We were looking for a nice quiet restaurant for lunch with our friends. We made a horrible mistake…read moreselecting this restaurant. While it clearly intends to provide a fancy experience, they seem to have forgotten that a restaurant is really about the food. I would like to say that food was great, however, there was hardly enough to make a reasonable judgement. We ordered the pork and they only had three portions so the fourth person had the lamb. They really only had enough for one person and split it between three. The lamb tasted great and was wonderful. The desert, a chocolate fondant, smelled and tasted wonderful. I can recommend this restaurant only if you are a gambler... you may have a great meal or, like us, you might find yourself getting a second lunch elsewhere to tide you over.

I stayed at the Hotel La Fresca on an overnight trip to Kroměříž,, and dined in-house at the…read moreRestaurace La Fresca. Small, cozy restaurant but they have a pretty decent sized patio where you can dine while enjoying the view of the picturesque town square. Some members of the staff speak a little English, so it wasn't too difficult to communicate. For dinner, I ordered the braised lamb with mashed potatoes and creamed spinach. It was a very healthy-sized portion and I have to say the flavors of that sauce from the braised lamb was divine! I always think of some Czech food as being kinda bland so I was very pleasantly surprised at the yumminess of this dish. The menu is seasonal based on fresh ingredients available from the local farms. And you can tell from the taste of the food - fresh produce! The price is well worth the amount of food you get - it's not too expensive. I would definitely revisit if ever in the area again.

Great Czech and grilled food! Weird picture menu but whatever. Solid cooking. As many restaurants…read moredon't cook at all. Have two types of smokers out back that they sometimes use. Right off the highway, next to a gas station but when your inside or outback under their covered seating, you never know of the outside world. Very relaxing lunch of traditional Czech and international food. Done right! Smoked meats to burgers to dumplings to duck to crackling spread, fish to tartare. Good unfiltered beers. Overall great lunch and fish. If I was in the area, I probably would have returned for dinner.

As you can see in the photos, it was very empty when we arrived, which was good. (We attempted a second visit later that week on a Saturday and we were turned away so be sure to make reservations on the weekend.) We had a few pints of beer and an order of the fried cheese and schnitzel, both very good. Fries were not very good but the butter potatoes (emphasis on the butter) were quite good though too filling since I focused on the slab of meat first. Outside, you have a nice view of people walking along and a Subway across the alley which is comical and unappetizing. Service was fast and efficient. Having come from Orange County, I understood that my gauge of "friendly service" had to be adjusted when in Czech, sort of like when you go to any Chinese restaurant anywhere in the world, including China. Bathrooms are clean. Dining area is very well-lit and attractive. Bar area seating is comforting. Menus available in English. Being my first time in Czech Republic and having a focus on beer and fried food, I was happy to make my way to Puor Zlin. I asked if I could be a tourist and take home a coaster. The bartender was kind enough to give me a stack of new ones from the back. One of our servers, a young girl, turned up at Budvarka down the street later that week when we attempted to dine at Puor Zlin on that busy Saturday night. She was consistently attentive both times. Both the server and bartender noticed that I spoke English and my friend spoke Czech, so when they came to our table, they spoke English to me and Czech to him which was nice. Is the food special? I'm not sure if I'm qualified to answer that question, but my friend who was born and raised in Czech most of his life said it was good and if anything, accurate. That said, I enjoyed the food and the service so take that for what it's worth. Point on Service: Culturally, it's rude to talk when you eat so be aware that they will leave you alone while you're eating. Don't misinterpret this as poor service. Point on Tipping: I understand that Czech is not a tipping country but things are changing so you won't insult anyone by leaving a modest tip, but 20% might not be necessary.
