Some things just look better than they taste and this was the case. Set atop a little hill with a…read moresomewhat obstructed view of the ugly side of Prague is this fine establishment. One that seems to have existed her for decades, perhaps centuries. The outdoor garden seating is serene. Birds chirping in the back, little to no background noise all under the shade of tall leafy trees. With the gentle breezes from the wind you pickup notes of earthiness, flowers and scents of the surrounding greenery. That's about where the high stops.
I had the special pork dish with sauerkraut and potato dumplings of some sort. My better half had the infamous dumplings. All this paired with a cold pint of local beer and some bubble, fruity alcoholic concoction. If there's one thing Czech's do right is alcohol but I can't use that as merit for this review because it's obviously bought and not made on site.
Anyhow, the pork was porky but without any herbs, spices and lacked seasoning overall. What really made it worst was it's dry, stringy and extremely tough texture. Every bite was a struggle. The potato dumplings also had strange textures of a dish washing sponge. Though I've never chewed on one before I would imagine that's how it would be; tough, chewy, dry and slight abrasive. It even resembled one if you look closely! LOL The sauerkraut was the only high in this dish and it too was bland. The dumplings were equally uninspiring. Flavourless, texture-less and overall just plain boring as it can be. If you had closed your eyes while eating, you probably can't tell what it is and what is inside.
