Prague’s cuisine features hearty dishes like roast pork with dumplings and sauerkraut (vepřo knedlo zelo), goulash, and creamy svíčková. Don’t miss traditional desserts such as apple strudel and a glass of world-famous Czech beer, or taste local wines. Vegetarian options are growing, especially in central restaurants and cafes.
For a classic experience, try Lokál for homemade Czech food at moderate prices, or Café Louvre for elegant café dining with lovely views. Seniors appreciate U Pinkasů’s historic beer hall and Mistral Café’s relaxed atmosphere. Tipping 10% is standard; leave cash directly for the server.
Seasonally, Christmas markets offer tasty mulled wine and pastries. Many venues accommodate dietary needs—just ask staff. Prague’s dining scene is safe, friendly, and easy to navigate.
