Today is my conclusion of my travels through Prague. I have mixed feelings about Prague, due to it's all together beauty rolled in the grotesque nature of the people that visit this charming city. I am not referring to the Czech people, of course not! Most of the people of Prague have summer homes to escape to during this time when the city behaves like a European Vegas. It's the people that feel like they can behave however they feel because they are away from home that I am repulsed by. Once you start to ignore the men in "stag" parties shouting and pounding on the glass window of your cafe while you're enjoying a glass of wine with your company (in a beautiful 1920's Parisian Art Deco cafe) you start to enjoy your experience here in Prague. It's once you step outside of the Cafe into the dark night that you want to walk on the most lit up side of the street.
The best part about Prague? I ate like a Queen, for very little money too! The restaurants here really know how to present the food! Here are some of my recommendations for an exquisite dining experience in Prague:
The Kavarna Slavia Cafe`
Across the street from the National Theatre, perfectly situated on the river over looking the Charles Bridge leading the way to Prague Castle. A heavenly 1920's Parisian Art Deco cafe` with a sweet old piano man to greet you with a smile. If you are lucky enough to grab a table by the window, you will be rewarded with a splendid view of the river and the castle. The wine is superb, and during strawberry season be sure to try one of the many treats on their seasonal menu.
Bella Vista, Strahov Monastery
After a well worth it steaming hike up the hill towards the Monastery, we were able to eat our lunch (and cool down) looking over the entire city of Prague. It's a beautiful sight!
FISH
A quaint little restaurant in a courtyard on the side of the Vltava River. We shared the most amazing, juicy, herb seasoned Chicken Breast with fresh mozzarella cheese, and lemon. After the entree` be sure to split one of their desserts! The portions are perfect for 2-3 people and the dessert chef, I have to say is absolutely brilliant!
CAFE` LOUVRE
Photos posted down below, see for yourself and you'll understand why I recommend this incredible restaurant. This pretty Parisian restaurant was built in 1902 and was favored by Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka.
