Meat-lovers and curious diners should not miss this simple five-table Bosnian-owned restaurant at Zizkov. They offer freshly grilled cevapi (cevapcici), minced Bosnian-style sausages. For 100 CZK, you’ll get a 175 gr of popping hot meat stuffed in pocket bread (Bosnian sarma). You can also get half portion for 50 CZK. Another variation of cevapi, spicy cevapi, is called Sis Cevap. The meat is made into longer-shaped sausage, similar to typical sausages you see in Czech restaurants. However, I don’t think the Sis Cevap are
as spicy as they are in Bosnia. Real meat-lovers can try  a combo plate of cevapi and sis cevap, Mamut, which comes in various sizes.

The cevapi is served exactly like in Sarajevo, with only onion slices dotted along the plate and no tomatoes seen in wall pictures. The proper way to savor every bite from this delicious meal is to use your hands, tearing a piece of sarma bread, picking the sausage and feeling the juiciness in your mouth and the grease on your fingers. Yummy!

And you know how they really eat this meal in Bosnia? They wash it down with plain, thick white yogurt instead of beer, soda as people here in Czech do quite often. 

Tasty, healthy salads are surprisingly cheap as well for only 35 CZK a bowl.

Cevapis are everyday dish but Bosnian pies (burek, meat pies; prompirusa, potato pies; sirnica, cheese pies) comes only on Thursday on daily menu. There is a little bit of something for sweet-toothers too. For 40 CZK, you can indulge yourself with Bosnian’s extra-sweet baklava and apple cakes.

Last Friday, I went out with my roommate and her friends to Na Slamniku,a typical Czech pub/restaurant in Hradcanska [map]. This restaurant is not something you can tumble upon by accident while walking on the street. It is well-hidden from the main street where the metro and trams run.

It’s difficult to understand how such cheap restaurant exist in a luxurious neighborhood lined up with fancy villas, governmental and diplomatic buildings. Even from across from Na Slamniku is Villa Schwaiger housing the chain restaurant Argentina Steak House where a meal cost 500 to 1000 CZK.

At Na Slamniku, for as little as 130 CZK, you can get a super big plate filled of freshly made food. The portion is so big I literally drop my jaw. This huge BBQ ribs and chicken wings dish cost me a mere 145 CZK.

My mother over-taught me eating manner so normally I behave like a nice lady at dinner table. However, in this occasion, despite all eyes on me, I picked the ribs and the wings with my two hands, circling them on the wooden plate to soak the sweet chilly sauce and then dipped them in sweet mustard before adding a little bit of horse radish and onions.

Yum! Yum!

This restaurant cooks very strange combination of meals, for example fish goulash. It also has a small menu of Chinese, Thai and even Tibetan food (I don’t recommend eating Asian food at a Czech restaurant).

Do expect that I will return to this place very soon in the future and update this entry with more juicy and yummy update.
