One of the best Italian restaurants in the city is tucked away in the residential neighbourhood of Vinohrady. A warm, natural atmosphere with a maternally attentive staff, it’s a great place to come when you’re famished. The portions are unbelievably generous considering the prices. Expect food like sea bass baked in sea salt and a three-pasta dish served with black truffles.

Owned by Borek Sipek, the official castle architect under Vaclav Havel. You will see why the former president, who once tried to make Frank Zappa the special ambassador to the West on trade, culture and tourism, was attracted to his zany artistic ways. Let’s just say the two have an artist’s eye, so don’t let the glass bathroom signs denoting the sexes disturb or surprise you. In addition to the sleek, funky surroundings, the food is perfect.

If you’re serious about fine dining, this place—featuring the 2002 Czech 'Chef of the Year’—is a must. Here you’ll find meat and seafood served to perfection. From tasteful interior design to fabulous culinary presentation, the restaurant is one of Prague’s finest.

Dating from 1902, this place has been everything: a stylish café, a billiard hall and then it was closed in 1948 by the Communists because it was too bourgeois. Reopened in 1992, it has made a comeback and is one of the best cafés and places to grab brunch in Prague. It’s a relaxed place to gain energy before a big day (or night) on the town, or simply a comfortable venue to have a coffee. Rumour has it that guests have included Albert Einstein and Franz Kafka.

There is always something relaxing about a restaurant where you can forego the menu and tell the owner to make what his heart desires. This is the case at Cicala which, while well tucked away, is still found by the determined, such as Hollywood celebrities Sean Connery and Matt Damon.
