U Modré Kachničky
A plush and chintzy 1930s-style hunting lodge hidden away on a quiet side street, 'At the Blue Duckling' is a pleasantly old-fashioned place with quiet, candlelit nooks perfect for a romantic dinner. The menu is heavy on traditional Bohemian duck and game dishes, such as roast duck with slivovice (plum brandy), plum sauce and potato pancakes.

Au Gourmand
Au Gourmand is a French-style patisserie and cafe gaily decked out in colourful 19th-century tiles and wrought-iron furniture. It offers baguettes, pastries and a joyously bewildering array of cakes. Its caffè latte is among the best in town.

Café Tramvaj
All aboard for lunch. Sandwiches, salads and pizzas are served up at this pair of vintage tramcars parked in the middle of busy Wenceslas Square, and while the food might be unexceptional, the novelty value will entrance younger kids.

Ristorante Sapori
This elegant Italian restaurant is the best in the immediate vicinity for a proper tablecloth dinner with all the trimmings. We like the calamari with arugula garlic and cherry tomatoes. Offers daily lunch specials with mains priced under 150Kč. Handsome light decor with hardwood floors; excellent wine list.

Modrý Zub
This slick, stylish and deservedly popular noodle bar is ideal for a quick hit of chilli and ginger, just a few paces away from Wenceslas Square. Sit on the high bench along the back wall and peruse a menu that includes dim sum, warm Thai salads, red, green and yellow Thai curries, stir-fries with fresh Asian flavours, and noodles served all ways.

Kofein
One of the hottest restaurants in town is this Spanish-style tapas place not far from the Jiřího z Poděbrad metro station. Descend into a lively space to see a red-faced chef minding the busy grill. Our faves include marinated trout with horseradish and pork belly confit with celeriac. Service is prompt and friendly. Book ahead.

Hamtam
Vršovice doesn't have many really good restaurants, but one of our favourites is this relatively new spot that mixes Turkish and Middle Eastern influences to winning effect. The menu changes daily depending on what's fresh and in season, so you'll have to take your chances. On our visit the beef roasted in a coffee-flavoured sauce served on wide noodles was a big hit.

Angel
Sparkling but subtle décor in shades of champagne and chocolate, crowned with a lacy disc of fairy lights, creates a sophisticated, romantic atmosphere in this highly acclaimed new restaurant. The Asian-fusion food, with flavours and influences from Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia and Japan and an emphasis on fresh, high-quality produce, features delectable dishes such as hot-and-sour beef (dressed with tamarind, chilli and lime with fresh coriander and mint), and seared tuna with chilli sauce, sweet potato mash and crispy seaweed.

Na Rybárně
This unassuming little fish restaurant has been around for almost a century and has seen more than a few celebrity diners, ranging from writer Karel Čapek to ex-president Václav Havel, Rolling Stone Mick Jagger and former US secretary of state Madeleine Albright. The menu here offers everything from salmon and tuna to cuttlefish and tiger prawns, but the best dishes are the simplest and most traditional – trout with herb butter, and daily specials such as baked carp or grilled eel with lemon butter.

Malý Buddha
Candlelight, incense and a Buddhist shrine characterise this intimate, vaulted restaurant that tries to capture the atmosphere of an oriental tearoom. The menu is a mix of Asian influences, with authentic Thai, Chinese and Vietnamese dishes, many of them vegetarian, and a drinks list that includes ginseng wine, Chinese rose liqueur and all kinds of tea. Credit cards are not accepted.

Grand Café Orient
Prague’s only Cubist café, the Orient was designed by Josef Gočár and is Cubist down to the smallest detail, including the lampshades and coat-hooks. It was restored and reopened in 2005, having been closed since 1920. Decent coffee and inexpensive cocktails.
