Pas Partout - the late lamented of Prague

Pas Partout is no more.
They were so reliable that we relied on it.
They were so close that we took it for granted, just at the sea-monster fountain where Americka and Zahrebska intersect.
They were so friendly that we considered them friends, not restauranteurs.
It was so ambient sitting out front by the fountain we thought the summer days would go on forever.
 We relied on it as a place we could go on the spur of the moment, just across the street without giving up any quality of experience.  During Restaurant week 2009 in Prague we went over there to see what they would do. Started with Salmon Tartare & toast Points.
 Then they served a Salmon Mouse Creme Brulee -- a little bit challenging, for us . . . 8^D

Then a standard, comforting boeuf bourgaignon ... hmfph. . . .pardon my french.

Now I am happy to say I think we have adopted Mozaika for this role in our lives, which it fills very well. We may not ever take them for granted, since we have lost Pas Partout . . .It's so wrenching, if you see what I mean, to lose . . . not to say, the favorite, necessarily, but the old-stand-by.
