Attend : 'Fish & Chips', Prague

Fish and Chips, 21 Dlouha Street, Prague

 After a long weekend break in Prague, I stumbled upon a restaurant that was a pure case of right time, right place - there was nothing I fancied more on that Sunday afternoon than a good old English Fish & Chips.

 Quintessentially British in design, a rarity in the gothic architecture of Prague, this simple, stylish and modern Fish & Chip shop was both a 'take away' and a sit down restaurant.
 The simple design was paired with a simple menu, made modern with the additional serving of mini bottles of Veuve Clicquot.  

 The cod was perfect in beer batter, the chips were just the right 'chippy' chips - Gourmet Fish & Chips! The interiors had quirky takes on all things traditionally fish and chips - newspaper wallpaper, red phone boxes, soho writing and quirky 'Save Water - Drink Champagne' slogans.

 The dining area was reminiscent of London tube tiles with 60's pop art and an opulent glass chandelier centre piece. The swinging glass doors opened directly onto the street, ready for some people watching...

 Hillgate village is best described as the area immediately south of Notting Hill Gate. The are is famous for it's multi-coloured houses, village feel and blossoming restaurant scene.
 The sun eventually came out on Saturday, and walking around I briefing re-discovered this local area. It's definitely an area that I'm going to go back to, re-discover and utilize the local businesses.

  A famous restaurant in the area is 'Geales'- I've heard of this before (apparently having the best fish & chips in London) and it was great to finally find it.
 We're already planning an evening here to sample the menu... (a post on this coming soon)

 Other interesting sights in the area are the quintessentially village style shops & services with a modern twist including hairdressers, sushi schools, antique shops. It's an upmarket area but being close to Notting Hill Gate it has that great mix of established life / street influence / village style.
