Prague: U Orloje (September 2004)

My spouse and I dined at U Orloje for dinner in late September 2004. Directly facing the world famous Old Town Astronomical Clock is the U Orloje restaurant. It is located in the U Modre Hvezdy house (At the Blue Star) which has an early Baroque facade and Roman foundation. The atmosphere of this unique ancient place is enhanced with an extensive collection of antique clocks that are part of the restaurant interior, and with pleasant folk music. This stylish enterprise offers tasty meals from both Czech and international cuisines, as well as quality wines. Besides traditional Czech dishes like the boar ragout with plum sauce served with potato rosti and fried slices of bacon or the trout fillet, lemon roasted with potatoes and cherry tomatoes also international dishes such as the cheesy bacon cheeseburger with two kinds of cheese and fries, and the quesadilla with grilled chicken thighs, onions, peppers and cheddar are to be found on the menu. When you feel hungry while sightseeing in the heart of Prague, you will know where to stop.
