Traditional Czech Cuisine

Cafe Slavia

One of the best locations in Prague! The grand windows offer stunning views of Prague Castle and the National Theater, as it is nestled in the classical building across from the famous theater. Cafe Slavia, sister restaurant to Restaurant Parnas, has been a traditional gathering place of artists and intellectuals since the late 1800's, including former president Vaclav Havel. The Art Deco interior is complemented by traditional specialties of the house; do not miss the French-style crepes, Czech pancakes, or a cup of grog or decadent hot chocolate. The regular menu is complemented and e

Cafe Savoy

This stunning cafe is located on the western riverbank, not far from Kampa Island and just across the street from Lesser Town. As a monument to Prague`s rich history, this airy and open cafe is a great place to relax and breathe in the aroma of the past. Situated on the ground floor of a fin de siecle building, this cafe has been around since 1893. Once a decadent coffeehouse, the Savoy was a favorite smoky haunt in the era after the Velvet Revolution, before its modern redecoration in late 2001. Although recently reconstructed, this venue offers a stunning, elegant wooden and marble Art

U Vejvodu

While you wander through the narrow, winding streets of Old Town, make sure you find your way to U Vejvodu, a traditional Czech jewel of a restaurant. U Vejvodu has retained the Czech pub spirit, without the so commonly-found smoke and noise, by keeping the Pilsner beer flowing at very reasonable prices. The first impression when you enter the small first level is one of a cozy little pub, but continue a few more steps down the stairway lined with autographs and messages from its patrons, and a whole new world is revealed. Inside you will find rows of well-tended tables and booths nestled amo

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 k

U Kalicha Original Svejk Pub

A Mecca for tourists, U Kalicha has all the essential features of a traditional Czech pub: meat, dumplings, beer and more beer. This popular restaurant has stood on the same spot for over a hundred years and the interior was refurbished sometime in the thirties. The main dining space can seat several hundred guests and the walls are adorned with large cartoon depictions of the literary character Good Soldier Svejk and quotes from Jaroslav Hasek's book of the same name. Throughout the years, visitors have added their own personal comments and signatures. Somewhere among the hoards of signatures

U Medvidku

U Medvidku, or At the Little Bears, is one of a dwindling number of classic Czech pubs operating in Old Town. In a popular tourist destination such as Prague you often come across ‘Czech Pubs’ that are not at all traditional; U Medvidku is the complete opposite, you will be completely satisfied with U Medvidku’s traditional atmosphere, and the fact that Czechs still frequent this real-deal establishment is all the proof you need. The cozy interior is complete with rows of wooden tables and chairs (usually packed full of people, so arrive early!) and an army of servers bearing

The PUB - Pilsner Unique Bar

The PUB is a cool place to drink fresh unpasteurized beer from individual table taps that you get to operate yourself! The lively atmosphere, unpasteurized beer, delicious food, comfortable seats and decent prices will not disappoint. In fact you may end up drinking the night away with your friends, as it is indeed dangerous to be the pourer of your own drinking fate and since there will not be a line for service at the bar, watch out. This is a good place to go out for the night and enjoy the city of Prague and its world famous beer. The Pub also serves typical Czech fare at affordable

Kolkovna V Kolkovně

Thirsty for a delicious pint of Pilsner? Skip all those tourist-oriented restaurants and bars that line Old Town Square and head over to Kolkovna V Kolkovně. This award-winning restaurant and pub (labeled “The Best Pub” by Prague 1 City Hall, etc.) is located in a beautifully renovated building in a space that used to house a printing studio. The interior of the restaurant successfully evokes an old-world atmosphere, which is underlined by the beautifully restored original brewery equipment, the antique advertising posters, and old photographs. Kolkovna’s star is its fresh

Potrefená Husa-Vinohrady

Potrefená Husa is a chain in the Czech Republic that combines delicious food at affordable prices with excellent, friendly service. The chain first opened in Vinohrady in 1999 and has been going strong ever since, opening new restaurants throughout the city of Prague. Potrefená Husa-Vinohrady offers a varied international menu with favorites such as duck, cheeseburgers, chicken wings, homemade pastas, soups, fresh salads and much more. The giant cheeseburger served with fries, the duck leg with honey served with onion dumplings, and the Fettucine al Salmone are – simply put – fan

Strahov Monastery Brewery

Perched atop the city part of the Strahov Monastery compound and the lush surrounding Petrin Hill, the Strahov Brewery is a delightful find in the bustling city of Prague. Just steps from the massive Prague Castle complex, the microbrewery serves about ten variations of St. Norbert beer (3 all year round and 7 seasonally) and the brews are all delicious and fresh with crisp hints of unique flavors. The unfiltered and unfermented brews include a bitter Amber blend that is similar to a German Märzen, or a German Lager beer, and a dark Vienna brew from Dunkel. Seasonal brews vary with the summer
