Europe Train meal
This is the train from Berlin to Prague. Most of the people don’t eat on the train, so all these cafes are very presently not crowed.
The waiters are always very nice. The meals are reasonable priced. The taste are much better than airplane meals.
Cheese, Beer, Drinks in Czech
A tiny beer garden in Prague. We ordered the cheese plate. They offered many different cheese that I had never had before.
Some of them is so extremely strong.

An restaurant that is open a since Medieval time.
I am sure the food is different, however, it is very expressive to see a restaurant have been open for so long.
Above is sausage with meat pudding and corn meal. They are very different from anything I had before, but they are delightful.
Beer Garden in Berlin
Beer Garden is something you gotta enjoy and try if you visit Germany.
There are many beer garden. It is pretty much an outdoor drinking place. They often also serve pretty decent food too.
Beer is cheaper than water in most of the restaurant.

Plachutta in Vienna
Tradition hot pot in Vienna. According to many locals this is a must try.
It is not cheap. Each pot costs around 20 to 25 US dollars. The whole meal costs around 35-40 US dollars for each person.
If you are thinking about sharing, there is additional costs for that person.
Although these pots comes with heavy price tag, but it is extremely delicious.
I think it is worthy to try it at least once during your visit.
Cafe Sacher
Tarte is one of the landmark for Vienna. If you visit Vienna, everyone will tell you have to try Tarte.
Cafe Sacher is highly recommended by almost every tour book.
Since we are tourist, I guess we should go visit.
The decoration of the restaurant is extremely fancy. Most of the guest are there for the decor less for the dessert.
The dessert is expensive. The tarte is good. It is rich in flavor but not heavy.
I like the dessert but not sure if I would go again because of the price tag.
