To the rich dumpling in Prague
The Eating Prague Tour it's like enjoying one of those seven-course menus at an expensive restaurant, only walking the city center in the process . And when we refer to the city center we mean prague , Rome , London , amsterdam , What are they the other cities where this team dedicated to gastronomic tourism operates . Its traveling menu will include starters, drinks, first courses, second courses and desserts; and in them you will always find the closest possible offer to the local gastronomy.
Focusing on the capital of Czech Republic, your guides walk you around the city to discover the best open sandwiches (a kind of cover adapted to the northeast of Europe and of which they claim their authorship), the dumplings so typical of the country (with their meat, their puree and their cream), the sausage of the area, intellectual cafes Hats off, chocolates with sweets and of course Pivo (beer!!!) .
Yes we tapas!
It's not just about filling the crop with causa seasoning; can also be learned in the process . The host is not one of those guides with a microphone spitting lines like a grated record in front of a bus . He is a person who talk with visitors , answer your questions and, what is more important, knows the historical context and knows all the local gossip : the dessert prepared by Napoleon's chef or which chef has just set up his own restaurant to qualify for the next Michelin star. More than the place to visit, premium the product to eat . It is what is known all life as an insider.
Fine delicatessen in Prague
reveals secrets to you that family that makes homemade pâté and blackberry wine in a flirtatious furniture store or delicious soup to try in a high class restaurant, hidden at the top of one of those towers old that tourists photograph without knowing the gastronomic jewel of its interior. Its recommendations are extended to any area of the city, not strictly to the seven tasting dishes, so the tour becomes a good portrait of the current Prague and also of the past.
Delicious soup in a mysterious place in Prague
Leona is the main promoter of the Prague Food Tour , an alternative that, oddly enough, also offers a complete review of the country's gastronomy without being repetitive. It is not exclusive to do both tours. Her guide is genuinely interested in world cultures and cuisines her, for what she knows how to build bridges with the foreign palate. In fact, her route is somewhat more cosmopolitan, including a wine and cheese tasting always with a local flavor.
What is happiness? Cheese and wine
One of her star stops is one of those restaurants that maintain the aesthetics of communist times and in the good work of the old taverns. Leona will explain to you the importance that the Czechs give to the relationship between beer and foam and she will propose you to try řezané, the result of mixing a good blonde beer with dark beer . All this surrounded by good portions to snack on and bread from the area.
Something that this tour pays attention to is the tradition of alcohol and spirits such as cocktails based on Becherovka (its best-known herbal liqueur) or good absinthe. Luckily, on the tour you can fill your stomach with food, although you also have to remember that it is a tasting where no one is forced to try everything nor e finish all the rations or glasses. A cocktail bar open expressly for diners on this tour shows the process of creating the famous absinthe, that so many delusions and poems she starred among the poets of the nineteenth century.
With beer everything tastes better
Nor can the mythical dumplings be missing , in one of the bohemian Art Nouveau cafes. The tour of the basic gastronomy of the place is not the only one offered by Leona, who has also designed one through the local markets and the most authentic products in the city without having to set foot in the center of Prague.
