When it came time for a final Czech meal, I really wanted to try out a more decidedly local restaurant. Oh boy, everyone had the same idea.
U Parlamentu is a favorite among locals and now travelers alike for they serve authentic Czech food with local beers at bargain prices.
Service is fast for what it is. There were only two waitresses I saw servicing the entire floor and it was very packed!
We started off with the crispy garlic bread - normally you think toasted bread with butter and garlic minced - baked to a buttery goodness, no?

| Czech garlic bread |
Not according to the Czechs. Their bread is browned and very crispy. You get garlic cloves - 3 of them - 1 for each slice of crispy bread. The garlic has to be mashed against the toast until you feel there is enough garlic flavor. There is no butter with it. Once you get the garlic juice onto it though, it tastes pretty good.

| Pork medallions with sauerkraut and bread dumplings |
The best part of this simple Czech meal was its pork, which is really good in Prague. Very moist, tender and the sauce's blandness is matched by the sauerkraut's pickled taste. The bread dumplings were just like montau - chinese steamed bread! I found it reminiscent of home.

| Marinated beef in creamy sauce |
Barb was not too impressed with this dish at all. It was too bland for her and there was nothing to cut that - not even sauerkraut.
Service was a bit short but we got cheap, traditional Czech fare fast.
