Restaurant Na Křižovatce — Restaurant in Prague

Na Krizovatce is a typical czech pub in every sense of the term:

1. serves very solid draught beer (pilsner this good for only 55czk is a steal!)
2. the staff is a little bit unfriendly but 100% makes sure that your pint is never empty

If you are not Czech its very intimidating to walk in especially if you don't look Caucasian! But grit your teeth , use your google translate and order. The blonde older lady who served me was very short with me but she did warm up(a tad) later . As advised by non Czech speakers, just point. I paid 286CZK for 3 pint of Pilsenbeers and a Chickek Schitznel with boiled potatoes. Hands down the best Schitznel I had in the last 10 years. I don't know what magic they put into those potatoes but the texture and flavours just come so well together. This is one bar you will leave smelling line your food but if you are after a good feed without breaking a hole in your bank , this is a...
