If you are new in the Academy or visit it for the first time, ask any student you meet in the corridor for the way how to get to the canteen. For lunch you should go down to the basement of the building. Here a pleasant surprise is a sink to wash one's hands before the meal (but it is a pity that there was no soap for hands). When you come into the canteen, the room is very light, new and artistic. The cooks here work so fast that there are no more than 5 people in a queue. In this canteen I ordered pancakes - half a portion, actually. This order opened a real mathematical discussion with the cook - how to divide a portion of 3 pancakes into 2 parts? However, I got my half portion of pancakes and a lot of jam on it. Different kinds of food in the canteen was a nice advantage: roast chicken, beef, even some dishes for vegetarians too. The environment in this canteen differs from the usual ones: massive wooden carved heart shaped chairs, yellow tissues on the tables, bright blue artificial flowers. The artistic atmosphere naturally leaves a mark in the canteen - I am referring to some quite good paintings with the fragments of the Old Town on the walls. The diners are rather different here - from lonely office workers to actors and actresses you see on the stage in some plays. If you are brave enough, you can easily meet and talk to one of them and, perhaps, get an invitation to several plays. Food:
Pancakes I ate reminded me soft buns. You have to try them at least for the fact that the cooks add some raisins in the pastry in order to bake such pancakes. A great variety of second-course dishes - the clients I saw were buying all kinds of food, and there were no exeptions. Everybody could say - in this canteen everything is delicious! Compote:
A glass of apple compote impressed me a lot. I highly recommend not forgetting to take the spoon and grab the pieces of apples in the bottom of the glass. |
