It is not easy to find a fantastic restaurant in Lipno nad Vltavou area, but in my opinion, the…read moreAdmiral gets pretty close. They have a cozy atmosphere both inside and outside, the service is excellent (if we pretend no seeing the cyclo-pants on a young waitress), and they are pretty creative for Lipno standards as well.
Coming for lunch, you would be pleased by a fresh and affordable menu (their soups are excellent, but the true is, that I am always nuts for good soups).
The standard dinner menu is nice as well, creatively adopting local seasonal food like chanterelles ("lisky") and blueberries, but offering also quail eggs and snails, for those of us who want to go this route. Their pancakes are delicious ("Domaci livance s jahodovou omackou", 89 Kc) as well as our traditional Czech meals ("svickova", "koprovka", "kachnicka").
The wine list is OK, full of bottles from good Moravian wineries, and although the waiter has not been using the sommelier serviette while presenting us a sparkling wine Chateau Radyne Extra Brut at 389 Kc, it tasted super nice in the sweet Lipno sunset.
We will be coming back. Often.
