Le Patio, Prague

Grand Restaurant Week . . .

Sophia Smith is a chef of some renown here in prague . . .

I will testify to the excellence of the little dimsum . . .and the singapore chilli crab . . . the mango mess desert was meh, to me . . . maybe just suffered in comparison . . . those dimsum were slippery little boogers tho', we all had to disdain the chopstix in favor of forks . . . the crabs were huge, meaty, and spiced to a fair-the-well . . . fortunately they had armed us with a complete arsenal of crab-eating utensils . . . 8^D . . . and covered us up in bib-aprons . . . it was messy fun, for sure . . . then the chef gave us these little packets of chilli as she had used with the crab . . . you can tell it's excellent, and let me assure you when we made chilli prawn flambe with it this weekend the results were very good . . .

Mood Café, Prague

it bein' dead of winter in prague and all, we just hadda go have some BBQ ribs over at mood cafe . . .course, in the middle of summer, we would say,

it bein' the middle of a scorchin' summer in prague and all, we just hadda go have some BBQ ribs over at mood cafe . . . 8^D . . . .still the best outside of East Texas  . . . .SheSoMoney complained they weren't as good as KC BBQ Ribs, but i have learnt just to keep quite in the face of delusions of non texas BBQ afficionados . . . what can you do . . . 8^D . . . mrs had the consommee' as a starter, done expertly . . . Big Red & I split some chicken wings . . . they were good, but I'd get my own order if I realized there was only 6 pieces . . .Big Red had Pasta . . . I forget what kind, but she complained that whatever kind it was they left out everything but the pasta, if you see how she means . . .

Mozaika, Vinohrady, Prague

One of our perennial favorites, Mozaika, for the 3 plate, fixed price meal . . .

 

Mrs had broccoli soup, grilled salmon on rice, and ice-cream-fruit-cup . . .

 

I had chicken & mushroom quiche (like no other place in Prague), pork shoulder sous vide (which is why I love that place), and a classic creme brulee (they called it lavender brulee) . . .

Sakura, cerna ruze, Prague

we are so glad our schedule allows us to get out to Sakura more often now . . . this time we had what they call on their new menu The White Plate, with tempura shrimp & chicken, some salmon crunch rolls, some salmon nigiri, and some sashimi (not really visible, terrible picture) . . . and further left on the plate was some sesame seaweed that was to die for . . . .started with gyoza, that we have seen before, and white wine for mrs and horka sake for me.

Aromi, Vinohrady, Prague

sometimes, when we go to Aromi, we don't even look at the menu, we know what we want  . . .

in this case, we knew we wanted seafood pasta . . .

in this case, Lobster . . .

the waiter talked us into a starter with just a few oysters . . . not Mrs' favorite, but yeh, once in a while . ... wanted some Louisiana Hot Sauce, did without . . .

just the lobster, pasta (as only Aromi makes it), and a shared green salad . . .

gud enuf . . .

Ola Kala, Vinoradhy, Prague

two 3-course, fixed price daily lunches for us . . . one of our new favorites . .  .have to get by for dinner some night . . .

 

Mrs had tomato soup, salmon with noodles, and sorbet. . .

I had  veal pate with homemade jam, au gratin cheese gnocchi, and flambeed crepes with orange chocolate sauce.

 

bravo.

Coyote Hamburger, Flora, Prague

neat interior . . . very modern, and, er, uh, American looking .  . .

hamburgers look very good, but we were of the opinion that the meat was not as fresh as we would like it . . . what is that taste, that spice? we wondered . . . oh . . . later . . . .
