Restaurants from Around the World

Prague

Having been tested successfully on beer-loving Czechs, the beer train is heading for the United States and China.

Vytopna Restaurant at Wenceslas Square offers good food and drinks at reasonable prices. But its unique attraction is a 400m miniature railway which runs around the entire restaurant, and even down the centre of the tables you sit at.

The restaurant's owners are passionate about traditional railways and have developed miniature train networks for years.

The railway tracks pass through tunnels, over drawbridges, through sculptured rock formations and woods, alongside ponds, and the trains pull into stations. The trains reach speeds of 20km per hour. What's more, they deliver drinks to your table, sitting in their wagons!

It's reasonably fast, efficient and fun.

Brazil: Pudim

Brazil: Pudim

Foods From Around the World

Brazil

Pudim, pronounced (poo-gene),  is not pudding; despite what it might sound like.  It can best be described as a Brazilian version of Flan which has a softer texture. The difference is that Pudim does not use gelatin and it is much more like a stiff custard. Pudim is probably the most commonly eaten dessert after basic cakes and Brigadeiro in Brazil, and it is inexpensive and quite simple to make. There are several varieties of it, from Chocolate or Brigadeiro flavored Pudim, to a cooking sheet baked type of Pudim called Pudim de Pao... or Bread Pudim... which is nothing like the Bread pudding it might make you think of. You'll find this dessert in every restaurant, cafe and home.
