Where to eat in Prague

Restaurants, cafés and street food in Prague, Czech Republic that locals actually go to — plus the local names for the chains you already know.

• Café Savoy — Grand café, Malá Strana (2). Order the Savoy breakfast + větrník. Neo-Renaissance ceiling, French-Czech brunch, patisserie case.
• U Fleků — Brewery hall, New Town (2). Order the Flekovský dark lager + goulash. Brewing since 1499; the dark lager comes with oompah.
• Naše maso — Butcher counter, Old Town / Dlouhá (1). Order the Dry-aged burger + sausages. Butchers grilling their own beef and sausages — eat at the counter.
• U Kroka — Czech tavern, Vyšehrad (2). Order the Svíčková na smetaně. The svíčková locals actually recommend — book ahead.
• Lokál Dlouhááá — Czech pub, Old Town (2). Order the Svíčková + tankové pivo. Tank Pilsner and svíčková done to spec — the modern classic.
• Restaurace Mincovna — Czech, Old Town Square (2). Order the Duck with red cabbage. Honest Czech cooking on the tourist square — a small miracle.
• Sisters Bistro — Chlebíčky, Old Town / Dlouhá (1). Order the Chlebíčky trio. Open-faced sandwiches, modernized next door to the butcher.
