AmyHuangA taste of Prague in Sydney
April 17th 2008 03:03
When I travelled to Prague in 2003, I loved the food. For AU$7 I got a whole plateful of Goulash that I wouldn't even finish and the beers were just as good as the local German beer I was having in Saarbruecken.
So when I got back, I was determined to source out all sorts of European cuisines in Sydney, and I found Prague Czech Beer Restaurant in Potts Point.
It's fancy. Well firstly, Potts Point is already a fancy suburb. Although closely linked to its seedier Kings Cross neighbour, there is a sense of class in Potts Point. The restaurant itself is also fancy. Beautiful decor and table settings tells the price on the menu won't match the local Prague prices at all, however it's fancy but welcoming. It's not snobby. The warm colours and the wooden tables and chairs used has a comfortable feel to the atmosphere, which adds to the dining experience.
They know they are good - Each table was occupied with happy diners and the numerous awards from the restaurant and catering associations are proudly mounted on the walls, making me convinced this is worth it.
On the menu are some of the Czech favourites: Beef Goulash; roast Pork Knuckle; Smoked Pork Ribs and roasted Doung duck, each listed with their Czech language equivalent, making your mouth water as you read.
I ordered the Goulash, figured that this simply peasant dish was a good start to test if the restaurant really is any good. The goulash came with white bread dumplings that I loved in Czech Republic and the aromatic smell of the spices in the goulash made my stomach grumble instantly.
I wasn't sure if my having experienced the cuisine in Czech Republic had made me more critical of the taste however as much as it looked and was presented well, the goulash seemed to be lacking a certain flavour I thought I remember. It's not extremely bad, in fact, the flavours were very good. It wasn't too heavy, it wasn't too light, yet there is something I was looking for that wasn't there.
The beers were however still as refreshing and crisp, and is a perfect combination for the goulash dish. And the friendly service made it all the better.
Vegetarian options are available and a special menu especially recommended for beer lovers has great selection of food for the peckish. Those who do like their beer will love the restaurant's extensive offering. My personal recommendation would be the Krušovice Lager on tap.
