Al Fresco Dining | Prague Stay

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

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

Malostranská Beseda – Café and Pilsner Urquell Restaurant

Located on the ground floor of the Malostranská Beseda are two fine establishments, the Malostranská Beseda Pilsner Urquell Restaurant and the Malostranská Beseda Café, while the basement level features a cozy pub with brick walls and wooden benches at the tables and large-screen TVs playing the hottest sports games, making it a perfect place to meet with friends for a beer and some snacks, or it can be rented out for private events. Malostranská Beseda, an important historic cultural center, has been meticulously and sensitively renovated with the old concept of the building in mind and the

Cantina

This is a step south of the border; Mariachi music and Latino classics echo through the reasonably priced, bright yellow space, which caters to a trendy crowd of young professionals and expats craving zesty Mexican cuisine. Brazilian coffee bean sacks cover the ceiling while neon Mexican beer signs, neon cacti, colorful sombreros and pictures of the Mexican rodeo complement the numerous Aztec figures dotted around the place. Usually busy, the combination of Tex-Mex favorites and the upbeat atmosphere is a crowd pleaser; reservations are recommended. You can expect a reasonably priced menu

Cafe de Paris

Located in romantic Mala Strana next to the Lennon Wall, Cafe de Paris is a wonderful find. Cozy and intimate, this family-run Parisian brasserie features al fresco dining during the mild months. The French interior is simply pleasing with wooden chairs, large windows, plants and French posters depicting the feline (every French establishment must have the famous Tournee de Chat Noir advertisement poster by Steinlen on its walls). The menu is small, but the French fare featured is very tasty, most notably the Entrecote Cafe de Paris filet of beef served with fresh, very hot French fries and a

Taverna Olympos

Located a bit off the tourist map, Taverna Olympos is the best place for authentic Greek food in the beautiful city of Prague. Taverna Olympos is as authentic as authentic can get in central Europe; remember, the restaurant does not have access to all of the fresh scrumptious ingredients they make up the Greek kitchen. Keeping that in mind, Taverna Olympos does a fine job at preparing their delicious Greek specialties. For most, the starters are the true winners here, so if you are feeling like a meal of tapas, this is a grand place to go. The pita bread is served hot, it is light, fluffy and

Luka Lu Harbour Lu

The name of this restaurant means Lu Harbor, and its atmosphere, interior and menu really do capture the essence of a lovely Mediterranean harbor. The unusually colorful and cheerful restaurant includes paintings of fishermen's boats on the walls, a friendly and helpful staff that make you feel at home, and a menu that offers mainly traditional Balkan cuisine with some inspiration from the other side of the Adriatic. Most meals in the menu are not overly complicated since they are mainly prepared according to traditional recipes, but the results are extremely enjoyable with all the ingredients

The Globe

The Globe, hailed as a Prague institution – a title it surely deserves – is a lovely restaurant, café and bookstore with over 10,000 new and used titles ranging in diversity, located in the New Town section of Prague. The Globe, established in 1993, and famous as the first English bookstore in Prague, features some of the best home cooking in the city of Prague and offers juicy burgers, crisp salads, colorful pastas, a full American-style brunch on the weekends, and more, alongside delicious coffee, tea, cocktails, wine and beer. The stunning restaurant is located in the back of a

Beas Vegetarian Dhaba

Beas Dhaba is a great option for vegetarians and vegans in Prague. Beas Dhaba has various locations throughout Prague - what a great way to eat your way around the city! Beas focuses on Northern Indian cuisine and offers dahl, sabji, basmati rice, soup, chutney, dosa, parantha, thali, chai, and fresh juices. The food is affordable and excellent, prepared from scratch daily and contains no traces of eggs, meat, or fish. The decor in all of the Beas establishments is attractive and simple; some feature original bright jungle paintings by Milos Vacik while others are dripping with lush gree

Pizzeria Grosseto

Pizzeria Grosseto is one of the most popular Italian food chains in Prague. Offering locations in Dejvice (the original location), Vinohrady (the interior is fun with a mural of Sienna on the walls and striped kelly green and navy blue Venetian poles to tie your gondola to), Pruhonice, and Brumlovka, Pizzeria Grosseto covers a good amount of ground across the city. These popular restaurants are always packed for lunch and dinner and it is easy to see why. Pizzeria Grosseto offers inexpensive, authentic Italian food in a cheery atmosphere with a very friendly staff. The secret to making authen
