash was OK but not something to wow or delight.  The dumplings were so so.  My friend's duck leg w...

It's our first lunch in Prague.  Klub Architektu is located next to the Betlémské Chapel . Situated at the basement and decoration as a cave adds atmosphere. A good impression right at the start.  It's modern and chic.  Lunch menu is served Monday to Sunday.  You've got a few choices of main courses. We ordered Chicken thigh roll with red cabbage and dumplings from the lunch menu .  Chicken is my rare choice for Continental dining.  But this was good and I liked it.  The other dish was pappardella with salmon.  It was delicious, creamy but not too filling. Soup with bread or dessert were offered at 38kcduring lunch.  Of course, meal in Czechs Republic cannot go without beer.  Cheers!  It was served on our table.

July 2013  U modré kachničky  U modré kachničky is my favourite restaurant during our trip in Prague.  It's rich, delicate, elegant yet delicious.  Game is its specialty. The great impression will stay for long.     Smoked duck breast with union marmalade & wild game pate with bacon and cranberry sauce We came here for lunch.  As the second table of guests we were handed a la carte menu.  First came in sight is their Degustation menu .  950Kr for 7 dishes!  2 appetizers served in one, 3 main courses and 2 desserts.  We only ordered an extra main dish and half bottle of red wine.  Very satisfied and pleased with the choice!  Confit duck roulade with walnut stuffing We were offered a table next to a closed window placed with photos of celebrities or famous people: tennis player Roger Federer , Sean Connery , Helmut Kohl , etc.  It's kind of endorsement and it did not disappoin...
