Guests of the U Kristýna restaurant in Wurmová Street will be able to enjoy golden roast goose from noon on Friday, for example. The chefs there will prepare kaldoun with meat dumplings, fried goose liver on toasted white bread and goose in three different ways.
“Of course, we will offer the classics in the form of slow-roasted goose with red and white cabbage and bun and bacon dumplings. I recommend trying our confit goose leg with vegetable ratatouille, honey chestnuts and potato wedges. It’s a different concept of Saint Martin’s Goose and it’s definitely worth tasting,” says Jana Navrátilová, the company’s operations manager.
