Gyllene Prag — Restaurant in Göteborgs Stad

My recent visit to Gyllene Prag in Gothenburg left me with mixed feelings and a sense of disappointment, prompting a rating of 2/5.

The restaurant, recommended by a friend, boasted a lively atmosphere and commendable service. However, the high price tag did not align with the overall dining experience. The appetizers, including camembert, pickled cucumber, and beef tartare, were "hit or miss". While the pickled cucumber and certain dishes performed adequately, the camembert lacked flavor, and the main courses were a letdown.

The porc knuckle was overcooked, dry, and tasteless, and the accompanying potato wedges lacked flavor. The schnitzel, though tasting okay, suffered from a lack of crispiness and was served cold. The double schnitzel, resembling a cordon bleu, fared better with a flavorful sauce but was marred by being slightly overcooked.

Despite the decent service and certain dishes performing okay, the high prices did not match the overall quality of the dining experience. The price-to-quality ratio left much to be desired, resulting in a disappointing overall impression and a 2/5 rating.

I would currently not recommend...

I love middle Europe! We are living in Norway, and everytime we come back from our trip through Hungary, Slovakia, Czech republic, Germany and sweeden we are Always sad that the European culture As a whole, disappears ín Norway. However, sweeden itself contains a whole lot of the middle European vibe, but in this very restaurant, we found Prague itself.

Started in 1973 by 4 Czechs who obviously wanted to bring the golden nectar to scandinavia, this place is 100% legit. We felt that we were in a Prague Svejk.

The beer: Tastes exactly the same As tapped in Prague itself, and is a place EVERY beer lover in Göteborg must visit.

I had Smazeny Syr (Yeah...I know 😍😍) and IT was fantastic with an amazingly fresh portion of cabbage and carrot, while my loved one had Smazeny Rizek (again....this was middle Europe in sweeden) and IT was cooked to perfection, juicy - we got a generous portion of tatarska omacka.

As a couple who were sad to leave the middle Europe from vacation, this place touched a special place in our hearts for middle...

SECOND UPDATE (1,5 years later): This is now my favorite go to restaurant. No matter how many guests there are, the staff is always ever so friendly, accommodating and observant. And the food is consistently delicious. I absolutely love it.

UPDATE (one year later): after having given this place a second (and a third) visit. I have now tried the pilsnerschnitzel and the gulasch, and boy oh boy was it delicious. Haven't dared to try the cevapcici again though. Changing from a 2 star rating to a 4.

I've visited a lot of restaurants in the past year, but this one is [hands down] in my bottom three. The service, facility and location was great, but the food was a disappointment. I ordered the cevapcici, and wasn't expecting magic, but these were most likely store bought cevapcici. Dry, hard and tasteless. My date did enjoy their schnitzel though.. I'll give it another go, though, because I see a lot of people...
