Eateries & Restaurants

Czech bread is quite unique – sourdough taste and bit wet crumb texture that is something that differs it from other breads all over the world. The core of really good Czech bread are “sourdough” that is fermented mixture of rye flour and water (1:1), good quality flour and time given to the bread to rest. 

Recently opened, great vegan restaurant in Anděl district (Prague 5) where also people that eat meat will be satisfied – that is Pastva. 

We wrote about Eska restaurant recently (you can read the article here). It is very popular restaurant inspired by Scandinavian approach to gastronomy and transforming old recipes and practices into the modern Czech cuisine.

Prague locals visiting regularly farmer´s markets or other foodie events surely know sweet Votre Plaisir of Gabriela and Michal Hrubec. 

Eska is recently opened, but already very popular restaurant in Prague district Karlin. 

Have you already been to the recently opened ice cream shop Zmrzlinář? You definitely should go there as its ice cream is one the (few) best in Prague. 

The times when you could get hamburger only at McDonalds’ (if we can call it hamburger…) are gone! In Prague you can find more and more restaurants with great fair hamburgers of original recipes. Pavel loves hamburgers and that is why we explore new hamburger tastes time to time. Here are our tips on 5 best hamburgers in Prague :-)

Sometimes, we have a feeling that we have already found our favorite restaurants in Prague, returning there quite often for our popular meals and think that there can not be any other better place. How foolish we are… Our visit of Atelier Red & Wine restaurant has changed our ranking of the best restaurants in Prague! :-) 

Do you like (not only weekend) breakfast outside home as we do? We love it! Breakfast outside is for us associated with relax, no-rush, long eating, smell of coffee, egg meal and something sweet at the end. And after, long walk with our doggie back to home (to digest a bit ;-)).

We have few our favorite places where to get the best breakfast in Prague and we are happy to share them with you. :-)

Couple days ago, we visited restaurant Na Kopci – Prague restaurant awarded by Michelin Main Cities of Europe 2015 with Michelin Bib Gourmand 2015. That is an awards for the restaurants offering the great menu for reasonable prices. We used the family celebration to prove it and were not disappointed at all! Actually, we were amazed by everything we had ordered. 

Looking for great Italian cuisine in Prague? Visit some of the bistros & shops or restaurants of Italian chef Riccardo Lucgue. :-)

Czech Republic is „meat“ country that is known. The locals love meat of all kinds and big majority of traditional Czech recipes is meat base. Some people must have meat in every meal and I remember my grandfather always saying “the meal without meat is not real meal”. :-)

However, things and habits are changing and more and more people switch to healthier alternative ways of diet, either eating meat just few times per week or shifting to vegetarian, vegan or even raw food from any reason. Especially the latter is quite new in our country and more raw restaurants or bistros are appearing in Prague or in other cities.

Even though we personally do not follow raw principles and eat reasonably more or less everything, we like to try something new and exceptional and visit time to time raw restaurants. Especially raw sunburger from Secret of Raw is our favorite. So, be raw food your everyday life or just unusual diet variety like for us, in this article, you will find our tips for raw food places in Prague.

PURO Gelato is quite new ice cream place located just next to Prague river bank Náplavka and offers nice selection of traditional (we must recommend their chocolate with raspberry) and untraditional flavors (we tasted carrot or basil). PURO´s owner studied "Gelato school" in Italy - in the country with best gelato in the world! Her production is based on traditional gelato manufacture and uses only "pure" ingredients - without any chemical additives. Although we did not have a chance to taste all flavors on the menu that day (in late afternoon they were almost sold out), we think it place will be a nice alternative to our favorite Angelato - our favorite place to sin with pistachio or mango ice cream. 

For us - conclusively the best Czech restaurant in Vinohrady district (Prague 2) is Vinohradský Parlament​! They prepare Czech dishes according to traditional and modern recipes, all from fresh local farmer’s products. They have special small portions menu, so you can try more Czech dishes at once. We highly recommend beef cheeks with parsnip purée or roasted pork pieces served with potato purée. And of course, they serve refreshing draft Staropramen​ beer!

Foreign tourists like to have a walk from National Theater along the river bank towards to Vysehrad rock. There, they usually turn and go back, but do not be afraid to keep walking – you will get to the nice Prague district Podolí. Podolí is part of Prague 4 and is becoming very popular for Prague residents where to spend their leisure time. Besides sports activities such as biking, roller skating and water sports, Podolí offers some nice foodie places that the locals love. One of them is restaurant Podolka with a beautiful view on the river (located in the local Yacht club). 

Autumn is back with its unpleasant weather and that is time to warm yourself by some good soup. Czechs love soups and last 6 years, you can see a big boom of “soup places” in Prague. Also, in almost every café, they offer at least one kind of soup during lunch. Here are our three favorite places where to get the best soups in Prague.

If you like to explore other neighborhoods except Prague centre and connect it with a tasty vegetarian lunch or dinner, we have a tip for you – the restaurant Grazing Daisy, located at the entrance to nature reserve Divoká Šárka in Prague 6 (close to Vaclav Havel Airport Prague), hidden in a greenery.
