I will be staying in the Prague Old Town area for 3 days between August 20th and 23rd. When traveling I enjoy the authentic local places to have a meal and drink. Given that Old Town is going to be full of tourist traps, I would enjoy hearing suggestions on places where people had pleasant experiences while having lunk, dinner or just a cold beer.
Rod, you may get some new responses, but this was recently discussed:
