The Most Expensive Restaurant in Prague 🇨🇿 Czech Republic - My Honest Review of Zdenek’s Oyster Bar

In the UK, my local has tons of fresh seafood, and we're seafood lovers, we pretty much eat it almost every day and it is our home signature's taste of happiness.

This time we're heading to Prague, and I did a quick Google search local seafood fine dining experience and I found Zdenek's Oyster Bar, which has won the Travellers' Choice 2024 award and to offer a range of fresh oysters. Plus, there are tons of great reviews, and the food pictures look super tempting.

Honestly, I’m not really into raw food. The first time I tried raw oysters was at Manon les Suite in Copenhagen, and they were super fresh and delicious. This was my second time having raw oysters in Prague. Here’s what I got at the most expensive oyster bar in Prague. They were super huge and juicy, melting in my mouth with that same natural sea flavor and a chewy texture, leaving a sweet aftertaste.

A "Royale" seafood selection for two means a fancy and large seafood platter made for two people, featuring a range of top-notch seafood options. You might find things like oysters, langoustines, crab, lobster, and other high-end seafood, plus some tasty sides.

We had a great time savoring the incredible texture of seafood such as shrimp, crab, and the massive octopus. The initial bites were super fresh, had a perfect texture, and were really delicious. Overall, the dishes were enjoyable for the first and second bites, but However, by the third bite, we found them a bit too salty for our taste; we prefer more natural and mild-medium delicate flavors.

Two glasses of white wine per person at a nice restaurant in Prague for 1000 CKč / 50€ is pretty much what you'd expect to pay for that kind of place and experience. Service fees 12.5% is 786.25CKč / 32€.

In Prague, fine dining restaurants typically include a service charge of 12.5% on the bill, but if not included, a tip is customary. While some restaurants may try to include an additional service charge, it's often a scam. If a service charge is already included, rounding up the bill is a common practice instead of adding a separate tip.

The total cost of all the foods featured in this video amounts to 7076.26 Kč, which is equivalent to 321.65 € and £280.00.

We rated it an 8 out of 10. The food is fresh and of high quality, but this restaurant in Prague, Czech Republic, can be quite pricey. It's actually more expensive than fine dining seafood spots in Paris.

If you are an oyster enthusiast, it is definitely worth a try!

After a fantastic lunch from 1pm to 3pm, we spent two hours at the restaurant savoring everything from starters to wine, main dishes, and desserts. Right across the street from the restaurant, there's a vintage church, and we took a walk to appreciate its old charm.

I don't feel like change dresses since I didn't bring many on this 4-day, 3-night trip. So, I just wear the same dress again for today to visit two more spots and let's come with me in the next video to the art palace and grab a drink at the rooftop of the U Princess Hotel.

Where to stay in Denmark AFFORDABLE 4 Star hotel Bryggen Guldsmeden Copenhagen 4K Tours & Reviews

Ubers in Copenhagen are expensive, even for just a 5-minute ride. It's about double the cost compared to Paris, Zurich, Sweden, and Prague. However, for the sake of convenience and a more relaxed journey, we still choose Ubers for our transportation.

The staff was exceptionally welcoming and helpful, and the amenities were both creative and enjoyable (especially there were free snacks, tea bags, coffee and other drinks available which was a lovely addition on each floor).

I had a truly delightful experience at the Guldsmeden Hotel. The atmosphere was incredibly relaxed, making it an ideal spot to unwind and take it easy.

I absolutely adored this hotel! It made our time in Copenhagen just perfect. The rooms had a great vibe and were super clean. The decor throughout the hotel was stunning. We really appreciated how eco-friendly the hotel was. The pool and spa area were a wonderful bonus. Sofia, the receptionist, was really friendly and went over everything with us. She's definitely a gem. The Bryggen Guldsmeden Hotel should give her some recognition.

Since we're checking in early, the pool is empty, but once 3pm, check-in time hits, it will many people there. If you're looking to snap some pictures or videos at the pool without nobody, early check-in or before breakfast is definitely the way to go.

I remembered a sunny day back in high school when our class was running around for two or three laps. I ended up feeling lightheaded and just fell to the ground. I almost rest for an hour in the school's medical room. At that moment, I understood that sports weren't really my thing. I get really scared if the pool is deeper than my height. I can't breathe and it freaks me out. I can't swim, but I believe it's not too late for me to learn how to swim.

Fortunately, I have a wonderful swim teacher, who is not only my best friend but also my dear husband. Now, I can swim at a basic level. It's amazing to learn a new things. see, how my swim teacher swimming in freestyle.

