I had the "Svicková" sirloin of beef with dumplings. Loved the gravy and the dumplings. A flavorful meal.

Definitely your typical hearty Czech food with the focus on game meats. It's always funny to say this as a tourist yourself, but all the other customers being Czech was validating. A review here from a couple years ago said foreigners were charged different prices, which would be wildly unacceptable but at least no longer appears the case: the English+Russian menu we had was just as lengthy as the Czech menu and several spot checks revealed the same prices.

They have non-smoking and smoking sections, a lovely garden patio for outdoor dining, and menus in English and CZ. The food was reasonable priced, well-prepared, delicious and the wines and beers were very good. I would highly recommend ... it is a long but beautiful quiet walk on a broad path up and past the castle.

For me, U Janu is the best Czech restaurant I have had. I ordered the traditional mushroom soup…read morewith potato and stewed beef in cream sauce with bread pudding. I have certainly tried these dishes at other Czech places before, but somehow this place manages to one-up them. The way they do so is by increasing their flavor output. The mushroom soup tastes much denser with stronger cream flavors. The stewed beef's cream sauce is also much smoother and with a stronger flavor. What I really liked about this place is that they also serve Kofola, which is a kind of Coca Cola served during the period when Czech was still under communist rule. They could not have Coca Cola so they invented something similar. The taste is much more lemony and different. Lastly, you should try the sweet coffin (named so because the dessert literally is shaped like a coffin with cream on top). Enjoy!

They make pizza right behind the counter! You can see it all being made. Careful when you order meat dishes, the chicken dish we ordered apparently charged for sauce and also the side dish that the waiter suggested you get with it. Pizza had thin crust, very good. We also ordered other spaghetti and tagliatelle dishes. All tasted delicious.

The service was excellent. We are from the US and the price was very reasonable. It is beautiful inside an out in the old fashioned rustic lodge decor style. The goulash is wonderful and goes perfectly with french fries and beer. During our travels in Czechia I became very fond of goulash and beer and this places does goulash very very well. There is goulash and the next day goulash soup, it is very tasty and definitely not too spicy. They also serve an excellent trout - a whole fish. The salads were excellent too.

We interacted with one waiter and two waitresses and they were all unfriendly. One came up to the people at the adjacent table, who had only recently arrived, and when they weren't ready to order, she rolled her eyes. They probably didn't see it, but I did, and it went along with the general bitchy attitude of the place. I'd far rather spend my money elsewhere. Not to mention that since they will not let you order side dishes by themselves (?!!), literally the only vegetarian meal option is a "choice " of three different fried cheeses. I love meat, but that's just dumb. Also, not everyone wants to look at a photo of a gutted pig while they eat.
