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

Lime Electric Scooters arrive in Prague, Czech Republic
26th October 2018 update: Lime Scooters 'temporarily' banned by Prague 2. Apparently, Lime didn't ask Prague 2 before deploying the scooters also Prague 2 residents have been complaining about riding on pavements and leaving scooters in a random places. The Prague 2 website (in Czech) has the announcement http://urad.praha2.cz/V-rijnu-Prahu-2-zaplavily-elektrokolobezky.html I checked the Lime app this … Continue reading Lime Electric Scooters arrive in Prague, Czech Republic

Sia Restaurant, Prague, Czech Republic
11th March 2018 update: Another great meal at Sia last night; the 'duck with broth' dim sum were amazing.

Momoichi Japanese Coffeeteria/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
Momoichi opened in Vinohrady mid-2016. They actually call themselves a 'Coffeetearia' and I'm not sure if that is a deliberate misspelling in line with the trendy theme or simply a mistake. I'd pretty much ignored Momoichi until they announced they would be running a special dim sum day on Saturday 13th January 2018. We booked … Continue reading Momoichi Japanese Coffeeteria/Restaurant, Vinohrady, Prague, Czech Republic
