The Top Restaurants in Prague, Czech Republic

Krčma, a five-minute walk from Old Town Square, serves some of the best traditional Czech cuisine in Prague — and you won’t be charged excessive tourist prices. The underground setting creates a cosy tavern atmosphere, making it the perfect location to grab a pint of pilsner and a plate of svíčková, sirloin steak in a cream sauce – one of the most popular Czech dishes. It often fills up in the evening, especially on weekends, so do book in advance.

Just outside the entrance to Prague Castle, Kuchyň doesn’t have a menu, so you have to select dishes by lifting the lids of pots on the stove and letting your senses guide you. While the selection is limited, it’s a trade-off for the quality of the freshly prepared food and the novelty of being able to choose it this way. The location is spectacular too.

The menu at Bistro à Table includes traditional French favourites like filet mignon and frog’s legs, with the option of escargots served with or without shells. The chef-owner takes pride in creating colourful, tasty dishes, served in a relaxed atmosphere, with an excellent French wine selection to boot.

Asian fusion restaurant Sansho combines fine dining with family-style service. The à la carte menu is available at lunchtime, while the six-course dinner menu is served at communal tables where you can select a meat, fish or vegetarian option. The seating arrangement creates a sociable atmosphere. The high-quality ingredients are sourced from Czech farms and Prague’s local Vietnamese markets, and Sansho prides itself on using every part of the animal — the first restaurant in Prague to do so.

If you’re in the mood for pizza, Kmotra is the place to come. This family-owned restaurant goes the extra mile to produce authentic Italian cuisine. It holds the title of the oldest pizzeria in the city and still uses traditional wood-burning ovens with quality ingredients, including fresh mozzarella and homemade pasta.

Just minutes from the National Theatre, Kabul Restaurant is the oldest Afghan restaurant in Prague and the best place to enjoy the amazing flavour combinations of Afghan food. Its menu is translated into multiple languages so visitors will have no trouble figuring out what to try. The dishes are reasonably priced so you can order a few different things to share with friends.

The Indonesian chefs at Garuda Indonesian, in the Holešovice neighbourhood, prepare their spicy food using traditional family recipes. Coffee lovers will be delighted to know they import coffee beans directly from Indonesia and roast them on-site. If you’re looking for a place to get some work done, or simply relax after filling up on delicious food, check out the lounge area and chillout zone.
