Kardamon Klub


I love to eat and I love to travel, and Kardamon Klub may just be the restaurant that fills both those loves to a T.

The Kardamon Klub is located in the center of Prague, near Betlemske namesti. It is hidden down an alley, behind an imposing wooden door and down into a cheerful cellar.

The thing about the Kardamon Klub is there isn't just one menu. There are several menus based on Middle Eastern, African and Indian dishes. The menu you order from depends on how many times you have visited the restaurant. The first time you visit you have the Lebanon menu, the second time Persia, your third trip takes you to Yemen, then Zanzibar and finally you land in India. Throughout your visits to the restaurant you travel through a variety of culinary traditions. What a clever idea.

As it was our first visit, we had the menu inspired by Lebanon. We started with humus, pita bread, and salad. The next course was a variety of chicken, liver and tomato stews. Then we had small savory pastries stuffed with spinach and lamb. The whole meal was topped off with strong coffee and honey drowned pancakes.

I can't wait for the next journey!
