The sauce seemed to have been made from a can (1 star off) as the diced tomatoes tasted different than the whole tomatoes that were added to the dish later; the whole tomatoes tasted way better. My husband got the pinsa alla diavola, which was like a spicy pepperoni pizza. It was fine, but reminded me of a pizza at a kids' birthday party (1 star off), maybe only slightly better. I made a reservation a month in advance, but did not know I had to specifically request for tables outside on the river. When we arrived, only a few outdoor tables were taken, but was told the rest were reserved, so we were seated indoors instead. When we finished our dinner, the same few outdoor tables were occupied. I don't know why the restaurant couldn't just stagger the guests for the outdoor tables according to their reservation times.

It was my second visit to Prague so I was taking my time to see more than the "must see things." As I said, I stumbled onto the restaurant because I was taking in the park where artists were painting, people were reading and I pulled out my phone to use the Merlin app to identify birds that were singing. It was totally picturesque. But I wasn't hungry. So I regretfully moved on without eating there. Imagine the elation a few days later when someone in our group booked a dinner reservation for us at the same place I was regretting having missed! With a group of a dozen of us, I think someone ordered everything on the menu. We were all thrilled. We had appetizers , cocktails and entrees -- everything we had was great! The restaurant is family-owned and we were treated to the son being a primary server for our group. Now and then dad was part of the picture too and we enjoyed the added dynamic. Pretty sure the son is on point for Americans as his English was on point. They were great hosts!

Once the lights came on the bridge and the castle, the whole scene was stunning - definitely one of the best dinner views in Prague. Service was excellent, very attentive and welcoming. We had a set meal and also ordered scallop and shrimp à la carte. The foie gras was a highlight - rich and perfectly done. My main course was pike fish, which was tasty, and the mashed potatoes with sliced tomatoes had amazing flavor. Dessert was fun with dry ice for a nice presentation. The only downside - the ravioli was too salty for my taste. Presentation overall was impressive, though, and the rest of the dishes were flavorful and well-executed. To have fine dining with a romantic view of the Charles Bridge, Mlýnec is definitely worth checking out.

I was warmly greeted immediately upon walking in and asked if I wanted to sit in the front or back of dining areas. I chose the back away from the door and windows to avoid any possible cold drafts. The decor was nice and the place had a few patrons. Prices were reasonable and I was surprised at their large selection of items. I chose the roasted duck with red cabbage and potatoe dumplings. Honey, I enjoyed everything on my plate. That duck was nicely seasoned and one of the best I've tasted in awhile. I was full and wasn't sure if I could handle dessert but my waiter, Mirick convinced me to try. He was a sweetheart, very professional. He told me to make sure I bring cash for tips because a lot of places in Prague dont let you add the tip with the bill using a debit/ credit card which I understand. Now back to that dessert. I ordered the powdered mini pancakes, blueberries, vanilla icecream with this delicious sauce. Uhmm uhmm I had to hide this protruding stomach when I stood up. Everything was well made and hit all the right spots. I would definitely check this spot out if you're in the area.

We decided to go with the tasting menu and wine pairing, and I'd absolutely recommend doing the same; it takes the guesswork out. Each course was very nice with Czech wines well matched and allows you to experience Czech wine and some Czech inspired dishes. The atmosphere was comfortable and a great spot for a date night or dinner. It's on the pricier side for Czech republic but still affordable, and the portions on a tasting menu won't satisfy someone looking for a big, heavy meal. Service was great. If you're in Prague and want a polished dining experience, and Zagat rated at that, La Veranda is worth it, especially if you go all in with the tasting and wine pairing.

To start I had the marinated salmon which was one of the best starters I have had. Complex flavours and textures are complimented by an appropriate chilli hit which brings the whole dish together perfectly. The coconut crumb was a touch of genius. Hubby had the fried peppers, they were 3 stuffed and fried peppers that he loved, I found the habanero too spicy for me. For mains I had the lamb, one of the best lamb dishes I have had. Perfectly cooked lamb, both sou vide and grilled. Accompaniments were delicious and the chilli hit of the perfect sauce made the dish sing. Hubby had the black pearl, love the theatre of it all...you sign a waiver and they present you with a tray of tissues, milk and vodka to ease the burn. The dish was beautifully presented. I managed 3 little tastes and my tummy burned for a long time after. Surprising, the flavors were excellent. Hubby ate most of it but he did suffer through it....definitely not for the faint hearted. I would be back often if I lived here! After dining at some of the worlds top rated restaurants...I can say that this is a true gem thay clearly has some mad genius at the helm, a person who understands delicate flavors and chilli and plates like a God.

My husband cannot handle spicy so I tried the habanero. I could only handle 2 bites before my mouth was on fire. For our entrees, my husband ate the chili con carne dish. Under the mashed potatoes there was some chocolate - interesting mix of flavors. I had the roast beef salad with papaya and honey mustard type dressing. We ended the meal with a chocolate tart. They provided pate and some bread "on the house" to start. I do not like pate so I didn't touch mine. The service was great overall. Great place if you want to try something other than goulash and the other Czech fare offered around town. Pro tip: they charge you for the bread basket if you eat a slice. It was like 10 crowns.

We're not experts on Czech foods but we know what good food tastes like and the Goulash was out of this world. Served in a bread bowl, the beef broth has deep flavors like it spent time stewing in herbs and vegetables. The meat was tender and flavorful. But the Roasted pork knuckle ( shoulder) Rustic style, mustard, fresh horseradish, garnish, bread, was the star of the show. A huge portion that could feed 3-4, the meat was fall of the bone tender and the crackling skin was eyes rolling back of head delicious! Excellent service.

The menu changes frequently but on this cold winter evening, we enjoyed the warm mushroom bisque, a grilled seafood dish with pasta, and the duck breast with gratin potatoes. I have never ordered duck before (other than confit on a salad) and this was "off the charts" delicious! Such a wonderful experience.
