The latest edition of the Michelin Guide Main Cities of Europe, which covers hotels and restaurants, was published last month. The guide is famous for its 1 – 2 – 3 star restaurant rating system and it also includes a rating called Bib Gourmand, which highlights “good food at moderate prices”. Prague did not have any restaurants that received stars in the 2006 Edition, but three restaurants were awarded a Bib Gourmand: Aromi and Brasserie M (new additions), and Le Terroir.
The restaurants in the guide are geared toward business travelers, so I think that in this case the term “moderate prices” simply means that the restaurants do not fall into the top price bracket. Aromi has been on my list for a while now and I think it is time for a visit.
For our comments on some less expensive, but good restaurants in Prague, you can see our Prague Restaurants section on My Czech Republic.
Thanks to your blog, I’ve visited Le Terroire restaurant and may recommend it to anyone, who likes the French cousine with modern notes and a very good wine. Everything we ordered was exceptionally tasty and well presented. Their wine list is abundant and though we preferred Czech wines to accopmany our food, one can find there almost any famous wine.
We also would suggest a La Veranda (sp?) restaurant, which was recommended to us by our friends. We got an astonishing food prepared in so modern and creative way we couldn’t expect to find in Prague, still moderately priced (if one compares to the best restaurants in Moscow or even Kiev). That is something.
The last, but not least in our list ( 🙂 ) was a kosher restaurant named King Solomon in Jewish quarter. Although the majority of kosher restaurants, which we visited elsewhere, tend to be rather tasteless, this one is a real peal of Jewish food – such a good Hen soup with matzot balls or a Gefiltefish (prepared in a manner different from Ukrainian-jewish style) I cannot remeber in all my life.
Thanks for sharing your comments. I’m glad you enjoyed your meal at Le Terroir. You did spell La Veranda correctly.
