From Sunday, January 15 until until Wednesday, February 15, the Grand Restaurant Festival returns to eateries in Prague and across the Czech Republic.

Masterminded by Pavel Maurer, the food critic behind the renowned Maurerův Výběr Grand-restaurant guide, the festival allows diners to sample dishes at some of the Czech Republic's best restaurants for between 200 and 600 crowns.

Typically, each restaurant offers a regional specialty, one of the chef's signature dishes, a traditional dish billed as "Mother's Meal" ("Jídlo od maminky") and/or a degustation menu.
