- Le résumé -

I don’t remember who recommended this one to me but it was THE GOOD NEO BIRSTROT PICK of the stay. Perfect service! Cozy atmosphere, smart cooking, a nice establishment.

- Lieu -

Located on the outskirts of the touristic center, but not far either, there is a metro and tram stop just there.
The space is large and it was far from being full that night, but that’s a good thing, there’s room: the tables are pleasant, good seats.
There was some lounge-jazzy music but not in a schmaltzy way, usually I don’t like it at all but in this case it was alright, the volume was good and the music was good enough to accompany the meal, and not kill it .

- L'équipe -

Round of applause: our waiter was not only francophone and anglophone ( my Czech friends told me that it was a rare thing in such a young person to be perfectly tri-lingual) but also very nice, and very professional! He told me he had worked a while in France actually.
He gave good advice for the menu, and the quality of his service was noted- present but not obnoxiously so. He was working with another waiter which was also very good.

- Le repas -

Apéritif
We started with a lemonade, in Czech Republic there are monstrous and terribly good, for someone who has a fondness for lemon such as me, it was awesome.

-I chose the “sous vide” salmon ( slow cooking at a low temperature), pumpkin and ginger (?) purée, gratin dauphinois and pumpkin seed oil.
You know the story, in Paris I avoid salmon when I can, I don’t see the point. Here, the waiter assured me it was good salmon, so I went for it. Delicious salmon and well cooked, good purée, nice gratin, correctly seasoned mixed green salad, a classic bistrot dish but executed really well, healthy and with no excess fat. I was completely won over by the dish, especially since usually I’m suspicious of these types of dishes, so my happiness was only better for it.
I also took a glass of white wine which was totally acceptable, but I forgot to write down which one.

– dessert
C’est servi chaud et délicieux.
The traditional dessert: Švestkové knedlíky, or plum”balls”. These balls can be cooked as a savory or sweet dish. The dough can be made with cream cheese ( tvarohové), potato ( bramborové) or leaven flour, inside: plums, on top: poppy seeds.
It’s served warm and delicious.

With dessert I got a Czech digestif: la becherovka. The myth says that no one knows the recipe of this precious elixir concocted with about 20 plants. Very pleasant, not very strong in my opinion.

- Le bilan -

The good pick of the stay: warm and professional customer service, comfort, quality food, and simplicity in its terms ( the chef goes straight to the point, doesn’t overdo it).
And the prices are perfectly acceptable, it was 2000 korunas  for 4, so 500 per person: 20 euros per person.
