Restaurant Prasna Basta

Restaurant Prasna Basta

Prasna Basta has developed a strong reputation and is now featured in several tourist guides. What is interesting is that it remains very popular with an intellectual and artsy crowd of locals. The service is unobtrusively friendly. The locals tell me that the food is usually of high quality, although there are occasional inconsistencies. In the summer, the restaurant offers very pleasant seating in its quiet backyard.

Popular starters include the Armenian salad - grated carrots with an extremely garlicky mayonnaise sauce. From soups, try the onion soup (Cibulacka) or garlic soup (Cesnacka). Main dishes include Racisdorfska pochutka - a pork and beef delicacy in potato pancake and Sote Jose - chicken strips in creamy white wine sauce with hot peppers.

Our party tried several different main dishes and all were enjoyable. In my mind it is hard to go past the Plate "Prašna Bašta" (for 2 persons) a combination of beef and chicken breast, ham, mushrooms and green peas (SKK 465) or theTidbit "Ratschisdorf" a combination of beef, chicken, wine, ham, mushrooms and vegetables (SKK 285). A friend really enjoyed his Pork a la "Dijon" with white wine, cream, and french mustard. (SKK 155).

I had a bean salad with yogurt (SKK 50) which was most unusual but delicious. Vegetarians are catered for with a fusilli with pesto genovese, dried tomatoes, and olives (SKK 145).

I am a sucker for great desserts and I must say that the pancake with nut filling, chocolate and cream (SKK 55) was excellent. We thought this was excellent value for money given the location and quality of food. A full dinner for two including wine is from about SKK 800 ($25).

There is quite an extensive wine list but I was not familiar with many of the offerings. The restaurant operates daily from 11am to 11pm.
