Top choice in Staré Město
Arguably the coolest bistro in the Old Town is frequented by local office workers and the odd student who all come to enjoy well-prepared food in a pleasant dining space. The pale stone, bleached birchwood and potted shrubs make for a clean, crisp, modern look and the menu runs all the way from kick-starting breakfasts to full-blown dinners.
Unusual dishes such as fish and chips, linguine with goats cheese, and tofu make this a place worth seeking out. Best at breakfast and lunchtime.
