Prague Restaurants

  1. Casa Argentina

    This relatively new place seems designed to tease Prague carnivores. The service is ditzy, the parilla -theme interior is kitsch, but the place serves such tasty grilled steaks that people find themselves returning, despite themselves. Local restaurant critics suggest you ask for your steak without butter and apply any sauce yourself.

  2. Cowboys

    There's a fine line between chic and kitsch, but this upmarket steakhouse manages to walk it, even in clunky boots and slightly tacky staff outfits. Its Dolce and Gabbana-style cowhide seats and adult-orientated rock soundtrack is offset by soft lighting, exposed brick and a simple but deftly executed menu. There are succulent steaks and tasty fish, plus pasta and Portobello mushroom burger for nonmeat eaters. The outdoor terrace, 70 steps up, overlooks Prague's rooftops.
