Vepro, knedlo, zelo – Pifko Bar and Grill

Vepro, knedlo, zelo - Pifko Bar and Grill
Czech national dish! Slow roasted pork served with cabbage and dumplings. €10.50
Pifko Bar and Grill, Dublin IRELAND

“Pifko” means “pint” in Czech. This is a random restaurant along the River Liffey but we were looking for a change. This was the first time I’ve had traditional Czech food and I don’t think I was made into a fan. The pork was really good, but I didn’t really like the cabbage or dumplings. They were on the sour side for me and the dumplings were soggy and unappetizing. I guess I’m just not used to these flavors and textures.

  1. 🙂 Actually, “pifko” means a bit of beer or a little beer. And vepro, knedlo, zelo is really a German dish…it all goes back to the Austro-Hungarian empire (but that’s just a detail at this point). Cheers!

    • Thanks for the corrections! I got most of my info from this Czech restaurant’s menu so I assumed that they would at least know what their own national dish is since they have it advertised as such.
