Prague / Dining / European


 

This place has the feel of a stylish retro hospital cafeteria, but with much better food and service. Staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, and they’ll leave you alone all day to drink coffee and read a book, if that’s what you want, without needlessly interrupting you or pressuring you to leave. Food is above standard and well priced. A great escape from the Prague streets on a rainy Saturday afternoon.

 

A trendy place in the very hip Mala Strana, Cihelna is one of the most popular kids on the block. A moving bronze sculture of two men urinating—designed by local artist David Cerny—greets you upon entering this place but, rest assured, once inside the mood isn’t quite as uncouth. You will find a modern restaurant with a riverside view. Expect international and Czech dishes on the menu.

 

The building that houses this brewpub dates back to the 1820s, when stamps were produced here. Today, the glue has dried and this Pilsner Urquell restaurant offers Czech pub food that is just as delicious as the world-renowned beer. Expect things like ostrich carpaccio, goose and Pilsner brewer turkey steak. Of course, salads and soups are available for those of the small beer-belly variety.

 

This restaurant is just as trustworthy as its owner, the Staropramen brewery group. It’s kind of a 'take off the tie and put on your jeans’ restaurant. When you come here, you’re in the mood for beer, chicken wings, big salads and meat. Easy, relaxed and central.
