Lonely Planet review for U Matěje Kotrby
It’s only 50m away from the tourist trap that is U Fleků, but this place is the real deal – an atmospheric Czech pub strewn with more bric-a-brac, musical instruments and old photos than the average antique shop and, more importantly, sporting a menu of classic Czech grub from goulash made with Pilsner Urquell to pork knuckle braised in dark beer, mustard and horseradish. There’s also a range of traditional ‘beer snacks’ including utopenci (sausage pickled in vinegar), Czech cheeses with walnuts and olives, and libová tlačenka (pork brawn, or potted head), amusingly translated on the menu as ‘home-made headcheese’.

not impressed
mem_ceres does not recommend this,
It is less bursting with turists than its neighbour. However, the food is just average. The beer-cooked pork loin does not taste much of anything. The only beer recommendation I got was the most basic plain turist brand. Service is friendly, I'd give you that. But for nice surprises, head for another spot.
When i was in Prague a few years back, there was a nice small restaunt tuck away on the slopes from the palace down towards the bridges. Menu and staff knows no English, but the food was so cheap and delicious. i wish I could find that place again...
