Food is strange -knedliky In sweet mango sauce or thick dill sauce. The partion of beef is tiny. There is No sauerkraut that should go with this dish. It was a huge disappointment. Beer is ok, but a bit bitter. On the plus side- the Service is amazing-nice waitresses caring for the hungry customer.

We had a great experience of local Czech cuisine. Food was delicious, fresh and the waiting time was not long at all. Only a few minutes until the soup was served and not many more for the second meal. There is a different menu for lunch until 15:00. They are serving dinner as well after 15:00. Visited that place for both lunch and during dinner time. Fully recommended. They have two options of tap bear and Kofola from the tap.
