Must try eats in Czech Republic

Roasted Pork Knee,  Prague, Czech Republic

It was a trip full of eating. Mostly meat but delicious, nonetheless. Here are my must-try eats in Czech Republic:

• In New Town, we discovered an ultra-delish Strawberry-Banana soft-serve ice cream in Ovocný Světozor. Super great value and super yummy!

• Roasted Pork Knee—pretty much anywhere, but we had the one in Old Prague Restaurant. Delicious with gravy!

• Potato dumplings—usually a side dish for pork dishes

• Beef Tartare (tatarák)—we tried the one in Lokál Dlouhááá and it was great! Hubby says it was probably his best meal in our trip. We rubbed fresh garlic onto some toast and spread the fresh, minced raw beef mixed with onions and spices. Melts in your mouth and best with beer! Note that raw beef should not be taken without considering there is a risk of bacterial contamination so be wary. We were fine, though, and we ate at a trusted establishment.

Of course, no trip to the Czech Republic is complete without beer. After all, Czech Republic has the highest beer consumption per capita in the world. We tried the Pilsner Urquell (brewed in Plzeň, Czech Republic and is the world’s first blond or pale lager), Staropramen (brewed in the Smíchov district), Kozel (produced since 1874), and the Sv. Norbert from the Monastery Pivovar.
