Food

It’s great to see more places putting in the effort for vegetarians these days. Klášterní šenk, within the serene, leafy grounds of the 10th-century Břevnov Monastery, is one such establishment. The mushroom soup – served in a regular bowl or one made of bread – is a tasty feast, though it’s the creamy pumpkin risotto that keeps me coming back. The Serbian restaurant Jelica is another favourite. Embroidered curtains and ceramic wall plates give the place a welcome dash of Yugoslavian kitsch, and the stuffed zucchini and Balkan salads are amazing.
