Top 11 Restaurants in Prague, Czech Republic

Krčma, just 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 which is one of the most popular Czech dishes. It often fills up in the evening, especially on weekends, so be sure to book a table in advance.

Just outside the entrance to Prague Castle, Kuchyň offers you a unique dining experience. With no menu, visitors select the dishes by lifting the lids of pots on the stove and letting their senses guide them. 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 legs. There is also the option to have escargot served with or without shells. The chef is the owner of the restaurant and takes pride in creating colourful, tasty dishes. There’s a relaxed atmosphere and an excellent French wine selection.

Asian fusion restaurant Sansho combines fine dining with family-style service. There is an a la carte menu available for lunch, and 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 among diners. 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 go in Prague. It holds the title of the oldest pizzeria in the city and still uses traditional wood-burning ovens to bake every pie to perfection. By using the highest-quality ingredients, including fresh mozzarella and homemade pasta, this family-owned restaurant goes the extra mile to produce authentic Italian cuisine.

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 Prague’s 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 the restaurant’s delicious food, be sure to check out their lounge area and chill-out zone.
