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.

Try this Turkish café for the hookahs. From apple tobacco and yogi tea to falafel, everything is here for you to fill your belly and enjoy the after-meal euphoria. Don’t be surprised on weekend evenings if you also have a belly dancer jingling her coin belt at your table.

Anyone who knows good sushi in Prague knows to come here. The kin-chi, vegetarian maki and sushi platters are always delicious. From the service to the food, you won’t be disappointed.

Not everything good comes perfectly packaged in Prague’s city centre— sometimes you do need to travel to get to it. Take-away Chinese food isn’t difficult to find, but authentic Chinese in decent surroundings is more challenging. A cheap taxi ride or an easy tram ride out of the centre, this restaurant is worth the trip.

This place spices up the sometimes bland choices in the city. The ground-floor café is a casual place to have a drink. Upstairs you’ll find the restaurant, where the staff become like family and will feed you until you’re stuffed and chat with you until you’re tired. Expect traditional Indian food and expect it to be done well. Czechs have a very low threshold for spices, so don’t expect your eyes to water.

The ultimate in relaxation: Thai massage followed by a Thai meal. A mini Bangkok in the heart of Prague, this restaurant is out of sight from the street, so find the sign leading you to this no-frills establishment. Expect delicious—not to mention amazingly inexpensive—Thai food. Not a bad choice if you’re looking for light food to keep you chugging along through your busy day. Massages can be had next door.

If you can’t be in Thailand, you can surely take a break from the streets of Prague and eat Thai food. This restaurant offers the best Thai cooking in the city, with all the favourites from gai pad namman hoy to pad Thau hu thau ngok. You don’t have to know how to pronounce it, just eat and enjoy.
