“polední menu” literally means “noon menu”. If a restaurant has it, it’s usually hard to miss. A type-written sheet with the lunch menu for the day is often attached to the main menu. It may also be advertised at the entrance to the restaurant. Ordering from the lunch menu is a good way to try some typical Czech meals other than the notorious pork-dumplings-sauerkraut, goulash or snitzel – assuming that the restaurant doesn’t target foreign tourists, in which case they’d probably think twice before offering lentils with smoked meat and pickles.
