Mlýnec Restaurant, Prague: Weekend Brunch

Le Marché Restaurant, Karlovy Vary
Spa Wafers: A Crisp Sweet from Karlovy Vary and Other Spa Towns
Spa wafers are two thin round sheets of crisp dough stuck together with a sweet filling of sugar, nuts, cinnamon or chocolate. Karlovy Vary has the oldest record of baking them, and a protected designation that demands thermal spring water in the dough, but it was Mariánské Lázně that gave them the shape they have today. Where the wafers got their name, why three countries fought over them, and why you should buy the warm one on the colonnade.
Mlýnec Restaurant, Prague (2): Lunch Menu
Mlýnec Restaurant is my favorite Prague establishment with an incredible view of the Charles Bridge. This time, too, I tried their lunch menu. A generous portion of foie gras with figs and a port wine emulsion was served as a starter. The main course consisted of juicy veal tenderloin complemented by polenta and mushroom sauce. The conclusion belonged to an excellent carrot cake with sea buckthorn sorbet.
Takumi Restaurant, Prague
A note from a February visit to the famous ramen restaurant Takumi on Senovážné Square in Prague. Alongside great Japanese gyoza dumplings came the special ramen shoyu, which wasn't worth what it cost, and an excellent karaage tan tan ramen with crispy fried chicken worth coming back for.
Mlýnec Restaurant, Prague: Lunch Menu
Mlýnec Restaurant is my favorite establishment in the center of Prague. As part of their lunch menu, I chose a strong beef broth, which reliably warms you up in winter. A juicy quail roulade with delicate pearl barley risotto was served as the main course. A sweet dessert at the end pleasantly concluded the whole visit.
Doce Uvas de la Suerte: Twelve Grapes for a Spanish New Year's Eve
Doce uvas de la suerte, the twelve grapes of luck, is a Spanish New Year's custom: with each of the twelve strokes of the midnight bell you eat one grape for one month of the coming year. Dan explains why an uva isn't a whole bunch, where the custom actually came from (and why the legend of the Alicante glut doesn't hold up), how the clock at Puerta del Sol strikes midnight, and what it was like on a roof terrace in Malaga.
