True to its name, a huge tulip picture adorns one wall of the restaurant. The restaurant itself it not large, but does have a nice cozy atmosphere. The hot chocolate was rich and decadent. Served with a generous amount of whipped cream, this was perfect for a very cold night. The Chicken Consomme was served with noodles and vegetables. The broth was a deep, rich color with a lot of flavor. We were super hungry and in the mood for steak, so we ordered a 1 KG beef rump steak from South America. You can choose to have your steak flambéed in front of you using 15 year old rum. While it sounds good for a smaller piece of meat, choosing to do so on a steak this size was a horrible mistake. Our waiter almost insisted upon flambéing this huge Fred Flintstone piece of meat in front of us. For one thing, the cooking surface never got hot enough. He kept apologizing for the length of time, and kept pressing the crap out of it in order to get it to cook faster. All of the juices were running out of the steak faster than Usain Bolt in the 100 meter dash. Once the steak was finished, the presentation was magnificent as it was served on a huge sword. Mashed potatoes and grilled vegetables, and steak sauce was also served on the side. The Chocolate Souffle was served with a "forest fruits" sauce, which really covered most of the plate. This was not a soufflé but more of a flourless chocolate cake. The cake had a rich chocolate flavor, but was not as gooey as one would hope. The Crème Brulee had more of a flan type consistency, as it was not smooth as crème brulee should be. It was on the lighter side as well. Service was great, although somewhat overbearing as our waiter appeared to be trying too hard. The food was pretty good for the most part. My only suggestion should a party want a larger cut of meat with the flambee is to sear and mostly cook the steak in the kitchen, then bring it out table side to finish with the flambee. That way cooking time would be shorter, and the staff won't diminish what is a good quality steak.

The train was last by 30 mins and it was announced on the wrong track (although I believe this was mostly CZD since they tent to make very few announcements about Ragiojet trains and they manage the trains in the stations in, to and from the Czech Republic). We had to wait outside in the sun for the train to be cleaned. The train was super hot and it was almost unbearable to be inside. The cooling system was broken, but the staff was nice enough to explain that. Still that doesn't change the fact that when they did not offer any free cold drinks and only now 15 mins before Brno hnl did they ask if someone wanted to buy anything else. Still better than CZD.

Note there is not much shade in this area and Popice is a sleepy town, but it a great day trip. In the distance you can see the lake and hills. Many cyclists if you can find a rental is a great way to visit multiple wineries. This is the larger of the local vineyards. A great deck to enjoy your samples at reasonable prices. I enjoyed the young/fresh bottles; muscat and plava. Both have a unique herbal finish, which has grown on me. First time for a dry reisling. Also tried the sauvignon. I prefer the later two with a meal. Some snacks for purchase so I suggest bringing a picnic. A few restaurants near the train station, but according to Google most serve dinner only.

I'm not a fan of this energy drink or most energy drinks like it, but it's better than some of the others, and they make a good effort to make it actually good for you rather than some of the energy drinks that are utterly toxic to your body.
