Best EATS in Prague!
Best EATS in Prague! Join me while I share with you some of the best places to eat in Prague! If you plan a trip to Prague soon, here are some of the BEST Eats in Prague that are charming places slightly off the beaten path, yet still very close to every place you want to visit in Prague.
This fall, we returned to Prague and found some new places to share with you for “a taste of Prague.” Keep in mind, with so many places to choose from, these are some of our favorite places to eat while visiting Prague!
BEST EATS IN PRAGUE!
First, there are three places we recommend for their delicious breakfast; these restaurants also offer a lunch and dinner menu, as well as special Czech dishes.
CAFE SAVOY is located in Prague 5 (Mala Strana), and has its own bakery on premises. Their menu is inspired by classical French cuisine with a mix of Czech dishes. Cafe Savoy is full of history and art.
It’s a perfect little spot to enjoy coffee and dessert! Reservations are highly recommended, even for breakfast.
CAFE IMPERIAL is located inside the Art Deco Imperial Hotel of Prague (Na Porici 5, Prague 1). And it’s a 10-minute walk from the Old Town Square. They offer a wide range of breakfast items to choose from. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere is early 30’s art deco, elegant, and historic.
Cafe Imperial also offers Czech signature dishes on their menu. If you want to try some Czech cuisine, I highly recommend Cafe Imperial.
Sometimes we enjoy stopping in for a quick afternoon coffee and snack. They make the best cappuccino ever!! And, they serve it with a chocolate truffle and a small glass of water. Simple and elegant!
Next on our list of favorites is LA BOTTEGA LINKA!
LA BOTTEGA LINKA is also within a short walking distance from the Old Town Square. It’s a local Bistro with a versatile menu from breakfast to specialties from the grill. Very casual atmosphere, with a lovely staff, and there’s never a wait or a long line to get in. And the food is excellent!
One of their signature dishes (and it happens to be our favorite) at La Bottega Linka, is their grilled octopus over creamy mashed potatoes and charred truffles. I have to tell you, it’s outstanding!
LA BOTTEGA LINKA also has its own on-premises bake shop. Here is one of their classic pastries filled with passion fruit cream. This dessert, with its white chocolate logo on the side, was amazing!!
SUSHI is also on our list of Best Eats in Prague!
SASAZU restaurant is known to be the best Asian restaurant in Prague! Their dishes are a work of art! Just check out the SASAZU website for their classic dishes and make reservations to eat there. You won’t be disappointed.
An Upscale Dining Experience
If you want to splurge on an upscale restaurant that is popular among the locals, try KOGO SLOVANSKY DUM Restaurant. It is also located in Prague 1 and offers a wide menu of meats, seafood, and tapas.
Beautifully hidden behind a mall surrounded by lovely gardens, shops, and cafes. They offer indoor and outdoor seating with a view of the gardens.
However, if you are planning to eat there on any weekend, we highly recommend you make reservations, or the wait may be very long.
How About Italian or French Cuisine?
If you love Italian food, then try CASA DE CARLI, owned by a young chef named Matteo De Carli, who was also a chef at New York’s famous Cipriani’s on 59th Street, New York City. It’s an upscale restaurant known for its authentic Italian dishes!
CASA DE CARLI is open for lunch and dinner, and everything on the menu is SUPERB!
Another favorite Italian restaurant is PEPE NERO, known for its excellent homemade pastas, pizzas, salads, and everything in between. It is located in Prague 1 (across from the upscale Fairmount Hotel). And, they are reasonably priced.
Another favorite restaurant (but it is located in Prague 10, which is about 20 minutes away) is called MISTRO Restaurant. Be sure to call to make reservations – it’s a small place and very popular because the quality of the chef’s cooking is outstanding.
KAMPA PARK Restaurant is one of Prague’s premier fine dining restaurants that offers gourmet French-style dishes, with 3 summer terraces and a romantic winter garden, all on the river with spectacular views of the Charles Bridge and more! The food and service were exquisite!
Ask to speak with the manager, Peter, who will gladly give you a full tour of the restaurant and its different scenic views. Then make a reservation for the romantic date-night you desire!
Best Eats in Prague continues…
If you’re in the mood for a delicious wood-burning oven pizza, and one that gives you the experience of authentic food from Naples, Italy? We found one!
SAN CARLO PIZZA E CUCINA NAPOLETANA is also located in Prague 1, Mala Strana, and they’re open for lunch and dinner every day. This charming little place is located beside the boutique Hotel La Ballerina. But keep in mind – they have become so popular, you’ll need to call and make reservations for this one too.
Try Some Czech Food! The best local PUB or Beer Hall!
The Czechs are known for their fine beers and ageless brewing methods. Are you looking for one of the Best Pubs or Beer halls in Prague? We found it!
LOKAL, located in Praha 1, is across the Charles Bridge in the Old City called Mala Strana. They offer a wide menu of their famous Czech beers, local, authentic dishes, and sausages. It’s a fun, casual place to relax and enjoy a good beer with a sausage and potatoes.
You know what they always say, “Eat as the local Czechs do!”
Quick Bites for Lunch
And, if you’re LOOKING for a quick bite on-the-go in Prague? … we found that too!
While we were seeing the sights, we stumbled across a sandwich shop where local Czech people eat breakfast and lunch on the go! These are colorful open-faced sandwiches that are very appetizing and are displayed like a work of art.
With a wide variety to choose from, it wasn’t easy to eat just one!
These sandwich shops are called LIBERSKE LAHUDKY and have 9 locations throughout Prague, making it easy for you to stumble across one! And they are very cheap. Click on the name and check out their website.
Coffee Shops and Bakery
There are numerous coffee shops and bakeries where you can enjoy, and are located in Prague 1.
Last on our list of Best Eats in Prague is, of course, the BAKE SHOP!
Many students who come here to study abroad always end up at the famous BAKE SHOP in Praha 1. It was one of my daughter’s favorite places to eat while she was studying abroad. It’s a Bistro / Bakery that offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering even gluten-free and vegan options, and it will surely leave you satisfied!
Plus, it has its own on-premises bakery – offering some of the finest baked goods in Prague.

We had a wonderful time in Prague last month and I can second how good the restaurants are in the city. We went to CASA DE CARLI to make a reservation but the restaurant was booked for the night we had free.
