Viniční altán

This place gets bad reviews and from what I translated — I can somewhat understand.
Apparently in the summer seating is scarce and some waiters are not so friendly. Also, and I agree, the menu is small.
However, for me, this spot gets 4 stars. I’ve wanted to try it for 6 years, and though I would prefer if it was more central to Prague, it really isn’t so bad to get to once you know which tram to take, or which line to use (and don’t mind walking a smidgen).
The vineyard is a working vineyard which means you might as well just get a small carafe of the house wine. (White or red — both are decent, though I preferred the white.)
As we’d already eaten lunch, we weren’t at all hungry when we ventured here. However, I had to get *something* so I opted for the Czech cheese board.
My husband and I both found cheeses we liked, so it turned out to be a fine decision.
I’d love to try the Italian meat and cheese board if I make my way back on another visit.
We lucked out as the weather was cold and humid, so it wasn’t crowded at all.
Also lucky for us, a very kind and enigmatic young Czech guy was able to speak with us in English, and even set us up in the huge grey room with enormous windows. For quite a while we had this room, and its fantastic view, all to ourselves, only sharing it later with a couple of older Czech women who seemed just as pleased as we were.
From a wine gazebo with, at least for us, very friendly service, decent wine, and cheese and meat boards — I don’t see what more you could truly want.
Maybe we were lucky, maybe we’re just Americans, but we loved passing part of our afternoon here and I would recommend it to anyone who feels like venturing out to Praha 10.
