Dinitz Café gears up for summer |

Dinitz Café this May celebrated its first year in Prague. During that time, the café has made some extensive changes to its menu, removing traditional Czech dishes and some Mediterranean fare, as well as reducing the overall number of dishes. Its manager said the aim was to improve the quality of the food.
The café also changes its menu to mark the seasons; this month some new lighter dishes were introduced to go with the hot summer days. DJ nights have also been replaced with live music every day, mainly jazz, blues and Latin American genres, along with salsa dancing lessons. Another attraction is Wi-Fi Internet connection.
Dinitz Café, well-known for its neo-Art Deco style, is the sister of the Dinitz Restaurant, which opened in Prague in August 2004 on Bílkova street in Old Town. The café?s main room has high ceilings and an airy feel, while the upper floor is home to a whiskey bar, which opens at 8 p.m.
There?s a curved bar lined with stools on the lower level and a smaller one upstairs in the café, which also offers a VIP room and a conference room. Large windows can be opened on the lower level to let in air but that?s a rather unwelcome option at the moment, as construction of the Palladium shopping mall is in full swing at the former military barracks at Nám?stí Republiky.
The brass-accented main room?s interior is on the dark side, with massive black tables and leather-covered chairs. Only the upper parts of the walls and ceiling are light in color. The room is decorated with replicas of Art Deco pictures. The reviewer noted that the main room could do with more pleasant touches, like flowers on the table, to make it a bit more inviting, but during our early morning breakfast visit, the recorded music was jazzy and easygoing.
We ordered the breakfast ?de café? ? offering a choice of two eggs, bread, butter and jam, a mini müsli, mini caprese salad, slices of grilled bacon and pork sausages (K? 210) and guacamole crostini ? guacamole, fresh tomatoes, basil, olive oil and lemon juice on grilled bread (K? 185). The mini müsli had tiny pieces of fresh strawberries in it. The crostini was a refreshing alternative to typical breakfasts. We found nothing wrong with the meals, except that the breakfast de café was rather fattening.
The café offers a selection of 10 fresh juices (K? 80 each), including red beet, celery and ginger juice. We decided to stick to safe bets and ordered freshly squeezed orange and grapefruit juice, which came with a black straw that matched the dark décor; later we tried cappuccino and café latte (each K? 60).
Breakfast is available all day long. The menu also offers some starters, meat dishes, pasta, sandwiches, burgers and desserts. Dinitz also caters to local businesspeople by serving daily lunch specials.
The reviewer suggested that the café could offer more than four breakfast choices, or even devote a full page to breakfast and allow customers to mix and match options. Nevertheless, the reviewer found the breakfast far better than what?s offered in most Prague hotels. The overall quality of the food was good and so was the service. Although the reviewer said he wouldn?t return for any particular dish, he?d recommend the café to first-time visitors for its dark but stylish décor, and gave Dinitz a seven out of 10.
