Food Scene

My go to place for traditional Czech cuisine: good food, great service. Usually busy in the evening, best to reserve (I can make a reservation for you). Lunch menu is different from dinner. They have specials during the weekend.

Small artisanal deli specializing in Italian cheese and meat products. They have a good selection of wines, too. They serve sandwiches and salads as well. Right on the same building where I live!

Exquisite food (asian fusion). Pricey, but worth it. Check their website for the menu (lunch is different from dinner). Best to reserve (I can help you with that).

Also from the chef of Sansho (right beside it). A cheaper alternative but without compromising on the quality. Small place, hip interiors. Meat dishes and excellent donuts (as the name suggests). They also serve craft beer.

Café and artisanal gelateria. Haven’t tried their coffee (the selection though is rather wide) but the gelato is quite good. Moderately priced. New branch recently opened right beside Ebel (Kaprova)! This branch is close to U Kroka.

Not a big fan of this kind of coffee house (I like smaller ones) but for the ambience and the history, go see it and have coffee/tea. And they actually serve good duck confit (a specialty here, which I like very much).

Small organic and fairtrade café with excellent coffee. They also serve good vegetarian dishes (if you want a break from meat-heavy Czech cuisine). They have other branches but this is the nearest from my place.

My favorite coffee place (I get my supply here). Excellent coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. The chocolates (sweets) are also quite good. There’s another branch but I go here because it’s near the library.

Butcher shop which servers excellent meat products (sausages and steaks). Beer and wine is also very good. Don’t forget to check out their deli shop and take home some of the food that you enjoyed the most.
