Opened in January this year, Levain is on Kozácká, a narrow street just between Havlíčkovy sady and the fashionable Krymská street area. We missed our visits to Levain while it closed for a Summer break - now we're happy Levain re-opened this week. The menu has been updated. Luckily, my favourite smoked duck breast (365Kc) is … Continue reading Levain Bistro re-opens with a fresh new menu

Hilton Hotel Prague
You can travel the World only to fall in love with the girl next door! And that's exactly how I felt after spending a Saturday night in the Hilton Prague. Who knew that such a great Hilton was so close? Here's my review. I try and book Hilton hotels, from Waldorf Astoria to Hampton Inn, … Continue reading Hilton Hotel Prague
Living Well Health Club at the Hilton Hotel Prague
We enjoyed our stay at the Hilton Prague (review here). The Living Well Health Club is also available to non-guests, albeit a quite a hefty price, so I'm reviewing it separately. If you're staying in an Executive Room in the hotel, you can wear your room bathrobes and slippers and head to the mezzanine floor. … Continue reading Living Well Health Club at the Hilton Hotel Prague

David Černý’s Miminka (Babies) return to the Žižkov Tower, Prague
The Žižkov Tower (Czech: Žižkovský vysílač) stands 216 metres (709 feet) tall and was built between 1985 and 1992. The Tower was designed by architect Václav Aulický and structural engineer Jiří Kozák. The design of the tower divides opinion among Prague residents - it certainly doesn't blend sympathetically with the architecture of Prague. Imagine that someone … Continue reading David Černý’s Miminka (Babies) return to the Žižkov Tower, 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
Yamato Japanese Restaurant, Prague

Above those there are six with a Bib Gourmand and two with a Michelin star. Our expectations, both in quality and price, were … Continue reading Yamato Japanese 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
