It's hard to find a good florist. I don't want to buy flowers only to find them dead after a few days. You may remember my poor experience with Belles Fleurs who not only sold me flowers that died a few days later, they also refused to refund me. Luckily I found a new shop … Continue reading Cool Flowers, Vinohrady, Prague

Bowling v továrně (Bowling Factory), Prague 4
Bowling v továrně isn't posh. The pins are on strings. The lanes and balls are a bit lumpy. But it's my favourite bowling alley in Prague! The place used to be a textile factory. Now it has four bowling lanes, table football and some electronic darts games. The scoreboards are automatic. You don't need to … Continue reading Bowling v továrně (Bowling Factory), Prague 4
Modrý anděl Taxi Service in Prague
Modrý anděl (Blue Angel) started out (I'm guessing) 15 years ago, as a 'we'll drive you and your car home' service. That was pretty popular, especially in a country where the alcohol limit for driving is zero. They then expanded into a regular taxi service. I'm not sure when the Apple/Android booking app with GPS … Continue reading Modrý anděl Taxi Service in Prague
Zátiší Group wishes me Happy Birthday – although it’s not like the old days
Zátiší Group have several restaurants in Prague; Bellevue (the flagship), V Zátiší, Mlýnec, Žofín Garden and Café Rudolfinum. Over twenty years ago, their portfolio was better. There also weren't as many places to choose from back then. Bellevue and V Zátiší were still there, but across the river there was also a small luxury place called U … Continue reading Zátiší Group wishes me Happy Birthday – although it’s not like the old days

Lasagneria Restaurant, Prague
Lasagneria, as the name suggests, specialise in home-made Lasagne dishes - they also have a Cannelloni. The clever name and logo is visible from the street. And the place looks inviting, especially on a cold dark Sunday (27th Jan) evening. The interior is nicely decorated with an interesting string ceiling that could easily be a … Continue reading Lasagneria Restaurant, Prague
Levain Bistro, Prague
I'm still ashamed that it took a year before we visited QQ Asian Kitchen, so when I heard that Levain had opened last Wednesday (23rd Jan), I made sure I booked a table for Saturday night. Levain is on Kozácká, a narrow street near the fashionable Krymská street area. The place doesn't yet have a sign, … Continue reading Levain Bistro, Prague
