Finding the best Svíčková na Smetaně in the city — a personal search

I spent three months trying every version of Svíčková na Smetaně I could find locally. The variation in quality is extraordinary. The best version handled pork knuckle with genuine knowledge and the rich and filling result was noticeably superior.

Czech cuisine is inseparable from beer culture, one of the world's highest per-capita consumption nations. The winning restaurant had the right a Prague pub restaurant feel — unpretentious and focused on the food. Czech Pilsner Urquell was suggested correctly. Worth the search. When Svíčková na Smetaně is made properly it's a completely different experience.
