Ferdinanda

If you are looking for truly delicious Czech cuisine favored by locals, you should head to Ferdinanda. It is only a matter of time before this rather secluded restaurant receives rave reviews, becomes an overnight sensation and is conquered by tourists. The establishment boasts a bright interior with farm motifs - rakes serve as coat hangers and feed bins are used as ashtrays. The staff is incredibly warm, friendly and efficient. Although they do not speak much English, they will make the effort to accommodate you. The food has an authentic homemade taste and is delicious. Czech cuisine is known for being on the heavy side with the majority of dishes focusing on meat, and meat is most certainly Ferdinanda's main star. The savory taste of their steak served with a pepper sauce is zesty, fresh and incredibly tasty. Ferdinanda serves traditional Czech fare at affordable prices and therefore is a great find among Prague restaurants.
