Just outside Loveland, Colorado, on Highway 34 on your way to Estes Park is, perhaps, the most wonderfully quirky fine-dining restaraunt I've had the privilege to enjoy. The Bohemian Cottage. From the minute you see the green-roofed kwansit hut adorned with hand-painted European images you know this isn't your average, or normal, fine-dining experience. With more than 25 years in this location, and another dozen or so running their restaraunt in their homeland, Henry and Lucy have more than a passion for creating the most amazingly authentic Bohemian fare I've enjoyed on this continent. Once inside, you may wonder what you've gotten yourself into: Huge Wallpaper Murals, pictures and postcards from their worldly adventures, and a menagerie of mismatched European gadgets & gizmos are the primary decor to this quirky and quaint joint. Don't worry ... soon enough you'll realize they are far better restauranteurs than interior designers! Every meal begins with one of Lucy's incredible homemade soups ... it doesn't matter what she's made you'll finish the trough she leaves behind. If you're lucky she's made her ham & lintel! Then, while you're tipping the bowl to get the last drop, you can hear Henry pounding out your schnitzel (and there are a variety of styles to choose from) in the kitchen. Everything is super fresh and prepared to perfection. The Schnitzel, Saurbratens, and goulashes (especially the pork & saurkraut if it's the daily special) are unbelievable and a great choice any time. Feeling wild? Hossenfeffer, elk, or boar is ocassionaly available and truly delicious. And don't forget to leave room for one of their homemade desserts, every one equally delicious and authentic. Best of all, the live entertainment ... when Henry finishes in the Kitchen, he'll, with a little begging, will pull down a guitar and harmonica from the wall and serenade you at your table. This is no run-of-the-mill cookie-cutter chain experience and something everyone should experience at least once in their life. We love it and you will too!!!
