There is nothing more exciting than seeing a place in a good movie where you have been. The passions and experiences of the heroes become somehow closer, and nostalgia again languishes in the streets and alleys on which the plot of the film unfolds. Therefore, many viewers, watching the wonderful tape of Giuseppe Tornatore "The best offer," they knocked down, trying to find the Night and Day restaurant in the Czech capital . Prague It is rich in many attractions, but Cozy street is not in it. Reviews speak about this quite confidently.
Finding a movie establishment
Many tourists tried to find the Day and Night restaurant, following the route of the protagonist. So, Virgil Oldman rents apartments near the Old Town Hall. From the window of the room offers a wonderful view of the clock Orloi. Going for a walk around the city, Oldman crosses the town hall square and delves into the weaving of the streets of the Jewish quarter. There should be a restaurant, whose entrance to the film is decorated with two dials. Reviews assure that the searches were crowned with success.
Disappointment from the find
What was sought was found not on the fictitious street of Cozy, but on the real At the merciful. It is called that because of the hospital for the poor at the monastery of St. Agnes. Nearby is Francis Street. However, the pub “At the Merciful” (Pivnice U Milosrdnych) is not much like restaurant "Night and Day". Prague loves to play such a joke with tourists. In the cinema, the entire interior of the institution is filled with a ticking clock. Some of them were with moving mechanisms - as in Orloi. But the reviews do not mention a single similar in the interior of the pub "At the Merciful."
Disappointment is replaced by admiration
But do not rush to leave the failed restaurant "Night and Day." Prague is famous for its gastronomic attractions. They come to this city especially in order to taste the pork shank, Christmas carp, trout, strudel and drink excellent beer. Ask the waiter for jellies and pitchers (menu and wine list). By the way, these books are also duplicated in English, German and Russian. It’s not long to wait. If you looked at the beer at the Merciful from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., you can choose your favorite dish from the Hotova jidla section (ready meals).
While your shank or carp is baked in the kitchen, sit down somewhere with a cup of espresso in the Merciful's Brewery. In winter - by the burning fireplace, in summer - on the terrace. Gradually, you will cease to regret that this is not a Night and Day restaurant. Prague knows how to pour balm on wounds ... Guest reviews sing odes to misted glasses of keg beer (especially unfiltered Gambrinus 12 is praised), steaks and patties on the bone. Waiters, whose overweight eloquently testifies to how caloric Czech cuisine is and how difficult it is to abstain from it, will recommend you which dish is especially good at this time of year.
Alarm message
Since August 2013, the Publishing House “At the Merciful” (or “Day and Night” is a restaurant) is called closed. What happened? They say that a large-scale reconstruction is taking place in the institution. They took up the premises on a grand scale, and the case, most likely, will not cost a facelift. There is an opinion that after the success of the film “The Best Offer”, the interiors of the newly opened institution will really resemble the “Day and Night” that seduced everyone.
