The food was excellent and beautifully served. Sitting in the porch surrounded by the beautiful scenery enabled us to enjoy the lovely spring weather and made the experience even more pleasurable.

MorePichonka has one big advantage - its location. Coming with family, we enjoyed the view from the terrace. However, that was a sole consolation for what was no more than a mediocre lunch. The mediocrity started with the waiters, which were quite annoying, tried to stir us to the more expensive dishes (and oh, there are certainly some overpriced ones), and awkwardly refusing to check the possibilities for a vegetarian among us with the kitchen. The dishes came at a random order, some forgotten until we had to ask for them, side dishes following the main dishes more than 10 minutes later, in quite a big mess. The food itself was rather outdated - conventional meat plates, without anything interesting or appealing about them. I had the burger, which was overdone (I asked for medium and received medium-well, as did my spouse) and came with an insufficient amount of cold sub-par fries. The Entrecote steak was too chewy, and with too many pieces of fat - not the finest piece of meat. The chicken steak received more compliments, though. All in all, it was a mediocre experience, and only the view and the proximity to a hike would be a good enough reason to return.
