La Gare - Rabbit "Marengo" baked with tomatoes

Brasserie La Gare, just like the name implies, is just steps away from the Namesti Republiky metro…read morestation and is also close to many tourist attractions. It is indeed in a touristy area, but after having walked a few dozen miles in Prague already, on the last night, close proximity and convenience trumps everything else. We made a reservation online and when we arrived we were promptly led to a table in white tablecloth right next to the window in the dining room. For appetizer, we shared a dozen SNAILS - yes, in Prague, even in a French restaurant, they call them snails, not escargots. In fact, Central Europeans had a long tradition of eating snails even before the French made this delicacy famous. The escargots, ok..., snails, were cooked in rich garlic butter mixed with parsley (that's what the green stuff is just in case you are wondering.) They were delicious, and almost as good as those from the streets of Paris. The CHATEAUBRIAND was brought to us on a carving board together with bone marrow, side dishes of vegetables and mashed potatoes, and a sauce boat full of yummy peppery gravy. Our server carved the beef nicely and plated the dishes meticulously at our table side. The beef was melt-in-your-mouth tender and very flavorful. We could easily tell this was top quality filet mignon and nothing less than the best cut. For the side dishes, I particularly liked the mashed potatoes which tasted like they were made with fresh and naturally creamy potatoes. The peppercorn sauce was rich but not overwhelming, subtly complementing the natural flavor of the steak. Service was 5-star throughout our meal. It began with a complimentary "water melon with bacon" palate cleanser, and ended with complimentary house-made chocolate at the conclusion of our meal. Service was attentive, friendly, prompt but not rushed, and literally white-glove throughout the night. You want me to give you a reason for visiting Brasserie La Gare, or Prague in general? This meal, including two large beers and two glasses of reasonably good wine, cost less than CZK 2,000 which is about US$90. Wanna go?

We were so looking forward to dinner at your beautiful restaurant, which I booked many months in…read moreadvance on my daughter's recommendation. At first we were thrilled with our server's recommendations and excellent attention, as well as with the cocktails, food, and gorgeous ambiance. The problem occurred toward the end of the evening. Our server cleared our dishes and asked if we were interested in dessert. We said we would be happy to consider the choices. He left us and got busy with another party, which we understood, so waited for about 20 minutes. One of his colleagues passed by and we mentioned that we were waiting. We saw her tell our server, who still did not make time to check in with us. After waiting even longer, one member of our party--originally from England, which becomes important later--got up, found the server, and asked if we could get the dessert menu. Finally he came to our table. He did not apologize for the wait (all he needed to say was that he had gotten swamped, and we would have been fine with that small explanation). Instead, he said, "The hardest part is waiting," mentioned there is no actual dessert menu, then left and came back with a board showing us some of the desserts, explaining what they were. He was obviously irritated with us and so we opted to end the evening and asked for the check. He brought it quickly and pointedly explained that we could tip him. We were uninterested in rewarding his rudeness and did not tip him. Then he insultingly said to our English friend, who was paying: "I didn't think you had an American accent." This was so unprofessional. We go out of our way to be gracious when we travel, not wanting to be seen as "ugly Americans." We tip almost everyone and generously. Your server's increasing rudeness and growing irritation with us was completely uncalled for, and we are so disappointed to have this memory of an otherwise wonderful few days in your beautiful city.

This place had been recommended to me, so I put it in our list of places to try. It is a medieval…read moretavern with a pretty good menu. The interior really feels medieval, but during the day they keep the door open. We were seated near the door and somehow it felt too bright, if that makes any sense. There was a stone staircase that led you to a locked for, and another that led down to two rooms. Straight ahead was ared-lit dungeon with a skeleton. In one side was a small dining room, and in the other side was a room that looked like a medieval banquet room. Neither of the downstairs rooms were being used. I'm the dining room we're tables and chairs, and long tables with benches there were fur pelts in all the seats. We ordered a beer and a pitcher of lemonade, some garlic soup (Lawd have mercy, it was GOOD), and some goulash. Everything was really delicious. If you are in this area of Prague, this is a good place to stop in, especially for the garlic soup if you just want a small bite. I'm not sure if it's worth a special trip.

Tried the beef option. It was so so…read more But the main problem is that some of the people working here are complete human garbage with no redemption of any kind. I encountered a sudden unforeseen family emergency. We just finished dining at this establishment and I asked for their help from one of the personnel, who spoke English. All I asked for is for help contacting the police, as I had a cellular coverage issue and also was under complete duress. Instead of helping me the guy started belittling me, deriding and practically laughing at me and wouldn't call the police himself. I finally just asked him to tell the police phone number. After arguing with me for absolutely no reason, even though this was about a missing child, he provided me with 155 number, which I later learned was a medical emergency phone number and not police. I have no words for that piece of garbage.
