This restaurant was one of the three recommended establishments for having some traditional and authentic Czech cuisine when we inquired about it at the Český Krumlov Information Center when we first arrived in this historic town in south Bohemia with the Moldau snaking through it.

We walked to the restaurant from the castle hill during our excursion, but you could get here by car. There is a parking lot nearby for your convenience. As for the location, this restaurant is a bit out of the way from the town center. We noticed the building was massive and very dark inside, but that was well-fitted with this brewery from 16th century (1560?). Brewery tour was not conducted due to COVID-19 health protection measures.

We opted to get a table in the court yard though it was a little breezy. When we sat down at the table we were served immediately (actually one of the nice servers took us out to the courtyard since we entered the establishment from the restaurant entrance). The servers were friendly and prompt. My beef goulash was perhaps a little lukewarm, but it was tasty nonetheless. I can't say it was the best I ever had, but it was good. In fact, I had a very good beef gulasch recently in the Lake Region in Austria. I must say I was a bit thrown off by the appearance of "bread dumpling" here. It looked like pieces of bread in oblong shape (photo), and they certainly were pieces of white bread?! I wasn't expecting that at all??

I thought prices were fairly reasonable here. You can pay with your credit card, so it makes it very convenient. If you want to pay with cash, you could pay in euro instead of exchanging it to the local currency. It seems every time you exchange currency, you'll end up losing some in the process anyway. Most of the touristy places, you can use your credit cards these days. Some places, though, they will insist on cash to my chagrin.

I would recommend this restaurant to those who are looking for an authentic experience with traditional Czech food. I'm sorry, but I think it's really about 3.5 for me.
