Prague’s cuisine features hearty dishes like svíčková (marinated beef with creamy sauce), goulash, and smažený sýr (fried cheese), often paired with knedlíky (dumplings). Don’t miss local pastries like trdelník or Medovnik (honey cake), and try Czech lager or non-alcoholic Kofola.
For family-friendly, affordable meals, try Lokal, Kolkovna, or Mlejnice for traditional fare, and Café Savoy for coffee and pastries. Cross Club is a fun, quirky spot with good food for families, while Manifesto Market offers global street food in an open-air setting.
Vegetarian and children’s menus are common. Tipping around 10% is customary. Many places accept cards, but some smaller cafés prefer cash. Tap water is safe, but usually served only if requested. Reserve in advance for popular restaurants.
