Café Savoy, Prague
After an overnight train journey, Prague greeted us with a morning peak and rainy weather. Wasting no time we went to the hotel and then, with the acquired map, started our first walk through the streets of the Czech capital. I was looking for a place for a romantic breakfast in advance. The blog Taste of Prague helped us to find a place where we decided to go, one coffee shop drew my attention. On the way we're passing nice, still closed shops which you do not encounter often in Warsaw - haberdashery, antiques. I was charmed by one of the streets, all built with high houses, each in a different color.
It started to rain, so we accelerate and soon we are on the spot. Located on the corner of an inviting house and kept in old-fashioned style cafe gives the impression of a quiet, romantic place - just like I love.
We're going inside, it's completely different than I expected. It's crowded and terribly noisy - clanging dishes, talking clients. While we're waiting until someone approaches us, we have a moment to look at the interior. The cafe is large, and the mirrors hanging on the walls make it seem to be even more specious. In front of the entrance is a counter, where meals are prepared, and nearby - fresh bread and a refrigerator with a deliciously-looking cakes. On the left side are stairs leading to a balcony with few tables. I fift my head and notice a enormous ceiling, looking like an ancient palace - colored in beautiful pattern, and the two crystal chandeliers. Downstairs are two lounges, in the main one waiters pass us every moment, and other hidden little behind. It's calmer there, on the walls of the wooden shelf stand bottles of wine.
Immediately comes to us maitre, the stuff is elegantly dressed. We booked a table, otherwise we wouldn't be able to stay here, the place is very popular. We're sitting by the window, it's quite tight, there is no intimacy, which I was hoping. In the menu there are breakfasts, eggs in several ways and small hot dishes. We're choosing continental and Savoy breakfast, with coffee and chocolate. Tea lovers will be delighted of the amount and variety of flavors offered in the cafe
After a few moments, we look forward to have our meal, which barely fit on the round table. Soft-boiled egg is cooked perfectly, served with crispy toasts and butter. I ate fresh bread and bun with cherry and apricot jams - delicious! I prefer sweet breakfasts, but I have to admit that Prague ham is very tasty and extremely delicate. Savoy breakfast also included nut marble cake. The piece is huge, and I'm already full, but I ate the cake with pleasure.
Café Savoy is perfect for breakfast, to have the energy for a day of sightseeing. On the menu are also available dinners, we didn't try them, but if they are just as tasty as our sets, it's worth a try! Delicious food and elegant interior encourage me to visit again. The place is quite loud and is probably the only disadvantage.
