Hi!
Are there any restaurants you've eaten at in Prague that you really loved? (from cheap to pricey--doesn't matter!)
I have the newest Rick Steves Prague guide that I just got, and I read the restaurant recs, but sometimes there are places you just come across when traveling that are really great. If you have any, please send them my way! :)
Thanks!
We had a really nice meal at U Tri Pstrosu ("Three Ostriches") right at the Charles Bridge on the Mala Strana side. It was a little surprising because the location seemed like the kind of place tourists would go to no matter the quality (outdoor café overlooking the bridge), but all 3 of us enjoyed our meal very much.
Have a great trip!
In the moderate range I like the Kozlovna near Andel metro. Nothing special but a friendly neighbourhood place.

I am a regular visitor to Prague and the food and drink scene is always changing,a few of my favourites.

this is a new place on a boat on the river and is excellent.a nicro-brewery that has up to six beers available.
it also does great food,Top deck is a grill area,main deck a proper restaurant doing Czech Classics in a modern style,I can highly recommend their Duck and rabbit dishes.
lower deck is a proper pub with a limited beer food menu (worth looking up beer food as most pubs will have this available.

on the northern boundry of the city last stop on tram8 and 18 (Podabada), great food more bistro style but good choice was in there twice at the beginning of the month and it was excellent, I often visit there when in the city as I have a friend who lives nearby and it is basically his local.

this is on wenseslas Sqaure,not the greatest restaurant but a real fun place, does half decent pizza but the little trains that deliver your drinks are real fun,there is a cover charge in this place but the do tell you when you go in it is only 20kc so nothing much.

this place is on a street parallel to Wenseslas Square, great food and you actually watch them cooking it, great beer from the tank,I can highly recommend the venison in there.

In the heart of the Old town,a micro-brewery that does about 6 beers, food is excellent and the décor is quite lovely huge murals on the walls as well as some eclectic Czech paintings

this is a stunning place though I have never had an evening meal there I often meet friends there for a late breakfast or for coffee and cakes, looks a bit dodgy from the front but once inside it is truly beautiful.
that gives you a few idea.

this is opposite the Old Jewish cemetery does great ribs and chicken wings and excellent beer,try the rezane beer, dark beer floated on top of light beer,bloody lovely.
there are a few chain restaurants I can recommend.
Lokal ,Potrafena Husa and Kozlovna chains have various places throughout the city I have eaten and drank in many of them and never had a bad meal or indeed a bad beer, prices have always been reasonable and service great.
worth ducking down a side street to see what is there and giving it a go you just might find a real winner.
hope this all helps.
We really enjoyed Cafe Colore and plan on returning when in Prague in September.
I was in the Kozolvna Alan mentions a couple of weeks ago, had great chicken wings in there and it is a place I have been to many times.
Three very solid recommendations that I frequently recommend to guests on tours.
Thanks, everyone!!
Vinohradsky Pivovar that Marcus recommends is a great place, been about 18 months since I was last in but it is really good, limited menu but what they do is high quality and very tasty, their beer is great (made in house) and they have a decent wine list. Very modern place but with a traditional feel and they often have live music at night.Staff are a real delight,very nice indeed.
Slavia Kavarna is one place I really like...very art deco and has been the hangout of artists and poets for many years.
we have a lot of fun and good experience with U Templaru in old town... neat location. and good food
We visited Prague the first week of May. The beer garden at Strahov Monastery was not open this particular day. But, we did happen upon their Peklo Restaurant. Peklo translates to hell. So, of course, we had to eat there. The restaurant is under ground where they used to age the barrels. The food was excellent! And my husband had to hold me back from trying to crawl down the dark cave tunnel next to our table. It was a very fun experience. And by the time you walk all the way up the hill past the castle, you will be hungry!
Favorite bar in Prague: Hemingway's.
Favorite place to eat: Dish
Favorite beer garden: they were all awesome for different reasons.
Favorite easy place to eat: Lokal.
I loved all of Prague especially the beer, people and Art Noveau.
For the best steak you ever had in your life try Gran Fiero restaurant near old Town Square. Great !
