Czech Cuisine

Sure it wouldn't it be justice at all, to have a pub in Prague and not serve up some of the delicious dishes that this beautiful city has to offer.

As such, Molly is happy to prepare some of the best in traditional Czech cuisine. Of course, it's not really a chore as Bohemian dishes are perfect for any pub and go down a treat with a clean, crisp, golden Czech lager (and there's none better than Molly's and that's for sure!)

A little known fact is that the dish known to the world as Wiener Schnitzel (Vienna Schnitzel) is actually a traditional Czech dish, which was brought to Vienna in the 1800s by young Czech girls who were going to work in the kitchens of various noble households in the Empire's capital.

Its Czech name is "Rizek" and has been a firm favourite in Bohemia for hundreds of years. In accordance with this tradition Molly has prepared a delicately flattened and breaded piece of the leanest pork, gently crumbed with her home made bread and slow fried to perfection... it has to be tasted to be believed.

(Molly's tip: try this with a freshly poured pint of cider, the combination of the sparkling apple tingle with the soft pork is a genuine taste sensation!)

Next to Rizek, one of the Czech's best known meals is goulash (or gulas), although a Hungarian dish in origin, the Czechs have long been making goulash with their own special slant - for example using beer as base for the sauce is one Czech innovation (and sure it's hardly surprising now is it!).

Served with dumplings in the traditional Czech fashion, Molly's goulash uses the most tender pieces of lean beef which are cooked in her goulash sauce, ensuring the fullest, mouth-watering, flavour possible. This meal is delicious with Czech beer (sure isn't that what it's made for!) but is also excellent with Guinness as the extra hops compliment the meal's paprika delightfully.
