The main course is Veal fillet fried in butter, fine mashed potatoes and chard, or Zander with smoked velouté, dill, chive oil, beets, salicornia and potatoes, or Steak of roasted cauliflower, wild broccoli, cauliflower puree and hazelnut relish with pecorino. And finally, you can taste Czech classics as a dessert - Ducat buns with vanilla cream. Enjoy your meal!
