Dating from 1665, U Glaubiců is a festive vibe ancient Bavarian style pub with traditional tavern, vaulted ceilings, painted salons and multi-level cellars, offering hearty Czech eats, local brews and outdoor café. Recommended by the locals, we were warmly welcomed though failing the booking the large table. 

 

The best part of travelling with a group of fantastic four is that the huge plate can be shared with no doubt. Roasted pork knuckle is a classic pub dish, which features a shiny, crispy skin and succulent meat. Therefore, we order the pork knuckle alongside with fresh salad. The brine-marinated knuckle of pork from the hind leg, weighs around 3 kilograms, slow-roasted in the oven takes approximately 25 minutes to the table. From the instruction we acquire from the kitchen, only toward the end of baking, the oven temperature needs to be raised for a short time so that the pork skin would turn golden and crispy blisters form on the surface. 

 

The roasted knuckle is served with fresh bread and condiments, including dill pickles, mustard, horseradish, or sauerkraut. A properly chilled beer we enjoy is the must! 

Trdelnik is one the most popular street foods at every passage corner in Prague. Originated from the Moravian-Slovak border area, Trdelnik is a traditional old Bohemian sweet pastry made of yeast dough, owning strips of dough are rolled onto a cylinder, which called trdlo, and baked over hot coals, coated in sugar mixed with cinnamon or nuts. Located on Karlova 180/8, the bakery GOOD FOOD, was the pioneer producer to offer the chimney cone filled with ice cream and seasonal strawberries or raspberries.
