Eating Out

I'm a slow-fooder. Food is almost as interesting to me as travel. Sweet, sour, salty, exotic or local, vegetarian and meat...anything that is fresh and tasty can pass my lips. Here are some of our favorites...

U Bilěho Lva
This is a great little local restaurant for us. The menu is basic and yet creative. The stables are a variety of traditional Czech meals, meats and pastas. They change the menu every few months so you can't get addicted a favorite and never try something new. The herbs are always fresh and the taste bursts in your mouth. But the real treat at U Bilěho Lva (At the White Lion) is the staff. Every waiter is friendly, smiling, helpful and informative. This is worth more than it's weight in chocolate.

Malý Buddha
As the name implies, this one is an Asian themed restaurant with a Mongolian owner who personally oversees the food and seating. If fresh is what you dig in your food, this is the place for you. The ginger tea has the ginger root floating in the pot, the bean sprouts crunch and pop in your mouth and the spring rolls lovingly hand folded. I recommend sitting in the back by the Buddha statue. These back tables are Japanese style, low to the ground with diners sitting on cushions.

Restaurace na Prachandě
You need a car to get to this one, but if you are anywhere in the vicinity of Dobřiš you should stop by. If you are lucky enough to be there for the daily menu, you'll be served a very healthy serving of Czech fare that won't make a dent in your wallet. The normal menu is also chalk-full of old favorites and some very yummy house specials.

Tandoor
Looking for spicy and affordable Indian in Prague? Look no further, Tandoor will make your nose run but your eyes won't water when the bill comes. The owners are very friendly. Plan for a long meal, it can take a bit of time for the goodness to come from the kitchen.
