Tiger Tiger
Tiger Tiger's tiny front yellow-and-blue dining room expands out the back into two further areas, one non-smoking. Although the restaurant serves some of the city's best Thai cuisine, meat and seafood dishes tend to be tastier than vegetarian - handy to remember when choosing weekday lunch deals ( to ; Kč100 to Kč140 for soup and a main).

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.

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.
-
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.
-
U Zlaté Studně
Perched atop a Renaissance mansion within a champagne-cork's pop of the castle, 'At the Golden Well' enjoys one of the finest settings in Prague. Weather will dictate whether you sit in the red-and-gold dining room or head upstairs to the outdoor terrace - both command a stunning panorama. The menu demonstrates French, Mediterranean and Asian influences.

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.

Wings Club
Shaped like a small aeroplane hangar, this theme bar is lined with Czech aeronautical memorabilia from WWII, with photographs and uniforms and even an entire propeller mounted on one wall.

Zahrada V Operě
This is one of those Prague surprises where what perhaps could have deteriorated into a tourist trap - ie the restaurant at the State Opera - turns out to be a well-loved local gem, with a quirky but stylish interior. An interesting list of starters, including Malsuka (goat's cheese in Arabian pastry) and South African bobotie, precedes favourites like lamb fillets, salmon and nasi goreng.
