Dining out in Prague: The Elegant Bellevue Restaurant
The Bellevue is a great restaurant with higher prices than most in the city, but Prague is still known as one of the cheapest international cities for fine dining, so you might be pleasantly surprised by the menu, even if you are on a bit of a budget. The place is situated in a brick building with a turret, so it resembles a castle in a way, and has an elegant interior complete with thick velvet curtains and views of the river and the Prague castle visible from the lavishly appointed tables. The staff here makes everyone feel like royalty, and the service is all about attention to every detail of each customer’s needs. If you are there for a business dinner, your colleagues will feel more important than every; and if you are there for a romantic date, your date will feel as though she is the queen of the evening. The wine list is extensive and includes many good buys - Prague does have some wonderful wines of its own. And the goose, lobster, sturgeon, deer, and beef offer a whole selection of typically rich but flavorful local dishes of the finest caliber. The prices at the Bellevue are fixed, meaning that you pay one price and it includes three courses. For dessert the crŠme brulee and chocolate mousse are most popular, but you can also choose walnut ice cream or berries and cognac with ice cream. Call ahead for reservations, especially on weekend nights.
