Two restaurant books I've read in the last 6 months, Kitchen "Confidential" and "Waiter Rant", both say eating out on Valentines Day, especially if there is a "special" menu, is not a good idea.Brewstahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07696497881565368117noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117457965555197769.post-18570296732769193502009-02-16T19:07:00.000+01:002009-02-16T19:07:00.000+01:00Sad to say, but took J to Angel for Valentine's da...Sad to say, but took J to Angel for Valentine's day and we came away slightly unimpressed.<BR/><BR/>Service and atmosphere: A+. Simply excellent.<BR/><BR/>The starter platter: A-. Fantastic shredded duck and the most tender quail breast I have ever eaten. Tuna spring rolls were great. The quail eggs were fine, but could have done with something more tasty to complement them. But there was something that looked like shredded crabsticks that basically tasted of nothing.<BR/><BR/>So we waited in eager anticipation for the main course.<BR/><BR/>I had the Chinese style slow-roast pork belly.<BR/><BR/>50% fat at a guess, and it should be crispy but just wasn't. I've had this in China several times and was sadly disappointed by the Angel version.<BR/><BR/>J had the lamb from the Valentine's Special menu. It was jaw-achingly tough and looked grey around the edges which was a bit worrying. The waiter went to talk to the chef and explained that this was the effect of the yoghourt marinade which made sense.<BR/><BR/>We decided to skip desert, which may have been a mistake, but after asking to have a chat with Sofia from the word go (we know her from her special menu nights at Oliva and have chatted to her a few times) and being assured that she was in the kitchen, cooking, we were informed that she had left because it had been a long day.<BR/><BR/>Hmmmm. So. Maybe we hit it on a bad day, and I would definitely go back for the shredded duck, the quail breasts and to try the sea bass (they had run out), but I can't help but feel a tad disappointed by the whole main course experience.<BR/><BR/>You will no doubt be glad to hear that we went to Bar and Books afterwards and got completely bladdered, so the night turned out pretty well. :)<BR/><BR/>Cheers, WillGood_Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01252001112610850186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9117457965555197769.post-11174815316908391232009-01-31T14:36:00.000+01:002009-01-31T14:36:00.000+01:00Also agree with you on Noodles.

The menu has a number of other national dishes, including Czech. I just didn't see the need to take the time and space to list them all (including Japanese). Perhaps I wrongly assumed everyone knew where Yaki-Udon was from.

The only redeeming quality is they have a great outdoor seating area in the summer. But it doesn't make up for the food. The last time i went I said I would never go back. It is my least favorite restaurant in Prague.<BR/><BR/>And my favorite restaurant in Prague is... ANGEL! Great food, great experience. My wife and I loved it and plan to go back again soon. The only place we like nearly as much is Cafe de Paris. We went there (again) last night and it was as fantastic as usual. It is about half the price of Angel and much closer to our apartment - so it is our restaurant of choice.Nhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15265666368945069096noreply@blogger.com
