Prague, Progressive Feast

What has 37 ingredients, is 8 years old and is from Geneva?
The sauce on my Entrecôte at this restaurant.

Yes we are in Prague right now eating at Cafe de Paris, but it comes recommended in Where Chefs Eat and from our Taste of Prague tour guides. The sauce was delicious served with beef, french fries, and a salad with sinus clearing horseradish dressing. And our servers were endearing.

Now back to our Taste of Prague tour. We spent 4 amazing, taste bud tickling hours on this tour. Our guides were a delight. Not only did we taste prague food, but we received a good helping of Czech history and warm hospitality.

We started at Cestr, where meat is the main course, every part. And the menu changes twice a day based on fresh ingredients. There must have been 15 different dishes on our table. My favorites were the chicken with stuffing and truffle sauce, fried cheese, and golden muscle (cut of beef) with goose fat sauce.

This restaurant butchers their own meat. The meat is brought in from a local provider and it is stored in-house. Those numbers on the glass refer to the age of the cow and the number of days the meat has been aged.

After the meat course we shared some sweet items. Ice cream and sweet poppy seed rolls in a vanilla foam. These rolls are a typical Czech item that may be served as a meal. Sweets for a meal, I'm game!

We then went for a walk down Wenceslas square to our next stop to try typical Czech fast food, an open faced sandwich with a variety of toppings. A few typical items include potato salad as a spread (instead of mayo) and a Czech pickle.

At Choco Cafe we had these lovely little pastries that are only made by one bakery in the country. Only 2 people know the recipe. "They say" they are not allowed to travel on a plane together. You dip them in the chocolate. Or you can drink a whole cup full of the chocolate.

Here our tour guides and group enjoyed the last hour together. This was the perfect way to spend our first official day in Prague. Our guides were fantastic, sharing their perspective and enthusiasm for Prague. When you're in Prague I highly recommend a Taste of Prague tour!
