Paying homage to his roots, Slavo Cech’s favourite bite to eat comes from Bistro Praha, a Czech-stye restaurant with decades of history in central Edmonton.
The Steak à la Tartare with garlic bread is Cech’s go-to meal, and while you might expect the bread to be toasted, it’s actually deep fried in oil.
“The flavors in that are truly amazing, and it’s the traditional way to do it,” says Cech, who has Czech roots.
The familiar food isn’t the only reason Bistro Praha is a hot spot for Cech — his parents were good friends with the original owners.
“It’s been a part of my growing up for about 25 years,” says Cech. “It’s an institution here in the city.”
