The restaurant La Degustation Bohême Bourgeoise tells the story of the Czech nation in the form of a thoughtful tasting menu interwoven with references to our traditions, whether it is the careful selection of ingredients from local producers and breeders, or the gracious and elegant setting in which this flavor ballad takes place. Thanks to the honest work of Chef Oldřich Sahajdák and his team, you can taste meals like the Czech nobility of the past, or just take a walk in the Czech forest, or reminisce about the years spent in the countryside. Strictly described dishes such as pork, horseradish, mustard, cabbage, truffle, or egg yolk will only hint at first that the kitchen works with typically Czech ingredients and will put you in the mood for a surprise. This lies primarily in the way the ingredients are processed. The crispy pork belly does not crackle because of the baked skin, as it usually does, but because it is wrapped and grilled in a thin bread crust. The cabbage-based course was purely fresh shredded cabbage, covered in mayonnaise and cabbage sauce, with potato crumble and shaved black truffles on top. In turn, the course with egg, vegetables, and cheese offered harmoniously combined flavors of basic ingredients, served with a technically perfectly done poached egg yolk. The dessert in the form of yoghurt, chocolate, and pumpkin surprised with a mix of flavors and an extra texture provided by candy dust and frozen pumpkin juice “crumbled” into chunks. All this was crowned with smooth and soft yoghurt ice cream. The occasional combination of untraditional ingredients does not prevent you from enjoying an excellent dining experience, which is presented here with true humility towards food and the life itself.
