Strada del vino

4.75
The .25 deduction is due only to the bright lights and early closing time. As it turns out, the Czech don’t stay out that late. So it’s quite a shock to the system when coming from Western Europe where dinner doesn’t start until eight and bars don’t get going until ten at the earliest. Useful tip: in Prague, dinner is at ⁶⁄₇ and you should be tucked into bed by midnight.
Anyhoo, back to this place. Excellent wine at very reasonable prices (about 4 – 6 euros each). Open, welcoming space that feels inviting. Helpful staff who know the wine and explain it well in English. But, as I said, the fluorescent lighting was a bit much. But this seems to be a going theme in Prague. Perhaps they like a well-​lit meal?
Wine drinking tip in the Czech Republic: the red wine are not great. They tend to have Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish wines on the menu (thumbing their nose at France perhaps?) for the red drinkers. I did not try the whites, but I hear they are good.
All in all, this place was a win.
