Local food – on the road

Thursday, November 19th, 2009

This week I am in Prague at a conference. One of the benefits of this kind of travelling is that you can spend some time playing tourist and checking what is in the bars and restaurants. I was determined to try and walk into the city centre, rather than missing the sights by using the metro. The thirty minute or so walk, was more than worth it, interesting buildings and finally the eateries.

Local food

The menu outside one place looked very promising, so I headed down the stairs into an old brick cellar. I ordered a starter which was advertised as a pickled cheese and then pork with sauerkraut and potato dumplings. This came out with a couple of local beers and was truly a great meal, though very hearty, the walk back would certainly be needed after finishing this.

Unfortunately, one of my fellow countrymen did not follow my lead, but ordered spaghetti carbonara. Sometimes I wonder :)