We spent a total of £300 for the full experience at this 4-star hotel in Bryggen. Our room, 425, had a direct view of the pool with a balcony, and it came with breakfast, access to the pool, steam bath, sauna, and dinner. A fantastic value for the price you pay.

This is the only restaurant in the hotel where we have our breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It has plenty of tables, and the spaciousness is enhanced by bright lighting, a lovely and chic vibe. I really like eating here, and the atmosphere is very nice.

These signature's cocktails are included for us as guests at Bryggen Guldsmeden Hotel. The next day, we headed over to Manon Les Suites, which is the same brand as Guldsmeden hotels.

The jungle fish poolside bar at Manon les suites is overpriced. every drink is priced between £9 to £12. so, this Bryggen Guldsmeden Hotel is totally worth it! I knew, it might seem like a sponsored video, but this is genuinely my real experience and an honest review, not a promotion or anything sponsored. We had a great time at the 4-star hotel; the restaurant, honestly, it felt more like a 5-star hotel. The food was super fresh and organic, plus it was top-notch. The chocolate dessert there was incredibly delicious, melting in your mouth with its hot chocolatey goodness, making it a perfect pairing with ice cream.

I accidentally smashed my toe with a super heavy table, since when we set our drinks on the table, it slid back and fell into the back holes, we were juggling our drinks with one hand and trying to hold the heavy table with the other, and then the table leg came crashing down right on my toe.

Just imagine this: if I hadn't been in those hotel slippers, who knows what could've gone down? There could've been blood all over the place or even a broken bone. At the moment, my toe looks all peeled, like a small case, but it hurts like a bone's cracked.

Thankfully, the pain gone after about 20 minutes; otherwise, it would have totally messed up my holiday mood, not able to walk and I would have had to rush to the hospital.

I reached out to the hotel team to stop any more of these avoidable accidents from happening to others. I don't really monitor the accident situation since I don't see the need to file a claim. I'm lucky that after a half-hour break, I'm able to walk normally again. Just a heads up for everyone to steer clear of this. It's a serious risk.

When you step out of your home to discovery the world beyond, you can never know what might happen. So, it's important to stay alert, notice every little thing, importantly, prioritize your safety. Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend! Keep a positive mindset, no matter what challenges you face.

Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I run away from home 😭 I drove all night 20 hours + to Aberdeen, Scotland

My handsome husband, YouTube nickname ItalyPaul, has been to Scotland three times. Around twenty years ago, he brings his mom, brother, and nephew on an unforgettable road trip there. Now, He's bringing me and you with him on his solo adventure in Scotland this May of 2025.

Honestly, he doesn't plan on road trip to Scotland; he is avoid the fight and slip away at the last minute. Driving to Scotland at night, especially on country roads with no streetlights, it can be challenging and seriously dangerous. Visibility decreases significantly, and factors like potholes, animals, and sleepy drivers increase the chances of accidents.

ItalyPaul was thinking I was mad at him because I didn't answer his many calls. I usually leave my phone behind when I'm cooking or just chilling.

He rushed to some nearby hotels at the last minute, but they were all booked up. So, I quickly reserved the last available room for him at a hotel close by! I would say to the solo traveller, You’re so brave and willing to put yourself out there! It can be a challenge and potential risks, and that stepping outside comfort zone to travel alone requires a certain level of bravery.

3) Dornoch - The Mound
4) Holiday Inn Express Aberdeen City Centre
- Breakfast Buffet

To be honest, before hitting up the hotel breakfast buffet, Paul stopped by a local place for fish and chips, then grabbed a McDonald's Filet-O-Fish and some chips for the ride. He had cold drinks, sparkling mineral water, and crips with him too, but he didn't bother to film it since he wasn't really in the mood, so he didn't focus on every details.

ItalyPaul's managed to keep his expenses under £500 for his solo 3-day, 2-night road trip to Scotland, included the penalty of £110. A round trip means driving to a place and then coming back home. It took 20 hours, almost driving 1200 miles, and spent over £200 on fuel for range rover.

It's a 3-day, 2-night road trip. On the first day, ItalyPaul drove for over 10 hours straight for one way, without any sleep, which was pretty risky.

Last time, he drove to the Isle of Wigh, the coast of England. This time, a difference route, so not the same modes are involved. Now, Wick is a town in the Scottish Highlands, close to John o'Groats, which is what you’re seeing in this video.

He drove into the bus lane, he also passed through a low emission zone twice, which is basically a clean air zone. a half-price deal within 14 days in total's penalty £110. It's still too much and unexceptional. With a positive attitude, he learned a lesson about the penalty and he is now safely back home.

Thanks for watching! Hope you have a peaceful and relaxing weekend! Give this video a thumbs up if you liked it! Good bye.
