My wife and I were visiting the most wonderful little town of Cesky Krumlov, wandering the streets and soaking up the magical atmosphere. Feeling hungry for some different cuisine, we saw the sign for this restaurant and decided to eat here.
We were enchanted by...the location, an old, historic mansion with a warm atmosphere. There is an indoor section for the cooler months and an outdoor area immediately next to the river, which we chose. It was truly a relaxing feeling to be next to the water, seeing the flow and hearing the sound. I forgot to mention that as soon as we entered, David the owner/maitre d/the do-it-all man greeted us with a big smile and friendly/hearty welcome. Very casual and at-home type of place.
Excellent food quality and taste, many choices on the menu, fantastic mint lemonade, and quick, efficient service. David was running around serving everyone and generally making sure that we were pleased with the meal. He took a few minutes between guests to chat; an extremely well-traveled, open-minded, and educated gentleman who decided to move from his hometown of Prague to Cesky Krumlov because he just loves the heritage site, as do we. My wife and I already fell in love with the place, and David will be another reason for us to return. Wonderful restaurant run by a quality human being and located in a UNESCO heritage site....what more can we ask for? This is the magic of travel....the connection of souls that we hope will make the world a better place.
A few friendly tips: bring cash/no credit cards accepted; go hungry and order an extra dish - you will not regret it; if David is not too busy, take time to chat with him because you'll gain a better appreciation of the country and the world in general....being from SE Asia, I loved how David was touched by the peoples, cultures, and languages of my part of the globe. May Laibon have many years of success!More
