Once you find a table in the restaurant of your choice, a waiter comes to give the menu. Firstly they will take the drink orders. Then comes the hardest part and this is to order the food. Usually, the restaurants in the Czech Republic do not offer English menus. They are arranged like this: first are the starters, then the soups, then the meals of poultry, then the house food recommendations. Then comes the ready made food, then the meals for which you have to wait. After that comes the fish, the salads and the vegetables and sauces. The list with the desserts come last. Travellers will notice that when they order beer and meals based on pork, the dishes will come very quickly. This is not so with the rest of the dishes.

The starters include beef soup with noodles or small meat balls, gulash soup with ham and sausage pieces, potato soup and borsc. Usually, the bread comes with the soup and is usually free but not always. Other starters could be fried mushrooms, rolls of ham, fried garlic bread with cheese. Now, the main course could be beef goulash with peppers and fresh onions, pork goulash, slices of beef with bread dumplings, chicken fried in breadcrumbs, chicken breasts with potatoes, beef steak, pepper steak, roast duck and rabbit. Garlic is used a lot in many of the dishes. Salads usually come as a side dish in the Czech Republic and they can be a mixed salad, a sopsky salad with cheese on top, tomato salad and cucumber salad. The desserts are usually very nice and they could be a glass with fruit and ice cream, pancakes with fruits and ice cream, cake and apple strudel, which is delicious. Once you are done, the waiter will offer you coffee or tea. The bill comes when you ask the waiter for it. Tips are given to the waiter and are not to be left on the table.
Those who want to eat at a bar in the Czech Republic might try the Klobasa, which is the big German sausage, which is served with mustard and bread, or the little sausages Parek that taste great. Other great dishes are Sekana which is a meatloaf, and Topinky which is fried bread with garlic.
