There were many interesting bars and restaurants that we stumbled into in our walks around Prague, such as the the old blue-collar bar U Rotundy (I thought I was back at Jimmy's in Hyde Park!).
Undoubtedly, our favorite place for dinner was just across the street from where we lived: Usebaracnicka rychta.
We called it "The house of the Baranici."
This meal is called the "Hunter's Platter" for 2 or 3 people. It consists of roast pork knuckles, marinaded ribs, large chunks of bacon, deer (venison) cutlets, fried mushrooms, potato pancakes, and garnish!
Do I look pleased? Or just full?
At the same restaurant (but another night), I had an absolutely delicious meal of roast pork loin, stuffed with bacon and marinaded with garlic, on a bed of leaks in cheese sauce and potatoes. Arrrrgh, it was good.
We also had memorable meals at Arcimboldo (chicken soup, duck with red cabbage and potato dumplings, and apple strudel), where the claim to fame was hosting Vaclav Havel with Boris Yeltsin, and a decent pizza and Greek salads at the Saint Nicholas Cafe.
And all washed down with prodigious quantities of good Czech beer. I think our favorite was Staropramen, but we also enjoyed Pilsner Urquell, Krakovice, Budvar, Svijany, Guiness, and a few others!
