Prague Restaurants

  1. Klub Architektů

    Trust an architects' society to combine a candlelit 12th-century cellar with exposed industrial ducting and modern metalwork...whatever, they're doing something right, as this place is always busy. The extensive menu caters to vegetarians and vegans as well as carnivores but, as in any place with a big menu, the daily specials are always a good idea.

  2. Legenda

    This dark, buzzy place is repeatedly cited by travellers looking for a filling, functional feed - from Czech classics to pasta or steak. There's a Kč20 'cover' charge and you'll pay for the bread unless you wave it away, but we guess that with generous portions at low prices these might be bearable inconveniences.

  3. Restaurant Peklo

    Peklo is an eerily atmospheric restaurant set in a stone-and-brick vaulted wine-cellar beneath the grounds of Strahov Monastery (p000) - it was named Peklo ('Hell') because the gardens above are called 'Paradise'. The menu of Czech and international cuisine is heavy on grilled and roast meat and filled with infernal puns, from filet mignon diavolo (flambéed steak with potato dumplings) to chicken à la Mefisto (roast chicken with caramelised onions and sour cherry sauce).

  4. U Maltézských rytířů

    'At the Knights of Malta' is a romantic restaurant, serving top-notch and determinedly old-fashioned Czech fare such as roast wild boar with rosehip sauce and duck breast in walnut sauce at candlelit tables under Gothic arches. Don't miss owner Nadia Černíková's legendary strudel. Book well ahead, too.

  5. U Modré Kachničky

    A chintzy, baroque hunting lodge hidden away on a quiet side street, 'At the Blue Duckling' is a plush, old-fashioned place with quiet, candlelit nooks perfect for a romantic dinner. The menu is heavy on traditional Bohemian poultry, game and fish dishes.

  6. U Zlaté Hrušky

    Treat yourself to beautifully prepared Czech and international dishes at this fastidious restaurant in the romantic Nový Svět quarter. 'At The Golden Pear' is frequented as much by locals and visiting dignitaries as it is by tourists. In summer you can opt for a table in its leafy zahradní restaurace (garden restaurant) across the street.

  7. V Zátiší

    One of the first restaurants to open its doors after the Velvet Revolution, this gourmet place serves excellent Czech and international cuisine. Try asparagus with truffle and Tokay wine dressing, grilled langoustines or roast rabbit. The two/three-course lunch menu (weekdays), including a drink, offers reasonable value.
