Prague Czech Beer Restaurant, Potts Point

Juicy roast pork knuckle $18.90
served with pickled cucumbers, horseradish, mustard and bread

EDIT: Prague Czech Beer Restaurant has closed

My pork knuckle arrives on a chopping board. With cutlery jammed in deep. It's just as well I'm sitting down or I'd have swooned.


Crunchy fried and stuffed mushrooms $8.90
with blue cheese and tartare sauce

The night had already started off well at Prague Czech Beer Restaurant. We'd shared a platter of fried stuffed mushrooms, golden brown nuggets filled with fresh mushrooms and oozing blue cheese.

Deciding on our mains had been much much harder. Twenty five different mains were on offer, most offering pork.


Golden roasted Doung duck $21.90
based on an old traditional Czech recipe
served with red cabbage, sauerkraut, bread and potato dumplings

J stuck with old faithful, the golden roasted Doung duck, crispy in skin and tender within. Fat stodgy discs of bread dumplings were the perfect sponges for mopping up duck gravy. The mounds of red cabbage and sauerkraut helped counteract the richness of the dish.

My pork knuckle was, oh, divine. The enormous beast of a bone was clad in gloriously moist meat that flaked off with the touch of a fork. Its armour of crackling was no match for my knife. I even gnawed at the bone.


Marinated pears in wine on vanilla glaze $8.50

A short interim soon cleared way for dessert. J partook of the marinated pears, whose spectacular presentation made us all think (and crave) matchstick custard slices.


Hot raspberry on vanilla ice cream $7.90

Hot raspberry on vanilla ice cream includes a very generous serve of fruit, not to mention its very funky presentation glass.


Apple strudel with walnuts and ice cream $7.50

I stuck with old faithful, the apple strudel with walnuts and ice cream. The apple mixture wasn't as sweet as I'm used to, although were plenty of walnuts.

The beers here ($6.50 for 500ml) are a little more expensive than Doma Bohemian Beer Cafe ($5.50 for 500ml), but if you're a pork knuckle fan like me, you won't be complaining.
