Good food and drink can make or break a holiday. Nothing, though, in this regard will be lacking for you or your children in the Czech Republic. Not only can you dine well, but for relatively little money.
Parents certainly do not need reminding of the traditional Czech beverages.
- To visit the Czech Republic and never once try Czech beer is a sin. Light, dark, semi-dark … it comes in all possible varieties.
- The herbal liqueur Becherovka is recommended as an aperitif as well as a digestive.
- Don’t forget to try an excellent glass of Czech or Moravian wine.
Awaiting the visitor to the Czech Republic, along with international cuisine, is a wealth of traditional Czech cooking. Typical Czech specialities are:
- Potato soup,
- Beef sirloin in cream sauce and
- Roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut.
And for the sweet tooth there are
- cakes,
- crepes filled with fruit and ice cream,
- apple strudel,
- Pardubice gingerbread or
- Czech fruit dumplings sprinkled with sugar and curd cheese.
Nor should you forget to try a traditional spa delicacy – thin crispy round
wafers! These are available everywhere, yet taste the best along
a spa promenade – one more reason to pay a visit to one of the renowned Czech
spa towns. The best-known of these are those in the West Bohemia
spa triangle: the largest Czech spa towns of Karlovy Vary, Mariánské
Lázně and Františkovy Lázně.
